Planes and Dedication

Brad and Laci have been doing a lot together lately, so Brad and Megan had a special day Saturday. Brad got the opportunity (thanks to great friends) to fly to Fayetteville for the day and he took Megan with him!! It was her first plane ride and they had a blast!! She was nervous talking a mile a minute. Once she got in the air, however, she was wondering why the plane stopped moving because it was so smooth! It was a great day and she felt pretty special!

Also, this past Sunday was baby dedication. Baby Dedication had become quite the "show" at our church and a couple of year ago they decided to make some changes and make it more intimate, special and assure that the parents realized why and what the baby dedication meant. It was AWESOME! A few weeks ago we had a dinner with all the new parents that participated and talked about being Godly parents, Godly spouses and really making that commitment to "Train up our children" according to God's word. Then, Sunday afternoon, in front of a small group of family/friends and anyone that wanted to attend, we made that public statement and commitment of giving our children back to God. It was a very special time and I love the new way they do dedication! It really keeps, "the main thing, the main thing."

It was also nice that is was so "intimate" because just before Laurie stepped to the microphone to begin, Brynn decided to fill her diaper...twice. So, I looked at Laurie and said just a second, please!!!! We changed her diaper and then, got started!!!

Red Velvet and Laughter

Megan, Brynn and myself made my new favorite recipe the other day. Red Velvet Cupcakes...from scratch. Recipe from Paula Deen. They are fairly easy to make and the girls love doing things together.

I haven't been cooking as much lately because I am on a "diet." And, I don't like to cook and feel like I can't eat it so I have been working on some healthy dinners and things and it's worked out great! Lots of good recipes and ideas I have come up with that are healthy and Brad and the girls like as well!

Meg and Brynnie hanging with all the ingredients.

This is the base for the icing!!! THE ICING!! Not even what goes in the cupcakes themselves!

The Product!!

I have finally downloaded some of the videos from my phone.

Brynn has become quite vocal and we are loving getting to know her personality.

Talent Show 2011

The talent show at Laci's school was this past Tuesday night. It is Laci's second year in the show and she had a great time again! This year their group doubled in size and did a very cute dance to "Stuck Like Glue." They were once again, precious!

We took some pictures at their last practice.

Sweet Memories

These are some of the pictures I took on Dress Rehearsal night.

Sassy Britches!

We were surprised again yesterday when we got the local paper and Laci was on the cover. Last year her whole group was on the front page and this year she was on the front doing a backbend. It must be the tutu's they wear!!

Brynn - 3 Months

Brynn Bradley is now 3 months old. She is just as sweet as ever and growing way to fast!

Brynnie smiles with her whole face!!!

She LOVES Megan. Just like the rest of us, we all think Meg is hillarious. She has started laughing and it is precious!

Not sure about all of her stats, but she is still a tiny little thing. She is long (wonder why). Her eyes are definitely blue (again, wonder why) Her hair is still so dark and I hope it stays!!

Knowing she is my last baby and that the time is going fast, I hold her all the time and talk to her daily. She loves it! But, I am spoiling her rotten and I really don't care!!!

It was harder to get pictures this month because she has found her feet!

She is a joy and we are loving her to death!! Next month is baby dedication at our church and we are looking forward to celebrating her and the other babies!!

Quick Little Catch-up

Here are some pics to get me caught up. My pictures have not been downloading correctly, so I am a little behind.

A couple of weeks ago, Mom, Sarah, Meg, Brynn and myself made a shopping trip to Conway. We had a great time and ate at ZaZa's. It was so good and so much bigger and more comfortable than the one in Little Rock.

It was a beautiful day!

Sweet Baby

Brad took Laci and Megan to Oaklawn to watch the horses. They got there early and had a picnic and it was perfect weather. They had so much fun.

On Valentine's Day we went to Laci's party at school and then left early and had some time to kill so we headed to the park. Again, another beautiful day!

We have loved the warmer weather and hope it stays!!!!! We are looking forward to Spring Break because we are planning a little family road trip (the first as a famiy of 5).

Tomorrow: Brynn's 3 month post...is it that time already!

What would I do without my phone!!!

I have way too many pictures on my phone. It just seems to be the easiest thing to grab when Brynn smiles or is being precious! It's always closer than my camera. Here are some of favorites!!!

Ruffle Bootie!!!!!

Ready for snow!!!...which is coming way too often!!!!!!

Laid back!

Smiling all the time!

This is the overalls my mom bought for Laci when she was born. Megan wore them and now Brynn is wearing them!!! I am going to try to find an picture of each girl wearing them and then compare!

One of my favs. She keeps putting her fist up to her mouth and I think she is sucking her thumb. But, I look closer and her thumb is tucked in. She is just sucking on her hand...
