The BIG day




Saturday was Beau and Julianne's wedding. And what a wonderful day it was. Most of you know that Brenna was the flower girl. There has been lots of hype about this day, in hopes that Brenna would perform as necessary. Before Saturday, she had not put the dress on once without a fight. That alone made me a little nervous.

As the rehearsal, Brenna was a little nervous, but did go down the aisle to Beau. Of course, that came after Julianne told her she could run if she wanted to. And run she did. Right in to Beau's outstretched arms. I was feeling better, but still nervous.

The day of the wedding, Brenna pulled through. I can't believe I ever doubted. She looked like a beautiful princess (pictures to come later). She walked right down the isle looking left and right to see who she might know. She walked confidently right down to where Josh and I were sitting. I was proud I couldnt' help but cry. At the reception (which was at the OC forum), she ran around in her dress and barefoot loving the attention she was getting.

Just FYI...If anyone needs a flowergirl, we got a good one!!!

And of course, we are thrilled that Julianne is finally our cousin!!

getting lunches ready

This morning I was in the kitchen getting our lunches ready. I usually give Brenna a choice between 2 sandwiches and then she chooses her sides. This morning she decided she wanted a peanutbutter, jelly, ham and cheese sandwich. You should not be surprised to hear that I told her no. She decide PBJ would be the way to go. Then she told me she wanted a square (she has figured out that this way she gets the crust cut off, because I don't usually do that). I was about to cut it in a square, when she changed her mind and wanted it in a heart shape. She pulled out the cookie cutter and handed it to me and said, "I want a heart shape because of my love for Jesus." Can it get any sweeter than that? I think not!

And if anyone wondered, she decided on a banana and applesauce for her sides and water to drink. What a good girl!
