A Bunch of Stuff

I'm going to try to keep today's post short, because I need to get going on a few other things, but I really wanted to post some pictures of what we did over the weekend. Before I do that, I have a couple of things I wanted to mention.

Today..this little girl turned 15 months old. I'm cheating here because this is not a picture I actually took today, but it's close enough! I have been meaning to do a separate post about what she's been up to so I'll have a place to look back where she was at at this age. I will have to work on that another day:)

In one week from today, this BIG girl will be turning four years old! Boy does the time fly!!! I've been so busy lately, I almost didn't realize how close we are until her birthday. I barely got to ordering her party decorations on Tuesday...bad mommy!

Okay...so as I was mentioning earlier, I wanted to share what we did on Sunday. You might remember a while back I posted about going on a girls day trip to the movies with Alyssa and my nieces. I had really been wanting to go back to the movies to do another "Big Girl" activity with Alyssa. I got my Hubby to watch Audrey and we were able to go the the movies and see this movie...

Have any of you been to see this movie too? I guess I was kinda thinking it would be better than it actually ended up being. The movie started out sad and although it had some funny parts, overall, I felt a little disappointed with the movie as a whole.

Here's Alyssa eating her popcorn before the movie started...

And Breanna and Hannah, of course...

On Sunday afternoon after we got home we spent some time playing with a fun new toy. Turns out, some new neighbors of mine were having a yard sale on Sunday morning. I had met my new neighbor's mom for the first time on Saturday while walking down to check the mail. She mentioned to me that her daughter would be having a yard sale the next day and I should come check it out. I am not usually a yard sale person for a lot of reasons, (mainly because I am not good at bartering), but for some reason, I decided to get ready for church early and check out the yard sale right before we left. I know that it was totally God, because when I got down there, I saw that they were selling a Barbie Jeep. Alyssa had been wanting a car for months, but I was not about to pay $350 for a brand new one! I asked my neighbor's mom how much she was selling it for and she said that she said that originally wanted to sell it for $60 but she would take $25! It was such a blessing because it turned out to be an early birthday present for Alyssa and she was so excited about it.

What's so cool is that I was able to seat belt Audrey in there and Alyssa got to drive her around. It brought the biggest smile to my face to see my two big girls riding in the car together!!!

Here's another cute one of them. I was following right behind them as Alyssa drove to the park across the street from our house. I just had to take this picture!

Well, I'd better get going for the day. Today is also my sister Yvonne's birthday. Happy Birthday Yvonne. I love you so much! I am so proud of you and can't believe that my "baby sister" is 26 years old already!!!
