Cabin Trip - Day 1

We all made it up to the cabin last night and enjoyed hanging out and catching up. Today we spent a lot of time playing and relaxing. Lots of 4-wheeler rides, movies, and playing at the park. We loved every minute of it! (Brayden went to Idaho with my parents for the weekend so he could see the great solar eclipse on Monday.)

Brooklyn's Birthday

Like any kid, Brooklyn has been counting down the days for her birthday! She loved her new bday outfit, even if it was a little warm for long sleeves. She had a great day at school and enjoyed a relaxed afternoon. For the evening we headed to the Brewer family reunion where we ate dinner and played a bunch of carnival games. They recognized Brooklyn bc it was her bday and she loved all the attention. From there we headed up the canyon to go to the cabin. We invited a couple of Josh's buddies from work to bring their families up with them.  

Celebrating Brooklyn's Birthday

We have a family reunion tomorrow on Brooklyn's birthday so we decided to celebrate it tonight. We headed to Chuck-a-rama for dinner then stopped of at the Ericson's to open presents. Among other things I got her a sewing machine and she is super excited! Now we will need to learn to use it!

Celebrating Sammie's Birthday

This is always a hard day every year. Rachelle and Sean spent the afternoon cleaning Sammie's headstone and spending time at the cemetery. We invited them to join us in the evening for our annual balloon release so they came as well as my mom. We all wrote notes to Sammie and tied them onto balloons. We sang to Samantha, shared memories, and released the balloons. It was peaceful and nice to spend that time together remembering our little angel. 

Britney

When it is quiet for too long, I go to investigate. I found Britney in the sink washing her feet with her Oaf soap. She is always way too cute to get mad at, so again I just grabbed my camera to take some pics. I left her to continue playing bc she was being so good and having so much fun.
