Uncle Ron


Uncle Ron came to visit a few weeks ago, it was good to see him.  He lives too far away.  And of course Brinley always loves it when she gets to see Brooklyn and Kinlee.  We spent and entire afternoon at the park.  There was food, football and an apple tree so Ash, Russ and I did some picking. (I later turned them into a big pot of applesauce).  

 Brinley LOVE Ron!  The other day when his name came up she said, "Oh, I LOVE Ron!"  Can you see why?



Farm Girl



Brinley loves animals!  She always likes to see Grandpa's chickens and cows when we go visit and Brinley loved taking care of them when Grandma and grandpa went on vacation. 

The Scarecrow Fest



While Dustin was at the Aggie game the girls and I went to the Scarecrow fest.  It was actually pretty cute, so many fun things right in our own back yard.

Paying For Poo

Pulling into the Nibley City office building...

Brinley: "What are we doing?"
Me: "We have got to pay our city bill.  It's for water, garbage sewer-"
Brinley interrupts: "Sewer?  That's like pee and poo.  Why do you guys want to pay for pee and poo?"

Brigham City Open House

We were able to go to the Brigham City Temple open house with Curtis and Whitney.  It was really beautiful and if I'm being honest, I sorta wanted to move in.  Artwork...amazing!  Colors...amazing!  Fabric...amazing!    Sparkling chandeliers...amazing!  Not to mention obviously cleaner than any place I've ever been.  It was a fun experience. Brinley has been wanting to go inside a temple forever so she was super excited about it.  As we were touring one of the rooms Brinley said, "Mom, what's that?" (referring to the alter) and I said, "ask Curtis and Whitney, they have been here before."  she replied, "I'm pretty sure it's a changing table."

365 Days of Pure Joy

You shouldn't have a kindergartner and a one year old in the same week, it's just not fair to a mom.  My baby is one.  I can't believe it.  Our camera isn't working so I had my neighbor, Sterling come over and snap a few pictures before her party, I also snapped a few with my phone and Steve was so nice to let me use his camera when he came for the party so between the three cameras, we got some cute pictures.  I bought a big cute bouquet of balloons with the intentions of  getting some pictures of her in this chair with them.  
 Unfortunately, they came untied before I got any, but we did get this cute picture of her pointing at them.  She couldn't stop staring at them until they were completely out of site.  


 I find no greater joy in life than my two beautiful girls and for the record, no Brinley does not wear glasses.  These are sunglasses, one of the lenses broke so she took the other lens out and wore them for days.  I think she's over them now.  I haven't seen her wear them for a while.

London's party was fun.  Thanks so much to all of you that made an effort to be there.  It really does mean so much to us!  Curtis and Whitney are so great to drive form Ogden to make it to all of our kids stuff.  We really do have great families!
