Happy Birthday Brigitte!

Yesterday was Brigitte's 2nd birthday! Crazy to believe my little stinker is 2 but she is. Gabriel had to leave on another business trip so he didn't get to spend the day with her. He was supposed to leave Monday night but lovely Delta changed his flight from 6 pm to 12:30pm. Our plan was to have lunch together. So he felt really bad. He got up at 5 to bake her a cookie and work her up at 7:15 to sing her happy birthday.

As you can see she wasn't thrilled about it but she loved having a cookie for breakfast!

So since daddy was going to be gone for the week we packed up and went to grandma's house! She threw Brigitte a party! She was thrilled!!!

Brigitte was more intrested in her ballon and singing birthday card than her cake!

Playing in her kitchen with her new monkey and sweater.

My best friend since elementary school Sarah and her daughter Haley got to come celebrate with us. It took about 2 seconds for them to become friends.

They really loved to comb everyones hair.

State Fair 2012

This weekend we took a trip down the road to the fair. Brigitte was so excited which she was interesting because I don't know where she thought we were going to but I guess she knew it was going to be fun.

All ready to go...She kept saying "Let's go, Let's go!"

Of all things to go see at the fair she wanted to see fish! This little girl loves fish.

This is how Violet's rolls at the fair. It was so bright and we couldn't find a bench in the shade.

COWS!!!! She just couldn't believe she could get this close to cows. Here she wanted to feed this cow and this cow wanted nothing to do with her!!!

Daddy showed her how a calf will suck your fingers! They were very hungry! 

This cow was very friendly!

Goooats as she would say. She wanted to touch them so bad but she kept running to the gates too fast they wouldn't let her.

We didn't think she would ride any rides but she saw the horses and ran! She was going to ride them by herself. She did not want to get off though. I had to peel her little arms off the pole and she came out kicking and screaming! A great way to end our day at the fair.

Violet's Blessing

Violet was blessed at church over Labor Day weekend. My father in law, brother in law, sister in law, and my newest not so little nephew got to come too! It was a fast trip with a crowded house but it makes me want to live closer to them so bad! We enjoyed having everyone.

Our little Violet just woke and didn't know what was going on or why!

Not the best family picture but we tried.

Sullins family photo....Brigitte did not want to take pictures she wanted to go to nursery. She thought she wasn't going to get to go!

Dauphin family photo....Brigitte had it she was going to nursery!

Proud grandpa! These kids are only 5 1/2 months apart! My Violet is a tiny little girl and Sebastian is one big boy!

Mommy In Training

Brigitte has always done everything that I do but she is really picking up on her "mommy" skills. She brings Violet things when she is crying all the time. She hasn't figured out that throwing them on her doesn't really help usually just makes things worse but it is cute to watch her.

Mommy was cleaning her room and Brigitte thought Violet might like to read a story. However she didn't like Brigitte pushing the book on her!

Violet can't keep a binky in her mouth so often I am walking around carrying Violet and holding the binky in her mouth.

Brigitte also thought Viley might sleep better if she had her night light and music. She even turned it to her own favorite song before throwing it on Violet!

Videos of Brigitte

Here are the  latest videos of Brigitte. Brigitte is very video shy now. She somehow knows when I am  taking a video or picture. She loves pictures but does not want me to film her apparently. 

Uncle Travis loves this video of Beyonce and so does Brigitte. She will either sit and watch it or try and copy Beyonce's moves which is what I am tying to get her to do in this video.

I finally got sneaky enough and caught her dancing without her knowing I was recording. Check out these skills.

Miss Independent wanted to play outside but didn't want mommy out there with her. She loves playing out there but when she is by herself she won't get off the porch which is why I let her do it!
