Happy Fall Ya'll!

September may have been the busiest month with school, Disneyland, and birthday parties, but here's some pictures that didn't make it into our other posts: 

We went up to The Land for (no)Labor Day. We had a great time as usual. 

I love this picture of Brynn feeding Snowflake. She was so excited to see him.

We went to get pizza and fed the deer. The kids were a little hesitant at first, but they eventually were all brave enough to let the deer eat out of their hands.

Camden and Brynnli had so much fun together one morning. They were wrestling each other, and when I took Brynnli off Camden, Camden started to cry because he wanted her to jump on him again.

September was full of other fun things like: Legos

Makayla built this one to be like "The Claw" from Toy Story... pretty good imagination if you ask me!

Daddy was out of town a lot this month, so the kids got to sleep in our bed.

Grandpa Craig had knee surgery again so I told Makayla to draw him a picture for his get well card. She didn't know what to draw so I told her to draw Grandpa with a cast on his knee. Either Makayla is confused where knees are, or Grandpa had a very different surgery!

I tried my hair curly one day... not my favorite look, but worth posting.

Somebody let Brynn eat the markers again. Where are that kid's parents?

Caden and Daddy got to go to the Real soccer game.

So the girls went to get frozen yogurt.

I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but I got called to be in the Young Womens as the Mia Maid Advisor. I absolutely love this calling and feel so lucky to work with these young girls. They are so hilarious and fun. We had a color war night and then they were just being crazy afterwards.

We went for a few walks this month now that the weather is a little more bearable. Oh, love these cuties.

Doesn't every body eat cupcakes without their shirts on?

But I think we may need to find Caden some boys to play with. One day the kids were upstairs playing and they came down like this. Oh, Buddy! I love him!

We met Hannah for lunch one day because we always to to the Arctic Circle right by Copper Hills High School. We had fun chatting it up with her. 

 I love these two cuties!

 Especially when they are being sweeties to each other.

 Makayla dressed up like Minnie Mouse one day.

Whelp, I guess that's all! Happy Fall, ya'll!

This Little Love Bug is 2!

Our Little Love Bug is TWO! How can this be? 

We decided a 2nd birthday deserved a ladybug themed party. 

The whole day Brynnli would say, "Hap Bir Me!" She is seriously adorable!! 

We spent the day grocery shopping for her party, taking a little nap, and then when Daddy got home from work we went to dinner at Red Robin. After dinner Brynn finally got to open her presents.

She got a Doc McStuffins toy, dress up princesses, and some clothes.

The next day (Saturday) was her party. It was touch and go on the weather, so we decided to set things up in the basement. Here's some of her decorations, which I think turned out so stinkin' cute!

About 5 minutes before the party was about to start, Tyler said that it was perfect weather, so at the last minute we took everything outside. So Brynn got two set ups!

Aren't these cupcakes adorable?

The Birthday Girl herself

Some of the party guests, AKA family...

We decided to have a pinata this year, so Tyler came up with the idea to hang the pinata from our bonus room... I tell ya, that man is a genius!

The pinata was a HUGE hit!

After the pinata we opened presents

Aunt Karen gave her this skirt, so Brynn had to put it on right then. She was so proud of herself and strutted around like she owned the place.

Brynnli was spoiled with a lot of cute clothes, jammies, toys, a walking puppy, a Minnie Mouse microwave, and money.

Then we sang to our little cutie and she got to blow out the candle on her cupcake.

The cupcakes got the stamp of approval from Brynn.

Thanks so much to our family for being so great to our little Brynnie Bear!

Some things I love about Brynnli at two years old: 

At her 2 year check up she in the 15% for weight and was in the 60% for height. 

She is the most stubborn two year old I have ever met. She insists on doing things on her own and when she doesn't get what she wants she throws monumental temper tantrums. I even asked the doctor how to handle it and he just told me some toddlers are more stubborn than others. Great. 

She is stubborn, but she is also sweet. She loves to cuddle and gives some of the best hugs and kisses around. 

Brynn talks in full sentences now, and it seems Tyler, Makayla, Caden, and I are the only ones who understand her. We often have to translate for other people. 

When someone leaves she asks, "be back?" 

She tattles on her brother and sister by saying, "Buddy and Kayda did dat me!" 

She gives the dirtiest looks around... seriously, if looks could kill!

If we do some thing she doesn't like she scowls and says, "so mad at you!"

She rarely eats. I have no idea how she survives on milk and Cheese-its. 

I think she's ready to be potty trained, but I just don't want to yet, so diapers it is for a few more months. 

Oh Brynnie! I love my sweet girl and just can't believe you are two. I remember so vividly when we found out you were a girl. The rush and excitement was indescribable, and now you've become a funny, energetic, crazy, sweet toddler. I love to see you learn and try new things. Even though I find it frustrating, I love that you are determined and have a little mind of your own. You are the perfect completion to our family. I love that you love your "Buddy" and how you adore and mimic "Sissy". I especially love when I get to spend time with just you when the other two are at school.  I am so excited to see the cute little girl you will become and love to watch you learn and grow. 

Happy Birthday Brynnie Bear!
