Fair Time

I have loved going to the Grace fair for as long as I can remember. It was kind of sad this year without a carnival and for the rodeo to be moved to the middle of the week. Cole didn't get home til Friday so we didn't get to go as a whole family, but Brook and I went to some of the happenings. On Saturday Brook rode Annie in lead line along with 5 of her cousins. I loved getting Brook all dressed up and seeing her reaction to the rodeos and her cousins. It was a great week, but I'm glad it's over. Til next year....

Camping in the Beaver Dams

Every year on the 24th of July our family goes camping on my dad's place up in the Beaver Dams. We always have so much fun and enjoy each other's company. There is always something to do from riding horses and Brandon's 4 wheelers, to hiking, and of course chasing the cows out of camp! I love this tradition and get so excited to go every year. This year Cole had to work the day we set up camp so I had to do it by myself. I had a much greater appreciation for the wonderful husband I have and for all that he does for me. Brook loved camping and going for horse rides. She even rode Cole's horse Boone, who is just starting out but proving to be a great horse.

Swimmin' at Bear Lake

We got all of the nieces and nephews together this summer and went swimming to Bear Lake. Brook is such a water baby and she loves playing with her cousins. She had a fun time but ended up not feeling so great and napped most of the day in the chair. We ended up going to Logan to the doctor that day, since it was almost the weekend and I didn't want a sick baby all weekend long. Right as we got to the door's of the instacare Brook started throwing up all over me and down my leg. Yes, it was fabulous. Try walking in flip flops full of puke. Not a fun experience. But here are some fun pictures before the yuckiness occurred.

The Fourth of July

Wow! I am really late at getting this posted! Life has been super crazy lately and we just got moved into our new place in Preston for who knows how long so be prepared for blogger mania catch up. For the 4th we went to the parade in Soda and then to the fireworks up in Idaho Falls. Brook had a lot of fun at the little carnival at the Soda park but didn't dig the fireworks so much this year. Brook got to ride on a mini Ferris wheel with Sydnee and she thought that was pretty much awesome.

Playing with Cousins!

Brook absolutely loves playing with Sydnee and Chase. Whenever we go somewhere she is always asking if Sydnee is going to be there. This morning Andrea and I went for a walk and the kids decided they needed to walk to. It was so cute. Brook grabbed Sydnee's hand and then hollered for Chase to come hold her other hand.



Later today, we pulled out the pool and let the kids have some fun. They played in the sprinker, the pool, with water guns and with a bubble gun. They played so hard and had a blast together.








Brook said she was riding the horsey!

Petting Zoo

We spent Saturday in Poky about two weeks ago with Camron, Kayla, and G & G Wakefield. Brook had so much fun playing with the dogs and going to McKee's Petting Zoo. She loves the goats and just can't get enough of all of the animals there. Unfortunately, I was a dork and forgot my camera, but I was able to snag a couple with my camera phone. In the future I will try to be better prepared. Enjoy!

Cute Schnauzer Puppy!

She's gotta ride the horse!!

Old Pics

I was going through my phone when I came across these cute pictures I thought I should share.

Play Date

With the weather finally being nice out we had our first summer play date at the city park. Brooklyn played so hard on the slide and she loved the swings. I am really looking forward to getting her out to play more often. She slept so well that night, and that is something I could get used to.


Sydnee playing peek-a-boo

Brook loved the sand and she made sure to take plenty of it home with us.

Hello...

Brook is really into phones right now. She has been playing with one of Cole's old phones and carries on conversations all by herself. The other day I was watching her walk around, waving her hand and she says,"Okay, uh huh, bye bye." I had to laugh cause that is how my mom always ends a conversation on the phone. So, I asked Brook who she was talking to. Without missing a beat, she replied,"Ry-Ry"(Uncle Ryan). The next time she was talking on the phone I asked who she was talking to and she shook her little finger at me and told me "Mee-Mee" (Aunt Megan). She really keeps things interesting and is always making me laugh.

Happy Birthday

The 17th was my dad's birthday and I was so glad that everyone was able to come home and celebrate. Dad loved having all of the grand kids there and said that was the best present he could of asked for to have his whole family there with him. Dad has always been such a great example to me and I love and appreciate everything he does for me. Thanks for being such a great dad!! Looking forward to many more birthday celebrations with you dad!

Make a wish!

Brook played outside with her cousins all day and stopped long enough to say cheese.

Spring Time

Brooklyn and I tagged along with dad to get some calves for he and Court's Cow project. We went to Jim Hubbard's and Brooklyn was loving every second of it. She went back and forth between the calves and the dog. She was squealing and talking up a storm. She is definitely our little animal lover. She loves to go see the "baby cows", as she calls them, and runs for her jacket if she sees grandpa heading for the back door. Brook loves to be in on all of the action.

As soon as we got out of the truck, the kids took off running towards the calves. They were loving every second of it.



Sydnee liked the calves sucking her fingers.
