Memorable moments

Hi all! On Memorial Day (when we remember all those who are sacrificing, or who have sacrificed, so much for the lifestyle that we are all accustomed to) I though it would be fun to share some memorable moments - thanks to the adorable Brenna. We are also sharing some fun pictures from our trip to the mountains this weekend. We loved the beautiful weather and the fun adventures that it brought for Brenna. We got to visit with family and spend some quality time with everyone.

She is making us laugh out loud on a regular basis and we are loving every minute of it! Here are just a few of the fun memories:

• While using her toy camera to take a picture of a small stuffed dog, she says "chee puppy" which means "say cheese puppy".


• While searching for grasshoppers in the backyard or in the woods (where we spent some time this 3-day weekend) - "hopper, weh ah you" which means "grasshopper, where are you".


• Singing some of the lyrics to Akon's "Don't Matter" - mostly "I got you" and dancing/swaying with the music. It is one of her favorite songs


• Playing with all of her dolls - laying them on the floor or table and putting a blanket on top of them followed by a "nigh, nigh bebies".


• Running and playing with "Scrushy" who is also known as "Scruffy" to those of us with fully developed speech.


• Playing outside and crying and whining if we make her come inside - she doesn't even notice that it is 100+ degrees!


• Reading her books on her own (I found her in her room alone one day, sitting in the glider, reading lots of books) - she especially likes the book about the 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed - she reads each page as "no no mony na na bed" which means "no more monkeys jumping on the bed"

She brings so much joy to us and is becoming quite the intelligent little girl. We love to watch how much she learns in short time and can't believe how fast it is going!
