Brooklyn-isms

"My window is froggy."

She calls a handle a "hangle"

"When you grow smaller like me mommy I will wipe your gina for you."

Me: Who is your favorite team?
B: Mama!!

Me: Are you my friend?
B: No, I'm your girl.

She sometimes calls an outfit an "elephant".  For example "I want to pick out my own elephant!"

"Is there gonna be a princess in my new house?"

When I went in her room one morning to get her she pops right up and says "It's coronation day mom!"

Me: What did you learn at nursery today?
B: We learned coloring.

I was downstairs getting ready in my bathroom when Brooklyn runs in with some gum in her hand and says "Don't worry mom, it will not swallow me." (This is because I always tell her she can't have gum cause she will swallow it).

First thing when we walk into our new house "There's a toilet!!!!"

She calls a trampoline a "jumpoline".

She uses the word evenly a lot.  She'll randomly put it in a sentence like "Paige came and got Claire evenly." Or "I asked my dad evenely if I could have this. Evenly, evenly."

Picking at the seeds in the watermelon "There's seaweed!".

"I burp-ded."

"Don't EVER "aks" me again!" (When I tell her to do something.)

Pointing at the Ferris wheel "Mom can we go on the steering wheel?"

She calls a stethoscope a "hello-scope"

Stewart Falls Hike

Another gorgeous hike as a family! For aFriday evening activity a couple weeks ago we went up past Sundance and did the Stewart Falls hike.  I'm amazed how many waterfalls are so close to us!

4th of July 2015

Our 4th of July festivities started on the 3rd when we went to an Orem Owlz baseball game.  This game was the most packed we had attended in light of the fact that there were fireworks at the end of the game.  It was awesome to be so close to where they were setting them off and just be able to lay back on the grass and watch the show. On the 4th we met up with my friend Brittani and her boyfriend Chris and his daughter Shaylee in Riverton.  That town does a great job of putting on an all day celebration.  The park was filled with activities including a game of Bingo (Thomas won a citronella camping candle), performances from currently running plays and musicians/singers, and a park and splash pad for the kids.  Brooklyn and Shaylee got along really well and it was so nice for them to have someone to play with.
After the park we headed to Chris' house for the girls to nap while the adults relaxed and watched a movie and prepared dinner.  After dinner we headed to the pool for a bit before it started to rain. Let Britt and I took the girls to the park while Christ took Thomas on a motorcycle ride. Luckily the rain cleared up in time for the fireworks show that night.
Britt's coworker's family puts on the show each year so we got to sit in the restricted area and have special parking which was so nice.  We were so close that by the end there was ash falling on us!
Great time with friends this year celebrating our freedoms.

How cute is this couple holding hands!?

Children's Museum with Sookie and Ryder

My friend Sookie and her son Ryder, who we met at Baby Signing Time class when our babies were just a few months old, were here in Utah for a few days and we met up with them at the Museum of Natural Curiosity. Fun to see our Boise friends.

Brooklyn's Three Year Pictures

At the end of May we found a photographer in the area and had Brooklyn's three year pictures taken at Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon.
