Fun and Relaxing Weekend

We had such a fun and relaxing weekend! Didn't have any big plans and were able to just play and spend time with friends. We went out to eat breakfast as a family both Saturday and Sunday and it was so much fun!! It wasn't as hot as it has been, so we got in a little park time, too.

Our 2 Sweet Girls!!

Hannah is so funny...she spends a lot of time on this car everyday. She rides the car into the kitchen to get a drink, rides it to the bathroom, to the front door to see if the mailman came, all over the place and she honks the horn the whole time. Alice Anne is usually not far behind her crawling trying to catch her.

Alice Anne LOVES emptying and filling up buckets!

Alice Anne was such a little cuddle bug on Saturday. She just laid here on the couch with daddy and talked for the longest time. It was so sweet! Sunday was a different story...she was a wild woman and would not sit still!

Hannah has started wanting to read independently some. She also loves "reading" to Alice Anne.

She really likes the ABC books that all fit together into a big puzzle.

Baby Ryan was over Saturday night, so we pulled out the bouncy seat. These 2 girls got so much entertainment with that thing today! They were hilarious! And, Hannah is a mommy in training!! I don't think she's been around a little baby much since Alice Anne was born and she loved playing with Ryan! She was so attentive to her all night and wanted to feed her, hold her, give her her paci, give her toys, etc. She really wanted to take a bath with her, but that didn't happen! She didn't leave her side all night! She LOVES babies!!!

They were cracking up in the bouncy seat together!! They just laid there and giggled!

Look how big she looks!!

I love these pictures because it shows how much the girls adore their daddy and how much he adores his girls! They sat on the couch this afternoon for the longest time and made up silly songs about going to get ice cream and going to the park. The girls were both laughing hysterically!
Kisses for Daddy!!!

Funny little story: Brett and I have always done nicknames. Our dogs have always had nicknames (Wally is nicknamed "Boy"), Brett has always had several nicknames that I call him and now it's our girls turn. Alice Anne started out as Allie Bally, then Hannah changed it to Addy Baddy, and now she's usually just called Bally. Hannah started as Hannah Bo, now she's Hanza Bonanza or Hanzie Banzie, but usually she's just Banzie. But, daddy calls her Hanza BOOOOO Nanza.

The last couple of times that anyone has asked her what her name is, her response is, "My name is Hannah, but my daddy calls me Hanza BOOOOO Nanza!" She said it to the check-out lady at the grocery store a couple of weeks ago and then this morning was the funniest! An old man was opening the doors for people at church and he bent down to talk to Hannah and he asked her what her name was and she gave her silly response...as loud as she possibly could! I was a little embarrassed, but it was really funny! She usually won't say it if you ask her to, but she'll say it at the most random times which makes it so funny!
