Gavin's Birthday

A couple weekends ago we went to Gavin Naylor's 3rd birthday party. Brighton loved having all the big kids around to play with. She wasn't sure about the pinata at first, but once she saw what the other kids were doing - swinging a light saber and hitting something - she was all over it! Giving Baby Brynn kisses

The GREAT cake Corby made!

Camping

We took Brighton camping this weekend for the second time ever. She selpt in her own sleeping bag and pretty much slept through the night. She woke up around 4 and I moved her into our sleeping bag cause I didn't want her crying to wake up our friends. She had a ton of fun walking around the fire, playing with sticks, drinking hot chocolate and roasting marshmallows. Tom & I were even able to have some fun!

Buzzette Brunch

I hosted an impromptu brunch on Friday. Girls from the squadron came with their kiddos and we chatted and ate for a few hours. It was a nice release after the stressful week most of our husbands had.

The spread This is Brighton "playing" with Baby Brynn and Baby Libby. She normally does a great job playing with them, they both love to watch her run around and do stuff, but as soon as they started to play with her Care Bears, she became a lil possesive. She still let them have some, just not all of them. And yes, those are actually my Care Bears from when I was a little girl.

New favorite past-time

Brighton has discovered coloring and wants everyone to share in the joy with her. She'll start to color, then say, "Mommy, color with you?" Which of course means come color with me. The best part though is you can't pick out your own crayon, she tells you which one you'll be using. And, most of the time, she'll take it away and give you a new one before you even get the chance to color.

Ready to go

Brighton are you ready to go run errands? "I ready!"

Some more randomness

We drove up to Erto to check out some potential climbing and camping spots. Brighton loved having so much room to run around and kept checking to make sure Daddy was running too!

Random

I'm teaching a class tomorrow and one of the ladies needed help learning how to upload pictures to blogger, so here's a random picture from American Fork Canyon from 2 years ago that I used as a demo for you to enjoy. I know - you're really lucky!

Just chillin

B piled up all the pillows while I was changing the sheets."Don't mind me Mommy, I'm just chillin...."

Mommy's Makeup

You know it's never good when they're quiet for too long...apparently she needed to get ready for her day!

Daddy's Gasses

No, not those kind of gasses. Brighton's had a thing for glasses lately, although she calls them "gasses". Here she is on our way home from climbing and wearing Daddy's gasses.

Pigtails

While Brighton was over at Macey's, Macey was getting her hair done and decided she wanted Brighton to match. Thanks Rachael for doing her hair!

510 Change of Command

At the end of June, we had our squadron change of command. Col. Lance Landrum gave over command of the Buzzards to Col Greg Sarakatsannis.

This is actually from a few months ago, but I just took it off my camera. Macey and Brighton love dancing, even if Brighton doesn't look like she's enjoying it. I swear, she's normally laughing and singing along with Macey, just not when I try to video tape her.

Digital Scrapbooking

I'm teaching a class on Digital Scrapbooking and want to know what software everyone uses. I use Creative Memories and love it, but I'd like to be able to provide a list of other softwares that are available. Does anyone use a software that was a free download?

The score is tied

With baby #2 on the way, the teams will now be even - parents:2, kids:2. Feb. 17th - let the countdown begin!
