Brynna {Our Ballerina}

Over the weekend, Brynna's dance studio had their annual recital. Our ballerina looks forward to this all year!  I love watching her not only because she's so graceful and pretty on stage, but also because I know she is loving every moment of it.  ♥

Ella went with us to the Saturday performance.

Brynna's biggest supporters!

Ella snapped a family photo for us. :)

Notice Brielle's bandaid on her thumb? A softball hit her thumb when she was batting awhile back. She's such a tough girl that she just kept batting, but as soon as I saw it, I knew it was bad.  The entire nail ended up falling off! Thankfully, it's already growing back. 

On Sunday, Addie came to watch her!

Uncle Adam & Aunt Tristen were in town for their baby shower so they were able to catch a performance too!

Beilyn's 2 year Family-versary! {May 4, 2016}

Yesterday, we celebrated 2 years with our Beilyn AnnaKai! She is such a spunky and funny kid! She has changed so much since the day she joined our family. It has been a gift to watch her blossom.

She still seems to have selective hearing, but she is learning to obey.  It's the cutest thing when she says, "sojjy mommy. me obey mommy!"  She is regularly getting into things or doing things she knows she shouldn't and immediately, I get an apology and ackowledgement that she's not obeying! 😄 Now, she even says, "me obey mommy. me obey Jesus!" Oh I just love her little heart.  I have no doubt that He has big plans for her! ♥

Wild and Crazy girl. ♥

Two years together!

She put her "Gotcha outfit" on. As usual, it was quite a task trying to get her to sit still for a photo. :)

Acting like a mermaid.

Bria {5 months}

Bria continues to be such a sweet little thing! I've had a hard baby before so I realize just how spoiled we have been with this sugar baby. She started sitting the week after she turned 4 months and then started rolling back to belly the next day! She is showing lots of interest in what we are eating and drinking but she's still strictly on mommy's milk. ☺ It seems to be working quite well if her squishy thighs are any indication. She loves bouncing in the exersaucer and loves all of the attentions she gets from her big sisters.

It's blurry, but just too cute not to share!
