Sisters

I love the quote that says something along the lines of "Sisters by chance, friends by choice." Growing up I always wanted a sister! I remember asking my mom for a sister for Christmas, my birthday, you name it.

Needless to say I never got my wish (until I got married and now have almost 3 amazing sister-in-laws) so I am thrilled that I now have 2 little girls of my own! I can already tell that they are going to be the best of friends. Bostyn will just stare at Brooklyn and watch her every move, and Brooklyn is loving being her big sister!

Here are some of the pictures that we recently took of them:

Life!

We have been keeping busy and having lots of fun this past month! Time sure is flying by; these girls are getting bigger by the minute!

Brooklyn loves to paint and do fun projects. I saw this mess free painting idea on Pinterest and had to try it. She loved it!

Brooklyn thinks it is pretty funny to dress Bostyn up

Just a quick picture after church one day

These two LOVE the bathtub! They are both little fish when it comes to water.

We took a trip to the zoo a few weeks ago. It was Bostyn's first time and she slept the entire time, but we still had fun!

In front of the zoo

All of the animals were all up and so close to the glass that day. Brooklyn was so excited to be so close to them!

Brooklyn has become quite the photographer and she loves taking pictures!

We love the huge plants

and of course the elephants.

Greg has been busy finishing up his LAST semester of law school! In the meantime we have been sending out these pretty little things-Resumes! I can't believe we are just about finished.

Bostyn at 4 weeks old! I could stare at her chubby little face all day long.

A couple of weeks ago we decided to let Brooklyn get some Goldfish! I can't look at this picture without laughing so hard-she was so excited about them.

She lovingly named them Mom, Dad, and Bostyn fish. Sadly they all died within a few days (we probably shouldn't have let her carry the bag.)

Meanwhile, we have been making some awesome Mickey Mouse pancakes. She loves anything remotely related to Disney World. She is going to be so excited when we surprise her with a trip there in May before we move!

We sure love this cute baby

and we can't believe how grown up this girl is!

Brooklyn has quite the imagination! Greg was unloading the dishwasher, so she grabbed the frying pan and the roll of paper towels and came out of the kitchen yelling "Look Mom! I'm Tangled!!" It was pretty funny.

2 months old already!

We have yet to capture a Sunday picture with Bostyn awake or not crying, but they are still adorable!

We love these two girlies!

Don't you want to just kiss those cheeks?

Don't worry, we've got it covered!

A new year, a new us!

Wow, time has really flown by these past few weeks! Our lives have completely changed and we have had so much fun getting to know our new addition to the family! Bostyn is already 6 weeks old; it seems like we brought her home yesterday! Here are a TON of pictures to document what we have been up to!

First of all, this girl is a SUNBEAM in primary and she loves it!

She has also discovered a new pastime...

Bostyn experienced her first bath, and LOVES the water

but she didn't love getting out quite as much

It has been so much fun watching Brooklyn be a big sister! She absolutely adores her baby sister!

4 days old!

Brooklyn never leaves her side

When Bostyn starts crying, Brooklyn runs over and starts singing primary songs to try and calm her down

Those first few weeks were a little sleep depriving

but we are finally getting in the swing of things!

So tiny and only 6 days old.

While Greg's parents were here visiting we took a trip out the beach!

The sky and moon were amazing that night

and Brooklyn had a blast running on the pier

As we were leaving one of the fisherman caught this stingray.

Love them!

It has been so fun having two little girls

and to watch Bostyn grow up so fast!

They are already best little friends.

We've had a few warm days in Florida, so we took advantage and took a picnic to the park.

Brooklyn LOVES taking a bath with Bostyn. Every night she asks if she can take a shower with her.

and were still working on the getting out situation.

The past couple of weeks this is what Brooklyn comes out of her room looking like. She has a new storybook with lots of stickers, and she loves to come out and say "Happy Halloween!" every single night. She is such a funny girl and has the best personality!

So there you have it. The past few weeks of our lives in a nutshell!
