The Cabin

Enjoying some fireworks at the cabin



We decided to go to the cabin after we went to silverwood. It was a fun weekend with Jason and Karyn and Brady and Rachael. We were the first family up there since this past winter so there was a lot of work to be done.
The kids enjoyed the sand and building big sand castles.



We took up the four wheelers and we went up and rode the trails. Madalyn even drove the small one all by herself.

We enjoyed doing smores.




Silverwood

We took the kids to Silverwood last Thursday. Madalyn and Morgan had done a reading program in school where they received free tickets to the park so we had promised them we would go this year.

The weather was a little cold for the water park only a high of 65 that day but a perfect day for all the rides. The best thing about the weather being cold there were less people and no long lines to stand in.
The last hour before the park closed we went to the water park and the kids played for a little while. It was still cold, so not to much swimming happened. They have a fun swim area the kids would have loved it if it was warmer.

They loved riding all the rides, since the girls are in love with horses that was a big hit.



With the lines being short it gave us chance to ride lots of rides and if we wanted to be could ride most of them a few times before going on to the next ride. Which was so nice cause we had to take turns staying with Brooklyn.
There were a few rides she could do, when she could ride she loved them. She just cried when she could not go and could see the girls riding the ride. She thinks she is 5 and as big as them already. She knows what she wants and when she doesn't get it she is mad.

This was the longest ride we had to wait for but the kids really wanted to go on the bumper boats. They could spray water at each other.

Enjoying some fun kids rides. Morgan was our dare devil, she tried all of the really big roller coasters. She really liked them, one was really scary for her she about lost her glasses on that ride. It scared her a little when she couldn't hold on cause she was trying to find her glasses. I was sitting next to her and she was scared she was going to lose her glasses and she would get in trouble. I felt bad cause it was a scary ride we were both trying to hang on to the glasses.

They had quite a few big rides for the kids to go on. What a fun day it turned out to be.


Madalyn was just content to stay on the kids rides, she did go on some big ones but didn't like them to well.

Garden


We have been enjoying the fruits and vegetables from our garden this year. Brooklyn loves the strawberries and raspberries. We picked the peas the other day and the girls are helping pod them.

Brooklyn's First Birthday

Brooklyn turned 1 on Sunday June 26th. I can't believe that it has already been one year. It seems like just the other day that I was in labor with her and then bringing her home. She has added so much joy to our family. She continues to rule our home and make everyone wait on her.

Best Friend Madalyn, these to have the same personality and get along so well. Brooklyn tries to copy her already, it very cute. Some day's she wants her over mom or dad.
Brooklyn has only 2 teeth, she walks along things but can't walk or stand on her own. She loves it outside, and begs us to take her outside. She moves her hands back and forth if she wants someone or something. She loves her plug and blanket to sleep with. She sleeps through the night 5 out of 7 nights. Her favorite food is Strawberries, grapes, watermelon, chicken nuggets, and Mac & Cheese. Her hair is so blond almost white. I can finally put a pony in it.
Brooklyn loves her daddy and his phone. She has already learned how to put it up to her ear and say hello. She says, Ma, Da, and bark like Duke the dog.
Opening gifts on Sunday Morning before going to church. She keep crawling back to Garrett's lay to open them.


"I bet there's money in here"
A few of her cousins and family were able to come over for birthday cake and ice cream


i wanted to make a pink purse cake for her, the cake was suppose to stand up but it fell so you can't see it as well.

She loved eating the cake

Brooklyn stats: height 29 1/4 (56%) weight 18.11 (14%)

Summer Cuts

I was getting really sick of long hair and plus it's so hot these new hair cuts Morgan and Natalie got will be great for summer. Madie didn't want one.
