Brynna's Winter Dance Recital

Keelee's 8th Birthday

She was over-joyed about her art set; blowing out candles on the beautiful cake Grandma Sandie made; the sleep-over group - Bailey was in hog heaven!

November happenings..

Brynna and her class went to a pumpkin farm; Brynna, aka "the cow whisperer!", a day at the zoo, daddy and Keelee winning the GS Rope runner derby!

Brynna making a bear at a b-day party; Mom and Keelee at GS camp; Keelee as a zombie for dance class; Shapei and Sleeping Beauty for Halloween! And that's only part of what we've been up to!

Labor Day Fun!

We did a stay-cation at a local fancy resort. We all got sunburns and Brynna was the big prize winner! She was interviewed by the "Director of Fun!"

Here's what we've been up to...

We finally got the pictures downloaded... So here are first day of school and dance pictures. More to follow!

More Fun Brynnaisms

Today we were all in the grocery store and I had to run to another isle to get a forgotten item... when I got back to Garrett and the girls Brynna was crying. I asked "what's wrong?" Garrett said Brynna was not listening and got in trouble. I leaned over and asked Brynna what the problem was and she said, "Keelee is making my life miserable."

I looked and Garrett and we both laughed and I said, "well, that one's going on the blog!"

Vacation

We just got home for a long weekend vacation up in the mountains. On the way, we stopped to see the Salt River; we had a picnic on the highest peak in the state; and we got to play in the rain every day! We also spent time getting to know the local chipmunks and squirrels. What a great weekend!!

Summer Fun

A little summer fun... our version of a pool and ice skating at a GS event.

Dance Recital 2008

Author Meeting

Keelee and mom met "Junie B. Jones" author Barbara Park on Saturday.

First pool fun of the summer

The girls started swimming lessons this week; the "Three Amigo's" waiting for the other guests to arrive at Abbey's End-of-the-school-year swimming party.

All About Brynna

Brynna brought home a All About Me book from preschool today. Here are some highlights...

Things that make me happy are "playing all the time."
Things that make me sad are "when I throw up."
My favorite food is "some salad."

And my favorite...

When I grow up I want to be a "teenager."

Isn't that what we all stive for in life???

Another new hair cut for Brynna

Mom's not sure if she likes it but will deal with it until it grows out a little bit.

Oops, she did it again!

Brynna got hold of the scissors again!

She is so sad over this one - she keeps asking me if the tooth fairy is going to come and fix her hair.

More pictures coming soon!

Keelee's Mambo dance

Keelee had picture day at dance class and a run through for the parents. Another month until show time!

Beer is good.
