Piggies!

My little Rapunzel! Her hair is growing so fast! She has always had a ton and it just keeps getting longer. We have trimmed it twice already and I think it is almost time for a real hair cut to avoid the mullet look.
Her hair is just past her shoulders! I love it! I have already had to start buying kids conditioner because baby shampoo just wasn't cutting it, and she has tangles we have to brush out daily. This is the first time I dared put her hair in full out pigtails (I hate doing new things like this because she looks sooo much older) BUt she looks pretty dang cute if you ask me!

RED, WHITE, AND BLUE --Brielle's first fourth

I absolutely LOVE the 4th of July! I have been so excited to dress a baby up for the 4th and now I finally was able to! I am so grateful for our great country and the freedoms we enjoy. THanks to all those who have helped in our cause for freedom. The 4th was fun filled and spent with family.

Our cute little firecracker!

So proud and grateful to daddy.

Brielle all dolled up in her red white and blue!

At the ridiculously packed Kaysville parade. Brielle had fun and waved at everything passing by.

Fun with Papa! My dad and Brielle are best buds. SHe loves him and he can get her to smile at the drop of a hat, and has since day one.

Brielle got this bear from a float at the parade. SHe is OBSESSED with it and kept giving it "loves" it was adorable!!

OK FOR THE NEXT PICTURE: We had some "issues" with the kaysville parade this year and we will NOT be going next year. So--we put out our blankets Saturday night at midnight, did the work and stayed up late to do so. (an awful story in and of itself)

We get to the parade on Monday and have a great spot, just enough for our whole family to sit on the edge of the road. When a few min. before the parde starts the people in the yard next to us, decide that their spot is IN THE ROAD, DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF OUR SEATS. LITTERALLY!!! Are you kidding me people?! Have some class!!

You don't just go stand right infront of someone and put your rear ends in our faces!! SO RUDE.

My sister Ali so politely asked them to move over and said they were standing right in front of us. THey moved over about 3 steps and then 30 seconds later were infront of us again. Two ladies from their group seriously came and stuck their chairs IN THE STREET about 4 feet in front of us!!! SO RUDE! Last time I checked the parade is coming down the street NOT YOU BLOCKING IT OFF!! SOME PEOPLE'S CHILDREN!

THIS IS OUR VIEW OF THE PARADE!! Note: Left: two women red and blue chairs. Middle: grown adults with NO class. Right: THe massive group of people who made their way in front of us. BOTTOM: DO you see my sisters head in this pic? Litterally we stared and this groups bums if we were sitting!

So in order to see the parade we had to go stand in front. Not the best seat in the house.

ANYWAY. We went swimming at my Grandpa's. Brielle is showing off her skills she learned in swimming lessons. We say 1, 2,..3!! ANd she babbles then gets the nerve and pushes herself off the side into my arms!! BIG GIRL!!

AWWWW... Love these two!

After swimming we came home for a short nap and then went to FIREWORKS!!! I have those pics but just haven't loaded them yet. It was so much fun! Brielle kept saying "oooo" when the fireworks went off!

Bikini Babe

How CUTE is She!? I love her and her cute chubby legs! I can't get enough of her smile! Why is a bikini so cute on this chubby body?

Pictures Pictures and more!

I have so many posts I could do separately but to play catch up I decided to post a bunchof pictures. Our little girl is growing up so fast. She is so much fun, and is such a joy to have in our family. She is learning new things everyday and growing like a weed. ( I will do a 9 month post shortly, with more details) Here are few of our recent pictures.



Seriously can't get much better than this. They are so peaceful and innocent.

Cute little munchkin loves to be outside.

She is the biggest cheese ball sometimes. She does this blinking thing that is so funny. She blinks really slow and is silly while she does it. She knows we think it's funny so we laugh, and she will do it over and over.

Awhile back we went to dinner with our friends. Maggie and Brielle are just days apart. Their daddy's are best friends and are only a few days apart as well!

THe girls.

Brielle is very good at keeping her hygiene up. Brushing those gums every day :)

Our happy bright eyed girl.

OK ARE YOU READY FOR THIS STINKIN CUTE PICTURE??? I LOVE IT!! *******************************

******************************************

Is she not the cutest girl every! I love her cute tongue sticking out, love her in zebra stripes, love her scrunchy face, chubby arms and I just want to eat her!

LOVE THE DROOL!

THese pictures were right before she started crawling. She wanted be crawling so bad, and was trying to get the hang of it. THe little monkey!

I have a love hate relationship with this picture. It is so cute of her, but it makes her look so SO old! Where has the time gone?

Love the mischief/evil look in her eyes don't you? I don't know what she is planning but it must be something good!

Hope you enjoy the pictures of our girl. THanks for being a part of our lives, and thanks for being friends to our little family. HOpe you are all enjoying your summer. *cute little bikini body pictures comin soon!* (not mine sillies...brielle's bikini!)

Our Crawlin little gal!

This is when Brielle first crawled!! She was 8 and half months old. Of course she did it while Nolan was gone to Alabama for training. I am such a proud mommy! Now she totally gets around
Ignore my crazy high pitched excited voice.

Fun at Grammy's

Over Memorial Day weekend we went to visit Nolans parents in Salina. We had lots of fun! We went to a festival on our way down that had lots of booths and fun food. (I didn't take any pics there.)

Brielle was introduced to four-wheelers (didn't go on a ride though.)

We went to a family reunion at the park. And it was nice to have so many adoring family members who wanted to take Brielle so Nolan and I got some extra alone time.

Brielle and Lucy playing on the slide

Nolan and I were able to go on a long 4-wheeler ride together while Grammy watched Brielle. It was so fun!

Family togetherness...AHHHhh!

Daddy pushing Brielle on the swing, her first time and she loved it!

Having fun!

Going down the slide!
