Hiking in Jackson Hole

On the 3rd of July we went hiking with Ryan's family. It was a lot of fun. the little girls kept going because they were like Dora the explorer! They always had an eye out for swiper the sneaky fox, but we never did see him. ;o)
Brynlee & her cousin Peighton look a lot alike, so I love this cute picture of them together.

Brynlee's first Hair Cut

Brynlee's hair has really been bothering me lately with how scraggly it looked, so we went and got all the yucky stuff cut off so now her hair looks better. She thinks she is pretty cute too. :)

My sweetie.


Ryan doesn't really like getting his picture taken, but sometimes he is a good sport and we actually get one of us together! It is summer, so that is why you get to see me looking so pasty white next to my super tan husband! He is such a cutie! :)

Cousins

We had a lot of fun watching the fireworks with family over the 4th. Here are 4 of the 5 grandgirls on the Summers side. They were having a lot of fun playing together.

Presley

Presley looked so cute on the 4th of July!! My friend got her this adorable outfit and she is too cute not to share. ;o)

Best Friends!

Most people from college said they never say one of us with out the other! We even got nicknamed Molly and Harnie from one of our friends. I think it was really great growing up with such a close friend. I'm lucky enough to have Ryan as my other best friend now, but their will always be a really close bond between Marnie and I.
Thanks for visiting Marnie!!!

Marnie Visit's

Marnie came out to visit over the 4th of July. I got to see her Thursday and Friday on the 7th and 8th!!! It was so good to see her. She moved to Dallas the end of November and I have really been missing my Best Friend! We have grown up together! I never had a sister, but I would claim her as my sister any day!! We have always had each other, so it has really been hard not having her here. She even missed Presley being born. Marn was very excited to finally meet Presley. We had so much fun just catching up.
We also went shopping and and good old girl time together. I really hope we can all go visit her sometime soon!

Rockin'

After Presley impressed me with her sitting skills, she got up on her knees and starting rocking. Next she is going to try and crawl!!! Wow. Big girl. :)

Presley Sitting Up

I had Presley sitting up between my legs when I realized that she wasn't using me for support. I moved and here she sat for a couple minutes before toppling over! What a big girl! She is five months. Bryn did not sit up till she was over 6 months. I was not expecting this. Don't grow up too fast Presley!

Presley is Four Months!

My cute little baby girl is growing fast! She is already four months old as of yesterday!!! She got to go to the Doctor for her check up and is now 14pounds 4.5 oz. and is 25 and 3/4inches long. He said she is in the 95th percentile for height, 70th for weight and 50th for her head. She is healthy and growing like she should be. She can roll over now and she reaches for things. She jabbers all the time too. It is so cute. We love her so much. It is amazing how quickly your life changes and how you really can't remember what it was like with out these little precious babies in your life!

Daddy's Girl

I just have to say, my girls have the best Daddy! Ryan loves to do things with them both. (not so much diapers, but fun stuff)
One night he had me bring Bryn up to ride in his fertilizer truck. She loved getting to sit on the little seat. She also loves having him throw her in the air. I thought it was really cute how he was playing on the tramp with her at my Dad's b-day party.

My Dad turn's the big 60!

My Dad is always a good sport, so I got him this great hat to wear on his B-day. We had a fun party in his backyard. We even got his Sister, Aunt and Cousin to drive out from Virginia for the party. The grand-kids liked helping with the presents. We had lots of friends and Family over too. It just happened to be a beautiful day too! The day before it rained all day and the day after the wind would have blown us all away!
Presley looked so cute that day too! :)

Whoops!


I was trying to get a cute picture of Presley in the tub, but instead got water right in her face. I felt bad. She got water right up the nose. This is why you don't give a bath and take pictures at the same time! :)

Cousin Fun

Peighton and Ellee came to visit a couple weeks ago. Ellee didn't want her picture taken with these guys, but here is Peighton with Bryn and Presley. I think is is pretty cute! Bryn and Peighton look a lot alike!

Mother's Day


What more could a girl ask for? These two are adorable and have my whole heart! I am so very thankful to have these precious girls be mine!

Brynlee's Dance Recital

Brynlee had her Dance Recital the end of April. Her Teacher was not very organized this time. (It was a new Teacher) So I really didn't get good shot's of Bryn dancing. She had taller girls in front of her. It was still fun to watch and Presley was dressed cute to watch her big sis.

Smiling Girl


I was so lucky to get this cute smile from Presley. She was just chilling on my Dad's lap laughing at the ceiling fan. Then she turned to me at just the right moment. My Dad was busy ignoring me. :)
I love that smile, it makes my heart melt. These little moments make motherhood so worth it!!
All those years of infertility make me appreciate every little thing she does.
I got a pretty good laugh today. She had spit up all over herself, so I put her in the tub for a bath. After I placed her on her changing table to dry her off, she sneezed. Not normally a big deal, execpt when she sneezed, it forced some poop to fly out her bum! That girl had some big force behind it. It shot all the way to her closet door! This is something she won't want me to remember, but it really did make me laugh really hard, even while I cleaned up the mess.

Diva in Training



Bryn had dance practice today, so we had 2 take a few pictures of how cute she looked. She posed w/ her hand on her hip. Silly girl. What is scary is how grown up my little girl looks!
She is such a cutie! I just am so lucky to have my girls! I just wish they didn't grow so fast! I look at her and still can see my little baby Brynlee sometimes. Yesterday Ryan was playing peek a boo with Presley and Brynlee was laughing so hard. It struck the memory of when Brynlee was little and would laugh at her Dad when he played it with her. I'm glad she still thinks Daddy is funny, because I know someday she will not feel that way. I hope that her teenage years she will still need us and not be embarrassed by us too much. We are a lot older than her. Ryan and I were talking about this. We are the same age as our parents were when they stopped having kids, and we are just getting started. So we will be the older parents at all the kids functions! I hope we will still be cool to her! :)

2 Months


These pictures are always so sad. Presley getting her two month shots. Yeah, this was a few weeks ago, but I'm not on top of my blogging.
I can't even find my sticker that tells me exactly how much she had grown, but I remember she weighed 11lbs 3oz and was 23 inches long. But I can't remember percentile.
I do know that this little girl's cry makes me want to cry. I love her so much already. Who wouldn't?
I do have to say that Brynlee thought this was justice seeing someone else get a shot though. She kept saying I had one too Presley. Which she did back in September!

Presley's Blessing Day


We blessed Presley on March 27,2011. She was exactly two months old. I had this planned for a while, but the week before my Grandma Denning died at the age of 92. So I didn't know if I should change it. I didn't because of family coming to her blessing, so we had a very emotionally draining weekend. My Grandma's viewing was on Friday, Her funeral on Saturday and the baby blessing on Sunday. I cried a lot that weekend. All good cry's, but still very draining. My Grandma's funeral was beautiful. She lived a very full and long life and I'm so grateful I took Presley for her to see the week before she died. My Grandma left a huge legacy behind. 28Grandchildren and 56Great Grandchildren with 3 more on the way. I always wanted a big family too. I am so lucky that Heavenly Father has listened to our prayers and answered them with these two Beautiful little girls. I still pray that we can add to our family, but I am not ungrateful for what I do have. I love my family. I am so lucky to have Ryan, Brynlee and Presley!!

Me and my Beautiful Girls!

This is my favorite shot of the day. Sweet smile.
She started smiling at 5 weeks for me and others on 6 weeks. Now she is smiling a lot. I love it!
I splurged on Presley's cute ruffle butt. Too cute!
