Pupmkin Carving

So this year Bryce wanted to get a little creative and try carving a Hello Kitty and Minniw Mouse in our Pumpkins- with not having the right knives or tools that didn't turn out too bad...

Halloween

The girls has a great Halloween this year! They were lucky enough to go Trick or Treating 3 different times and had way more candy than they knew what to do with!

On Friday Brooklynn's preschool had a trunk or treat that they were able to get dressed up and go to. Brooklynn changed her mind about a million times trying to decide what princess to be, she finally settled on Snow White and Madi loves Minnie mouse and we already had the costume so dressing up was day this year!

Brooklynn at her Halloween Parade. She learned 4 really cute Halloween songs that they sang and she was so cute- I was a proud mama that day!!

Madi got a little ornery at the trunk or treat so she ended up in the back eating a sucker.

She loved her candy!

On Saturday night our ward had their Trunk or Treat. It didn't take Madi long to figure is out and had a great time running from car to car holding out her bucket saying thank you.

Fun at the Farm

Back in August we went up to the frame in Rupert idaho to do some corn picking- the girls had so much fun running around and enjoying the farm. Brooklynn thought it was so cool so see how corn and carrots were actually grown

Madi didn't help much...she just enjoyed her snacks and running around- which ended up in me not helping and chasing her around.

Brooklynn loved finding so many lady bugs!

Hair Cuts

We took the girls to Cookie Cutters to get their hair cut before school. They both sat so well and ended up with some cute little hair cuts :)

Brooklynn sat very still and was very serious just about the whole time

Madi's cute new hair do!

Brooklynn got a trim and some layers- she wanted her hair in braids with some glitter!

24th of July

Getting ready to ride the slides

We had a great 24th of July! bryce's side of the family was in town and it was great to spend time with them seance we only see them once every 4 or 5 years- We enjoyed a few BBQ's, a greta concert at the conference center and a trip up to Snowbird.

Little Madi was pooped!

Brooklynn had so much fun playing with her cousins!

She loved this little jumping thing- i'm not tho sure it was worth the hour long wait but she enjoyed it :)

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July just as usual! We headed up to Logan for my family traditional breakfast- the kids had a great time playing and it was good to see most of my extended family. Then we headed to Bryce's parents house for a delicious BBQ! What a great day!

having fun on the swing

Madi enjoyed swinging as well!

She had a little too much swinging and wasn't feeling too great- she bounced back quickly after a couple min she was back to running around playing

My cute little festive girl!

her new face she started doing- I love it!

Bye Bye Summer!!

I'm a little sad to see summer go- I felt like it went by way too fast and we hardly got to enjoy it!! (it doesn't help that I spent it sick!) We have enjoyed having a pool and the girls loved going as often as we could- Brooklynn became very confident in the pool and Madi enjoyed laying out with mommy- she preferred to sit on the chairs with juice and snacks, my kind of girl!! We loved having BBQ with family and friends and I'm not looking forward to the cold weather just yet!

Madi hit a huge milestone this summer- she finally started walking!!! I can't believe the difference this has made in her! She has changed from the cutest little baby to the cutest little girl! She is so happy to be running around and keeping up with the big kids. It's so fun to see her little personality come out and this little one is fearless!

Her little smile just melts my heart!! She is the sweetest little thing!

She loves to be right in the middle of all the action and loves watching her big sis trying to keep up with her. She loves to play chase, tackle and loves to be tickled and to tickle!

She had developed a very fond love of Mickey Mouse!

When it comes on TV she starts dancing and is glued !

Loves her Minnie too

Enjoying some ice-cream!

We sure do love this little addition to our family and all the screaming and laughter that comes along with it!

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day just as I always do :) I have the best husband and family anyone could ever ask for!! Bryce and Brooklynn made me breakfast in bed and he surprised me with tickets to Abravanel Hall to see an Abba tribute band and had a nice dinner at Tucanos. (of course once again i am horrible at taking pictures and this is the only picture we took) I am so grateful to be blessed with being the mother and wife to the best husband and little girls and to have such a wonderful mother and mother in law!! Happy Mother's Day!!

Memorial Day Weekend

It seems like this summer has just flown by and I have not posted anything! So I have the whole summer to catch up on! starting with Memorial Day weekend we went up to Rupert Idaho where Bryce's grandparents are buried. We haven't been up there to see their graves at all so we thought it would be fun to get away for the weekend and visit. Besides the poring rain and freezing weather we had a great time. Brooklynn enjoyed some swimming in the pool (even though she didn't leave the steps even with all her floatation devices on- she has become a lot more comfortable in the pool swimming all summer)

Getting ready to hop in

The girls did great on the long drive up- movies, snacks, and drinks and they were in heaven!

We went and visited Shosone Falls and I couldn't believe how full it was!

Brooklynn, Taylor, and Jackson

I didn't get any pictures of the graves because it was raining/snowing and freezing cold so we weren't there very long but we still had a great weekend with the family!!
