These 2 girls absolutely love each other! Every time Madi sees Brooklynn she just lights up and gets the biggest smile on her face. They love to cuddle and give each other kisses! Even though they aren't that big you can already see the love they have between them and I couldn't ask for anything more :)

This is their favorite thing to do every morning!

Brooklynn always lays by her and tells me to take their picture cause they look so cute!

My Girls!

I can't even express how much I love these two girls! They are always making me laugh and smile and they bring so much happiness into our lives!

Madi loves to play with her fishies! I can't believe how big she is getting!

Brooklynn is always doing weird things (I think she gets it from her dad :)) She stuck this piece of candy on her forehead and thought she was so funny- which it was!

She loves to have me take pictures of her- here she is all dressed up for school

My sweet little Madi girl

Brooklynn LOVES to dress up! i can hardly ever keep normal clothes on her these days!

Bear Lake

At the end of August some of our great friends invited up to spend the weekend at their cabin in bear Lake. We had so much fun at the beach, riding on the boat and just hanging out as friends and the kids had a blast too!

I am way behind on all this so here's just a bunch of pictures!

Thank you for the great trip :)

Hike

When we were up at Bear Lake we decided to take the kids out on a little hike...

Here's the group (minus Bryce, he's taking the picture)

The kids all HAD to sit on the rock- it was just too tempting!

Bryce and his BFF :)

Brooklynn, Jaxon, and Caitlyn

Brooklynn and Jeffrey on a cool tree- they wanted to ride it!

Little miss awkward poser

She climbed up this huge tree

We hiked to the top to see this old tree that had a few trees all grown together. The kids had fun hiking up the mountain and I think we were glad when we reached the bottom :)

Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend!

I have been asking Bryce to get Brooklynn's ears pierced since she was a baby and he never would budge....until now! He finally said I could do and i jumped on it! I asked Brooklynn if she wanted pretty princess earings and she said "no i good-i have some" (the little clip on plastic hearts that came with her dress ups). I couldn't talk her into getting some real ones and I was afraid if I didn't do it that day Bryce would change his mind. She what did I do..... I bribed with a balloon! It works every time :) So we headed to the mall and got her some pretty little diamonds!

Waiting.... she was getting a little nervous, and she HATES anything touching her ears so I knew there would be a freak out. Luckily it only lasted a second and she was done screaming.

She absolutely loves them now and wouldn't stop looking in the mirrors!

Her lovely bribe!

And Madi's are next.....

Preschool!

My little girl is growing up so fast and I can't decide whether I am happy or sad...(maybe a little of both). She just started Preschool this week and she was so excited. She's going to the Bravo Arts Academy just down the street from us. They center their learning around art and music which Brooklynn loves both so we thought it would be prefect for her. She couldn't wait to go and kept making sure I was going to stay home and let her go all by herself, she felt like such a big girl.

Showing off her bag she painted

I had to snap a couple quick pictures of her in her classroom :)

We were so excited her and Jaxon ended up in the same class together :)

Camping

Lat weekend we went up to Crystal Hot Springs for our ward camp out. It was a lot of fun just hanging out with friends and enjoying the great outdoors :) Unfortunately we had a huge wind storm as we were going to bed and decided to pack up and head home at 1 in the morning since there was no way we were going to sleep through that!

Hanging out

The Gang Just Chillin

Brooklynn (she stole my drink and decided to take a break from her friends and drink it)

Brooklynn absolutely loves playing with her friends! They had so much fun playing chase and running around together.

Brooklynn and Jaxon were so cute together! I could just sit and watch them play all day long. They get so giggly when they're together :)

Not quite sure what this is?? Maybe teaching Brookylnn to pick her nose :)

One day they will get married!
