Lake Powell 2014

I always dread going to Lake Powell, but always love it once we get there. Brooklyn is at such a fun age and got to go on the tube all by herself! She was little a hesitant but still had fun. Davis loves the water and Brooklyn likes (kind of) the water. Brooklyn napped like it was her job every day because she was so exhausted. We love the Allen family and it is always SO much fun when they come!

Kenna did family pictures not long after my mom did, so we have lots of pictures from July!

Brooklyn's 3rd Birthday Party

Brooklyn is going through a serious tea party phase and an even more serious princess phase. So I decided to combine the two for her birthday. It was so much fun setting up for and it was so much fun seeing how much she loved it. I had all of the girls come in princess dresses. We also got a bounce house from this nice guy on craigslist. The girls loved it but I didn't realize it would be an inferno inside of there in July. Brooklyn has the cutest friends and she is one lucky girl!

Brooklyn turns 3!

Birthdays are always so bittersweet. I love celebrating my kids and I love how much they love birthdays, but I really hate how fast they are growing up. I feel like I blinked and she turned 3. She is so much fun and such a crack up. She was so excited for all of her presents and loves being the center of attention, who doesn't?! We love this little 3 year old more than we ever knew possible!!! Kenna got her a jeep and she wasn't quite sure what to think of it. She thought it was so cool but kept saying "it's too fast!!"

Family Pictures 7/2014

While in the mountains for the 4th, my mom had family pictures taken. Oh, how I love pictures of my kids! Also, how did I get 2 blonde kids?

4th of July 2014

We went up to Keystone with my family for the 4th of July. Denver isn't the most exciting place during the 4th, but the mountains does it right. The kids loved playing in the stream, the camp fire, riding in the bike trailers, and playing together. We rented bikes and trailers and rode all over the place. I had a huge work deal going on that took up a lot of my time and was miserable, but was still able to have a blast. Boy, am I glad that is over. We ate lots of good food. We went up to Vail for the actual 4th because we heard they had a good parade. It was awesome! The girls were in heaven. They loved all of the candy being thrown and them and loved waving at everyone. Davis was a trooper in his stroller as usual. It rained the night of, but it stopped for fireworks, so Trevor took Brooklyn out and they watched them together in their rain jackets. Definitely a great 4th of July!

Davis @ 18 months

I am pretty mad at myself for not keeping better notes on Davis. He is so funny right now. And also a wrecking ball. He gets into EVERYTHING all day long. He is constantly making messes and I can't keep us! But he is so hilarious right now. He has this big cheesy smile he does when you look at him that makes my heart want to burst. He also has the best girl scream when he doesn't get something he wants. He loves tooth brushes and has one in his hand most of the day. He loves cars and trucks. He loves to sit in Brooklyn's jeep and just learned how to push the pedal, which is so scary for me. I got him a cozy coupe and he hangs out in it for hours. He LOVES to be outside. He also loves to eat and really really loves milk. He can say "Baba" "mom" "dad" "car" "done" "gone" "hi" "bye" and is working on a few more. He has the widest stance when he walks and I just love it. He knows where his belly button is. He knows to lay down when he poops and when i ask if his bum needs to be changed, he pats his bum. He is such a lover and loves to give cuddles. He wants to be carried down the stairs instead of going down them himself. When he wants something, he makes sure you know. He can eat a package of fruit snacks in 10 seconds flat. He always gets a running start and gives Brooklyn the biggest hugs! We love this boy!!
