Brynn Turns 11

Our Sweetie Girl turned 11!! We had so much fun celebrating our favorite youngest daughter. 

We started out the fun festivities with dinner at Texas Roadhouse. Brynnli loves sitting on the saddle while they do the birthday shout out. 

Brynnli woke up early on her birthday and opened one of her presents and had her favorite cinnamon rolls for breakfast. 

She was so excited to open her Baby Alive doll that she has been waiting forever to have. 

If this picture doesn't describe Brynnli at 11 perfectly: she wanted fake nails for her birthday and also wanted toys. 

I brought donuts to her class at the end of the day and got to see them sing to her. 

When she got home from school Brynnli opened another present because she just couldn't wait any longer. 

Just swinging with her new baby!

Brynnli wanted stew and rolls for her birthday dinner and panookies for dessert. 

For Brynnli's friend party we got the party room at the pool and Brynnli and her friends had the best time swimming for hours. 

She got lots of cute gifts from her friends 

Cutest group of girls!

For Brynnli's family party we had pizza for dinner with the cutest fruit tray

Brynnli made her own game for the activity. She asked questions like, "what is my favorite animal" and "what is my least favorite condiment". Our family had to guess and the person with the highest score won. 

Tracy took 1st place and Colton got 2nd place. 

And if you're wondering, her favorite animal is a bee and her least favorite condiment is mustard! :)

Then she opened more presents. Brynnli is so loved and so spoiled. She got so many cute clothes and toys. 

Birthday buddies are the best. Grandpa Craig is 71 this year. 

 Oh Brynnli, we just love you so much and are so proud of the amazing young women you are becoming. We love how you always try your best in school and are learning so much everyday. You are so sweet and such a good friend and daughter. You are an amazing dancer and always push yourself to do better and improve. This has been a challenging year with a more strict teacher, a more advanced dance team, and all the stuff with your teeth, but you are handling each challenge with grace and determination. You are such a good example to all of us in the family of how to have a positive attitude during challenging times. You definitely teach us so much even though you are the youngest in our family. We love seeing what a great friend you are and how you always try to help your friends to be their best. We can't wait for all the fun things you have to look forward this year. We love you Brynnie Bear!!

September Happenings

Welcome to September! The kids are back in school, I'm back to work, and life is continuing like normal. Here's a look into our September: 

Brynn had an ortho appointment, so we went for lunch at Post Malone's Raising Cane's. It was a fun experience. 

I go over and help my dad and mom get ready for bed since he had his surgery. Bella came with me one night and thought she would make herself at home. She snuggled right up in my parent's bed. 

My poor dad is having a hard time sleeping since his surgery, so he sleeps in the recliner next to their bed. 

My dad was feeling better and needed to get out of the house so we picked them up and went for a quick ice cream outing. 

Another Saturday morning with another hike with Tyler. 

Cutie Caden with his cutie puppy. 

I got my hair done!

September 11 we put our flag up. 

Well, that's one way to get what you need, Brynn! Good thing Tyler built those shelves so we know they are sturdy. 

Caden had quite the cheering squad at his basketball game!

Brynnli got to do her birthday shop with Grandma and Grandpa. She picked out so many fun toys. Then we went to dinner at Cafe Rio. 

Well check ups for all three kids. Dr. Zarbock is our favorite and he turned the check up into a competition for the kids. They all did great and survived their shots. 

Bella is just the cutest. You can usually find her snuggled up in her heated puppy pad. 

Brynn and Makayla participated in the Bingham mini minerettes. They both did such a great job!!

We went to the last Bingham football game. It was homecoming and Bingham won!!

The girls got their dance pictures done. I love them and can't believe how talented and flexible our girls are!

Brynnli got these pajamas from our neighbor and even though they are way too big for her, I can't help but laugh every time she comes out wearing them like this. 

Makayla had a deformity... not a cavity in her tooth that had to be filled. She did great at getting her first filling and didn't even realize they gave her a shot to numb her up. Since this is technically a deformity, Makayla can still claim to be cavity free. 

Thanks for joining us for our September happenings. Join us for more family fun.
