The big girls....

Couple days ago an incident happened that just made me smile. This incident perfectly depicted my two big girls' personalities.

It was spring break, and in an effort to fill our days with fun I took the girls to a play that our park district was holding. It was The Enchanted Sleeping Beauty so I knew they'd love it.

I was right. They ate up every minute. It was almost two hours long so I was a little worried that they'd be able to sit that long, but with a small snack in the middle, they sat the entire time!

I just love seeing their eyes light up with excitement.

Fun times.

Here are the pics:

Dressed and ready with our tickets :)

Went with some girlfriends from Bella's preschool





Afterwards we had to get everyone's autograph of course. Brynn shocked me by asking for the evil fairy, Evilina's, autograph. Even though she was evil she was quite hilarious!
Aurora was of course the biggest hit. :)

As for the incident, as we were leaving the play the girls went running out the door ahead of me. I yelled to them to not go in the road and wait for me. As I watched Bella stopped short of the road by about 10-15 feet. Now Brynn, she stopped, but she literally kissed the road with her toes before stopping. Ha. That about sums them up. Bella is SO compliant and wanting to do what's right , she'll play it safe. And then there's Brynn, also very well behaved, but she'll push the boundaries to see just how far she can go. :)

Gotta love 'em!

Learning to Relax....

One (of many) of my short comings is I'm guilty of being controlling.

I'm guilty of not letting or giving the girls a chance to do things on their own.

I just know I can do it better and faster.

I know, mother of the year.

So anyway, Bella is always asking to feed Brooke and I usually say no.

It would just take forever and be a massive mess.

The other night she happen to ask me again, and I decided to lighten up!

So that evening I let go of my controlling tendencies.

And said, sure.

Sure you can feed her.

And what did I get in return?

Yes I got one messy baby...

And yes it took way longer than it would have taken me.....

But...

I had a chance to work on dinner for the rest of the fam.....

I had a happy, full baby...

And I had a very happy 5 year old, who ran to me when she was done and said.....

I love you mom. :)

Bella, Brynn, and Brooke....

Sorry my posts are a bit random and sporadic. I'm working on the girls' birthday post and its taking me FOREVER!

3 much more important things keep pulling me away!

Wanted to give a little shout out to Braylabee's!!

I came across her site a few weeks back and every Friday she has a fun special and they're great deals.

Several weeks ago she had a special for these shirts for $10!

I am obsessed with personalized things but never purchase them for the girls since its not really economically smart (we're all about passing our clothes down to our little sisters) but with these being $10 each I couldn't pass it up!

(Braylabee's did not ask me to say something, just wanted to share a good deal!)

Wordless Wednesday- 7 Months, Who looks like who?

No Words Necessary...

The Ultimate Blog Party 2011....

A blog friend of mine was participating in this blog party and I just had to join!

What a fun way to "meet" new people and find new blogs to read.

Thanks for visiting us at Unfailing Love!

My name is Barclay.

Yes, like the dog on Sesame Street. :)

I am blessed to be a SAHM and former first and second grade teacher.

I started blogging a few years ago and I just love it.

Its a great hobby and a wonderful resource as a new newish mom.

I love dabbling in photography, so this is a fun way to share my favs.

Plus I have 3 ADORABLE subjects to work with. :)

We also live many states from any of our immediate family so we use our blog to keep them up to date on the Domier family happenings and to keep the grandmas satisfied. :)

Oh you also may notice I'm a little smily face crazy. :) Sorry couldn't resist.

I have been married to my college sweet heart for almost 11 years. He's an awesome hubby and an even more amazing father. Definitely a man's man. You might wonder how he does with 3 little girls, and although a little boy was always a hope, he couldn't love or be a better father to his 3 precious daughters. He's kind, sensitive, patient, good at challenging, always teaching, and a spiritual leader to all four of us.

Now on to the main attractions.

Our 3 beautiful girls!

Coming from two families with mostly boys we thought for sure we were in for a family full of testosterone. Yet, with each ultrasound we were, pleasantly, shocked!

Isabella Kathryn.

Mostly known as Bella, Bellie, Bells and whistles.

She just turned 5 and she is a pure joy to be the parent of.

Bryanna Karina.

Mostly known as Brynn, Brynnie Boo, Kickers.

She just turned 3 and she is our precious firecracker.

Brooklyn Blythe.

Mostly known as Brooke, Brookie Cookie, Little Bean.

She just turned 7 months and you'll never meet a cuter, more well behaved baby, ever. :)

Since they all just had birthdays or a monthly milestone you can read their update posts here, here, and here.

Thanks so much for visiting us! I hope you'll come back often and check what's new with our 3 little beauties!

I look forward to "meeting" you during this party. :)
