Petting Zoo

A little petting zoo came to the YMCA one morning last week and Brecken absolutely loved it. He got to feed a goat and he almost got pooped on by a llama:)

These kids

Brecken and Mailey are so sweet together. He is a great big brother who loves to make her giggle. She will just follow him from room to room and loves his attention. She is good at playing cars and makes a great ninja turtle as well. Brecken wishes she could hold a sword better:) They really have a sweet relationship and I hope they will always be friends.

Brecken's Slip and Slide Party

On Saturday we celebrated Brecken's birthday with a slip and slide party. He is not officially 4 for 2 more weeks but his best friend Sammy is moving and Ava is going out of town so we needed to do the party early. We borrowed a huge tarp for the slip and slide and everybody had a great time. It was super hot and sunny and the shade canopy we borrowed did not like the wind... So everybody drank lots of water and ate lots of ice cream bars and Popsicles to keep cool when they weren't in the water. Brecken got spoiled with gifts. He has been wearing his batman cape and mask to sleep and has been riding his small 4 wheeler all around. He loved his batman cake and it got devoured so I guess I should have made another one! Overall it was a slip and slide success!!!

  

I didn't get a picture of all the kids or the whole group and I am so mad at myself!!!

Swinging

Mailey loves to swing! It is my favorite to watch her just smile and giggle on the swings. This is on of those things I never want to forget! She is getting so big. I already am missing my tiny baby... Soon she will be a walkin talkin toddler:(

Seriously could not love this girl anymore than I already do!!!

Mailey girl is 9 months old

Our sweet Mailey is 9 months old! The time just goes by too fast. She is the sweetest and most content baby... She is just such a blessing in our lives. She is my happy sitter:) she just sits on the floor with me and Brecken and plays and babbles. She is a great eater and sleeper. Still taking 2 naps and nursing like a champ although she loves her baby food and puffs. She plays this head tilt game with Kaile while she is in her highchair and it is so cute. Kaile tilts his head and smiles and then she does it too. It seriously melts my heart to see my sweet husband play with his kids. She loves anything shiny and is always after your jewelry... Beware she has already broken 2 necklaces! She is not interested in crawling and hates being on her tummy for longer that a minute. I have got to work on that with her but I hate to have her so sad when she is usually so happy. Brecken is a sweet brother to her. He gives her toys, includes her, pats her and just loves her. Mailey has 2 bottom teeth and one of her top teeth has started to poke through. She loves avocados, sweet potatoes, applesause and basically every other food... It's nice to have at least one child who eats (Brecken is still the pickiest eater... His diet consists of hotdogs, fruit and chocolate chip pancakes). All the childcare ladies at the YMCA fight over who gets to hold Mailey when I go to the gym and when we got back from Utah they were so happy. Needless to say we have a little sweetheart and we couldn't love her anymore than we already do!

As Kaile would say "look at that face"

We love you all!

A visit to Utah

I was fortunate enough to get to go home to Utah for 2 weeks with Brecken and Mailey while Kaile studied and took finals. We always have such a fabulous time with Grammie and grandpa. We loved seeing family and friends. We got to see Kassidi while she was in town but I didn't take any pictures... Boo! We enjoyed nice weather and went on many outings. Now onto the pictures I did take:) 

Snack trays and Frozen... Dutch wandered around singing "let it go" for days:)

Red butte gardens... We went on Arbor Day and Canessa got some free trees. It was packed but we had a nice time anyway.
