Day at the Park

Now that the weather is warm we love taking Braelyn to the park! She loves the slide and will go down it time after time. We were catching her at the end since it was a bit fast. Finally she got tired of it and started to explore a few other playground toys and Jake and I sat on the bench for just a second. The next thing we knew she was at the top of the slide with no one there to catch her. Jake and I both looked at each other like Oh No! Before we even moved, Braelyn was already coming down the slide without any hesitation. She flew right off the end and landed in the sand. We weren't sure what her reaction was going to be. She just stood right up, patted her bum and said "Ouch" and continued on playing. We laughed so hard. We love watching her grow and play and learn. This is my favorite stage so far (I think I always say that though, I guess they really are all my favorite at the time). What would we do without this precious little angel in our lives!

Easter

I am a little late posting these Easter pictures, but better late than never right?

Anyways, we had a great Easter this year! We had dinner and an Easter egg hunt at my Aunt's house. It was so fun watching the kids hunt for eggs. Braelyn picked up a few, but soon realized that there was candy inside and it was over from there! I bet she had 20 jellybeans in her mouth at once. The next weekend we were together with even more of the cousins and thought it would be fun for them to have another egg hunt. I have to admit this was mostly my idea, due to our video camera accidentally getting switched off after about 30 seconds of the real Easter egg hunt. All in all the kids loved it both times and who can resist more pictures of Easter dresses!

We couldn't get Braelyn to put the cookies down for the picture.

Cutie Pie Cousins

Braelyn and her cousin Ryleigh are so adorable together. Every time they get to see each other they just squeal and jump around with delight. If I even mention Ryleigh's name, Braelyn is saying shoes, Bye Bye, Ryleigh! This particular day I was watching Ryleigh and the girls ended up in my closet, where the pushed all the shoes off the shoe shelf and sat there eating their raisins. It was the cutest thing ever!
