Miss Bennett, Miss Bennett, Miss Bennett!


Hmmmm, can you guess what Brianna wants to be when she grows up? And what an awesome student Emma is going to make for some lucky Kinder teacher. :)

Wake Up Time!

Shhh...So Sweet


Since Girl Scout cookie time began, things have been a little crazy. This is pretty much what I saw of Brianna and Emma for a couple of days. :( And now things are slowing down and I should be blogging more regularly.

The Adventures of Girl Scout Cookie Moms

Our day started by going to the Fort Worth Zoo to pick up 10 cases of Girl Scout Cookies. First of Brrrrrrrr! It was pretty crazy, police directing traffic, a long line that was woven through one quadrant of the parking lot and dollies full of cookies going this way and that - but in all actuality everything moved pretty quickly. Then, it was time to go home and sort cookies and fill orders. Well, that resulted with each of us buying a box or two to "test" - we can't go selling cookies that our good, we felt it was our duty to check them out first. In case you're wondering, all of the cookies were good. Of course, Brianna and her fellow Brownies, Madelyn and Addison as well as Emma and her friend Makenzie helped us out with the testing and agreed - they were GOOD! Emma didn't want her picture taken but that is her in the pretty pink dress - they were also playing dress up :). So, I guess the only thing I have left to say is, "Girl Scout Cookies, anyone?".

Hip Hop Ganstas




The girls were hip hop dancing to HSM 3...I had nothing to do with costumes or props, this was all them. :)

True Friends by Brianna

Not to be out done by Emma's America the Beautiful, Brianna decided to record her own song. A semi-original song called True Friends. She is reading it as she sings as well as clicking the Guitar Hero guitar as an accompaniment. :) By the way, yes it is Jan 5th and those are still our Christmas stockings on the mantle. :)

America the Beautiful by Emma

I really wish I had thought to turn the TV off before I started recording but hopefully it isn't too loud. Emma was so proud to be recorded...she is a cutie pie if I say so myself. :)

American Girl







Brianna and I were invited to The American Girl store in Dallas, this was our first time to go so luckily we were in the company of a couple of her friends and their moms who had been a few times before. WOW! The girls participated in a scavenger hunt around the store and got a poster of Lanie, the new Girl of the Year, browsed the store creating mental wish lists and we ended our visit with lunch in the Bistro upstairs - oh and all three girls chose to bring Lanie home with them. I guess now we know gift cards are always a great gift because I am pretty sure you could never walk into this store with too much money to spend. :)
Not only was Brianna mesmerized by our visit, I think I may have developed an addiction, David is even interested in it, although he may never admit it. What else are you supposed to do when you have two daughters?
Of course my decision to let this be a day just for Brianna didn't go over very well with Emma but we promised we would take her very soon so she could pick out her own doll. Although she thought that soon should be right now, she is learning patience.

Happy New Year!

Welcome! Our New Year's resolution for 2010 is to try and post at least one picture each day to remind us to cherish all of the precious moments this year will bring (rather than allowing them zoom by) and to share them with all of you. May your year be filled with health, prosperity and countless beautiful memories.
