Misc. pics

You'll have to bear with me as I'm still trying to catch up on what's been going on lately - that's what happens when you don't post for more than a week, especially when you're already behind! I will try to get our trip pics posted this weekend sometime, plus I still have lots of creations that I haven't shared yet!

On Saturday the 9th, David helped the Scouts plant some trees down by the river. The girls had fun "skipping" rocks, riding in the wheelbarrow, and climbing in the dirt - oh, and they did manage to help a little with the project ;-)

Brianna had her Kindergarten music program at school last week - it was called 'How Does Your Garden Grow?' - the kids all did a great job. There were 5 DeVries cousins in this program - the three that are in K, plus cousin Isaac was Herb the Gardner and cousin Kalob was a grasshopper. Here is Brianna - she was a flower.

Brailee is my little bag girl - she always has one that she's packing around. On Christmas Morning the first present she opened was the Scripture Bag that my mom made her to which she exclaimed "My Bag!" After that she didn't really care if she opened any more presents or not. Here she was as we were heading out the door one day last week - all ready with her bag full of treasures! I tried to get a close-up of just her and her bag, but she was being silly and hiding from me ;-) Plus I just like this picture - I love the look on her face and how Trysten is just watching her.

Brailee is also my little snuggle bug. She likes to come in our bed right around the time David gets up for work at 5 in the morning. My cell phone alarm clock wakes me up at 5, but then my regular alarm clock is set for 6:30 just in case I go back to bed or fail to get up at 5. Well, I usually forget to turn off my alarm clock until I hear it blaring, so I run in my room to turn it off and surprisingly, Brailee doesn't even move! This is usually how I find her. Speaking of which, I think I forgot to turn it off again this morning - I'd better hurry!
