Sisters

These two cuties are the best of friends.  Well, as much as you can be when you are one and four.  I can only imagine the fun they will have once Brylen gets bigger.

They enjoy watching movies together.  

Doing chores together. (Brylen is such the helper...)

And they both love their daddy more than anything!  Yep.  We've got two Daddy's girls on our hands.  (I don't mind one bit.:)

Miss independent

This little missy has got some serious attitude sometimes.  We finally figured out that she seems to eat better when she is in charge.  She may get pretty messy, but at least she is content.

Here she is eating cereal by herself for the first time.

Yogurt sure tastes good!

We sure love our little miss independent!

New hair cut

Alayna has been practically begging me to get her hair cut short like her cousin Ashlyn.  For the first little while I didn't think she really wanted it cut.  But after about a month of her persistently asking, I finally gave in.  

Here's the before.

And the after.  

And a "funny" face just for good measure.

She was SO excited to get it cut and she looked at herself in the mirror about a bajillion times after.  I kid you not.  At the salon, she kept walking over to the mirror while Brylen and I were getting our hair cut and checking herself out.  

She still kept starring at herself in the mirror days after.  One time she came walking out of the bathroom a few days after she got her hair cut and I said, "Remember to wash your hands."  And she said, "I didn't go to the bathroom.  I was just looking at my hair in the mirror."

Silly girl.  

Vegas Zoo

While we were in Vegas we went to their small zoo.  And I mean small.  But the price was not bad and the kids still has a great time!  

You can even feed the ostriches.  

Dan braved it and fed them.

Brylen pretty much hung out with Trevon the whole time.  He was SO cute with her.  I think Brylen was getting a little tired by the end though.  What do you think?

Alayna was happy to oblige with some posed shots.  

Her and Paxton.  They were two peas in a pod.  So glad they got to hang out for a few days!

Vegas

As mentioned in a previous post, we spent a little time in Vegas at the end of March with Dan's family.

The girls did surprisingly well in the car for the 8+ hour drive.  It definitely was a nice surprise when we stopped in Scipio and there was a little petting zoo.  Llamas, Zebra, and all.  Alayna was so excited.  (She demanded we stop there on the way home as well.)

Happy to be out of the car.

Cute baby.  Enjoying the fresh air.

Get a load of those horns.

Here's Brylen taking a little break to drive the car in her jammies.  

As usual, I did a terrible job of picture taking while in Vegas.  It seems the wax museum was one of the few times I pulled out my camera.  But suffice it to say, we had a fabulous time in Vegas.  It was a much needed family vacation!

Now, a few pics from the wax museum.

While in Vegas, the kids decorated eggs, swam in the pool, played, played and um....played some more.  There is nothing like cousins!

  

bath time

Bath time is a favorite at our house.  

Especially when there are bubbles.  

And bubble beards.

Brylen's bubble beard.

And Layna's.

Apparently drinking your bath water is also fun.  Yuck.

But seriously, are these kids not just the cutest!?!

Seriously.  I die.  

(Don't let their cuteness fool you.  There is a lot of attitude that goes with the cute.)
