Easter & First Birthday Party

I can't believe a year has come and gone so fast! The holidays 

are so much more fun and fulfilling with Brinley around...

Here is her first peek of the Easter Bunny 

(or maybe a dog, or mom acting crazy so she 

will look at the camera...)

Brinley sporting the cool bunny look

Matching outfits from Gramma

Here are some pictures from Brinley's first birthday... her party was a "lemonade stand" theme

seriously... look at that girl- so stinkin' cute!

some decorations... dessert anyone?

the cake...

opening presents with help from cute cousins...

and the grand finally...

hmm.. what is this?

not bad, not bad...

yeah, that was pretty good... maybe I'll have a little bit more...

yep!

Happy birthday to my Brinley girl! 

We love you so much, and are so grateful for the

opportunity to learn from you, and to watch your beautiful,

 spirited, and smart personality bloom :)

Fall & Winter fun in captions...

Happy Halloween!

Lil' Bo Peep and her sheep :)

Tearing up the Dr's office at 6 month appointment

Joel and I went on a little trip to Vegas to see Jim Gaffigan
and visit a few museums
while Brinley stayed in St. George
with Gramma and Papa

Cute lil' turkey

Enjoyed a big Thanksgiving feast at the paradise club house in St. George

Waving buh-bye to the camera to go play in the snow!

Lil' mischief wearing the tree skirt

Christmas photo shoot (7 months)

We had lots of fun and got spoiled rotten at the Christmas parties with both families

McKell & Brinley went to soak up some more sun in St. George for a few days

Lovin her new shades

Stopped in Scipio at the petting zoo
(though we only viewed the animals from a distance)

In charge of the remote already :)

And in other news: Joel became a partner of Jibe (hard work is worth being your own boss),  Brinley said her first word "bob", and is growing up way too fast. McKell is gettting some biceps carrying the car-seat everywhere. And macie has gotten some gray hairs and gained another 5 pounds in her new favorite hang-out spot under the high chair :)
