Monkeying Around


Just monkeying around!

Dancing

 We went to my cousin's little girl's 3rd birthday and her party was a The Little Gym.  This place was so much fun!  The kids could run and jump and play, yet it was structrured by time and doing different activities.  All the kids loved it!



 Laila and her cousin Audra
All the kids sitting in a row. Laila and Audra were not paying attention haha!

Having so much fun! 
Laila hugging on her Uncle "Jibby" Benjamin 

Deflating the "jumpy"

She couldn't sit still on the dot like all the other good kids lol

Thinking about it

They were both pooped after the party, haha!

Circus!

In August we went up to Arlington to visit D.J.'s brother and sister and his mom took us all to the Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus to celebrate all of their birthdays!

 Daddy, Laila and a big elephant

 It was very entertaining and Laila loved it, the whole time!
 Making a new friend
 My angel
Love Grandma and Grandpa Briggs!

The loves of my life

Suzanne and Richard are married!

My sister Suzanne married her best friend, high school sweet heart, love of her life for over 10 years! 

She was an amazingly beautiful bride.  I am beyond happy for her and Richard.  I've known Richard since they were in junior high school so he has been like a brother for a very long time.  I love them both so much!

 After rehearsal the flower girls playing together
 My best friend since I was 2 years old. I love you Suzie Q

We love our daddy!
 The night before the wedding doing girly things (facial mask) we could be mistaken
for the Blue Man Group!

 Laila loves her Uncle "Jibby" (his name is Benjamin and Jibby came out so it stuck)

 The wedding was at 2:00 pm, the middle of what would have been nap time. She was crashing fast and was getting very cranky right before show time.  Luckily she made it down the isle, with the other flower girl also named Laila, with a smile on her face.  Uncle Jibby helped by entertaining her during the ceremony and she crashed on the way to the reception, stayed asleep to be carried inside and the great-aunts took turns holding her while she slept. Such a loved little girl!!
 Grammy and Laila
 My 2 sisters and their HUSBANDS!! We are all married now. Our parents can take a
breather LOL! Two weddings in one year, holy cow!
 Aunt Sammy and Laila girl
 She was blowing bubbles with her great-aunt Charlotte.  She LOVES bubbles!
