So, my blog post doesn’t really have a theme this time around, other than to show off how AWESOME our family is!!! LOL 
Braelyn started swim class again and this time, Uncle Chris is her private instructor. She LOVES going to class and is really happy to see Chris every week and kick her feet, wear goggles and splash around for 1/2 an hour. Mom likes it too because it seems to tire her out and make her naps last longer!
Braelyn has really been into writing and drawing lately and she has perfected the drawing of faces; happy, mad or scared with big eyes and “crazy hair”. She will draw faces over and over on her easel, pads of paper and her chalkboard. I thought everyone might like to see one of the samples that she drew especially for me with NO help!
I also wanted to show everyone how she can write her name (with some help from mom!). She is definitely right handed which is strange to Matt and I, both being lefties!
This week we took some family pictures and any of you that have ever tried to photograph Braelyn know what an experience it can be getting her to stay still, look at the camera & smile nicely all at the same time. So you can imagine my surprise and excitement when the pictures turned out WONDERFULLY! Here are 2 of my favorites:
We here in AZ hope that you have a wonderful rest of your weekend and enjoy the upcoming week. We will have another post soon detailing all of the 3rd Birthday festivities for those of you that won’t be able to be here with us. It should be a lot of fun!
Love Always,
MLB Mama

It was quite an adventure at the portrait studio keeping Casie on the table without her trying to jump off and then trying to keep Braelyn smiling and looking at the camera at the same time. Not to mention having Mom and Dad pay attention to the camera instead of Casie and Braelyn! I can only imagine how silly I looked dancing around and making faces next to the photographer to keep everyone entertained. But the pictures turned out great and shows off your beautiful family! I can’t believe that Baby B is going to be 3 next week - she’s not a baby any more! Love you guys!!

Wow, what a treat !! Maybe “we” have a budding artist or writer in our midst. Thanx and love to you all. Please give Braelyn a big hug and kiss and HAPPY BIRTHDAY from me. AC
