Fun Filled Friday!

This week we got our garden ready and Thursday Clint came and stayed the night so I could finish planting and start some major work on the yard. Everything had been landscaped but I think the previous owners neglected it and now the flower beds are packed with weeds and they have a ridiculous, uneven rock border that we got rid of yesterday. Kenzie loves playing with Clint so it was nice to have him here to keep the girls busy and help me lift some of the bigger rocks. Chad also took the day off so he was here to help. While we were doing it the girls decided it was pretty fun and started putting little ones on the trailer with us, even Brooklyn was helping! Here's a picture of the girls climbing on all the rocks we cleaned up.

After working on the yard all morning we decided to pack a lunch and drive up the little canyon by our house and have a picnic. It was so gorgeous up there, everything is so green and there's wildflowers everywhere and the river probably had the most water I've ever seen in it. Since Clint was with us I made him snap a few pics of us.

Heres's the girls having lunch with their Uncle Clint.

Walking with the girlsMe and Chad (look at all the water behind us!)Some pretty scenery...

Buried alive!

So the other day us girls were playing with blocks and Brooklyn just decides to climb in the bucket. We started burying her with the blocks and she just giggled, she thought it was so funny!

Then Kenzie had her turn!

Last weekend was so nice. We got out Kenzie's bubble gun and she blew lots and lots of bubbles for Brooklyn and Rialy.

While they were playing Brooklyn just plops down on the grass and I don't think she liked the way it felt on her bare legs! Look at this face!

Loves music, Loves to Dance...

Both girls love music and love to dance, Here's some clips of Brooklyn doing what we call her "funky chicken dance"

Kenzie loves Taylor Swift, she has almost every song on the cd memorized. She will take it in her room and turn it up real loud and just sing her little heart out, here's a clip of her singing her favorite song.

Yesterday Kenzie spent the whole day with Grandma Liebes, she took her shopping and to lunch then they went back to her house and she helped Grandma do some yardwork, she was so messy when she came home but she had a blast! When she woke up this morning she was ready to do it all over again! Ewww! Her shoes were all wet because they'd just sprayed all the mud off them.Since Kenzie was gone it was just me and Brookie all day. She was so silly, she kept hiding and playing peek-a-boo with me all day. I think she was really lost and bored without her big sis!

This was today at lunch, she was so tired she fell asleep in her high chair.

Lucky, Lucky Me!

So this was my Mother's Day surprise! I actually got it Friday but we've had a pretty busy weekend so I'm just now getting around to taking a picture so I could, well, show it off! We've been needing another car because Chad has to commute so far, instead of buying another junker we decided to buy a new one for me and just keep the malibu for Chad to use. It's a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, obviously it's silver on the outside and black on the inside, and it has so many extras I'll be lucky to learn how to use everything. I love that it has keyless entry, it makes it so much easier for me to get the girls in and out of the car!

Mother's Day was nice. We visited with Dianne for a little bit in the afternoon and that morning we went to breakfast with my Mom & Dad & family. Here's a picture of all of us girls together.

Me & my girls

Happy Mom's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there! Hope your day is great! I feel very lucky to have come from such a great family, to have married into such a great family, and now have such an amazing one of my own!

Birthday Party & A BBQ

What a fun Saturday! My brother's little girl, Savanah, celebrated her first birthday! We all got together for a "Princess" birthday party at the park and had lunch together. Here some pics of the Birthday girl.

She hasn't started walking just yet, but with this stroller Kenzie picked out for her, I bet she will be very soon! Eating her very own mini cake.Messy cake Kisses for Daddy!Princess BrooklynWhat a silly girl!Eating a picnic lunch with Rialy.Me and Chad

After the birthday party we went to some friends house for a BBQ and Chad & Kenzie played horseshoes. Check out how good Kenzie is!

Brookyln had so much fun filling this little bucket with rocks then dumping them out. She did it over and over again!

Here's what we've been up to lately...

Our weather has been very unpredictable. Some days it's like summer and then the next it's snowing. On May 1st we had snow and it was cold enough that it actually stuck to the ground. Thank goodness it didn't stick long. We are supposed to have warm weather for the next few days now. We've got our fingers crossed, now that the girls have been able to play outside for a while, days when they can't are just terrible. My tulips have finally bloomed, I took these pictures yesterday.

Rialy has come down to play a couple times lately. It's great for Kenzie to have someone closer her age to play with. Poor Brooklyn just doesn't understand "how to play" sometimes and Kenzie gets frustrated with her. Most of the time Brooklyn is pretty content to just move on to something else, I'm sure that won't last forever. A couple of times they've both wanted the same thing and they both just squeal when the other tries to take it. Oh the joy of sisters!
McKenzie and Rialy loved picking flowers in the front yard.
Kenzie is still loving the makeup, she's getting a little more adventurous with it now, she not only uses it as lip gloss but it's also eyeshadow, and blush now too.
The other night before I went to bed I checked on Kenzie and this is what I found. Isn't it so sweet.

Brooklyn is still loving that she can climb on things. Here is her first triumph to get up to the kitchen table. She was so excited!
The recliner in our living room is one of her favorite things to climb on because once she's in it she can make it rock. That's a whole 'nother adventure.
She likes to climb around on the rocks in our yard too, she thought about this one but decided for now its a little too big and moved to another she could sit on. I'm sure she'll try to climb it sooner or later. (Hopefully, for my sake, later!!)
She's also been doing the funniest thing lately when she eats, she'll close her eyes really tight and just sit there with her mouth open wide until you give her a bite. What a goof!
