Getting rid of the pacifier.....
So we finally got rid of the pacifier at the end of May. We were down to three and I was not about to buy anymore and although I was sad to see my convenient friend go, it was time. Brianna used her last three pacifiers to buy a Jesse doll from toy story and a princess castle. The store employee was great and took her pacifiers and gave her the toys in her own bag. The first night was tough she told me to take the castles back and get her the pacifiers, but as the days went on it definitely got easier. Our nights now consist of a very chatty girl who used to have a "paci" in now talks a lot when it is time for bed, but one that sleeps more soundly because she is not searching in the night for her pacifiers :)

Snow is so much fun!!
Cheesy smile :)
I threw the snow in the air, I know dorky, but it does look like I am in falling snow, right?
Love our Chargers sled, it works perfectly!!
Awwww so cute!!
I love the snow and living so close to the mountains has been one huge advantage to where we live. It only took us 45 minutes to get to mile marker 26 which is where we stopped to have a few fun hours in the snow about a month ago. I found the place to stop on daytrippingmom.com (love the blog) and it was such a great spot! Lots of snow for Brianna to play in, we even went back two days later with more family so Brianna could play with one of her favorite people "Ellie"!! They had a great time together especially sledding on their fun sleds.

Our week at the beach!
We spent a really fun week at Newport Beach with Karen. She rented an awesome house which we were luck enough to stay in for 7 nights. Brianna is definitely a beach girl and even though some days were a little chilly she loved every minute! These are a few of my favorite pictures. More to come of course because we did lots of things that I want to share!
I was so relieved that she took long naps right on the beach it allowed me to stay on the beach and relax, so nice!
We bought a boogie board for $10.00 from a traveling salesman, and it was well worth the money. Our little daredevil has no fear and jumped right on!
These were the best moments for me watching the two loves of my life having the best time!

Sea World!!
So we decided last minute on a Monday morning to go to Sea World and make a fun little get away by staying the night and going to the Zoo the next day. It was such a great time!
Cleaning our table after a pretty good dinner, oh and singing while she is doing it of course!
I cannot believe that my 18 and 3/4 inch daughter has grown to 34 inches so amazing!
I love this pic, it looks like Greg is riding a flying Elmo all by himself, but of course Brianna is next to him, so excited for her first ride!
The bottom pic is Brianna waiting to watch the pets rule show, she was so good for the shows, a very nice surprise for us!
Bubbles, bubbles, and more bubbles, she loved the bubble gun which was definitely worth the hefty 10.00 we paid for it! Especially since it still works, added bonus!

Easter
One of the great perks of living in an association are the activities that are within walking distance for Brianna. The Easter egg hunt today was a hit with our family of three, so I thought it was worth putting on the blog.
curly hair!

Oh pacifier, how we love you, please don't go!
Calming Brianna into the night time routine of reading books while I am exhausted from the day.
Taking naps in other places like Grandma's house at Thanksgiving.
Comfort for big Owies or Boo Boos like this one on her noggin.
And of course the biggest one of all sleep! Brianna begs to go in her crib so she can try her many pacifiers out, since she only gets her pacifier for sleep times, she loves to go to bed so she can get her pacifier fix.
So I think I will start saving now for the inevitable braces and ignore the dentist, as well as pretend that I don't see her teeth already showing signs that the pacifier is making them shift in the wrong direction. Her smile will always be beautiful to me! Besides now that I have my sleep back I dread the day when we do get rid of the pacifier like maybe when she is 5 :)

My Gym
Watch out for my little gymnast! Feet in the air and everything, she thought that was so funny.
Of course Brianna's Favorite part the multiple swings that they hung from the ceiling!
On another note, why do I have my hands on my hips in two of these pictures? I think I need to work on a different stance, I look like I am judging something, anyway weird observation....
