Summer!

This Summer Brandon has started taking Tae Kwon Do and he loves it! 

Brighty just can't get enough of Brandon's homemade popsicles. Her poor little lips and fingers get so red from the cold, but that doesn't stop her!

We were SO lucky to have Aunt Angie and cousin Lily come to visit us for a week! Smoothies in fancy glasses is always fun. :)

Lily requested that we play the flour game and the water game! Two family favorites!

She was such a good sport even with her face full of flour! :)

While Aunt Angie was here she taught Brighty how to bathe in the BIG tub! No more sink for her!

Crazy kiddos playing in the crib!

We had chocolate fondue one of the nights Lily was here...so fun and yummy. 

Summer is almost over and we cannot believe it! Our time with family has been so special. Thank you Angie and Lily for coming to stay with us! We love you!! Now come back! :)

10 months!

It's crazy but true...our little stinker is ten months old. She is so funny, loud, curious, unafraid, persistent, social, smart and beautiful. We love how she can wave. She waves at everyone and everything. She is crawling SO fast these days and loves to make her way into the bathroom to unroll all the toilet paper. She loves exploring in Brandon's room and loves tasting his Pokemon cards. :) She gives the best slobbery kisses. She is wearing 9-12 month clothes and she weighed 17.7 lbs about a week ago. She is still little, but she is healthy. :) We are so so blessed. 

Happy Happy 10 Months!

Okay so she did NOT like the festive boa I wrapped around her. Maybe because it's super itchy. 

Mean mommy! ;)

This mad face had nothing to do with the boa...

 Oh there is a happy smile! Thanks Brighty!

Happy 10 Months sweet girl!

4th of July!

It's always so fun to celebrate John's 4th of July birthday! We headed to So Cal for the big day. 

 John's family came to the beach to help us celebrate. :)

The brother-in-laws. 

We sure do love our little firecracker baby!

We got to spend lots of time with this little beach babe!

Brighty loved the sand. She crawled all over and even ate it twice! 

 We went to the Proctor's for some more family time. 

Cutie Breanna and Brighty having a GREAT time in the pool!

Brandon and Donovan (and a bunch of other cousins) had a ton of fun on the giant water slide!

Daddy loves his girl. 

It was a great little vacation full of family and fun. Brandon even stayed for a few extra days so he could have his extra cousin time! 

Mt. Wanda hike

It was a beautiful day for a hike. Mt. Wanda is super close to us and it's a pretty quick jaunt up the mountain. So we decided to grab Subway and head out. Brighty did NOT want to stay in her stroller so I ended up carrying her most of the way, ugh! Brandon was a great sport and pushed that big stroller much of the time. I just love that boy!

 He is also quite the photographer! He just snapped away and took a ton of pictures while we were out.

I love this one that Bran captured of Brighty's teeth! Those two top teeth just kill me! (She's got bread in her mouth, it just looks like she has molars!)

I love this one too. She adores her "Buh buh" and wont take her eyes off him.

Having his flat bread special. ;)

I love being able to hang out with my sweetie Brandon all day. Summer is so special.
