Millcreek Canyon

On Sunday we took the girls and headed up Millcreek Canyon thinking we would be able to go for a nice long drive and see some nice sights. We were wrong. The gates were still closed until July so we were only able to go partially up. On the way back down we stopped at the "waterfall" so Maycee and Kimberlen could feel the water. Maycee was a chicken and didn't want to touch it even after Kimberlen did. Finally she did and one of her shoes fell into the water and she was mighty upset about it but kept saying "Daddy got it" and then was fine. Brylee slept through it, but I had to get her in the pictures too. I actually turned out to be an okay time. And probably one of the only times this summer we won't have something else going on.

Bragging......just for a sec!

I just have to brag a little. I know there are some of you out there that have never had this experience, but........My Baby is Sleeping through the Night!!! YAY! Brylee is going down at about 10 or so and not waking up until around 6. That means I get to sleep. Then she will go back down until 11. Now I have had 3 girls that have slept through the night right around 2 months.
Kimberlen 2 mos.
Maycee 1 mo 3 weeks.
Brylee 2 mos 1 week.
I am not sure why I have been blessed with such great sleepers but I will not complain for a minute. I think this must be Brylee's way of apologizing for all the fussiness during the day. Sorry to all of you that have months of sleepless nights. I do feel for you.
Okay now I am done. :)

New Pictures

This is Kimberlen's Seven Year Photo's. She had a fun time doing her pictures this year. I think it was because she was the only one getting pictures taken this day. I took the other two a different day.

Here is Maycee. She just had so much fun this time. She was good and listened to the photographer. I think I had as much fun as her. She is getting so big and has such a mind of her own these days, but we love her anyway. And last but not least is Brylee. She is about Two Months old in these. She did really good too. I was worried that she would scream because it was so cold in the room, but to my surprise she didn't. We almost go a smile out of her but I had to stand to the side of her or else I could have gotten her to smile. Anyways, for 2 mos. I am really happy with the way they turned out.

Maycee's TWO

We started the celebration for Maycee's birthday early at Papa Pat's and Grama Robin's. We had a very fun time with all the family together. She received some great presents and we thank you all for them. She loves the fish, bike, the life jacket, and all her art supplies the most. Desiree' volunteered to make the cake for me, she knew I could use some help. It was "Toodles" from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, one of her favorite shows along with Handy Manny, which she watches everyday.

The second party was at Eric's Aunt Jane and Uncle Franks. His Uncle and his cousin Kristi both have a birthday a few days before Maycee so we combined all the parties together. Her favorite gifts this day were the gummy bears, then the "Tools" from Handy Manny and her scooter. She really didn't want anything to do with the rest of it until we got the cake out and she took a big bite out of it after she blew out the candles. Guess she loves her sugar!

I know I am a little late in posting about Kimberlen's birthday but here goes anyway. We ended up having two parties for her one with my family and one with Eric's family. At my family's party no one had a camera and Desiree' took a few with her phone. If she sends me those I will add them. She had a great time at both her parties. She got some nice gifts and some money to go shopping with.
It is hard to believe that she is already seven. Looking at Brylee it seems just like yesterday she was that small. She said she is excited to be seven so she can go to second grade next year. Let's hope I don't lock her up before then, her "little miss" attitude tends to get her in trouble some days.

We FouNd A hoUSe!!

Finally the search is over! (As long as all the loan papers go through I guess) So we found us a nice home in Riverton, 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, with a large kitchen, which if you have seen the kitchen in the last house know that this is what I am most excited about and a 3 car garage, which is what Eric is most excited about. We are still in the paperwork process and should be through with that this week hopefully and be able to move in this weekend and next week. I will post some pictures as soon as I get some. And I will start planning some type of house warming party. Anything to throw a party Right?

This is the picture off the website, not a great one but it will do for now.

This was the first outing to s resturaunt. We went to Texas Roadhouse for Desiree's birthday.

She sleeps alot or at least that is when I have photo time. She has colic so when she is not asleep I am usually feeding, burping, rocking or carrying her in her pack to help keep her calm.

I have been trying to catch some smiles that she has been giving me lately. These are the results....

She is doing really good...besides the colic. Which is really tough. With not having any cure or treatment, it is hard to know what is going to help the most. I am thinking of giving her a bottle....haven't decided if I am just going to pump or try formula yet. We will have to see how it goes.

A day at the park

Here we are at the park. We drove all the way out to Herriman to go to this lovely park. Actually it was our way of looking at some houses. We told the girls we were going to the park and we just kept driving and driving. Kimberlen asked if we were really going to the park or if we were just looking at houses. So we stopped and got some lunch and finally ended up at the park. Brylee slept most of the time and when she woke up she was ready to eat, so I got to spend some time in the car.

Afterwards we stopped and both each of the girls an Icee! Maycee just loves it as you can see.
