Weekend at the Lake

Last weekend we went to Yuba Lake for an unofficial ward campout. 10 families came to play and camp. We weren't planning on going, but last minute changed our minds. I called in a favor to my grandparents to use their truck and trailer which was so nice! Much better than a tent! I didn't get any pictures while we were there, just boring video so I will spare uploading it. We had a lot of fun boating and playing on the beach. Brielle even likes sand on her feet now! On our way home we took the Nebo Loop road back. It was a really nice drive. Brielle enjoyed it for a while but soon got antsy to get out. We gave her licorice to keep her busy. A short while later she fell asleep. She kind of looked like a clown with her red licorice smeared all over her face. I even found some in her ears! Here is our cute clown. Kind of hard to see the licorice all over her face with her binkie in.

Corn, Corn & More Corn please!

There is nothing better than fruit & veggies fresh from the garden during summer months. Wish I could say it was my garden, but our hectic lives don't permit us to keep up with the planting, weeding, watering, picking & eating that a garden requires. Maybe next year. Anyhow, Brielle's favorite food right now is corn on the cob. YUM! She can't get enough of it. She was so cute with her messy corn face, we had to take lots of pictures. If only corn was more nutritious!

Lazy, Hazy, Crazy days of Summer

It has been quite a while since we posted, so I thought I better catch you up on what we've been up to. It has been a great summer full of lots of activities. Even though summer can be hectic and crazy, I think a busy summer is better than a boring one! On the days I am not at work, I try to take Brielle to the park or to play with friends. Sometimes it can get boring just the two of us entertaining each other, so I try to stay busy running around. And we hae been running around literally! Brielle loves to run, which leaves me to chasing her. Her favorite thing to do is play with keys. The other day we were car shopping with cousin Michelle and I gave Brielle the keys so that she could be entertained while we waited on the dealer. BAD IDEA!!!! She wanted to try putting the keys in every keyhole to every car. All I needed was for her to scratch the paint on a brand new car, which would lead to me buying a brand new car!! Yikes! So I bribed her with popcorn to get the keys back. Bribery is such a wonderful parenting tool!

So at the beginning of summer I got a new haircut. I haven't had my hair short in 9 years!!! But I love it and it makes life easier! This is the only close up picture I have since I got it cut.Brielle's hair is getting longer and fuller. It is fun to put in ponytails & bows! I am so excited for the day I can braid it and round brush it and curl it!! I love having a girl!!!
