A 2 wheeler already!

When Nanna and Pop bought Brie a 2 wheel bicycle for Christmas we thought it would be about a year before she could actually ride it. When she first received it her feet could barely reach the petals. This weekend she saw it in the basement and wanted to ride it. Grandpa brought it outside and to our surprise her feet reached the petals.

On Saturday we went for a nice long ride to the ice cream store. Brie petaled all the way.

She then waited patiently for her ice cream. The entire time refusing to remove her helmet.

She then devoured her ice cream, refusing to share with anyone.

She then petalled all the way home.

I have a cute video of her riding the bike. As soon as I figure out how to upload it I will post it.

Sisters

Most of the time they seem to like each other. That is when they don't have to share!

Three year pictures

After disappointment the last 2 times we went for pictures at Sears, I decided to take Brie's three year pictures myself. She decided she likes to have her picture taken, but likes cheesy smiles even more. Here are a few of the best shots.

We will try again in a few days to see if we can get some better shots.

Cousins

Family

On Easter we took a nice family photo. It is rare to get everyone smiling and in the same place.

To bad Marcus is wearing sunglasses!

Happy Easter! (A little late)

Easter we spent the day at Nanna and Pop's house. We got up early and headed down to their house. The girls did well on the car ride and watched barney and veggies tales on the way. We arrived just in time for church. Surprisingly they sat during church and were very well behaved, much better then normal in church. We then went back to Nanna and Pops were there was lots of good food and playing with cousins. The girls hunted for Easter eggs, rode the mini atv, bounced, and played with bubbles.

First day of school

Today our big girl started school. This morning she was very excited. She ate a good breakfast and chatted all the way to school. She was excited to "learn my ABCs" and "play with other kids," until we actually got there.

When we got into the classroom, Brie got very quiet. She stayed at my side for a few minutes until it was circle time. She looked a little scared like she was going to cry, but never shed a tear. I walked her over with the other kids and she sat down and they reviewed the month, day and year.

Her teacher told Jenna she did very well. She asked a few times for mommy, but never cried. She colored pictures, played, and even ate a good lunch. When she got home she called mommy at work to tell me about her day and she was very excited to tell me she learned her ABCs. When I asked her if she wanted to go back tomorrow she immediately said "yes"
