OUR SPRING STAYCATION AND MORE

For Spring Break last week we stayed in town and found some fun things to do to take advantage of the perfect weather. We kicked it off with Brynlee winning her soccer game on Saturday. I love watching little kids play soccer, they just run around the field in a massive herd. On Monday we went to Snow Canyon and had lunch at the sand dunes. We also walked the Whiptail Trail. We took Bryn bowling with the lovely Hunters. Kevin and I went for their big basket of fries...soooooo good! The Blue Angels were in town and we were able to watch them from our house. They're amazing!  That was our fun spring break. 

A lot has happened in the last few months. In December we were able to go to Disneyland with the lovely Bean family. Bryn had a blast, needless to say, with her bum finger and all. Some of her favorite rides were: Star Tours, Grizzly Rapids, Splash Mountain, and Little Mermaid. She HATED Space Mountain...I don't blame her. I was afraid she was going to fall out. We also got to go to the beach a couple times. That was probably my favorite part. I love watching the kids run around and play in the sand and water.

Brookie turned 6 months on January 2nd. I can't believe it. Here are her stats: 20 lbs. and 27 inches. She's so big she's off the charts. What can I say, I have chubby babies.

Things have been good around here. We're loving the 50 and 60 degree weather. It's perfect. Kevin just started another semester at school (last one before he starts grad school :)). Bryn is still loving Kindergarten. We just signed her up for soccer and she is so excited. It starts in March so look for adorable soccer pics in the near future.

Brookie is a very pleasant and healthy baby. She weighed 16 pounds at her 4 month appointment. For her first Halloween she was a round, little pumpkin...so cute. Unfortunately, she slept through a lot of our Halloween festivities. We love having her in our family, she's a funny little girl.

BRYNLEE'S BAD LUCK

Three weeks ago Brynlee shut her finger in the car door after school. Luckily, I was standing right next to her and could open it right away. There was obviously a lot of crying and her finger swelled up immediately. After 9 days of it being wrapped in a bandage it was still very swollen. I took her to the doctor to get an xray and as you can see by the picture it is VERY broken. The next morning I had to take her to the hospital to get a pin in it. She will have it for almost 4 weeks. Poor girl!!! I was nervous for her because she had to have anesthesia but she was so brave. I was very proud of her. Her injury hasn't hindered her a bit, she's as active as ever.

 For Halloween Brynlee wanted to be a witch. As long as she didn't want to be a princess I was okay with it. I hope she outgrows the princess stage soon...I'm so sick of it. For FHE we gutted and carved pumpkins. Bryn loved taking out the slimy insides. At school they did a costume parade with the whole kindergarten. On Halloween we went trunk or treating at the Iceberg parking lot where they a bunch of people take their old classic cars. They were extremely festive.

BLESSING, BIRTHDAYS, KINDERGARTEN OH MY!!

We've been busy the last month. We blessed Brooke on August 7, which is also Kevin's birthday. It was such a sweet day and we were so grateful for all of our family who came to be with us. Brynlee turned 5 a couple weeks later. She's a big kindergartener now. Bryn loves school and her teacher. Her mommy loves it too :).

Ahhh
