Special surprise!!

A few weeks ago, Mommy and Daddy took us to pick up a “special surprise” at the store. Someone who loves us very much got us a special surprise!!!  We went and got a GRRRRREEAAT big box plus another little box.  We put the big one in the garage, and Daddy brought in the little one in the house.  He started to get things out of it and put them all together.

Me and KiKi tried to help, but Daddy said he could do it himself.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

When it was done, we had a BIG jumper in our living room!OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The big box stayed outside in the garage for a few days because Daddy said he was going to have to have some help to fix it up for us.  PaPaw and Uncle Levi came over to help Daddy one night, and the next day (after she had to dry it off from the rain!) this is what happened when Mommy said we could go see our big special surprise!

Can you believe that there’s somebodies who love us so much to get us a swingset?!?  It’s going to stay in our yard so we can go play whenever we want!

KiKi wanted us to go down the slide together.  It’s not very big for two girls, but we did it!

Then we tried the see-saw swing.  It’s a little big for us still, but if we hold on tight Mommy can swing us on it.

This is my favorite part, because I can go climb up there and sit as long as I want. This is the part that was why we got this swingset instead of a different kind.  So KiKi and I can sit together with Jack and Dashlyn when they come over, OR I can sit all by myself and just relax.

We played until nap time.  KiKi went in and went to bed.  I decided I would try Daddy’s hammock, since he likes to sleep in there.  It worked really nice, I think.

Thanks to our special somebodies who got our swingset for us! And thanks to the other special somebodies who put it together for us!  It’s going to be really good to have something I can practice my climbing on and work on my swinging to help me get strong. And it’s FUN!  We can’t wait for it to stop raining so many days so we can go out and play some more!!

  2. WOW! That is really a nice gift for you to get and yes it will help you to practice climbing and swinging on, but don't forget about your sister for it will help her too I bet.

    Both of you are getting to be really big girls now. Maybe your Mommy will work on potty training you girls this summer so you can get rid of those diapers. Maybe you need to put in a request for someone to buy you one of those really cute little potties they have out now.
    (MOM NOTE) I know for a fact getting rid of one in diapers helped out financially but having 2 out would be awesome. I have another year to go but I cannot wait. They are so darn expensive it is crazy. BTW, I mentioned this since I know your youngest one is almost 2 1/2, and just thought you might be starting to think about it. Maybe if the youngest starts then Braska will too.

Mommy report: Chatty girl

Braska's been just loving her words lately. She's still signing some, mostly when we're in public or around strangers, but she's adding more words all the time. Many of her words are just attempts at the actual word, but that's where we all start, right?!? We're not saying that she'll be giving speeches next month, but we are very proud that she's become such a mimic and that she is loving using so many sounds. We practice often, just running through her words, signs, and tricks. She especially loves to chime in with videos of herself, so I've been working on compiling all her favorites for her to work with. As I was editing this, she was sitting here saying the words over and over. So funny to hear her talking to herself on the screen and loving it. So here's a peek at some clips from our practice session tonight. Some words are more obvious than others. They are all great attempts, though, and we'll celebrate that! Make an on-line

Nebraska meets Indiana

Braska's reaction to meeting the very kind Rory Feek and his beautiful daughter Indy.  I missed the part where Braska said Indy was sooooooooooo cute!  :) Our dream would be a photo showing the two most beautiful "states" together, right?!?  :)
