4th of July 2010

We had a long and super fun weekend!!! We had our traditional breakfast at my Dad's on Saturday which was also Addison's birthday. After that we came home to get ready for Addison's party! It was fun to have the family all together! Later that night we watched the Magna fireworks from our house and did some of our own!

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!

These pictures were taken the same day. I see a copy cat!

One last Hurrah for Summer! Now bring on FALL!!!!

This is one of my favorite times of the year. There is something about the chill in the air, pumpkin season, fall leaves and homeade soup that I love. Oh, besides being the start of all the holiday hoop-la, bring it on!

An apple a day....

well it kept the Dr. away, but not a little bad luck... :) (inside joke there).

Anyway, my little family and Lori went down to my Dad and Polly's to help pick apples on their two trees in the backyard! It really was very fun! Brooklyn is now a "Pro Apple Picker"!

Addison was a big helper too, she would put the apples that were on the ground in the buckets. She loved carrying them around and following her sister.

Dad and Polly, we had a fun fun time! Love you!

Park City weekend

For our anniversary Andy arranged for us to go the Park City for the weekend! He wanted to do the zipline, so we headed up to the Olympic Park. I was a wimp, and didn't go with Andy on the zipline. I was OH SO HAPPY to stay and take pictures. Besides we wanted pictures and I wouldn't just leave our camera behind with someone as we rode up the mountain....anyway there ya go! He had a blast!

Thanks for a fun weekend Andy!

24th fun!

Here are some pics from the 24th..... Tres, Mel & Hayden joined us for some food and fireworks!!

I love to see the Temple....

Last Friday we went to the Oquirrh Mtn Temple open house. What a beautiful temple! My girls were so good, of course until we were seated in a sealing room. Addison decided to show off her screaming skills and wanted to play! Nice! They really were good though! Brooklyn loved the chandeliers, but her favorite part was the water fountain outside! I know we went to the Timpanogos Temple open house when we were younger with my family, but this was an awesome experience as a mother to be able to take my own children! Who knows...maybe they will choose to get married there. It will be fun to share these pictures with them when they are older!

WOW........

it's really been more than a month since my last post. I must confess to my disappearance. I have found a new like for farming...... that is all!!!

We had a pretty busy May. Celebrated alot of May birthdays, went to Wheeler Farm with our friends, the Barnum's, and Memorial Day. We spent alot of time out working on the yard...it's definitely getting better. Of course lets not forget my everyday picture taking of my girls! Brooklyn and Addison amaze me everyday! Addison is going to be 1 year old in a month, and is learning new things. She has mastered her sippy cup, getting 4 teeth at once (which now totals 6), crawling & any day now....walking. Today in fact, she walked by herself holding onto a stroller. She gets into everything, and keeps us on our toes! Brooklyn is the BIGGEST helper! She loves being a big sister, and does all she can to help us out. She loves being outside and taking care of her flowers. She says the funniest things, and is so smart! She says when she grows up she wants to be a ballerina. (One day it was a firefighter....we'll see)
Let's re-cap with some pictures, shall we!

Through the years!

WoW! I had way to much fun with this!! How do we look???
I must say I am glad I didn't have to live through the "flat hair" phase!!! :) Ick!

Pumpkin Patch

This is our little trip to the pumpkin patch this year! Brooklyn would have taken every pumpkin if she could! We had a great time!

Like Father like daughter....

Need I say more? :)

Catch up on pictures.......

It's been awhile since I have put pictures on my computer from my camera, so I thought I would blog about some things that have happened the last few weeks.

My nephew Seth had a baseball game which Andy and Brooklyn went to. I didn't go, but it looks like he did a great job! I love the ones with his tongue sticking out. Oh, it was funny too, that same day Brooklyn and Andy matched....it was cute!

The last two weekends we have laid more sod in the backyard. Nothing too big, but enough for Brookie to play until we do it next year. While we were laying the sod, Brookie had the SMARTEST idea and got into her pool with her clothes on. It was a hot day! The next day she wanted to go and step on the grass with her feeties. She said to us....."I sure do like this grass"! That makes the hard work worth it!

Addison is starting to smile. It is so adorable. Of course we don't have the camera when she is doing the big grins, but we will be sure to post some when we get them. Here is what we have so far! There is also a picture of her in a hat that Grandma Becky made for her.

One more thing....we are trying to potty train Brooklyn. This is what I have been able to do so far. As long as she has a movie, snack, drink, and books she will sit on the potty. She actually has gone a few times, but still not quite there. Any suggestions?!? She seems to be ready, but still needs a little help.
