Hollyn's Crawlin'

Yes, little baby girl started crawling about two weeks ago ( I have been bad about posting)! She isn't listening to mommy- because I told her she doesn't have to hurry and learn to crawl and walk. : ) It is so different than the first born, where we were so excited and couldn't wait for Hattie to crawl and walk. Now I just want Hollyn to stay my little baby. But Hollyn is looking like she is going to take Hattie's "fast approach" to things; crawling before seven months and now I wonder if she will be walking by 9 months?
Big sister has also had an exciting week of potty training!! She has been wearing big girl undies and is doing good at going potty in her potty chair! Lately Hattie has been saying the funniest things, there are too many to write, but her are a few:

The other day I was so excited to tell her we were going to Chuck E Cheese when she woke up from her nap. She said " No, mommy I stay home. Chuck E will get me"
When she was playing hide and seek Brent wasn't finding her so she yelled " Daddy" no response then yelled " Dad" no answer so finally yelled " Brent". I asked her what Daddy's name is and she said " Brent". I asked her mine and she didn't know....I guess she hears " Brent" alot more than " Katie" : )
We had a thunder storm the other night and she came down stairs and said " Mom, I want to sit in the closet, thunder get me". Haha!!

My mom and niece flew into town on Friday! We are so happy to have them down here. My dad and other nieces and nephew will be down in July! YAY!!

Sunday Brent had a fun Father's Day. OUr church had a big " Dadfest" after church where they had delicious brisket, a car show, prizes and lots of fun stuff! Thank you Brent for being the best Daddy to our little girls. I couldn't ask for a better husband or dad!

Here are some picture from the last week or so!! Hope you are all having a great summer!!


The first thing she crawled for was a wipe!! It was a clean one though: )We LOVE to play outside even thought this Texas heat can be really really hot!

the baby cousins

My mom, Hattie, Marina, Kirsten and I had a girls day and went downtown Dallas to see the Children's Aquarium, see Sara at her office, eat at McDonald's, went shopping and finally got yogurt!

Hattie was the only one who would touch all the animals!!

Feeding the sting rays!!

These two are hilarious together- they have their little fights and then are best friends again.
