Snowy Spring day...Inside.

Now that the temperatures are getting warmer, Brielle & I spend most days outside. We go for walks, play at the park, blow bubbles & have picnics. We definitely have Spring Fever! But today it snowed!!! Normal for Utah, but it forced us to stay inside. Brielle hates when it is cleaning day. She gets very bored & hates that my attention isn't all on her. So I decided to have her help me make strawberry jam. We both put on aprons & I'd have to say she looks pretty cute in her's. She loved the apron Aunt Heather gave her & doesn't like to take it off. Well I started to wash the berries & put them on the cutting bored & this is what happened next....

Apparently Brielle thought they were all for her to eat! As I cut them up & put them in the bowl, she would yell at me because she thought I was taking them from her. I kept telling her they were for jam, but she didn't want them for jam. After a few she gave up on "helping," but this is what she found next.....
For some reason she is excited to wear one of these...I am not. But I couldn't resist taking her picture in hopes of one day showing it to her boyfriends. He, He, He!!!! Somehow even with her pick of wardrobe, crazy hair, & strawberry stained face, she looks too cute!!! It was all smiles today, even though we had to stay inside. This is what it looked like outside! It was one big rain, hail & snow storm!

Look who's 2!!!!





Today Brielle turns 2! I can hardly believe she is two already! It has been a fun two years so far! She has definitely changed our lives for the better! We are so grateful to have her in our family! Her favorite things right now are ELMO!!!!! Which she wants to watch every moment of the day. It is even the last thing she asks for each night. She also likes to watch the reruns of the show Hee-Haw! We are not sure what she likes so much about it, but we enjoy watching it a little more than Sesame Street! She loves to run & jump & slide on anything she can find. She also loves to dance!! We have nightly dance offs in the living room & she makes sure everyone is dancing! Her favorite songs happen to be "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga & "Tik Tok" by Kesha. Great dancing songs! We are going swimming tonight which is another favorite for Brie! Then we will come home to eat an Elmo cake & ice cream. Saturday we are having a family party which is all sweet themed. There will be a desert buffet of cupcakes, cookies, chocolate covered strawberries & much more! She cannot wait to see her Grandma's & Papa's & cousins!
