Brynlee's Birthday

Brynlee's birthday was super busy. We did manage to play with her for a little bit in the morning before all the craziness started. After balloons and breakfast, I left with Brooklyn for a girls date with my sisters and mom (see the next post). Josh and Brayden left shortly after for the BYU game. So Sean watched Brynlee until I got back and got her ready for her nap. After her nap we waited for Josh and Brayden to get home then headed downtown for Josh's cousin's wedding reception. We stopped at Walmart on the way home and then put the kids right to bed when we got home!

Brynlee's Birthday Eve

We knew we were super busy on Brynlee's birthday, so we decided to take the kids to Jungle Jim's the night before her birthday (gotta love having free passes!) The kids had a blast and it was fun just to have our little family there. 

Mission Reunion

My mission president has held mission reunions in Brazil the past couple of years. I was very excited when they announced they were having one here...at a hotel less than 5 minutes from our house! Of course Josh had a BYU game to go to, so he was only able to stop by for a few minutes. They said we could bring kids and they had a blast. Well, Brynlee...not so much. I had already had it planned that Sean or Rachelle would most likely need to come get her so they came and picked Bynlee up after the kids ate. Brayden and Brooklyn had a lot of fun the rest of the night on the bounce house, toys, and doing all the fun things they had planned. As for me, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing so many people from my mission, especially my president and his wife. It was an enjoyable evening!

School Fun Run

I had a really bad sore throat, so Josh took Brayden over to the school's fun run. Brayden had been excited for it all week. He's a little guy, but he sure is fast! He took 3rd place for the boys!!! Way to go Brayden!!!

The Counter

Brynlee LOVES to be on our counter. All. Day. Long. I can't keep her off of it. She's only fallen once and I caught her just in the nick of time. Brayden, ironically, decided to climb up on the counter a few weeks ago like Brynlee does. He fell off within seconds of getting on top. I couldn't help but laugh, since Bryn is on there ALL day and never falls. N-e way, after spilling her drink she decided she still wanted it. Nice form, Brynlee. Nice form.

Fernanda's Birthday

We had Josh's family over to our house to celebrate Fernanda's birthday. We had a ton of yummy food and it was fun to relax and hang out a bit. Happy bday Fernanda!

 Gotta love the belly shirt! And yes...she loved the ice cream cone.

Photo Shoot / Fernanda's Birthday

The kids were so cute I tried to take a few pictures after church. This pictures sums up how it went:

 We invited the Ericson's over to our house to celebrate Fernanda's birthday. We had a great bbq for dinner, cake, presents, and ice cream. It was a lot of fun!
