Makayla's school Christmas program.....

This was my favorite prop! How cute are those glasses to sing Rudolph the Red- Nosed Reindeer in?

I love how little kids pose between each song. They are all so cute!

What could make Jingle Bells even better..... how about some bells!

The little girl sitting next to Makayla is the grand-daughter to my sixth grade teacher. What a small world. Makayla did such a great job learning all of the songs, of course she did get a "little" distracted by Mr. Grinch. He was sitting in a chair not far from her.

Oh Christmas Tree.....

For FHE last week, we FINALLY decorated our Christmas tree. It's been up for a few weeks, but we just hadn't gotten around to decorating it. The girls had so much fun helping Tim and I put all of the ornaments on the tree!

Gingerbread houses with Granny.....

Here are the girls with their houses!

Kaitlyn "posing" with her Gingerbread house.

Makayla with her Gingerbread house.

The final product! The girls had so much fun at Granny's house decorating Gingerbread houses with their cousins. Thank you mom for ALL of the time you took to bake the Gingerbread, but the house together, and have all of the grandkids over to decorate it! You are such an amazing Granny, and we are so lucky to have you!

How you know you're taking to long getting ready.....

I started drying my hair the other day, and by the time I was done..... Brinley was out! I would like to think that she was just really tired.

How fast 6 months goes by.....

Our little Brinley is growing up too fast. She is started to sit up by herself, and making all kinds of noises.... including da da. A few weeks ago she started balancing on her dads hand! She even got her 1st ear infection this week, but as you can see by her "smurf" jammies.... She is still one happy little squirt! We love this little small fry :)

Halloween Fun.....

The girls had a great time trick-or-treating this year. Makayla went as a Sugar Plum Fairy, Kaitlyn was Strawberry Shortcake, and Brinley was our Pea in a Pod!

Fun in St. George......

For UEA weekend we headed to St. George with Tim's parents. The weather was great, and the kids had a fun time at the pool! They love getting thrown up in the air by Timmy, and jumping in by themselves. Brinley even liked the pool, it was like being in a GIANT bathtub. We always have a great time when we go down there.

A weekend in Bear Lake.....

The girls had a great time 4-wheeling with everyone! Kaitlyn layed on the back of the 4-wheeler and slept the entire time. We also went boating while we were up there, and it was a little chilly went we first got out on the water. Ite warmed up though, and the water was awesome. We are so glad that P.W., and Paula invited us to their Lake House for the weekend. We had a great time, and hopefully we can do it again next summer!

Boating at Deer Creek.....

This was our last boating trip to Deer Creek for the summer! We always have a blast boating. Makayla started swimming in the water by herself last year, and by this trip Kaitlyn even started jumping off the boat into the water by herself. The grow up so quick! Brinley is good on the boat as well.

Makayla's 1st day of School

Makayla was so excited to start school this year. Unfortunately she had a bad reaction to her shots this year, and so she started school 2 days late. She is such a smart little girl, and is loving every day of school!
She also attends an Enhancement class twice a week. So two days a week for us are FULL days! It's been great for her because it keeps her busy with new stuff, and she loves to learn.

A fun night at the Ballpark.....

Just hanging out on the blanket!

Getting some sister kisses.... sometimes they are nice.

Makayla was in this contest with 5 other kids, and whoever could be the "craziest" was the winner, and.....

She WON!!! We got $50 worth of gift certificates to the California Pizza Kitchen. Way to go Kayla...

After the game, they had an awesome fireworks show. The girls loved it!!

Boating.....

Wakeboarding...... and getting a little air!!

Tubing is one of the girls favorite things to do on the boat.

Just relaxing.....

The handoff..... don't drop her.

St. George

1st time trying out the pool, not so fun.......

and then she decided it felt pretty nice!

Brinley spent the 1st little bit at the pool napping, how nice.

The girls love to go to this pool in St. George! It's a great escape from the 120* weather outside.

Brinley's Baby Blessing

On July 5th, we blessed Brinley! The blessing was amazing, and we were happy to share the day with close family. Thank you to everyone that was there to support our family on this special day!
