Unforgettable Moments

I always dreamed of days like this! For so many years I never thought I would get to enjoy days like this, but here we are and I am ENJOYING each moment. Bryce and I needed to go to the mall to exchange a few things and that is all that we needed to get done today. We really didn't even need to do that, but that was the plan.

We headed to the mall for a little "girly girl" time. We did what we needed to do, which included buying Bryce a new pair of white sandals (someones feet have grown) and then decided to go to Nordstrom's Cafe for lunch. What a special time that was, just us, talking and enjoying such yummy food.

When we came home, Bryce had fallen asleep in the car so I put her in her bed. Then a little while later Auntie Ann called and was coming by. I was sad that Bryce was sleeping but that gave me one on one time with Grey and Charlie. Not long after they were here, Bryce woke up to join in on the fun.

This would be Little Andrea and Little Melissa...so funny, but true

I am going to find pictures to show you just how scary this really is.

Rocka, Rocka, Rock!!!

Me and my Cousin, so much fun.

...AWE

What is in your mouth? You better share. Stick out you tongue, come on.

Grey and Charlie, sibling love.

Tonight, Alan took Bryce and I to one of our favorite restaurants. Well, Alan and I's, Bryce has never been there unless in my tummy counts. Alan and I use to go there very often, till we moved. It is by our old house and we haven't been there for a very long time. Anyway, it was a wonderful treat and I am so beyond full still.

Bryce really enjoyed it and made us laugh and feel proud all in one moment. When the waiter came to put our leftovers in the boxes, Bryce was watching very attentively. All of the sudden, she lifted her spoon off of her plate with rice on it and reached it towards the waiter filling the boxes. She was saying that she wanted to take hers home too. It was so priceless to watch. The waiter then, joined in on her wish and gave her a box. I loved that he did that, we need more people in the world like that. People that encourage little ones to be helpful, enjoy life and to participate in everything. Bryce then took her little spoon and filled her box with all of the stuff from her plate. I can't even describe this moment fully....she's my baby-but not for long. Someone is interested in being potty trained already, wait that means she is REALLY growing up. Wait stop, it can't be true, already, you are only 17 months old. NO!!! These are just some of the thoughts going through my mind.

This is the food that Bryce packed in her to-go box. I love moments like these, and I love to share them with my perfect little family. I am amazed each day by little things that she does like this. I wouldn't change being apart of these special moments for anything.
