Brady

Well I realized that I didn't put up pictures of Brady for all 5 years of his fun little life, so here they are:
Brady at 4 hanging out in our apple tree, I think he is just soo handsome and his eyelashes are to die for!
Here is proof that he loves to jump on anything!!
He did used to be chubby, not so much anymore, but he still does tan so nice!


This is one of my favorite pictures of Brady, I just love it! (4 mo. old)


We love you Brady!

Eventful Week

Last week we had a fun and busy week and of course forgot my camera with all the things going on. Thursday we got some free tickets to go to the circus. It was really cool there were elephants and tigers and lions and all kinds of cool tricks done by people and animals, it was a lot of fun! Friday we went to the Eastern Oregon Livestock Show parade where the kids got way too much candy, but was pretty cool. Then the girls and Beckett and I headed out to the Mother Daughter campout. We brought 4 extra girls with us, so it was a little crazt, but Brooklyn had a ton of fun. Let's just say that I will be glad next year when I don't have a 3 month old baby and a 2 year old to take care of, I did not get much sleep. I really wish I had my camera, although I didn't really have an extra hand to take pictures with. All in all it was a fun but busy week.

Memorial Day Camping Trip

Brooklyn thought this would be a nice facial, her skin was "soo" soft after!



She is crazy, this is her getting all the way in the water

all of them playing




We had a blast camping with the Huntsmans and the Rasmussens for the long weekend, except for the mosquito's!!! Anyone who grew up in Vanderhoof knows how I feel when I say I "HATE" moquito's!!! Anyway after we covered ourselves a couple of times I felt brave enough to get out of the car. We camped by the river and enjoyed the chance to relax. The kids were CRAZY and decided to wade in the river, which was freezing! But they had fun, so what can you do. Here is a couple of pics.

Brooklyn or Emree?

Brooklyn or Emree?
Just thought you all might like to see how much Brooklyn and Emree look alike, its kind of scary actually! Especially that Emree wears all the clothes that Brooklyn used to wear, I better make sure I get the right name to the right picture in the scrapbooks...well photo albums anyway. This is Brooklyn when she was 10 months old!

First day of School!

Funny Story 1

Well I haveto share this funny story about Brooklyn. There is a little girl in our primary who got her appendix out shortly after she was baptized and showed Brooklyn her scar, so here is Brooklyn's conversation with me the other day. Brooklyn: "Mom I don't think I want to get baptized." Me: "Why not?" Brook: "It's too scary." And I'm thinking she loves the water, what is the problem? Me: "Whats scary about it?" Brook: "I don't want to go to the hospital and be cut open after I am baptized." I started laughing!!! "You think everyone has to be cut open after they get baptized?" Brook: yes, Jenny did and she even showed me her scar. So I had to explain to her that that was not part of getting baptized, it just happened that it was close to the same time with Jenny. I thought it was so hilarious, you never know what your kids are actually thinking!!

What a handsome boy!
