SpRiNG BREak!

These first few pictures are at the end of our Spring Break. I have been watching the neighbor boys on Monday and Wednesday. Brae loves them at the house and she especially loves to ride in Carter's truck! Somehow they all wore blue that day:)
Braelyn has been walking so well inside that we have given her a few chances to try her skill outdoors. She loves outside and if you ask her about it she immediately looks at or walks to the door and whines to go out.
We spent most of our Break in Williamsburg, VA. It was so much fun to see the historical sites, relax, enjoy food and friendships. The drive was 9 hours! Brae did great in the car, although there was a few tantrums, she learned some new signs and how to show everybody her tongue.
I can't believe that they held prisoners in these before their court trials. Jeff and Ashley got to be in reenactment in the courthouse. I don't have any pictures because Braelyn did not want to listen.
Matthew and Brae became best of friends. You will see later, that she cried whenever Matthew was going to bed. I love her pigtail hairdo, especially after it comes out and she has horns.

We came across wild Bamboo. It was the first time I have seen so much of it. Brae loved it and so did Jeff, I even snapped a shot of Jeff climbing up the shoots.

I love this picture. Too bad, Jeff has his admission sticker on :(
This was a first for Brae. That's right, she had never been in a swimming pool before and as you can tell by her expression she was thrilled. She didn't mind doing back floats, kicking and yes..being dunked. That's what you get when your mommy taught swimming lessons for five summers.
Tonight we had family home evening and Brae showed her newest skill...folding her arms. It is so fun to watch this little girl grow, we love her more every day!

Wow, she seems to big and much older than Levi...even though they're only days apart! I can't believe how many signs she knows. It reminds me of Jacob when he was that age. Levi, he doesn't sign much. Pretty content to watch what's going on. But he can wave so I know he's got some smarts going on up there. Very cute!

Taylor and I LOVED watching those videos and looking at the pics. After the video, she said, "wanna see Brae Brae"... We miss you guys and can't believe what a good walker she is! She is AMAZING at her sign language! I am thoroughly impressed! Glad you had fun in Virginia and I'm so shocked she did pretty well in a 9 hr drive! Taylor would not do so well in the car that long (even with breaks!) Love and miss ya!

Brae is darling! I can't believe how much she has grown. You look beautiful as always and we are so glad you are doing well!
