8 month Old………………..

HOLY COW….. where does the time go ??? My baby is 8 months old…. WOW.

She is still the BEST BABY EVER!!!!! We love her SO SO SO much

She was amazing on our 14 hour drive to Oregon and 16 hour drive home. I am glad she did so good as we will be making this trip lots to see Aunt Kate - whom we miss A TON!!!! ( – and Kendall too :)

At work they are putting together cookbooks to sell to raise money for the parent support group in the NICU. They decided since our ENTIRE focus is babies that they would take pictures of employees' babies who worked in the unit and put them in the cookbook. Lisa Paskins did an AMAZING job taking the pictures. Here are a few of Brynlee,

Since summer is here so is the warm weather, FINALLY, and so it is time to swim!!!! Brynlee Boo loves the water!!!

In the pool or lake…..she does not care… she loves the water.

Brynlee loved Aunt Jenna’a Graduation

Brynlee can hold her own …she can’t pull her self up yet but is so close :)

She Loves her food and eats great!!! She is super close to crawling…but I am content to wait. I love my non-mobile baby girl :) Brynlee also was an angel at Kate’s wedding. We have not got the pictures from that yet, so I will post them when we get them.

Brynlee waves and claps (or tries to). She loves to wave at Jordan. She is for sure a DADDY'S GIRL!!!! They are so cute together.

She is getting so big!!!! Being a mom is the best!!! I love her so much :) Keep growing baby girl!!!!

Salt Lake Adventure

Brynlee and I went on an Adventure to Salt Lake. We rode the Frontrunner / TRAX down to Salt lake to have lunch with Jordan. We went to The Garden for an Anniversary Lunch :) Lunch was good minus the 10 minutes of fire alarms we had to endure.

Brynlee slept most of the ride down.

Lunch with Daddy

After lunch, we rode TRAX up to Primary Children's to visit Mother since she was working.

Then we met daddy and rode home.

Brynlee LOVED the train and would giggle as she watched things go by out the window. It was a fun day :)

Preview of Kate’s Wedding

We have not got the pictures from the photographer yet, so these are just some Mother took.

The Squire Family :)

It was such a awesome/busy day. I can’t wait for the pictures :)

Boating at Willard

WE went boating on Saturday with the Squire fam. Brynlee LOVED IT!!!! – the life jacket was not her favorite. But she loved the boat. Brynlee LOVES the water.

The fam at the lake

She absolutely LOVED the water :) ( thanks Alysia and Izzy for letting us borrow the turtle)

The water was a little cold so we decided to get her out. and let her play.

The cleanest way to share a thin mint cookie with Brynlee :)

We had a blast!!! Thanks Kim and Nancy for the fun day at the lake :)

3 years and Counting….

3 Years ago today Jordan and I were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple.

It was an awesome day. Every thing went perfect !!!!

We have had SO SO SO much fun over the past 3 years. we bought our house, I graduated from school, and we have been on LOTS of fun trips.

But the best thing that has happened to us in the past 3 years is this……………..

Our baby girl BRYNLEE

WE LOVE our little family.

Thanks babe for the last wonderful 3 years of being my hubby!:) you are the best and I am so excited for the ETERNITY to come :)

Oregon Adventure

Bright and early (4:00 am) Friday, June 4th we started a quick trip to Oregon. Kate,who got married on the 11th, moved up there with her honey who is in med school. I was somewhat worried about Brynlee and a 13+ hour car ride. But I should not be surprised that she was an ANGEL and not a single tear was shed.

We left our house at 4am. Jordan very carefully put Brynlee in her car seat, so she would stay asleep, and we were off. This was Brynlee at about 9 am in Winnemucca NV when she finally woke up.

We stopped in Winnemucca and had breakfast. I just fed Brynlee and we were off again.

Our next stop was a small town. It did have a a gas station so that is good. Brynlee got to eat her fruit for lunch.

Between Winnemucca and Medford Oregon there were 0 fast food restaurants...

so we had to stop at this mom and pop style diner for lunch. It was not so good….

We pulled into Medford at about 6pm. My family was still a few hours behind us. So we decided to kill some time by going to see the Medford temple. Brynlee loved playing on the grass outside. I think she was just grateful to be out of the car.

We finally got to Aunt Kate’s new place. It is a nice town house with 3 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths. Jordan improvised shower rings with duct tape. ( some things never change)

Aunt Kate had no idea she had a Brynlee bath tub. Brynlee LOVED her bath.

Taking a nap with aunt Kate ( the thing they do best together) Brynlee will for sure miss her Nap buddy….

We took Brynlee to the park. She LOVED The swing and the slide.

Next we went to the Mall for lunch. Brynlee LOVED the Orange Julius. I was feeding her little tastes with the straw and the next thing I new she had sucked the whole straw full.

We left bright and early Sunday morning at 4 AM. Brynlee was such a trooper and did great.

This is how she spent the car time….. happy or asleep.

We are so excited for Kate but are already missing her lots. Oregon is not too far away…. but I definitely will NEVER make the round trip in 3 days again ……. You should stay somewhere longer then it took to get there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
