Girlie Trip!

This last weekend me and some friends went on a fun trip to Dallas. My Aunt Gemie was awesome and let us stay at her house, even though there was seven of us plus kids. She was so sweet and watched the kids for us while we shopped. We stayed up late talking and eating junk food, and shopped lots during the day. We found an awesome outlet mall, and JQ's favorite, a three story Nordstroms. We were really excited to go to IKEA too, but we never made it there. No one got swine flu, that we know of yet, and our Husbands got to play lots of Star Craft (they were really excited about that). It was so much fun. Thanks Girls for going, I had a blast. And a HUGE thanks to Aunt Gemie for letting us stay at your house, you are so sweet.

Ady and Drew fought a lot on this trip, they love each other,
but they sure can't share with each other.


The Brinkers

Brinkley is growing so fast! I can't believe she is almost already 7 months old. At her 6 month check-up she was in the 75th percentile for height and 25th percentile for weight. Talk about being completely opposite of Ady. Their faces do look a lot alike though. She is so much fun. She is also still very attached to me; won't let me out of her sight without crying. Her first tooth just broke through a few days ago. And she still isn't eating solids very well, but she loves orange juice! She and Ady are now sharing a room and doing really well with it. Brinkley falls asleep pretty fast even though Ady is sometimes awake for an hour or more talking or singing or banging on the walls. I love having them both in there together finally, and am so glad that it's working out. I love having girls, they are so fun. Here are some cute pictures of her and some of Ady too...

They both love their tubbies, even though
Ady doesn't share the toys very well

This is how much she loves solids

Hooray for underpants...

So Ady has been potty training the last couple weeks, and it's going pretty well. She likes that she can go "poo-poo and pee-pee in the potty just like Elmo." Anyway, the other day, while I was visiting teaching, she had to go potty. So we went in and she was sitting on the potty, and she fell in. I tried so hard not to laugh, but I couldn't help it. It only made it funnier that she was kind of upset. She saw me laughing and said in a really sad voice, "It's not funny." I busted up. It was so awesome. In the end she was laughing too, so she wasn't to hurt about the whole thing. Now if she falls in she just laughs.


She is such a big girl!
