Brittyn Gray...The Lost sessions...

Grandma Jamie loves to take pictures of the girls...She tole me when Ryan was born that I should take pictures of her every day because she would change so much...Boy was she right I wish I had been doing that...I also wish Grandma J would take more pictures of my girls because she does a great job and I ove having them as such good memories...Brittyn's photo sessions have been just as awesome as Ryan's are...Grandma took some pictures a while back, probably November or December and I have been procrastinating about posting them...Just so precious, I couldn't wait any longer!!! I realize some of them are the same, but it doesn't make them any less fabulous!!!

Happy Birthday Uncle "A"

Another year, another one of Adam's birthdays...gotta love me some Adam...he is truly one of a kind and he turned thirty this month...we went to the Longfellow's house on Sunday for Adam's birthday dinner and it was totally an "Adam" kinda party...bottled root beer in galvanized tubs, pulled pork sandwiches and cheesecake for dessert...can't beat it...While I'm not posting any pictures of Adam, the party was great...he got just what he asked for, a Walmart gift card from Joe and I...he really did ask for that and didn't try at all to be discreet...totally Adam...Grandma Jamie attempted to take some pictures of Amelia, Lauren and Ryan by giving them princess crowns to wear...she did her best, I'll give her that much...

Christmas 2010

I know Christmas is over and I didn't get a ton of pictures, but here's what I did get...We started the morning at our house for the girls (well really just Ryan) to open presents...Kylia and BB joined us and watcher Ryan open her gifts and watched me help...Joe made everyone breakfast and we cleaned up...and when I say "cleaned up" I mean it...Ryan got a baby doll and stroller, kitchen cupcakes and toys and Dora the Explorer stuff of course...Brittyn got mostly clothes this year...next year she'll be ready for the big leagues and maybe we can find something other than onesies for her...After gifts and cleaning up somewhat, we got ready and went to Hosford for lunch at Uncle Joe's...we came home for a while then put on stretchy pants to go to the Longfellow's house for Christmas over there...The pictures are from Grandma Jamie's attempt to get the girls to pose in front of the kid's Christmas tree...you can see for yourself how well 2 year old girls cooperate for the camera...there are also a few pictures of Joe teaching the kids to shoot a bow and arrow that he helped the webelo scouts make at Church...Merry Christmas!!!

She can talk!!!

Ok, so she can't actually talk...it would be kinda creepy to hear my three month old baby use a word, especially when her 2 1/2 year old sister says things I can not always understand...anyway, I think whatever Brittyn babbled out and whatever Ryan says is fascinating...and Ryan lets me know quite often...now its Brittyn's turn to have her say!!!

She smiles...

I had been trying all December to get Brittyn to smile for the camera...She is such a happy baby and will smile for anyone at anytime but when I try to get her to smile for me on camera, she plays "diva" and doesn't wanna smile...Brittyn also likes to try and put her whole fist in her mouth, its another thing that makes her smile...so I tried getting her to smile using her favorite thing, her fist!!!...Ryan was "decorating" the Christmas tree and makes a couple cameos in showing me how great the tree is...She sure loved the Christmas tree this year, I couldn't get her to stop "decorating" the tree, even when I tried to threaten her...I'm so glad she loved Christmas this year, can't wait for the next bazillion holidays!!!

She coos...

Yes, I've been a bad blogger...I would make it a resolution to be better but then I may actually have to try and follow through with it...and, when I didn't follow through with it like I want to I will have failed in keeping my resolution...so, in the spirit of the new year, I will just say that I'm going to start anew...enough said...

So, these next few videos were shot WAY BACK in December...obviously Brittyn has progressed since then but they are still cute and it counts as a post so there!!!

This particular video is just of Brittyn, she was wearing her FSU onesie that Joe had bought her...She was cute but it was gray and not very "girly" and I thought she looked like a boy so I stuck a bow on her head...Britt has so much hair and its just great but we haven't quite figured out a style for her yet...stay tuned for more!
