and last, but not least - the Blood Moon, Super Moon!

Very cool! Right from our driveway!

Sisters! Best Friends... (most) of the time

A Little of Everything! ... It's been a while since I updated...

Bryan celebrated her birthday at school on September 8th - she was SO happy!

Joey graduated to taking a bath in the big tub... in a laundry basket!

We did a little bubble science experiment at home since Brynn is not attending the "Mad Science Monday's" at her school yet (she's going to gymnastics instead). The girls loved it. It was all fun and games until...

Brooky sucked UP the straw instead! Yuck!

Bryan thought it was really cool!

Joey loves banging things with his hammer these days. Watch out!

CIRCUS Time!!

We went to the Shrine Circus in Scottsdale recently and had lots of fun. I love this circus because it's on a much smaller scale - although they have everything the big circus has, just no crowds! Kids get in free... BUT, you definitely pay for it once you get in! Lol. Brynn wanted her face painted this year!

Our little circus!

Brooky wanted to ride the elephant (of course!) - she got a front row seat!

The tigers!

Have you ever seen this many Elsa's?! The girls faces just lit up once they heard that song and saw a million Elsa's!

Brynn rode the pony! See you next year circus!

Apple Picking

Labor Day weekend we drove to go apple picking at Date Creek Ranch, north of Wickenberg. Literally in the middle of nowhere!

Good thing they had these signs because one would never know that there would be an orchard here...

There it is!

The festival was Saturday and Sunday and since we went on Sunday most of the apples were already picked. There were still apples high in the tree so Brooky came in handy!

Joey got one so he was a happy camper

After we had a little picnic - complete with apple cake - we drove back home. The car was a mess!

The girls loved washing the car when we got home!

10 Months!!!

This handsome guy is 10 months today and instead of sleeping this morning while both girls were in school, he wanted to stay up with Mommy! How could I be upset with a little face like this?! 

Getting ready to EAT! He loves to eat. On the menu for his 10 month celebration - pears and puffs! What more could you want? Well... I looked back and saw that his sisters were already eating pasta and peas. I guess it's time to give Joey a chance too instead of his baby food. Just this week he did show us that he's ready to start feeding himself. He grabs the spoon from me now and wants to take charge!

I also was reminded that both girls were already walking for their 10 month picture - crazy to think that!! I'm totally fine with Joey taking his time!

Little Brynn - 10 months

and Miss Brooklyn - 10 months

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Joey woke up extra early on Daddy's birthday so we decided to treat him to breakfast in bed!

The girls all helped out and we make special pancakes for Daddy's day.

Later that day we had a special surprise for Daddy - a water fight! We were just trying to be nice and make sure he wasn't too hot with the excessive heat we've been having!

The girls loved it and really got in to it! Bryce... not so much :)

We made it up to him with his cake.

Here's the "boss" making sure Daddy doesn't see his cake before it's ready

Make a wish Daddy! Happy Birthday!!
