birthday parties......

Brenna turned 4 on January 10th.

We had a birthday party the Sunday before her birthday with my side of the family since my mom was going to CT to be with Linds.
Brenna wanted a Batman themed birthday party, which was easy!

Lorena made her cake. Brenna loved it! And it was super tasty.

All the kids got masks and a Batman bracelet

Even Uncle Brett got in on the action :)

Sweet baby girl

Brenna woke up on her birthday with balloons all over her bedroom floor and a poster made (and signed) by mommy and daddy. I remember growing up, we always had a poster for our birthdays. And she got to go to school and bring treats. She wanted red cupcakes. So I made red velvet cupcakes with red frosting. That's why her lips are red, cause that's what she had for breakfast :)

That night we had the Wentworth's and the Zumwalt's over for cake and ice cream. Again, Batman themed :)

We're so grateful to have family and friends who love Brenna as much as we do. Thanks everyone for coming and making her birthday the best! We love you.

Happy Birthday Brenna. 4 years ago you changed mommy and daddy's life forever. And now we can't imagine it without you.
Love you kid!

my baby at 6 months.....

Maya is now 6 months.This girl is so smiley and happy! She is doing some fun things these days:

-She can now sit up by herself.
-Started on solids a month ago and she's doing great. Except for the constipation, that's not so great.
-She loves to eat rice cereal, bananas, pears, peaches, and applesauce. She's even been eating prunes mixed with her cereal and she loves it!
-She has eaten some carrots and peas. These she did not love as much as the fruit.
-Does not like to take medicine.
-Has herself a tooth.
-Loves Brenna! Brenna is the only one that can get her to laugh really hard.
-Can play peek-a-boo
-Was sleeping through the night until the tooth and the constipation hit. Now she's waking up at least once every night.
-Still pretty bald compared to what Brenna had.
-She gets frustrated at times, and starts swinging her little arms and hands around. SO cute.

Oh, how I love this little girl. And this is such a fun stage. She is showing her personality and we just love her. Now here are some pics that my amazing and talented sister in law did for me.

I love every single one of these.

Love you Mymy!

sunbeam.....

Brenna is finally a sunbeam this year. She missed the deadline by 10 days last year, therefore being the tallest kid in her class this year.
I asked what she learned in her class and she replied " I don't know."

Going to be an awesome year :) Love you kid!
