Beach Day

There is no better way to begin a morning than with Uncle Scott, Lefty (we love you) and Lego's...Woohoo!!!

Time with Daddy in the sand...

Mommy showing...and then letting go. UGH!!!

Cousin time on the beach... so fun!!!

The make-shift bath....there is nothing better than a bath before bed- and well Bryce and I will have to agree. So of course we make sure that happens camping or not. She loved it.

We're off....

We are headed for Santa Barbara for 5 days. YEAH!!!

We arrived and Bryce went to get the Cousins- Ethan and Evan, escorted by Aunt Becky. She wants to PARTY already...funny little one.

These are my new favorite pictures of Bryce. She was looking up at Uncle Steven...and well, her face tells the story.

Checking out the view...and maybe biting on the window just a little bit.

Bryce seemed to be very excited about her new bed in the camper. We are too!!! The last pack and play was a nightmare. This works out perfectly. YEAH!!!!

Crackers...

Guess who loves her crackers...Bryce can't seem to figure out how to be a Princess when it comes to food like crackers. It is open mouth and insert....all of them. It is so funny to watch her try to shovel them all in.

...she even wants to share the handful with her dolly...of course.

Bryce has started making some very funny signs lately...I have taught her several signs in sign language and she uses them daily. But, this week she has started doing something so funny. She waves her hand backwards,- like come here, -follow me. If you are sitting on the floor she will go behind you and give you a nudge to get up and follow her. My favorite part is when she grabs your hand and pulls you where she wants you. Oh, and let me add that every movement is accompanied by a -ooooohhhh over and over again!!!!

Reflections

This morning Bryce walked to the mirror in our room and was trying to put her hat on her head. She got it on and then took it off and looked in the mirror at herself. Well then the funniest thing happened...-she walked to the mirror and tried to put the hat on the person in the mirror. Too cute.

My Blue Eyed Little Love

The Love...

I could not stop kissing on Bryce today. I could spend the entire day do that. She is so lovable and I just want to love on her all day long. I am so very beyond THANKFUL for our little miracle, each and everyday.









My heart just melts as I watch Bryce play with her dolls. She is so loving and nurturing to each of them. It makes me feel good as a Mother...I hope that she is learning all of this from me. I know that Bryce will make a wonderful Mother someday-and not anytime soon.














The kisses never stop...and the protection she has for her babies is wonderful. She always make sure that they are buckled up.

All of her dolly's get love..love. I love hearing her sing them a little song in her "angelic" little voice.

Most of the day, Bryce is taking care of her baby in one way or another....sometimes the poor doll is dragged down the hallway. But most of the time Bryce is giving her all her love.

Happy Easter

With Bryce having her cold we decided to have Easter at home this year. We were able to share it with Aunt Kellie, Uncle Greg and Grandma Midge.What a special treat this was...

This was the most precious site of the day.....Aunt Kellie loves Brycie and Brycie loves Aunt Kellie. My heart is filled with so much joy and happiness with their smiles.

It just doesn't seem like a true Easter egg hunt when you have to have it inside. I don't think that I can ever remember it raining on Easter before. It still was a beautiful day!!!

I was so excited for Bryce to go on her first Easter egg hunt. She really got the hang of it fast. That's because she takes after her Mother and is smart. Ha Ha!!! Uncle Greg did a great job hiding the eggs and we all cheered Bryce on as she went around the living room.

The joy on her face as she opened the eggs was priceless. I think that she was so excited not at the satisfaction of getting the egg open (Uncle Greg gave her a lesson on how to open them-Thank you, Uncle Egg) but, what was inside. Alan and I bought little bath toys and choochies to put in the eggs. No candy (yet) for this little one.

Aunt Kellie and Bryce had fun checking out what was in all the eggs and then putting them all back in the bucket.

Flowers

Today, I captured this BEAUTY in our yard....
