So cute!

So the other night, Benson, Grace, and I were watching a show on Food Network, our new favorite channel. Suddenly I became aware that Sabrina was not with us and was singing very loudly from somewhere. So I pulled out the camera and this is what I found.

She makes up songs like this and entertains herself all the time. I love her little voice (minus when she screams bloody murder!). So I decided to ask her some questions.

Just so you know, when I asked her who she loves most, I was pointing at myself. Little stinker likes to tease me.

Sabrina is such a sweet girl. Lately she will just out of the blue tell me that she loves me and give me kisses. Today during church she hugged me and then told me that I have such beautiful hair. I love my Breeny baby!

Seuss is on the Loose

On Monday night our local library had a party to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday. They had 3 guest readers come read a Dr. Seuss book. The favorite was definitely "Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You?" The lady who read it was hilarious and the kids got so into it. Then they had several different activites. You could go fishing at the "one fish, two fish" station, make Dr. Seuss hats, see how many apple bean bags you could balance on your head at the "ten apples up on top" station, and my personal favorite, you could jump up and down on a small square of bubble wrap at the "hop on pop" station. They also had an awesome cake that looked like a Dr. Seuss book with a huge Dr. Seuss (red and white striped) hat in the middle of it, which was also very delicious. It was lots of fun and I wish I had brought my camera.

If your pajamas are too big...

you just might look like this when you wake up in the morning.




Sabrina insists on wearing these Christmas pajamas that are still a size too big for her. They are actually a little large on Grace. Usually it's just her legs that are not in the right spot in the morning, but this particular morning one of her arms was in the wrong arm hole and the other wasn't in a hole. She must have had a rough night!

Daddy Daughter Dance

Last Saturday our stake hosted their annual Daddy Daughter Dance. The girls were so excited to go, they talked about it all week. Mike was also really looking forward to it, which I think is really cute. On Saturday morning I painted Grace and Sabrina's fingernails and toenails, which they loved. It's amazing how still they can be when they want something done.


They had a great time at the dance. According to Mike, Grace was being a little diva-ish (only wanted to do what SHE wanted to do) so thank goodness Breeny was willing to go along with whatever. The stake really does a great job with the activity. They have the dance of course but then they also have a room where they can color, a room with toys for the younger girls, a room where you could make a bead necklace, and on the stage they had hula hoops. Grace tried hula hooping for the first time and apparently is really good at it. They had lots of fun and then they met up with Benson and I at Braum's afterwards for some ice cream.


Benson was excited to do something fun with just Mommy. We decided to go see Bolt at the dollar theatre. He really likes that movie!


It was a fun night for everyone, we appreciate these wonderful opportunities that we are given to create some great family memories!

Prima Ballerina (in training)

Grace's reward/bribe for potty training was the opportunity to take a ballet class. Today was the first day of her class. I think she definitely looked the part.


Fortunately there are several other little girls in our ward who are close to Grace's age in the class with her. Her favorite parts were the ballet butterfly, playing with the stick horse, and the sticker she got at the end of class!
