Brooklyn woke up just in time for the firework show.
Playing in the pool with Daddy, she did not mind that the water was cold.
There is a tiny dog hanging from the balloons when they let go of the rope it would float up.
Elvis lives and his little dog too!
B slept through the parade
Crazy bicycles
Cousins - Caster, Indy and Kirabella
Auntie and B
Uncle and B, all the babies love Uncle
Cheese, I have teeth! (only Danny can get her to smile like this)
Serenity and Russ, we meet them through church and they are leaving us. They have two beautiful little girls that were with grandma at the time. We are sad to see them move to St. George, but know it will be good for there family. Hopefully we stay in touch and can visit on our way to California. Thanks for being so nice and welcoming to us.
Look I can stand all by myself
This is B's latest look, I think she has discovered her teeth so she moves her bottom lip up and this is what you get. Quite funny!
Her new toy, rings she loves them
I'm a big girl now. Standing is one of her favorite things. She hasn't figured out how to pull herself up yet or crawl, but she is getting very close.
For Father's Day we went camping with friends for the weekend. They go every summer and we got to tag along as well. We have been looking forward to this for a few months, since it had been about 2 years since we had been camping. It was Brooklyn's first camping trip and our first as parents. The weather was not so great it rained off and on the entire weekend. It got down in the 30's at night so it was a little hard to try and keep B warm at night and not get her all tangled in the blankets. The first night was rough, then our air mattress was no good so we had a hard time sleeping on the packed dirt, but the company and scenery made it all worth it. Even though it rained we were still able to go fishing, take walks, bike ride,play games and have great dutch oven cooking!
We stopped off the highway to stretch and feed Brooklyn.
Some scenery on the way to Stanley, so beautiful and only 3 hours away!
The boys playing Cribbage - to much math for me, but everyone had fun playing it.
The only picture I could get of both Garrett and Brooklyn looking up. Brooklyn was more interested in the toys and Garrett was always happy to smile for the camera.
Danny took B on a bike ride and took these pictures as a surprise for me. She wasn't to sure of the feel of the sand in her hands, but took cute pictures.
Marin enjoying the sun breaking through for 2 minutes.
The first lake we attempted to go fishing at - Lake Pettit. No one was on the Lake it was so peaceful and beautiful. We could see the fish jumping, but could not cast far enough.
Brooklyn and Daddy fishing at Stanley Lake. Danny was hoping she was going to be his good luck charm, no such luck!
Matt and Sara the experienced fishermen, they were nice enough to let us tag along. After we left they went to a pond and caught lots of Trout, guess we were bad luck!
Trying to keep B warm at night. Thank you Peggy for the hat that goes under the beanie it was great to keep her head extra warm during the day and the only thing she could not pull off her head at night.
Sara, B, Perry and Angie keeping warm by the fire.
Father's Day morning, such a proud Daddy
Our drive home, so beautiful we would like to go back later this summer when it is warmer. So much beautiful scenery to enjoy!
Play Date with the neighbors girls (they are all within a few weeks of each other), we missed our buddy Garrett
ROOARRR!
Going on a bike ride with B and G, they started out excited then ....
passed out onto each other. It was quite cute, we went on about an hour bike ride with Matt and Marin it was a good time.
Every year each city around us has a traveling carnival they celebrate different things in there city, this year we were around to go to Eagle Fun days. It was a warm, yet rainy day. We went to the parade, farmers market, car show, walked by the carnival rides and went to lunch. We did a lot of walking and had a great day together.
One of the floats in the parade - local dentists dressed as mad scientists rocking out with there band. Good Times!
WATER FIGHT! Tradition is a water fight by the people in parade and the people standing on the street it was quite funny watching everyone get so into it. By the end everyone that wanted to were drenched. People came prepared in bathing suits, with water guns, some even had a trailer with huge barrels of water that pumped water to hoses so they had continuous flow to get the people in the floats. Could you image if this had been in LA what would have happened to the innocent water fight? When we go to events like this that people can have a good time and it not get out of hand makes us happy to be living here.
This poor military guy had no chance, he was soaked and wasn't even armed to fight back.
See the spray just a little example of the craziness!
This is for you Todd, they were featured in the local car show. (Just waiting for you to bring yours, they need one with a 3rd seat) :)
At the end of the day Brooklyn was wore out she didn't even wake up to be transferred to her carseat.
B with Daddy sporting the cool shades
B's first time in the water, it was cold but she did not seem to mind
Just some Random pictures at home
Danny and Brooklyn playing in the bathroom mirror
Brooklyn trying to figure out how to get the puffs in her mouth
B's new way of sleeping, she is all over the crib at night and trying to keep her on her back is not possible anymore. She starts out on her back, then her side, then her belly. Our crazy little sleeper.
