Brooklyn's accomplishments

Brooklyn is growing up, and I am not so sure that I like this plan. I enjoy that she is interacting more with me and her sisters, and her dad (that is her favorite), but I miss some of the small baby things that she used to do. Oh well you can't cry over spilled milk, and I am always very proud and excited over each new accomplishment. I would much rather have her making progress than not. I am so blessed with wonderful children.
Brooklyn accually started to learn to roll over at the beginnign of July, but has only become very proficient in rolling back to front and front to back across a room in the past few days. It is amazing how far and fast she can go.

She was not happy to be stuck in the blanket that the girls left out on the floor.

This is her latest trick that she is perfecting. In the past week she has started to sit up by herself and not fall over. She is still a little bit wobbly at times, but for the most part has mastered this skill.

Tea Party

I knew it would happen, I just don't think that I was prepared for it to happen yet. Aby and Kenzie have started to play "dinner" on thier princess table. They will get out all of my pans and cooking utinsels, and cook food. In this picture they had cooked eggs. This day Aby had a friend over (Maddi Ball) and Aby and Kenzie cooked eggs for her to eat. Aby always starts the meals with a prayer. (not a pretend one either) It is so great to see them growing up. Aby has such a strong spirit with her, and is always such an example to me.
Here they are after teh prayer and starting to eat. You can just see Mckenzie in the corner of the picture. Aby is always very nice and lets Kenzie play with her and her friends when they come over.

This picture was taken a different day, but Aby and Kenzie are both still enjoying thier egg feast. I am so glad that they are such good friends.

Friends!

Aby Kenzie and our neighbor Josh were playing dress up the other day, and all of them were having such a fun time. Aby is the mom (queen) and Kenzie is the princess. Josh needed a costume, and so i took out my old graduation robe, and made him the judge. We are so blessed to live next to such wonderful neighbors.

Daddy's little helper

This picture was too cute to pass up. We had been swimming at the Rec Center earlier in the evening, and all of us were very tired. Ryan however, decided that he was going to fix the leaking tap in the tub. (for those of you who wonder, Ryan has had to replace the valves on our hot and cold water taps in the tub several times. This is becuase when we had our soft water softener installed they did it wrong, and we have been dealing with it ever since.) He has gotten really good at doing this over the past few years, and you can see here that the Mckenzie loves to help. Ryan is usually really good natured about explaining what he is doing to the girls, and letting them help give him the tools. My girls love to play with daddy and his tools. (who needs boys my girls can learn to fix things:)
This was too cute just look at her grin. The sad part was after I took this picture she wanted to see it and was so excited that she tripped over the tool chest and bonked her head on the cupboards.
