May brought lots of fun in our house, including a great Mother's Day weekend with my mom, Aunt and Matt's parents. We also had Brinley's dance recital which was a riot (what a ham!) as well as started on the crazy, chaos of construction to our house.
 |
| Brinley asked mommy to take her teddy into work one day, she loved that I sent her pictures! |
 |
| Her reaction to the teddy picture |
 |
| Teddy had a carrot for lunch and so did Brinley! |
 |
| Taking "before" pics of our house stuff. Brinley wanted to be in one of them :) |
 |
| Drawing a picture at school. I love how all her people look like "minions" these days :) |
 |
| We also decided to take B to a Twins game one Saturday and had a great time! |
 |
| Love Target field! |
 |
| We promised her cotton candy and her and mommy ate the whole bag! |
 |
| Not sure why she likes taking pics with the mannequins these days, but it's been her thing lately |
 |
| Posing before her dance recital. I was really nervous for her but she did great! |
 |
| She was being a bug after the dance recital though (mommy and daddy should have prioritized a nap that day!) so we didn't get any good pics with anyone. |
 |
| We did get some nice pics after Mother's day brunch the next day though. Brinley was being a nut! |
 |
| Love this one. My crazy family! |
 |
| Cleaning out the playroom in preparation for the painter. B decided to cover herself in decals. Silly girl! |
 |
| That pose! |
 |
| The start! |
 |
| I also had the brilliant idea of trying to remove some popcorn ceilings throughout the craziness of construction. Not my brightest idea but we did manage to get two of them down and the smooth ceilings look great! |
 |
| Sleeping princess :) |
 |
| After I tried to paint said ceiling. I am a construction wrecking ball, lol! |
 |
| I hate even looking at this picture but want to capture it for posterity. The dreaded choosing of the white paint color, lol! |
 |
| While Daddy was in DC helping Dana, Mommy and B escaped to a water part to get out of the construction zone of our house. We had an amazing time. This girl sure does love the water! |
 |
| Silly faces with Mommy |
 |
| Swimming by herself! |
 |
| I came across this on FB and had to save it. Such a good reminder for the tough days with little ones. They will be gone so so fast and I'm trying desperately to enjoy them as much as I can, even through the "hard." |
 |
| Color transformation underway! |
 |
| A "nest" hairstyle on mama, courtesy of little B :) |
 |
| This girl loves cold hot dogs! Ew!!! |
 |
| Family naps are the best :) |
 |
| First full french braid! She loved how wavy it made her hair afterwards. |
 |
| Some of the professional recital pics. It was so cute watching her up there! Proud mommy and daddy :) |
 |
| Sleeping and snuggles. The best thing ever! |
 |
| My favorite dance pic of hers! This was her signature move and she did it perfectly! I hope you always keep dancing, little one! |
