Go UNICORNS!

Brooky's first game was Saturday, September 10th... her first game with "Coach Bryce"! LOL

Go Brooky!

Circus Fun!

We went to the circus and met up with Lindsey and Josh, Hannah and Owen.  The kids had a blast! Of course, they had to ride the elephant... well, Brynn was over on the ponies.

Before kitty faces...

and AFTER!

Snow cones!!! Thank you Josh, for being the table.

Joey and Owen liked playing peek a boo underneath the sign!

3 cuties!

AZ Sunsets = THE BEST!

Brooky noticed this one... she yelled, "Mom - get the camera!" She knows me too well. We went out on the balcony and took some pictures. It was beautiful... but almost every night is!

Here Comes The Bride...

When we got married in 2013, I had my dress fitting in May and I remember Brynn wanting to try on my dress. I have always loved this picture - it's so Brynn... a little princess and just so in her glory in this dress. I thought about this picture a few months ago and put it on my list to take a picture of Brooky in my dress too. I thought it would be so special to give this to them years down the road! 

Well, here's Miss Brooklyn's photo shoot. SO her!!! Miss sassy pants. 

I love these pictures even more because you could look at these pics without even knowing them but just feel their personalities shine through. Too funny!

Our Handsome, Sweetest, Best Little Man!

Joey's not off to school yet (thank goodness!) but we can have a special section for him as well - especially since he is just the cutest thing and I am obsessed LOL. He loves to wear glasses and hats around... must get that from Brooky!

He loves to feed Jack - Lily too. 

He LOVES Special K!

and he really likes going to bed these days. I think because he loves to snuggle with his jaguar, giraffe and blanket! So sweet.

Happy Birthday Daddy!T

The girls wanted Daddy to have a "Cardinal's" Party! They wanted to go all out with the decorations but I was able to get by with the minimum and they were ok with that!

Joey might just not be a fan of birthday's!

He does clap at the end of the song now so that's progress. Maybe it's the candles - he looks a little concerned! Will be interesting to see what he does on his birthday this year!
Happy Birthday Daddy - we love you!

Brooky's Turn! First Day at Desert Sage - August 15, 2016

Brooky's first day with Ms. Tricia - she's been waiting for school to start since school let out last year!

She loves her new PJ Mask backpack!

Here's the bus!

There she goes! Have a great day Brooky!

First Day of Kindergarten! Class of 2029...

Reading "The Night Before Kindergarten"... we were all very excited!

It's time for school!

She couldn't wait to go

We're on our way!

At her table coloring her first picture in kindergarten

Brynn and Mrs. Miller.

Where are we now??! We had a rough start to kindergarten. She was so sad that the day was so long and she wouldn't get to spend much time with her family anymore... she also isn't too fond of some of the boys in her class & in the beginning the cafeteria was too big for her and the ceilings were too high! "Centers" are also not her favorite things. We've been at it over a month now and she is just starting to enjoy school. Yay! We made it! I know she will have a great year and she has some really sweet girls in her class. Hopefully she'll make some lifelong friends!

We Have a SIX Year Old!

August 8, 2016 - I'm SIX!!

We decorated her chair and had a present ready for her in the morning... Brynn LOVES birthdays!

This was her birthday wish... but she showed up on our block wall 2 months early - June 6th! Miss Lily.

Auntie was here and wanted to spoil the kitty so they all went shopping and came back with LOTS of kitty toys and this tower. We told Bryce it wasn't too big! lol

Cinnamon Rolls for a birthday snack!

We did some swimming and had our own little pool party

Cheese!!

We opened presents all day long!

and then we had birthday cupcakes!

Such a fun day!

Happy Birthday Brynn!!! You will have so much fun being 6! We love you!!

All Fairies Welcome!

Party day is here! Brynn waits all year for this...

Auntie came prepared... fairy costume and all. and let's not forget the glitter. Brynn is getting me ready!

The house is decorated...

The cake is here...

and Brynn can't wait to see her friends!

Here's most of the gang with our special guest "Auntie the Fairy"!

We played pin the star on the wand...

Fairy Plinko (I love the wings!) and we also played Pass the Fairy Wand!

Uncle Lance did a few magic tricks while we were getting the pizza ready

I love everyone's faces here ... it looks like they're all worried that Bryce might drop the cake!

Make a wish beautiful Brynn!

Hannah's ready to dig in!

and the grand finale?! PRESENTS!!!

Her new fairy garden!

and horses!

She has such great friends!

Brynn and Zavier....

Me and my little man!

She had a wonderful day!
