The Wedding!

Sorry it has taken so long to blog about the wedding, my computer did not want me to upload the pictures for some reason. But it finally let me :) SO here they it goes.... It was a absolutely wonderful day! The temple was wonderful. I am very lucky and thankful because Ashlee let me be her escort so I was with her through it all. Thank you so much Ashlee for letting me share that special time with you. It was wonderful.

After the wedding Collette, Dave, and I went up to the reception site (Dave's grandparents house) to finish setting up. It was the hottest day of the year so far! We were dying! Thank goodness Collette recommend I bring a complete change of clothes to set up in because I was completely covered in sweat. But I think it turned out really pretty.
The reception was lots of fun! There was great food and they had a live band. It was so much fun to dance the night away. It think it turned out great!







I am so happy for Ashlee and Josh! Josh is such a great guy and I am so happy to have him in our family! I love you two!

8 months!

Brinlee is now 8 months! She has learned so much in the past few weeks! She can now CRAWL! I can't believe it. It seems like just a few weeks ago she was a tiny baby and now she is this little toddler. She has also learned to wave, clap, and say Hi. I have definitely turned into a human jungle gym because is always trying to climb up me. It is so much much fun to watch her grow. I can't believe how big she is. She weighs 22 lbs and is 29 inches long! She also has 3 teeth and 3 more that are almost in.She has developed quite the personality. I can tell she is going to give me trouble when she is older :) But she is so fun and always makes me laugh. I am so glad to be her Mom.

Thanks to Aunt Ashlee for the cute pictures! And Brinlee's blue outfit used to be my moms :)

Swimming Lessons!

Brinlee's cousin Shelby and Aunt Rachel invited us to take a Mom and Tot swimming class with them. It was so much fun! It was 3 days a week for 3 weeks. Brinlee was the youngest one in the class so I didn't know excatly what she would be able to do, but she absolutely loved it. Be the end she was kicking and splashing like crazy. She even went under the water (I was definitely more scared about then she was about it, but she loved it) It was so much fun! Thanks Rachel and Shelby for letting us come!

Brinlee posing in her bikini. I went a little overboard and she owns 3 swimsuits :)

I wish I would have got a picture of Brinlee and Shelby together but you can see them both in this one.

I had to wear a heart monitor for a week so Aunt Ashlee was so nice and took Brinlee to swimming lessons that week. Thanks so much Ash!

The 4th of July

We went to Cedar for the 4th of July. It was lots of fun! Brinlee seemed to have lots of fun (minus the fire trucks sirens in the parade) which was surprising since she woke up about 2 hours earlier than normal and only took about a total of a hour nap the whole day! We love to go to the 4th in Cedar. There is always a lot of fun things to do.

Here is Brinlee in her 4th of July sunglasses

Brinlee hated the fire truck sirens but who could blame her

It looks like we are smashing her

This was at the park after the parade. She was fishing for a prize.

She won a Bear! Pretty good prize for $.50
Up at Grandma Smith's Cabin!

Getting ready for a walk to the pond

Watching the fire works! Uncle Josh let her wear his hat because it was a little cold, she looks like a gangster.

And she fell asleep right before the even started :)
