spring.......

A few weeks ago I told Brooke that we could go and look for a new dress for church. She was so excited to pick out her own Easter dress. Of course Mya wanted the same dress as her big sister. Brooke and Mya wanted to wear the dresses all week long. Every morning Brooke asked if it was Sunday so that she could wear her new dress.

Mya actually sat down for three seconds and said "cheese".
Brooke is in love with her new blue purse that grandma/grandpa drussel bought her. She carried the bag with her to church b/c it matched her new dress. We all know that she does not get that from me. Brooke has more of her Aunt whit-e in her. Especially when she wore her pink high heel princess shoes with her dress to church.
Jon's dad is working in PA for two weeks so he drove up over the weekend to see the girls. We went out to dinner saturday night to the cheesecake factory and then he came to church with us on sunday. It is fun for the girls to see him. thanks for driving up grandpa!
Mya outside on st. Patrick's day. She would not let go of the neighbor's chalk box. She looks so cute and innocent in this picture.

Winter

We have not been up to much this winter. Whitney left for her mission the end of January. That was a dramatic time for me in my life. It is hard to go from talking to her every day to not talking to her at all. But life does not revolve around me......

The kids loved to play in the snow. We got a couple of big storms in February so we spent most of our days playing in the snow.
Brooke loves to wear her bathing suit and one day she found the swimming tubes for the pool. She really wanted to use them, so I told her to put them in the tub. They had the best time "swimming" in the tub.
Brooke insisted on pulling Mya around outside.
I love this picture of the two. They were actually somewhat cooperative. They are in a fun stage of life where they love to play together and make each other laugh
