Brianna's 3rd Birthday!

Brianna turned 3 on saturday (just so happened to be Father's Day this year)! We had my family down to celebrate and we had a really nice day! Here is a picture of dog man hanging out with Boston:) Brayden and Aunt Allie (didn't have the best pics of Uncle Ryan and Uncle Matt):

Grandma (before she found out she was getting an Ipod touch for her bday) smiling the same as Brayden and Brianna:

Checking out her new princess bike!

Crazy grandpa taking the kids down the slip-n-slide (Uncle Ryan was into it too!):

The day after her birthday we had invited 16 kids (and parents) over for a princess tea party. It went really well - it was really hot outside but the kids didn't seem to care since we had Jasmine's Magic Carpet Ride (the slip-n-slide). We had a bunch of different princess stations (Find Cinderella's Lost Slipper, Sleeping Beauty's Salon (tatoos), Belle's Tea Party (decorate a tea cup), Cheer up Grumpy (with silly string), Ariele's Fishing game)

Here's Brianna saying Thank You to everyone for the gifts:)

Trying to blow out her candles (blowing her hair more than anything else):

We took the kids to the mall to jump on these really fun trampolines - both loved it (Brayden was a little scared - Brianna just wanted to go higher)

Princess Castle Cake (yes there is a cake under all the toys):

Summer...

This year we decided to add a little pondless waterfall to our backyard - Gary has been having fun rearranging the rocks and watching the birds it has attracted... Here are the kids being crazy on the hammock with their daddy.

This last weekend I went to Ft. Wayne to be in an alumni dance to honor our teacher (who started Northeast School of Dance) Beth Schiebel. It was so much fun to see old friends and be back on stage with everyone! (Left to right - me, Heather (Lefavour) Eddy, Melissa Brown, Jennifer Nicholas, Danielle Irons.

Last night we went to Chic-Fil-A family night - Brayden became a tiger and Brianna became a princess.

Celebrating Grace's 6th bday and more...

Last sunday we went up to Zionsville to celebrate Grace's 6th birthday with the family! Both of our kids were fighting over who got to sit next to Grace;) Here's a picture of Brianna after her brownie! She's showing us some leg!!! Brayden and Grace - cuties!

A non-related day - Brianna showing off the jewelry she got from one of my friends from work... The look on her face does not show how excited she was about it!

Here's the solution: one child on each side of Grace - true happiness for everyone!

Sam and Chris - now if we could have got him to smile...

Here's a video of Brianna dancing in her newest princess dress - the dress is playing the music!
