Brynn's 3rd birthday party

We had Brynn's birthday party with friends today and Brynn had a blast!  It was our smallest party yet and it was great. Here are some pictures. Brynn had a smile the whole time!

Happy 3rd Birthday Brynn!

Brynn is 3 years old today. I remember the day she was born so vividly. Almost every detail. I got a little emotional today watching her play with her brand new walkie talkies from a dear friend of ours. I just can't believe she is 3. I feel like 3 isn't "baby" at all anymore. Brynn lights up a room. She's beautiful and happy. Her best friend is Kate and her other best friend is Chase. And Gianna too. She also loves everything princess and she loves anything girlie. Brynn always has a dress on. It has to twirl. And she never wears sneakers. Always silver sparkle shoes. She loves blueberries and tuna fish Aka Swedish fish. She also loves to ride her bike and play in the pool. She loves the Disney princesses too. She is a sweetheart but she's also one tough cookie and so stubborn. Her listening ears are getting so much better too. Brynn is such a joy and I said it before and I will say it again. The world is so much better with her here. Happy Birthday to our baby girl!  You are the best big sister and little sister anyone could ask for!  We love you more and more each day and are so proud of you!! 

16 Months Old

Our baby boy is 16 months old today. Time is flying by! Chase is a blast! He is hysterical and makes us all laugh everyday. His newest trick is if you ask him to burp he makes the burping sound. He then looks around for people to laugh and then he will say excuse me. How can you not laugh at that!!? He is polite and is starting to say please and thank you. He is jibber jabbering and also using lots of words. He loves playing in the pool and playing outside. He is in the stage where he bumps into everything! His poor little head has tons of bruises. He saw me pull out the bear and he immediately started saying cheese!!! Love love love this little guy to pieces!!!

Splash Day

Today was Chase's first splash day and Kate's class went on a field trip to the pool. Kate tested to go into the deep end and even went off of the dive. Chase apparently had a blast. He loves being in the pool and loves the water so I am not surprised at all. Here are some pics.

Softball fun day

The all star game was supposed to be on Tuesday but due to the weather it was moved to Wednesday. They had a moon bounce and a face painter and the girls had a blast. Chase had fun watching everything too. Rich handed out trophies to all the girls for a great season.

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to My dad and Rich. I always hoped that someday when I had children that their father would be like mine. While they aren't exactly the same, Rich is one of the best dads out there. He coaches, teaches, reprimands, helps, snuggles, hugs and kisses and is just all around a great Dad. Just like mine. Happy Father's Day to 2 of my favorite guys.

Fishing Tournament

My parents' community had a fishing tournament last weekend and of course we were there. Everyone had a chance to fish. Brynn loved it and Kate does too. Even Chase caught one! We won the award for most fish caught. Great job guys and so much fun!

Kindergarten Graduation!

Kate graduates from Kindergarten today. Her last day was Friday an they had field day. Kate did a reading at her graduation ceremony and did so well. I took the day off and she and I hung out all day. It was perfect. We gave her a present she's web wanting for a while and we made things with it. Later, my parents and Jane came over for a pizza party and cake. We are so proud of Kate! We can't believe she is in First Grade! And she had perfect attendance and also got a perfect report card!

Flipped

We flipped our last carseat forward today. Chase has a whole new perspective in the car and he's loving it!

Summer days

We no longer have a pool in our backyard but that didn't stop us from having some fun!

Kate's 3rd dance recital

Today was Kate's dance recital. Her 3rd one ever and her 1st one at her new studio. The recital was great and Kate did amazing!! She got all of the moves and we couldn't be prouder!!! Her song was "you are my sunshine" which is funny because we sing that to her every night since she was a tiny baby. When it was finished we (us, Namma & Pop Pop and Grammie) were all waiting with flowers. Way to go Kate! Keep up the awesome work!
