Started off the day getting to have an
ultrasound and got to see these sweet
CHUBBY CHEEKS!!

 My mom came up to be with us
and brought a slice of caramel cake
from "Piece of Cake".....SO GOOD!

 Help blowing out the candles

 I know this is cheesy...
but I love these kind of pictures!!
(34 1/2 weeks)

 Brandon and Milla had
Daddy Daughter Date Night
at her school!!

 On the weekend after my bday Brandon's
parents were kind to offer to hang out with
Milla and Faith while Brandon and I
got to go to dinner at Taqueria Del Sol
(where I always pick!!)

 LOVE this one.  I was inside and just
happened to look out the window--
Brandon had traced the girls with
chalk on the driveway and at this point
he was taking his turn laying down as they
traced him!!! Such a sweet Dad!!!

 Milla and Faith with their buddies Tinsley
and Thatcher at Mrs.Steph's house!

 A package arrived-- Brandon and I walked away
and came back to 2 little investigators!

 Sweet Shadow!!
(tried to get one of Faith too-- but no
time to stay still for her on this day!!)

 Got to see my High School Friends!!
We usually try to get together for a Girl's Dinner
around New Year's--but, due to crazy schedules
March was the first date we could find
to coordinate!! FUN to catch up!!!

 BECKY had the most exciting news
to share.....you can see the JOY on
her face!!!!......
Expecting a baby in September!!!

 Like most little girls,  these two
have fallen in love with the songs
from the movie Frozen... every night they
like to play it on the speakers and dance.
The other night they had both climbed
into the cabinet-- had the doors closed--
the music blasting-- and were singing
at the top of their lungs!!!

 Mimi came to visit!

 The girls with Great Granddaddy Rogers

 Got to spend some girl time with Elise and
Adrienne getting their nails painted for the
first time.  Younger sisters Faith and Annie
were going to go on dates with the Dads--
but Annie had to make a trip to the Dr. for an
ear infection...so, Brandon and Faith went
to the Park and then IHOP for smiley face
pancakes!!

SISTERS!!!
