Y3W | Royal Wedding Whore

Or better known as RWW. And, no I'm not talking about Kate. I'm talking about me. And my sisters. And my mom. And {likely} many of you. ;)

Be honest... you love it. If you've succeeded in pretending that you didn't care at all about what went on this morning, then I don't believe you I salute you. But I also guarantee that you may have taken just a quick peek at her {stunning} dress.

Or the adorable balcony kiss...

But really? It's not just about that. It's the grandeur of it all. It's the passing of the guards, the carriage rides, the children's choir, and a true celebration of the royal family and the British people, as a whole. It's an awesome thing to experience and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't tear up a little when I saw David Beckham watching her walk down the aisle just before 6am this morning. {Yes, I woke up early to watch. What?}

So, I admit it. I'm a Royal Wedding Whore. Are you? Did you get up to watch the wedding this morning? Watch it online or look through pictures? DVR it for later? Be honest, people! {It's okay, this is a safe place.}

Oh, one last thing... and this is where we take our whoreness to the next level: we're having a royal wedding party tonight at my moms. My sisters, mom and I are watching the wedding, wearing hats, drinking wine, and soaking it all in. A little reception, if you will, to celebrate such a joyous occasion. Are we losers? Maybe. {Okay fine, yes.} But I'm super excited about it! =)

And I look better than Kate, right? No? Okay.

Grab a button and join the fun!

Have a great weekend everyone!

I truly appreciate and THANK YOU for your votes!

11 months

Well, Brynnie Girl, the count down is officially on for your first birthday. I can't believe you're going to be ONE in less than a month. Your invitations went out, the tent & moon bounce was ordered, we're making a food list, ordering your cake and party favors, and the rest of the planning is well under way. Ahhhh {post to come about this!!!}
Oh my sweet girl, you are doing so many wonderful things. You're pulling yourself up to stand now and you're actually getting brave and trying to let go! You're crawling so fast that we can hardly catch you and you're totally Miss Independent. Daddy and I try to just kiss and hug you all the time and all you want to do is play {mostly by yourself, since you find Carter to be extremely annoying ;}
Poor Carter Man!

You have exactly 4 teeth now, and those top 2 sure were hard on you. You were chewing on anything you could get your hands on! You sleep like an angel... I'm not sure if you woke up in the middle of the night at all this month. You just LOVE your blankie and you look so darn adorable when you hug and squeeze it against your chubby little cheeks.

I have a confession for you... I absolutely love that spring has arrived, just so I can see your adorable legs all the time. I just want to eat them up, they're just so darn cute! {And I do!}
You are really doing well with a sippy cup, and we'll likely start the transition to whole milk next week. You'll be a big girl like your brother! You absolutely LOVE bath time and Carter gets so excited that the two of you can actually take a bath together now in the new bathroom tub. We got you guys a bunch of bath toys to play with, which may or may not have been a huge mistake, because now we can't get you out of the tub!
Okay, it's time to see how much you've grown this month Brynnie:
The next time I do this post? You'll be one. And it's been one of the best years of my entire life. We're so lucky to have you, Brynnie Girl!

Thank you for voting for the blog!!
