SOOO many posts!

After HOURS and HOURS of uploading and reformatting, I just added *8* new posts on here!  Go back as far as February if you'd like to review in chronological order!  I hope I'm not this far behind again down the road!

Cheers to a busy summer coming up for us, and lots of traveling this year (well, for us)!!

Thanks for reading....

B & EJ

Mother's Day!

So, the "little giant" was pretty excited to wear a big, flow-y dress that I picked up at a garage sale last year...and I was kind of excited because it was a pretty pink. :)

After church, we made it to the park with our sweet friends AL & Dave and they were so kind to take pictures of us again.  So, I am delighted to share my Mother's Day pictures!  So special and important to me....



EJ decided to get up on the piano bench at the front and 'sing' into the microphone while playing.  She looks awfully comfortable there.  Check out the video below....


Flowers and a teddy bear given to me, but EJ thought it was all for her, and clearly liked the teddy bear.  She'd been hugging it around the house, which originally was named "Marissa" and was a boy. :)  Now, I think it's a girl, named "Marsa"  (no, not Marcia..."mar-sa").  I think it's so fun that the stuffed animals are starting to get names - 6 months ago or so, she gave each animal her own name.

Made at school. :)


Pictures at the Park!!












Oops!  But SO cute!  It's her Marilyn Monroe moment. :)






Check out that face!!





So, on the way out, EJ made friends with strangers and a very sweet, playful dog...watch for the excitement on her face.  :)


Look - instant pals.



Look at this precious face!

And this one!


Happy Mother's Day for me!!!

Miscellaneous May

Escaped a day of work and got to enjoy a nice day at the stadium!





My kitchen countertops just started falling apart.  :(
Not looking forward to the cost or energy it's going to take to repair it all.
...BUT, on the 'glass is half-full side,' I AM looking forward to a smooth surface  and no more tile!
Hooray for THAT!

A preview of the lil' flower girl for next month's wedding!

A cool chica, eating dinner with Mommy's sunglasses, and ...in undies. :)

Headed to school with a cute outfit and an enormous bow, that she was totally in to wearing that day. 





EJ and "S" hangin' out on an afternoon. 






Fantastic Gymnastics!  
(that's a Dora episode reference, for those who don't have to suffer through the squealing cartoon)
We enrolled EJ in a 6 week gymnastics class, after interest in dancing was waning.  She has been REALLY enjoying it.  This was only week #2, and I'm sure next week's last class, we'll see some fun improvements.  So fun to watch her delightedly prance around the gym floor.  She looks much more natural in the gym than on the dance floor at this point in life. :)




Well, I WAS trying to fold clothes - this is Briggs, for any of you how know this utterly scared  cat...
he's sprawled out all over the clothes!

Had to take EJ to the doc recently and just HAD to take this picture with the following internal thought I had:
WHAT?!?!
