Grandma Murray

Grandma Murray was able to come out to visit us for the past week. The girls had a lot of fun. They played their hearts out as well as enjoyed some fun outings to Lancaster and also to Longwood Gardens (which I have been dying to take her to since I first went a few years ago.) We are excited for her to come back soon.

Here are the girls at Longwood in front of their favorite bush!! Honeysuckle! (Sunnyhuckle as Bryn calls it)

Kenna really wanted to have a picture with just her dad in front of this waterfall.

A big old tree

Kenna listening to the bee's make honey in this beehive.

At the indoor children's garden.

We went to an Amish farm and house. It was very interesting and the girls had a ton of fun walking around the farm. Omar took us on a buggy ride and let Kenna sit by him and "help" drive the team. By help I mean he let her hold one of the reins.

Bryn was fine in the buggy it wasn't until the end of the ride and we put her up front with Kenna that she was freaked out. I guess that was too close to the horses for her liking.

The Pennsylvania Railroad museum was Bryn's favorite. She was so excited to see a CHOO CHOO! She kept saying it over and over again, "Mom a choo choo see!"

Watching the train get ready to go was the highlight of Bryn's Lancaster trip.

This was Kenna's.

Just cause they are cute!

Here are a few cute photos of the girls from the past few weeks.

Bryn likes to try to dress herself. Sadly she only puts on shirts and will only get dressed in Kenna's clothes. Here she has 3 of Kenna's shirts on.

Of all the things she could have spent her money on at the zoo she chose get her face panted like a Zebra. If your kids ever get their faces painted don't let them pick anything that involves black face paint!

They play very well together.

No more Chocolate

This was Bryn's reaction when Brad told her ENOUGH NO MORE CHOCOLATE TONIGHT!

I must say that I feel about the same way when the chocolate is cut off!

Pigtails

Bryn now has enough hair to do pigtails they are a little dorky but at least she no longer looks neglected. She has significantly more hair then Kenna did . Here are photos of both of them at 20 months in their pigtails.

I should have taught her this months ago

I taught Kenna how to make a Peanut butter and Honey sandwich a few weeks ago. This has changed our lives for the good! If she is hungry she no longer wines at me she just takes care of her problem. Now we just need to work on the Peanut butter/ Honey ratio they turn out a little thick but she likes them.

Cute Kid

Bryn has been making us laugh at every turn these days. She is talking up a storm for a 20 month old. Here are some of the things that she says and the interpretations.

Hanny Manny= Handy Manny her favorite t.v show

Sunbeeb= Sunbeam see video of her singing

Words she says that need no interpretation

Mom, Dad, sandwich (she will bring you the peanut butter), cereal, potty, pity please, Kenna, Julia (the babysitter), Grandma (she will bring my the phone), more, nite nite, Binky, blanket, Jesus, Thank you, and hello, bye, eyes, ears, hairs (she throws an s on the end of it), Finish.

Update From Halloween to Thanksgiving

That just shows you how bad I have been about this. So for Halloween Kenna was a Princess and Bryn was a Pea. It was so fun. Kenna understood the get candy and it didn't take Bryn long at all. The first door we went to she held out her bag got a treat, looked in the bag said WOW! followed by Tank U (thank you). They had fun all week with the ward party, a school party, and of course trick or treating.

Kenna turned 4 this year! It is so crazy! She has been so fun to have. She makes us laugh everyday and is so smart. She is learning to read and loves to sit down with mom to read a book. She is very into Barbies and will play with them for hours. For her birthday she wanted a hula hoop, jewelry box, and a big coloring book. She had a party with her friends and was able to take some treats to school for her birthday. These little things were the highlight of her year. Oh to be four and have your biggest worry be to use a Magenta Crayon or a Fuchsia one to color in your My Little Pony coloring book.

For Thanksgiving we stayed home and had Brad's cousin Jake over for the week

as well as some friends dogs. The girls have loved having the dogs over. Kenna asked if she cried would John still take them home? Thank you Jake for coming to visit Kenna keeps talking about riding on a horse with you when she goes to Idaho. Also Thank You John and Terra for letting us have your dogs for the week. Brad I don't want them to go home either we will watch them anytime.
