March 2008- Just Lookin Cute!

Make a Smilebox slideshow

Each month we end up with a bunch of random pictures of Bryawna "just doin her thing!" I put them in a folder called "Lookin Cute!" I think everyone else will enjoy them too!
This month Bryawna has been playing more and more in her play room! (Demonstrating her independence!) She was once afraid of her rocking horse, but now she loves it! She's still warming up to the idea of riding it though!
She also started this new thing where after she finished dinner, she wanted to sit, stand, whatever, next to Barnard in his chair! She loves her Papa!!!

Darby's Birthday 2008!

Make a Smilebox slideshow For Darby's 34th birthday this year we went to "The Melting Pot!" This is, by far, Darby's favorite restaurant! We have literally been to several of the different locations and each one is excellent!!! This year it was just immediate family along with John Jett (Grampa John) who was staying with us for a couple of months! Even Bryawna enjoyed the 2 hour dining experience! We tried everything to get her to eat the broccoli... even dipping it in chocolate!!! For dessert we had the Ying/Yang... a perfect blend of dark and white chocolate... Yummy!!!

Dinner with Tia & Tio!

The end of March we went out to LA to have dinner with Claudia & AJ! We went to a great sushi restaurant in Little

Tokyo! YUMMY!!!

Easter Sunday 2008!

On Easter Sunday we started the day with an exciting Easter Egg hunt in the courtyard! Darby's parents were up at Bass Lake visiting Doug & Jenn, so we were invited to Dai's parents house! We had a great time, food, friends, and another Easter Egg Hunt! Bryawna participated with the Griffins 4 kids plus 3 of our other friends' kids and they were all running around like maniacs! After the hunt and some tasty lunch, the kids were playing in the spa! We didn't bring Bryawna's suit, but we took her over to it to put her feet in... we could hardly hold onto her! She was practically jumping out of our arms trying to get all the way in! Our little swimmer!!! After that we stopped by to see Auntie Neen and Uncle Mark and wish them a Hoppy Easter too!!!

Easter with the Barragans 2008

We had the opportunity to celebrate Easter for 2 days this year! Saturday was with the Barragan family! A great lunch at Tia Becky's followed by an Easter Egg hunt in the backyard (which we had to miss unfortunately due to nap time)! Bryawna had so much fun with her cousins!

Miss Independence!

After her nap on St. Patrick's day, Bryawna was playing in the Library and saw her Bumbo. She decided that she wanted to sit in it herself... So, she did! The funny part was that it was facing the wall! She didn't seem to mind!

St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day! While I discovered Bryawna did not have a single green dress (or outfit for that matter) in her wardrobe, she did have some cute stuff with green in it! AND I just couldn't pass up this festive hair bow!!! So after running a few errands, we had a little photo shoot in the courtyard!

Springtime At The Corbett's!

The middle of March we went up to visit the Corbett fam in Bass Lake! On Friday we got to watch Jake's indoor soccer practice! He was sooo cute out there! Meanwhile, Bryawna and Luke played in the balls and had some fun of their own! The weather was cool, some rain, and then it actually snowed on Saturday! Having the 3 cousins together, Jenn and I took advantage of a photo op.! The snow also made for some great fun and photos! That was Bryawna's first time in the snow! (No pictures evidentally, only video) We always have so much fun together! Thanks guys!!!

New Car Seat!

When we returned home from Lubbock, we decided it was time for us to let our baby girl grow up a little bit! We went to find a "forward facing" carseat! At Babies'R'Us they have an actual car seat in the store so you can choose a carseat for your child and attach it to the car seat and let the child sit in the seat and determine if they are comfortable and stuff! We thought maybe a neutral fabric would be a good idea... but then we decided to go ahead and go ALL GIRL! Bryawna looked soooooo cute! Oh, and the safety standards of this one are the best of course!
