The Top Ten Things I Wish I Could Say!

I actually got this idea from a friend of a friends blog. She has 5 children and posts a "Top Ten" every week. With 5 children, I can only imagine all the material she gets through-out the week. After I saw her posts, I realized that I had a few Top Tens myself. So, here's my "Top Ten Things I Wish I Could Say!" Hope you get a laugh!

Summer Is Here! Time for the Pool!

A friend invited us to join them at the pool this morning so the girls could have some fun in the sun. Brenna, Avery, and Emma didn't waste any time getting wet! We had some great weather, not too hot yet, and we all had a great time! We packed a lunch and all had a pool-side picnic at the end of a couple of hours of swimming.
I'm sure this is just the first of many trips to the pool. Brenna enjoyed the water last year, but this year she's way more active. I have a feeling the kiddie slides at our neighborhood pool are gonna have tread marks in the shape of Brenna's bottom by the time she's done this summer.

I'm Painting My Toe Nails!

So, as I was cooking dinner yesterday, I eventually noticed things were quiet, which usually isn't a good sign. I lean over the kitchen counter and shout into the living room "Brenna, what are you doing?" Her response, "I'm painting my toe nails!" and indeed she was! Mawmaw sent her a Dinsey Princess dry erase board that we've been using to learn words. I left it on the coffee table from our last learning session, when Brenna decided to put it to other uses. She took the dry erase marker and "painted" all her finger nails and toe nails. When I told her "Oh no, Brenna you made a mess." she said "I'll erase it!"

Brenna's 1st Gymnastics Recital

Last night was Brenna's 1st gymnastics recital. She had a great time, even more fun that regular classes. It's amazing how far she's come in just 8 short months. She really is a natural and enjoys it so much.

The recital was alittle different than most. The recital had a jungle theme and was titled "Westwood Goes Wild". They set the kids up in groups of five. We rotated to each apparatus, spending about 10 - 15 minutes at each spot as they performed the circuit associate with that apparatus.

Bubbles Now and Bubbles Then!

We spent a beautiful day outside yesterday enjoying the warm weather and cool breeze. So what better way to enjoy it than with bubbles. Brenna got a brand new bubble gun as a "Happy" for being so brave during all the doctor visits, so we broke it in.

We Love American Idol!

Brenna's loves American Idol, which isn't a surprise considering how much she enjoys music and dancing. So every Tuesday night she puts on a show with the American Idol contestants. Kasey is her favorite. She thinks he's pretty! I guess its already begun......
