And of course the bouncy house...another favorite!
Along with the celebration of her big sisters birthday, that week Brielle turned 12 weeks old. This meant that Mommy had to go back to work and Brielle had her first day of daycare. She didn't seem to mind as we got her ready for the day as she was smiling and giggling away in her carseat right before we left :) She has been in daycare for a week and a half now and has been getting used to it there as she is napping and eating better than she did the first few days and the teachers say she is happy and tells them lots of stories throughout the day.
Daddy's girls...
Mommy and her sweeties...
Ashlyn was so excited and proud to have her little sister come to daycare with her. Her teachers said she talked about her sister being in the baby room all day long!
We have had a busy month of August already and we started out by celebrating Ashlyns 3rd birthday! She was very excited for her birthday this year and knew that she was going to turn "three on August three!" It is crazy to think that our first baby girl is three already and has grown into a little lady. She literally amazes us every day with the things she says and does. We love you Ashlyn!!!
Excited to get lots of barbie and accessories...she loves them!
Dora cupcakes of course for the birthday celebration at home with friends!
A new "big girl bike" from Dad and Mom. I think the other kids at the party were more excited than Ashlyn. She wasn't so sure about her new bike...hopefully she will gets lots of use out of it next summer.
Ashlyn had lots of fun opening her gifts from other as well as opening multiple gifts she wrapped herself that morning. They were Brielle's baby toys we had already at the house...she sure is something :)
Brielle was baptised this past weekend. We were joined to celebrate by our wonderful family! Uncle Derrick and Aunt Kayla were sponsors.
Our littlest girl is 8 weeks old today. She has been smiling and talking/cooing a ton lately and is developing her own little routine, which is nice. She is sleeping pretty well and is waking up just once or twice a night to eat, which gives us 4-7 straight hours of sleep depending on the night! She is growing up way too fast already and only 1 short month and mommy will have to go back to work :( We are going to enjoy July though and spend time outdoors and visiting with family and friends!
The kids loved playing in the water over the beautiful 4th of July weekend up north in Phillips!
Ashlyn loved the water...she would have stayed in there all day if we would let her.
Brielle was a bit exhausted with all the fun activity and people so she enjoyed a long nap on the couch!
Ashlyn and Izzy enjoying a few hours at the beach!
