Happy 7th Birthday Brynn!!!

Sunday, August 6th - Brynn's Mermaid Bash!

We were all ready - just waiting on one thing...

THE WATER SLIDE!!!  All the kids (& some big kids) loved this!!! It was so fast and fun!

Happy Birthday Brynn! I can hardly believe you're 7.  You are so special and full of so much love and we love you so so much! Have a great birthday!!

Joey and Owen

Best buddies! Brynn said this was the best birthday party yet! I have to agree, it was pretty fun!

One Last Trip to Celebrate Summer!

We finally decided to tag along with Daddy for one of his work trips. It was nice to enjoy the beach again and some cooler weather. Joey's favorite part is always the airplanes and the busses!

The girls were super excited. Brynn had one thing on her mind... THE CASTLE!

We went to Laguna Beach the first day and then Dana Point the second day. On our last day we all went to Newport Beach before we went to the airport. That beach was nice with no seaweed but the water was COLD!

Brynn is a mermaid. She wanted to go way out there and boogie board. Next year!

We got a chance to meet Daddy's friends and play a bit!

We also had breakfast with the characters! So fun!!

Everything was Mickey!

Joey is in LOVE with Mickey Mouse! Here he is giving Minnie a squeeze and Mickey is photo bombing in the back! He even walked up to Mickey all by himself and cut in line for another hug!

After breakfast Brynn was on a mission...

The lego store!

The bag was heavier than she thought!

The very next morning after getting home, she started!

21 hours later, her masterpiece is complete!
It's amazing! She worked so hard on it and
it took her 2 1/2 days!

My Oh My - Times Sure Does Fly!

This popped up on FB the other day... 4 years ago. We were headed to the beach to have a day of fun, after dealing with all of the things with Pop Pop. The girls were 1 1/2 & almost 3. 

and 4 years later!

These 3 are the best!

Our First Try at "Summer Camps"

Bryan's friend Isabella wanted to do ice skating camp for a day with Brynn - so we gave it a shot! Here they are at 7:45am being goofy before we took off! They had a blast on the ice all day!

Since Brynn was ice skating, Brooklyn was in heaven at Princess Camp!! It really was the cutest thing. It went on all week but we started with Wednesday and "Princess Belle". She was beautiful - Brooky too!

Fun Fact... this girl is actually going to represent Arizona in the Miss America pageant in September in NJ! How cool!

All the princesses. They got their hair done, make up, learned princess etiquette, made crafts and sang and dance. All the things Brooklyn loves. They also ate lunch there. 

Day #2 - MOANA!

DAY #3 - Rapunzel!! She was already in her dress at 6am!

So cute!

She even got to wear Rapunzel's crown! Best.Camp.Ever!

Summer Fun!

We've had so much fun this summer, I don't want it to end! We've done a bunch of fun outings and have really enjoyed each other. Here's a little down dog at "Jump Street"

We've had birthday parties... lots of candy and even cotton candy!

We've been goofy...

and crazy!

We've celebrated a 1/2 birthday because apparently 5 1/2 is a BIG BIG deal! (I think she just wanted to sucker us in to a cake!)

Joey is super silly and has become interested in his potty! LOL

and we've done lots and lots of swimming!!! The kids are all doing so well in the pool.

We've shared lots of hugs!

and great times together!

a little dress up...

and TONS of extra kisses!!!

XOXOXOXOXO - we love you summer!

They've also rock climbed - and they're really good at it!

Almost to the top... go Brooky!

We've even been bowling. It's not everyday you get to see someone bowling in their wedding dress!

Brynn caught on pretty quickly and didn't want to use the little ramp... it might have taken 20 minutes for the ball to reach the pins - but it was fun!

Brooklyn's BFF Marlee was there so she must dress to impress! Lol
