Sister Kim and Brooke's Visit

A few weeks ago, my frister (friend/ sister in law) came in town for a work conference and I was able to spend a few days with my niece, Brooke, and the sisters.

We had a fun time running around in the backyard, around the house, and playing with the ducks. I am so excited that our kids are so close in age. I took the sisters over to my mother-in-law's house while Kim was at work, and we had a fun cousin photo shoot. It was craaaazzzzy. But so fun.

Brooke taught Claire how to "row row row your boat."

 They watched a little bit of Nick Jr, so I could capture a picture. I think they watched Wonder Pets.

 It was crazy! We could hardly get them to sit still!

 Cookies, anyone?

 and we're done here...

For my 30th Birthday, Sister Kim and Stephanie (my other wonderful sis-in-law) got me a make over with a stylist at Neiman Marcus/ Laura Mercier counter. It was so much fun, and I got to pick out some makeup to take home. We wish Steph could've joined us, but we did have a lovely break from mommy time while Mark watched all 3 girls. I think he is wondering how my July Birthday has still gone well into September. Ha! Thanks Panda! I can't wait to see Kim and Brooke again. We had a great time!
