{Father's Day}

 For Fathers Day this year we went and spent the day up in Yellowstone Park.  We picked up a pizza (that was SO good BTW) in West and drove into the park.  We saw lots and lots of buffalo and a few elk but no bear...dang I really wanted to see some bears!  We didn't drive in past Old Faithful though because we had Reese stay with Broc's mom.  It was really fun though and the kids really enjoyed it.  I hope we can do it again this year and drive further in.

Great Fathers Day overall!  I think Broc enjoyed it;)

{First's...and Last's}

This is Payson's LAST time in the bouncer (which should have been 3 years ago) But he couldn't and can't resist trying any new toy that I bring out for Reese.  He still loves to be babied....I mean, look at that face.  How could i resist?

 On the other hand, it was her first time in the bouncer!  She didn't know what to think at first but now she is a pro.  She talks and coos at her toys, it is so cute.  She is such a sweet baby.  And yes, she has red hair.  Everyone asks where it came from.  Broc's gma Genta had red hair.  It's getting lighter though so i'm thinking it will go blonde like Payson's.  He also had red hair when he was a baby but he didn't have very much hair at all!  Reese is about 4 1/2 months old, a little over that actually but she is growing like a weed.  She gets her 4 month shots tomorrow, which i have totally delayed getting because I do not want to take her:(  Poor thing.  Wish us luck!

I could kiss those cheeks all day long!

{Happy 6th Brylee!}

I'm sorry my camera has not taken the best pics but here is a late post on Brylee's birthday which was June 3rd.  She did a little friend party.  We made bracelets and necklaces, painted nails, had pizza and played and had cake!  She loved it!  She has some cute friends.  They were all so excited and had a blast!  She is now the big 6!  And she thinks its so great that she has a baby sister, she feels so big.   

 She got a new bike!  and also a barbie projector.  She loves anything art!

 slap watch!

 Making jewelry!

 getting her nails painted!

 She got spoiled from her cute friends!

Love you Brylee Jo!

{Payson's Graduation}

Our Sweet Payson graduated from his first year of Preschool in May.  We love this little guy so much, they don't come much sweeter than him.  He is so quiet and shy and tenderhearted but he is also super smart and is coming out of his shell more and more.  He listened really well and has shared some fun things with us that he learned in Preschool.  He gets to do 5 day a week preschool this year and he can't wait.  We are so proud of you Pays!!!

Swimming Lessons

I can't Believe this is all the pics I took. These two took a two week swim session at the new water park here in Rexburg and they loved it!

{Our Kindergarten Graduate!}

Brylee graduated from Kindergarten back in May! (that is how far behind I am:) ) She was so cute. She LOVED Kindergarten. She had the greatest teachers, Mrs. Judy and the aid was Mrs. Dick. Her teachers put on the cutest little graduation with lots of singing and a fun DVD that they made of the year that I was able to get. I am so excited to have that for memories sake. First grade here she comes!!! (sorry lots of pics)

{A gift from brother}

I just had to share some sweet pics of Reese I forgot I took a few weeks ago. She was sleeping in her swing and Payson put her bear next to her that he picked out for her, while I was in the hospital. He brought it to her when he came to meet her for the first time. It's the cutest, softest pink bear. She loves anything soft to be close to her face while she sleeps. She is our little cuddle bug! She already loves her gift from her brother!

{Swing Time!}

This was when Reese was about 3 months old, I finally dusted off the old swing and brought it upstairs for her to use. She didn't love it much at first and still doesn't last long in it but it's great to have for when I need to cook dinner or take care of the other two kids. She still loves her bouncer and still sleeps in it...I know it's going to be a pain to get her to sleep on her mattress after being used to the bouncer but HEY, she sleeps through the night every night so why on earth would I change her routine?? It might cost me later but oh well:)

Brylee ALWAYS wants to be in pics with Reese;) Even when she is eating a huge ice cream sandwich.

I LOVE this baby!

also I think I might close my blog back up since I really use it for journaling and it seems like no one reads it anyways;)
