Brynlee was in 2 sessions of swim lessons this summer and she really had a lot of fun. She was in both session with her friend and they were so excited that they had matching swimsuits.
Ryan had the idea to have all the Bryan's go camping as a Family Reunion. It was a lot of fun. The Cousins had a lot of fun playing together and of course all us Adults had fun talking. I love this picture of Kendal with his pillow case. He drew him fishing with uncle Ryan and the fish they caught. It was fun family bonding.
Presley has been a quick one with wanting to move. At four months she rolled over and was digging her toes into the carpet to propell herself across the room. Then around five months she got up on her knees and starting rocking and sitting up unaided. Now at six months, my little girl is sitting up all by herself and crawling all over! She follows us all over the place. I'm afraid she is going to be walking way to fast!! Because she is already pulling herself up to things to stand. I want her to stay little and enjoy every minute of her being a baby, but it is so fun to see her excelling.
Presley is now old enough to eat food, so we tried her out and she loved it! She doesn't like to you to take a break either. No stopping till she is done! She is growing up so fast!
Our first time camping as a Family. Bryn and Presley have never been, so it was so much fun for both of them. Mom had a hard time sleeping, but it is so much fun to give our little girls this experience. Of course Presley will not remember it so we will have to go again. :)
We went to Green Canyon with the Bryan's for a fun camping trip. Presley wasn't enjoying it at first, but then she decided this really wasn't so bad and decided to suck her toes and fingers. She was so cute kicking her legs in the water too. It was a fun trip.
I work for an awesome company that always has cool company picnics and Christmas parties filled with prize drawings. I never win, until three years ago when I won the grand prize and wasn't there to claim it, so I didn't get it!!!! (It was a 52 in plasma t.v.!) Anyway. Last year I won a clock and this year I was shocked to win a trampoline!! Brynlee was ecstatic! It was two days before her birthday and they said we could pick it up on her Birthday, so she thought of it like another birthday gift. She has been having a blast with our new toy. This picture is her having fun with the sprinkler under it! Yay for prizes!
So Brynlee turned 4 in July and we celebrated with a pool/slip n' slide party. It was so much fun! She got fun stuff, but she really wanted a table and chair for her room, so we got her this Dora one that she loves. I can't believe my little girl is growing up so fast. Soon she will be in my preschool class. So fun.
Ryan and I met at the very end of 2000. We both new right away that we were meant for each other. Ryan doesn't mind taking things slow, so I didn't convince him to get married till Dec of 2002! We had dated nearly two whole years. We didn't try for children that first year, and after almost a whole year of trying, I woke up one morning in extreme pain. That's when we discovered I had endometriosis. I had to have a few surgery's and still no luck! I work with children and so badly wanted to have some of our own. We decided in virto was our best option. We made the appointments and were just about to go, when a miracle happened. We discovered that I was actually pregnant! I was so scarred something might happen, but we got a beautiful perfect baby girl in the summer of 2007 that we named Brynlee. She is so much fun and we are blessed everyday with her. We are still trying to get her some siblings and may have to actually go through with in vitro in the future, but Family is what life is all about. Ryan grew up on a Farm in Rexburg, so we spent the first 5 years of marriage in the family farm house that was over 100 years old, it had character. Ryan has since changed over to working at Valley Wide as a Fertilizer Applicator, so I got my wish to move back to Idaho Falls. I work at a Koala Kids Academy as a Preschool Teacher and as Supervisor. I can tell you I do actually miss our quiet country farm house, but would never trade back our new house that doesn't have any problems with it.
