3 Month Brooklynn

I feel like Brooklynn is growing so fast. Some mornings she looks like she's grown overnight. She is smiling lots, and loves to coo. The other day was the first time she recogonized her self in the mirror. It was adorable! She got really excited and started smiling and cooing at herself. I love this stage. We love our Brooklynn!

The Month of June

This month has been a super busy month for the Osbornes. First off, I finished teaching at the end of May. After that we spent some time in Utah (with the Engebretsens), then in California for a week (with Derek's Family), back to Utah for a week (visiting lot's of family and saying our goodbyes). After our vacation a 2 day car ride cross country with a 3 month old, Brooklynn was a true trooper to Michigan, and that's where we are now. We've been here a week, and are loving it. We love our new ward and neighbors. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming. It's a good thing we like it so far, because we will be here for 4-5 years. Below has lot's of pictures...I hope you enjoy!

This is at my Grandma & Grandpa Hale's house. We were there for Father's Day weekend and had a lot of fun with them, and some of my siblings were there. I also got to see a lot of extended family before I left.

Our little family

Fun with the Engebretsens

Here is a picture of my cousin Amy and I. This is taken right before she opened her mission call. She is going to the Norway Oslo mission. I was so happy I could be there to watch her open her mission call, and see how EXCITED she got when she found out where she was serving.

One night at the Engebretsens we had some trampoline fun. It started off with a sit war competition (which really brought me back to my child hood days). Amy demoniated! That same night we put mattresses down their stairs and made a slide (again brought back childhood memories). Needless to say we had a blast!

I love this picture because it looks like Derek is trying to reach for the moon (that small little white dot is the moon).

This is right after a run up Provo Canyon (beautiful canyon). This was my first time running after I had Brooklynn, and let's just say I was a little sore.

Sunny California

We always love going to California and spending time with Derek's family.

Brooklynn right before church.

We were able to go to the beach one day, which I loved. Brooklynn slept most of the time so I was able to go play in the water. This picture makes me laugh because you can tell who's from California and who's from Idaho. Yea...Derek and I are a little white.

We loved swimming in my in-law's back yard. My mother-in-law held this umbrella over Brooklynn while she was in the water so she wouldn't get sun burned. Brooklynn loved the water.

Here's Karly (Derek's little sister) with Brooklynn in the spa.

Goodbye First Graders

This picture was the taken the last day of school. I am so glad I was able to teach. It was a huge learning experience for me. I loved my students a lot, and I will miss them, but I am so glad I can stay at home with Brooklynn.
