"alyse abida"

another funny b story.


so we're driving in the car to go to hobby lobby (one of my favorite places...hint, hint) after i got braidyn from school the other day. the radio was off and we were talking about her day at school - which we do every day after school - and when we were done talking there was a bit of silence in the car. all of a sudden i hear from the back seat...

"alyse abida!" (a-leese, a-bee-da!) and then just more silence. nothing else. just "alyse abida" like it was a friends name or something.

i couldn't help but hold back the tears i was laughing so hard and then i said...

"honey, it's FELIZE NAVIDAD!"

and then we started singing the song...singing "alyse abida" of course.

i love you inzimmerating...

i was setting up a movie for braidyn (so i could make dinner of course) and she was just talking to me and i wasn't listening to her at all because i was just sitting there thinking of how much i love that little girl. so i decided to tell her and this was our conversation:

me: "b, do you know how much i love you?" as i grabbed her and pulled her into my lap

me again: "i love you....." as i was thinking of saying infinity, this is what braidyn said...

b: "you love me inzimmerating!"

me: "yes, baby, mommy loves you INFINITY!"

b: "yeah, you love me infinity!" as if that's what she said the first time."

yes, i love my braidyn inzimmerating...and infinity!

another talker in the family

i guess i should have combed her hair or something for her big debut. sorry about that, but she's still a cute performer!

just a sneak peak from my amazing photographer sister-in-law. view her incredible portfolio here.

b got another haircut!

i have a new hairdresser that i LOVE and i took braidyn to get a trim the other day. she straightened it so b could have long hair, which she's always dreamed of...and her dream is slowly coming true!
thanks nicole, you're the best!!

daddy got a booboo...

and b thought it was necessary to put a dora bandaid on it...

braidyn is an indian!

b's pre-k class had a thanksgiving play last week and braidyn was an indian. she had one line in the play (see next post) and she did great! she was definitely the cutest little indian i've ever seen! here are a few pics from that day...


her little friend stephanie, who was a pilgrim...

her friend zoe, who was the indian princess...

most of our family was able to come support braidyn and see the play. thanks for coming!! here's a pic of b and cousin aislyn...
here's a picture of the whole indian tribe...
and the whole pre-k class...

see if you can find her in the video. she was on the right, barely seeable, but surprisingly she's NOT the smallest one in her class...ok, the second smallest, but still not the smallest :)

her line in the play was "mmm...this pilgrim food is yummy!" but she had to say it twice because the priest forgot to pray! in this video, the priest finally started to pray and b got to say her line again. then she gets to dance. see if you can find her because i barely could! sorry about the shaky video, we were in the back and i had to zoom so every move i made was exaggerated. i hope i don't make you sick :)
