I'll take the blame for that one

We love Roxy (our dog), but sometimes her barking is annoying. The other day Roxy barked and Brinley pointed her finger at Roxy and yelled “SHUT UP!” Oops! That is completely my fault. We are really nice to each other at our house, but apparently we aren’t always so nice to the dog. I always tell Roxy to shut up when she’s barking and obviously Brinley picked up on that.

I just ignored it, thinking that if I didn’t make a big deal out of it she wouldn’t say it again, but I did tell my family about it.

A few days later I went to pick up Brinley at my sister’s house and walked it to both of them trying to get her to say “shut up” Hummm.. thanks guys for being such a good example!

Shhhhhh, Don't tell Daddy

I am always begging Dustin to let me cut his hair. He always tells me no because I have no idea what I'm doing. So I told him I wanted to cut Brinley's hair and again he told me no. I just wasn't a fan of the mullet so we cut it while Dad was at work. AND... he still hasn't noticed. Before

After

If you can't eat it, drink it.

The Fun Park

We took Brinley bowling at the fun park and let her play. I swear we did her hair
It looks like Dad had fun too.

I'm not sure if it was a good idea to let her ride the quarter rides. I'm afraid she's going to want to ride them every time we see them now.

We are suckers for babies

We absolutely love being parents and often talk about having more babies. Both of us think it would be cool to have a boy next so... I went to makemebabies.com to see what our future bundle of joy is going to look like.Seriously??? How did they come up with that? I guess I could learn to love him. HA HA.

Halloween

Don't you think costumes are hard? I felt like my options were to A) Buy the same Old Navy costume that every other little kid has B) Buy the cheap thin crappy costumes that aren't even that cute or C) make one. I chose option C. I was a little nervous that Brinley would have to wear something that I made, but honestly I knew she would look cute in anything. And I was right. She made a cute little witch. She wouldn't hold still long enough to let me take her picture so this is the best I could do.
