Happy 5th Birthday BrinLee!!!!!!!!!!

Birthday girl BrinLee
Our beautiful princess fairy friends

Fairy dancing


Tinker Bell and mini fairy cakes



Fun for all!




BrinLee had a great birthday and birthday party with friends and family. We had the usual family party and then had a fairy tinker bell party with her friends. At the party they did several different things, but they loved that Tinker Bell had hid the magic treasure and brought magic pixie dust & bottles to make (pixie sticks are delicious). They all loved fairy dancing and dressing up like fairies and doing different games. I had a lot of fun making my first cake and thanks to Aunt McKette for helping me too and Mom for watching the kids. BrinLee insisted we had to have a cake like this and party. It was a lot of fun and BrinLee keeps asking when her next birthday is so she can have the same party and have Tinker Bell come to her house again. I'm glad she had so much fun! Oh the magic of being a little girl. She also is working on Grandpa to take her to Disneyland so she can see Tinker Bell again since that is where she lives! Happy Birthday my sweet BrinLee girl and thanks for being patient and letting your brothers help you open your gifts.

Brin's first day of school. Ethan's 30!!!!
















BrinLee has started preschool at Miss Sandra's who she loves and has been asking all summer when she gets to start going again. Starting school of course means we have started dance and gymnastics too. I can't believe it Ethan is 30. It was hard to do anything because of Ethan's crazy busy schedule, but we managed to throw in cake and ice cream with the kids which they loved. Easton was so excited he ended up sitting in the cake. I decorated the store so every one knew. He ended up with a lot of happy birthdays by the end of the day, to say the least.

Camping

We had a lot of fun camping with the Price's. The kids loved it and didn't want to leave. They always want to stay in Grandpa's trailer even if it's in our yard. I on the other hand would much rather be home or camp in a hotel, but I did my once a year camping trip and even pulled a trailer for the first time (not by choice) I don't know that Ferron Mtn. was the best 1st place to pull a trailer, but we made it there and back. In the end it was all worth it for the kids and Ethan.

Parades & Performances

We had fun attending parades to watch BrinLee on the float and to celebrate Holidays. BrinLee was asked to perform at the Miss and Little Miss Emery County in the opening number and as special numbers. She was quite worn out by the end. She loved performing just hated the practicing. We are so proud of her though. She is a lot of fun to watch and get ready. The kids always enjoyed catching the candy while at the parades.

Swimming







We have loved having the new pool in Castle Dale. We went several times in the summer with different friends and cousins. We always ended up wearing out little Braxton. BrinLee and Easton still want to go every day.

Bridi's Visit
















Bridi was out for the month of July with her little ones. We always love having them here. Easton still keeps asking when we are going to see Davey and his mom. We went to the Children's museum, living aquarium, shopping, swimming, and spent lots of time at g-ma and g-pa's with them. Of course we took time riding Black Beauty. I was glad BrinLee got back on after her fall off of him that was tramatizing for us all. The other bonus was that Easton decided to finally ride Black Beauty since all of the other kids had. Easton always cried before if we even mentioned riding the pony. We were shocked when he finally asked if he could. We have a lot of great memories of the summer.

Megan & Meran's







In June we had a fun visit to see the girls in Cedar. BrinLee stayed with them for a week and the boys and I went to pick her up. I think the girls are happy to still have their freedom. I have a feeling after our visit they are certain they will wait a bit to start a family. We had fun spending time with them at their home, the park and at Meg's hair school. I must say they are quite spoiled to have such a nice condo to live in.
