A sneak peek

Of our remodel!!! Here is the main wall in our living room that used to be divided in half. This is the awesome trim Brandon is doing, I love it!!! We are going to paint it white, it will look so good when it's done.
And here is our fun tub! It is so funky, and even better that it was free!!! I will post more when I have second, but its finally coming along. We should be ready for paint in a week or so. It's stressing me out a little trying to pick out and design all these rooms at once. So to help me out Bri is going to design Kambri's room and it's going to be a secret! I am so excited to see it and love that it is one less thing I have to do:)

The fruits of our labor!

Oh how I love fruit and we have fruit trees, yay! So really I didn't have to do anything except pick and enjoy. That is another thing about his house that I love, I have full grown fruit producing trees and I didn't have to do anything!
Kambri loves fruit too and is enjoying herself a delicious white flesh peach from our tree. Yummy!
The kiddos showing off our yummy peaches. Bennett won't eat any fruit unless it's watermelon, but he decided he would let me take a picture of him holding it. Today he informed me that boys don't like fruit. Where do they get these things?!
This is one of the best things about my little jammers, their hands. I love how dirty and chubby Bennett's hands are. I don't want him to ever get too old to hold my hand:)
Here is our little apple picker, she had a good time in the trees!
I have been on a canning spree these past couple of weeks. I have canned salsa, tomatoes, and peaches. It takes a lot of time, but so worth it.
(These peaches aren't from my tree, maybe after we prune it and they get bigger I can use my peaches)

Brynn is 4 months old!


Oh this little girl couldn't be any sweeter! I would say she is getting bigger, but not so much. We just don't grow them big in our family:) She is skinny and tall just like her Daddy. Her pediatrician was worried about her weight at her 2months. But Brandon just happens to be her plumber and now that she has seen Brandon she isn't worried anymore! I love when we see different people and some say oh she looks just like Kambri and the next person says she looks just like Bennett. I think she has Bennett's big eyes and the rest of her looks like Kambri. She is starting to get her cute little personality and I love it. Some things about Brynn:
Height 24 3/4 in (75%)
Weight 11lbs (5%)
*Brynn has been rolling over both ways for over a month but she prefers her tummy. Every time we put her on her back she immediately rolls to her stomach.
*She is starting to like her toys. She likes to play with them on the ground and eat them.
*She is scooting all over. She gets her little knees up and does the worm crawl.
*She still sleeps all night long (hallelujah)
*She does not like the car and screams the entire time!
*She is very ticklish and has the cutest little laugh that I love to hear.
We are very blessed to have such a sweet little angel in our family!

Kambri's 1st day of Preschool

Kambri had a really good first day of preschool. Her teacher is cute Miss Georgia (Graicee and Halen also went to her) Kambri was a little sad that she was going to a different preschool this year. But after we went and met Miss Georgia she asked me everyday when she was going to go. It was pouring rain when I dropped her off and I asked if she wanted me to stay and she said, "No you can go Mommy." Oh man she is getting too big. I'm glad I have one more year until she is in kindergarten. There are 14 little kids in her class so I know she is going to meet lots of new little friends. We hope she has a good year!

Fun in the Sun!

Oh how we love my Grandma's condo pool. We probably went on average once a week. It is so much fun and the kids love it. There is hardly anyone ever there and we get it all to ourselves.
This is usually what I was doing at the pool, holding baby Brynn. I wanted to get her in, but the water was usually a little too chilly for her. She didn't even get to wear her cute swimsuits!

Bri was a champ and got in a lot even though she was pregnant. Graicee and Halen are awesome swimmers.
Sweet Kambri sunbathing! The cousins decided to make a train. The love hanging out with each other.

Bennett and uncle Dennin. Bennett loved to jump in the first of the year and then decided that he would rather sit on the stairs or throw toys in the pool. Hopefully next year he will actually get in more than a few times:) My kids love it when he comes and want to hang all over him. He's a good uncle and has fun with the kiddos.


Swimmy Lessons

Kambri took swimming lessons this summer at Weber State. Her teacher was Grandpa Bob and Kambri really liked him. She loved swimming lessons and was so excited to go everyday. There were only four kids in the class and the did really fun things. Her favorite thing was when Grandpa Bob would make up a story about him and every time he said Bob they had to put their head under the water.
This is Kambri getting ready to push off and swim on her back. She loves the water and will hopefully be swimming all by herself next summer!

Boating

Wow I am playing some serious catchup on my neglected blog!
We went boating a few times this summer and it was a blast. We don't get to go very often so we loved it. It was a first for Kambri and Bennett too.
This was their happy faces before we actually started moving. The water was a little rough and then they weren't so happy to be out with us!

This is Aubrey catching some serious air! We both fell off a few times. Wow I forgot how much that hurts.
The brothers got to go out together, they had a blast.
Tubing with Nana!
This is Bennett on the easy ski. He did pretty good, I wasn't sure if he would even dare get on it at all.
The girlies hanging out in the boat.

We did some wake boarding. I am still in the learning process and trying not to fall on my face. Hopefully I will get to go again next year and improve my skills.
Aubrey on the other hand is a professional. She was seriously awesome, I was impressed.
Jordan catching some air, lucky girl gets to go boating all summer. Thanks for letting us tag along!
This is Kambri on the easy ski. Let's just say this girl is a serious dare devil. She absolutely loved it. The whole time she was saying faster faster and giving us the thumbs up sign.

And this is her going backwards. She spent most of her time like this. She would get on and just turn herself around. She could be water skiing in no time. I was so proud of her. She fell off one time trying to turn around and looking at us. She was sad for a minute, but then wanted to go back out in the water.
Thanks again Jordan and your Mom and Dad for letting us go we loved it!!!

I would do anything for this....

SMILE!!!

Targhee

Back in July we went to Targhee for our annual family vacation. We normally go camping, but decided to bag that and go to a cabin. Very nice choice we had a blast.

The boys did a little of this everyday!
There were lots of fun conversations and quality time spent together!


A little crafting action taking place. My mom taught us how to crochet, I'm still in the teaching process!
The kids did lots of crafting too.
A little clay action from my talented brother Dennin!


Some movie watching with the cousins.

Best buddies:)
Some hot tub action. This cabin was the best!
Lots of this going on, not so sure how comfy this actually was.
Love love these pictures of my sweet Brynn with the best guy ever!
And finally had good times in these fun chairs that hung from the ceiling.


Overall we had a fabulous time. I love spending so much time with my family. I never get sick of them even though I see them at least a couple times a week! It was very relaxing and had some good times playing games and having fun. Can't wait for next years trip.
