What we've been up to

Wow... summer is already going way to fast! I have a lot of catching up to do with this thing, but instead of doing lot's of little posts, here is one BIG post. There's lot's of pictures, mostly of the cutest and fastest growing one in this family. Yes, you guessed it, Brooklynn. I hope you enjoy, and I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far!!!

I decided to do lot's of collages. You can click on the collage to make it bigger.


I am sure you're all thinking she is a little big to still be taking baths in the sink. Brooklynn was bored, and I was trying to get some things done in the kitchen. I put her in the sink, and she had a BLAST. She was entertained for a good 10 minutes (which is long for her). So for all you Mom's out there with one year olds. If you run out of things to do there's an idea.

Ward Camp Out:


Our first time camping with Brooklynn. I would have to say it was a success! Brooklynn loved it! She was able to be outside, get dirty, and find new toys (like big sticks). One of my favorite parts about camping is the campfire at night. I love tin foil dinners and s'mores. Our friends the Kramers, made us a steak tin foil dinner, and of course it was delicious. The next day we were able to play at the lake.

Finger Painting:


Brooklynn's first time finger painting. She wasn't to sure about it at first. The first thing she did was try to eat it. Notice the blue around her mouth. Silly, silly girl!

Hands on Museum:


We just bought a family pass to our local Hands on Musuem that will last all year. Brooklynn loves to explore this place. Derek came a long with us this last time. I knew he would love it, and he did. There's fun for all ages!

Swimming:


Where we live if you bring out a kiddy pool on a hot summer day the kids come running!!! But I'm not complaining, because Brooklynn loves the company.

Ultimate Frisbee


We thought after leaving BYU-I ultimate days were going to be pretty much over. Luckily, Derek get's the opportunity to play with guys in our ward on Tues and Sat. I think that is what Derek looks forward to most during the week. Brooklynn and I go watch him, but recently we end up having to leave because Brooklynn wants her Daddy and trys to run out to the field everytime he runs by, and then gets upset because she can't have her Daddy. She adores him and Derek adores her!

Anyway, we are loving are summer thus far. We look forward to seeing lot's of family this summer. I get to see my family in 2 weeks...can't wait!
