Day 258-260 - Random Round-up!

Again, in an effort to catch up on my posts, I'm grouping my last three days of randomness into one post.

Day 258 - Wall of fame - Where Briana hangs her masterpieces.


Day 259 - Moon in the Morning.  I had to go into work pretty early and saw the moon shining bright over our neighborhood :)


Day 260 - Prep work!  Getting ready for a shoot tomorrow and needed to test out the backdrop I made. I think I'm loving it :)




Day 257 - Fantastic Gymnastics!

This was the funniest thing I've seen in a while!  Briana was adamant that she follow along with Dora's fantastic gymnastics routine!  She tried so hard to do everything just like Dora and Justin and I loved each minute of it!







Day 253-256 - Round up!

I'm going to post a few pictures here for the sake of time.  We'll start with some Elvis Duran action - move on to a delicious Easter treat -  follow that with some serious swinging action - and end with a random snow fall...

Day 253 - Elvis Duran and the Martin ladies!  Now I know what you're thinking!  I didn't take this picture which is true, but I'm letting it slide because this is as close to a famous person as I've ever been and I can't resist posting it :)

 
Day 254 - My mouth is watering looking at this beautiful cake my mom made.  Isn't it cute!


Day 255 - Just a swingin' in her Angry Birds hat ;)


Day 256 - Look at these pretty little snow flakes!  Couldn't resist grabbing the camera!


Day 252 - You've Got a Friend

I don't have anything to really say here other than that she loves her Hello Kitty stuffed animal. Love her!


Day 251 - Potty Time...Kinda...

She's starting to show interest in the potty, Yay!  Unfortunately I don't think she's interested in it for the same reason's most people use it. sigh.

Day 250 - Oh Spring, We're Ready!

Today was a really nice day between the snow that came yesterday and the snow in our forecast.  I'm over it, and so is Briana.  We want to go outside and play! So that's what we did.  It was about time the dust get wiped off of the "Cool Playground" as she so sweetly called it ;)

So here she is, climbing like a Champ!


Day 249 - Duped!

I came home to this on the counter! Yummm!  Now, hubs has been quite the chef lately, so I decided that I needed to grab my camera, because it just looked that good!  You know...I like to give props where props are due.  This pizza looked pretty impressive and blog worthy...  



After some questioning about what the sauce was made of, it was released that this was nothing more than a Kirkland (Costo) frozen pizza!! 

Seriously! What the heck!

I have to admit, Costco did a fabulous job, but I was so let down that it wasn't homemade that it kinda ruined the whole experience - ha!

Day 248 - Fairy Princess

Nana was in town for a visit and Briana had to show off her dress-up clothes and magic fairy powers, using her magic wand.  I think she was trying to do a spell that made Mommy go away, so she could play with Nana all by herself ;)


Day 247 - Big-time Fun!

I can't tell you how happy Inflatable Palace makes, Briana.  She just loves it and she smiles the whole time!  I mean, how could you not like a place that lets you do this?!





Day 246 - Looking to the Future

OK well today's picture is cute (and out of focus), but makes me sad all at the same time.  She loves her backpack and it's super sweet that dad's helping her out, but all I see is a little girl headed off to school!  I need time to slooooooow down, please!  Isn't there a pause button somewhere on this kid?



Day 245 - Cheesin'

I got my hair done today and am just so in love with it!!  

Thank you, Alicia!

Here's my cheese face and my new do!



Day 244 - Bath-time Dancing

The title says it all!  Imagine her singing "If you're happy and you know it, wave your hands!"

That's exactly what was happening here.  So sweet, I can't stand it!



Day 241-243 - Adorableness, Oops, & Comeback, King!

Day 241 -  I got to go back and take more pictures for this precious little girl!  She's 6 months old and I just cannot get over these eyes!  Each time I see her, her eyes just blow me away!  How adorable is she!




Day 242 - I forgot again. Oh the shame!

Day 243 - This baby is trying really hard to make a comeback before our vacation. Only one problem...the battery charger has disappeared into thin air.  I hate when that happens :(

Anyone have a charger that may work, lying around? :)

Day 240 - Ladies Day!

Today was the first of many Ladies' Days to come.  Today's location - Plaza Azteca.  The plan was lunch and a movie.  Not sure what happened, but we never made it to the movie! Probably had something to do with this picture. Opps! 



Day 239 - Diet? What diet?

I've been trying really hard to stick with the gym and eat healthier, BUT it's very hard when you have two boxes of these guys sitting in the freezer!!  I told Justin our house wouldn't be safe until they were gone...I was serious!




Day 238 - Cousins!

I got to watch Kaleb for the evening and these two had a blast playing with each other.  I think Briana got a little taste of what a little brother would be like.  She was tackled and chased all evening which was hysterical!  Then when she wanted a break to play with her Hello Kitty game, Kaleb was right there trying to check it out, too.  How cute are they!?



Day 237 - Gametime

I love this little set Briana has, where she can dress up the different kids in all sorts of magnetic outfits.  It's cute and keeps her attention for longer than 5 seconds. I'd definitely recommend this toy as a good gift idea!


Day 236 - Some Supervision Required

So she wanted to help with the laundry a few days ago.  Now she's moved on to supervising the dish washing.  I think Justin got a passing grade, but you'll have to ask the boss ;)


Day 235 - Haircut? Yes, I think so!

Oh Cookie!  You are too cute but looking a little rough, lately!  I think it's time to get those ears lowered ;)


Day 234 - Daddy's Girl

I have no words.  I just love these two so much!


Day 233 - Naptime

I'm loving her big girl bed and how well she's doing with the change!  I can't quite believe how easy the transition has been!

Here's a shot of our snuggle bug being watched, as she naps, by all of her friends!


Day 232 - House

Briana is finally showing some real interest in her dollhouse!  I love watching her talk to the people and move them around the house!  It's so sweet!
