Random September 2012

 

 

My cute Girlies! I am trying not to dress them totally alike, although, I think it is adorable. I do have my childhood memories of it being so embarassing. So I coordinate their outfits!

 
 

 

Thank goodness for our playroom in the basement.

 

 

The kids LOVE it so much!

 

 

McKenna mostly plays with the babies! And pretends to be a baby.

 

 

When Cameron gets worn out, he likes to lay and watch a movie on the bed.

 

 

Poor McKenna got sick!

 

 

The girl is exhausted, but just wants to sleep.

 

 

She falls asleep every where!

 

 

Even on Grandma's shoulder. We found out that she had an ear infection. YUCKY!

 

 

Cameron has started to discover Dinosaurs. He even watched a documentary on them. Maybe it will be something that he will really get into.

 

 

Daddy and Brooklynn doing homework together. Oh the joys in life!

Brave- September 2012

 

 

I took Brooklynn and Cameron to the movie Brave. After seeing it Brooklynn decided that she wanted to be Merida for Halloween.

 

 

 

I knew that it would be a popular costume and so we went to Target right after and bought the wig and bow and arrow.

 

Brooklynn's Dance - September 2012

 

Brooklynn went to our Stakes Dance Co-Op again. She gets really nervous and shy, but is doing a little better.

 

 

 

She made some friends, but still likes me to stay with her.

Cameron started Preschool!

 

Cameron started Preschool at Miss Amy's. Brooklynn went to her too and loved her.

 

 

We read The Kissing Hand. It is a great book that helps kids when they go to school and are nervous. (still Brooklynn's 3rd year in school I kiss her hand every day for her to save if she needs it.)

 

 

With Brooklynn in school all day and Cameron gone 2 days a week we have more McKenna/Mommy time.

Brooklynn- First Grade

 

 

Brooklynn started First Grade! I can't believe she is going to school all day. She was nervous, but also brave. I had to be there the first day, so I hobbled my swollen tummy and arm to her school. We went to pick her up and she wasn't where she was supposed to be. We didn't know what to do. Ryan got out and started looking for her. Then we parked and I got out and went to her door, she wasn't there either. I went inside the school looked in her class and there was no sign of her or her teacher. As I was making my way to the front office I saw her with the Principle and her teacher. Phew! Thank goodness. Her teacher thought that she was riding the bus and took Brooklynn there, but there was no bus number on her paperwork. So she waited at the office. I am glad that they took good care of her. It scared Brooklynn and little, but it gave us a lot to talk about and made a plan. I am so proud of my Brooklynn Rylee!

End of Summer Fun!- Summer 2012

 

 

Brooklynn and I went school shopping and then grabbed lunch!

 

 

Love my cute, crazy girl!

 

Brooklynn tried on these crazy shoes at the store. (We did not get them) But we did get McKenna some cute sparkly shoes.

 

 

McKenna got her first haircut. With what little hair she had.

 

At the Elementary Open House, Brooklynn got to meet her first grade teacher Kylee Hansen. We can tell we will like her a lot.

 

Brooklynn's {half} Birthday Party!

 

Since Brooklynn's birthday is December 28th it is a hard time to have a birthday party with friends. So we decided to do a half birthday.

 

 

Brooklynn invited some of her closest friends in the neighborhood to have a "late" over.

 

 

 

Brooklynn got a lot of fun gifts.

 

 

Each girl got a little gift bag with some treats and a necklace.

 

 

They had fun playing the rest of the night. 

 

 

 

Tina's baby

 

My cousin Tina was pregnant with her first baby. Brooklynn was so excited to learn that they were decorating her baby's room with owls like Brooklynn's.

 

 

 

Brooklynn decided to draw Tina a picture to hang in the baby's room. It was so cute.

 

Summer started...

 

Summer began and so did the fun.

 

 

We went to my mom's and the kids played in tents.

 

 

 

 

McKenna liked looking at the fire.

 

 

Cameron wanted to touch the fire. Which stressed me out.

 

 

Brooklynn and Caleb liked the fire as well.

 

 

Mr. Luke scared me so bad around the fire.

 

 

At least his dad was around him.

 

 

Grandpa Budd came out to join the fun. Grandma stayed inside though.

 

 

Luckily Cameron calmed down which made me feel better. Ryan was at work so it was all me watching these two.  Brooklynn ended up sleeping over with her cousins.

 

 

It was field day at school. Brooklynn waiting with all her friends at the bus stop.

 

 

The end of school came and we are so proud of how far Brooklynn and Cameron came. Cameron was just going to a co-op preschool and Brooklynn was in Kindergarten.

 

 

Wheeler Farm with Brooklynn

 

May (something or other) 2012 I went with Brooklynn and the whole Kindergarten to Wheeler Farm.

 

 

The kids were so cute and it was fun seeing Brooklynn and all her friends.

 

 

Brooklynn and Jake were so cute! (Not her boyfriend, just a friend.)

 

 

The learned  a lot of new things.

 

 

One of the kids favorite is getting a picture on the tractor.

 

 

It was a fun day!
