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!

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

Hi Everyone,

It's me, Brynn.

Guess what? Our daddy is home! He was gone for work. We missed him so much!

We're glad he's back!

We spent some time wrestling with him today to welcome him home.

Today we went to our first charity event. It was for doggies, like ours, Reese.

We took her to get her nails cut, and get washed, and she even got her nails painted.

(We were excited cause we LOVE to have our nails painted)

We got to spend lots of time with daddy's cousin Kate this weekend too. She's so nice!

I have 2 teeth now. My favorite food is banana's (but sometimes I eat squash and sweet potato's)

I love to eat big girl food, but I still love my ba ba too.

Love, Brynn

Teeth

Hi,
It's Leah.
I cut my first tooth today...well last night actually.
You wouldn't believe how much it hurts. (and I drool a whole lot!)
Do I really need teeth? Mom and dad say I do, and all kids have teeth, but boy this is no fun.
I was up last night screaming. I'm lucky I have such a great mom and dad. We saw each other a lot last night. (I'm not sure they were as happy to see me as I was to see them!)
We were up at 11, 12:30, 1:30, 2:15 and then I finally fell asleep until about quarter to 6. Maryn, Brynn and I really don't like this whole teething thing. We try to get anything we can in our mouths, but nothing really helps too much.
This morning Brynn bit me with her new bottom tooth. It hurt. I cried.

Love, Leah

Here are some pictures from when we are in a bit of a better mood.
