Dallas Arboretum

Brinlee had the day off of preschool, so we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather and go to the Dallas Arboretum. Dallas blooms ends Sunday and they had so many beautiful tulips. It was fun to spend the day with my sweet little girl. She is so much fun to be with, and is growing up way to fast. I am so thankful to be her mommy and to have her in my life. She brightens my day, and I love her so much!

Brinlee had some birthday money to spend and I have been wanting to take her to the American Doll store, so we went yesterday. She absolutely loved it and of course wanted me to buy everything. I am so happy that she loves dolls, because I love them, and it is a nice break from dinosaurs! I let her play with all the baby things in the store and we bought the ity bity baby doll that she just loves. She named her baby Ali.

She also loves her pink cowgirl boots that Grammy Roney sent her! She is the cutest little girl ever!! I love her so much and I am so thankful to be her mommy!!

Brinlee turns 3!!

Today is such a bitter sweet day for me. I really don't want my "baby" to grow up! Brinlee is such a special blessing to our family. I feel my savior's love for me everyday through Brinlee. I am so proud to be her mom and to call her my daughter. She is so beautiful, smart, sweet, devilish, and funny! She amazes me everyday at how grown up she is. Tonight as I was putting her to bed she was telling me a story about a princess and how T-Rex was chasing her, but she could run so fast and he could not get her. She was going on and on when I told her it was time to say her prayers she said "wait I am telling you a story" how dare I not listen and interrupt her. Silly Mom!! I love her imagination and find it hard to believe that she is only 3! We had a fun party yesterday for her with our friends. Thanks to everyone who came to help us celebrate this sweet girl's birthday!!

Happy Birthday Alex

This is what I found him doing this morning with Brinlee... he is such a good big brother! They both love movies. We really enjoy having him live with us. It is fun to have him here with us on his birthday!!

Santa

Brinlee with Santa at our ward Christmas party. She would not talk to him and was being so shy.
I just loved this picture with her sweet face and beautiful ringlet's
Brinlee likes to pose and have me take her picture...I am not sure what she was doing with her mouth, but she did it with every picture that day.
Yes it does Snow in Texas!

Fall Leaves

Here is a fun picture of Brinlee enjoying the fun fall leaves.

Halloween Spooktacular

They were all dressed so cute!
Train Ride
Cutest Minnie Mouse Ever!

Yesterday our association hosted a Halloween Spooktacular event for the kids. Brinlee and I went with our good friends Staci, Ryan and Sydney. It was a perfect night and the kids had so much fun. They got to trick or treat, so in the petting zoo, jump in the bounce houses and ride the train. This year is so much fun with because Brinlee gets so excited about everything. I just love to be with her and watch her learn and grow!
