Pictures of our dedication-August 3, 2008

Here are some pictures of our dedication last Sunday.
We had fun at church. We got to go up on stage and everybody prayed for us.
We're so thankful for everybody's prayers!
Love,
Maryn, Brynn and Leah

A dedication is a special time of public ceremony and personal commitment when parents promise to raise their child in the training and instruction of the Lord with the desire that one day, their child will receive Jesus Christ as personal Savior.

Great Grandpa Burt's 75th Birthday Bash!!!

Great Uncle Steve has a farm....and we went! We celebrated our Great Grandpa's 75 birthday!
Here is a picture of me (Brynn) and my Great Grandpa. He's funny! He makes me laugh!

And on his farm he had some goats....
This is a picture of me and "Ma". (That's the goats name. Her name is "Ma" cause that is the noise she makes----Maaaaaaa! :)

There is another goat named Cinnamon too. She's not as loud as Ma.

And on his farm he had some swings....
We have a little swing inside our house, but these swings were BIG! Auntie Lauren took Maryn on the swings and she laughed and laughed. She laughed so hard she made everbody else laugh too. I think they could hear her from a mile away! She's funny!

Leah liked the swings too!

and she loves her uncle Nick!

It was a great day at the farm! We got to see goats, and a horse...
It was neat. We got to see our whole family!
Happy Birthday Great Grandpa!
Love,
Brynn (and Maryn and Leah)

Vacation

Hi!
Maryn here!
We just got back from our first vacation.
We went to a place called Brainerd.
Mostly, it was fun. But some things were not so fun...like swimming in the lake.



and having to sleep in pack 'n plays.

We did get to go out for pizza though!

and play with our good friend Danielle and our Auntie Lauren!





We learned some new things too, like how to suck our toes. See!

And, yesterday, I said the word "da-da." I could tell mom and dad were excited when I said it.
I don't really know what it means yet, but I am going to keep saying it cause it gets me attention. (especially from dad) I say it all the time now. I'm so smart!

Mimi took lots of pictures of us, so we got to practice modeling.
Strike a pose!









Most of the time though, we just laughed...and laughed...and laughed.
There's nothing better than having sisters to laugh with.
(I think my sisters are so silly!!! Don't you???)

Love,

Maryn

Happy 4th of July!

Got to go and visit our friend Jacob, who lives in L.A.. He was in
town this week!:

Got lots of hugs from mommy:

Spent lots of fun time with daddy:

Spent time out at Lake Minnetonka with lots of mommy and daddy's friends!
(and our friend Jacob!):

Went for a stroller ride to the park:

Had our picture taken for the Eden Prairie Newspaper. We'll see if we are
in the next edition! :)
You wouldn't believe how many people stopped us to say how excited they were to see us! It was so fun!

After all of the fun we had, we actually fell asleep before the fireworks. Darn! We'll catch them next year!

Hope you had a fun holiday!
Love,
Maryn, Brynn and Leah
