The Baking Crew

Rylee, Brooke, Hannah, and Hailey

Daph asked if Brooke and I wanted to join her and the girls, along with Danielle and Rylee at the cupcake camp put on my Icing on the Cupcake ( a cupcake shop in Rocklin) and I am so glad we said yes! It was adorable and a well spend 5 bucks! The girls walked in and were assigned a table. They were given a hat to decorate and an apron to wear. Then they each got lots of supplies to decorate to yummy cupcakes. They could even lick their knives, since the frosting was only for them!! The girls has such a fun time and left with 2 yummy cupcakes. Brooke, Bri and Daddy enjoyed them for dessert! It was a great afternoon activity with our "sweet" friends!

Enjoying some cupcakes!

Saturday we were lucky enough to go to two birthday parties! First we stopped at Rylee's rodeo. The girls were dressed in their cowboy best! It was awesome. There was a petting zoo and ponies to ride. Both my girls were in heaven. Dani and Brad had the place decorated super cute, with the perfect cowboy touch. We are were so lucky to spend such a great day with our friend Rylee that we love so much!!!!

Then we headed to Tracy for Katelyn's Luau, but I was so busy watching the two girls (Daddy stayed home to fix the garbage disposal and the dishwasher.....AH!) that I didn't get a chance to take too many pictures but here is one of the cute little sisters enjoying some fun in the sun. I am so glad we got to be there to to see our dear friends! I so wish we lived closer so we could see them more. Krista always does such a cute job with all the details of the parties, and the baking too! I can't wait for our next get together!!! Love you all lots!

Brianne 18 months

At 18 months you might find Bri with all the baby dolls, her tag books, or running around in princess shoes.............

Or you might find her in her newest spot...............the top of any table, couch, or bed she can find!

Life with sweet Brianne, Bri , Bri Bri, Sissy, Bubby, is pure joy. This child is a DELIGHT! Even in her "trickiest" of moments she finds a way to make us laugh.......

~Bri is eating anything and everything she can get her hands on, but she likes to do it herself! She eats great with a fork and spoon

~She has great hand eye coordination and has taken a liking to all sports/hands on activities

~Bri can talk up a storm. Even when we went to the doctor , he was amazed at how much she could speak! She can say tons of words. She can tell you where all her body parts are and what a bunch of animals are and what they say. She is a smart little cookie!

~Still likes to follow her sissy around but stands up for herself more and lets Sissy know what she doesn't like

~Weighs 25 lbs. (79%) and is 32 inches tall (60%) She is more on the petite side

~ She has really taken a liking to Taylor Swift and requests the song "Mean" when she gets in the car

~Not too interested in TV yet but does enjoy Dora if it is on

~LOves loves reading books!

~She loves the pool and bath! She will even jump off the top deck of our pool!

~Still a super happy, easy going, friendly little girl who is loved to the moon and back!

There is so much more I could say but that gives a good summary of Bri at 18 months!

First Day of Pre K

Ready for 4 year old/Pre Kinder
Brooke requested that we walk to school together
All ready to head in!

"Welcome" centers at preschool

Sissy had to jump in also! (Ooops! A little blurry though)



Yesterday Brooke started her second year at Rock Creek Preschool. I started her last year so she could phase into the Pre K class and become familiar with future classmates. Rock Creek is the school she will attend for Kindergarten to Sixth grade. It was nice for her to see lots of little faces from her class last year and a teacher that she had last year also! She was so excited and marched right in and showed me exactly what she was supposed to do. I am so glad I got to be there to experience this with her and I am so proud of her for adjusting to school so well!

I do have to thank Grammy (my mom) for taking extra good care of her before and after school and to Jen Gordon who will be helping me transport her (it's not easy for a working mom to arrange preschool) We are so thankful that you can aide Brooke in getting this part of her education!

Circus Camp

Patiently waiting for the popcorn!


Brooke went to her second week of camp this summer. This time it was a circus theme. Each day was a new activity around that theme. They made clown hats, walked the tight rope, colored clown maskes, popped popcorn and much more. This week was a double bonus because both her friend Rylee and Marren were in the class. They all had a great time.

We love MUSIC!!!

The Girls (Rylee, Delaney, Haily, Brianne, Harlow, Hannah, and Brooke)

Keeping the beat!

Tamporine Girl!

Enjoying the big drum

Cousin Brennan even got to come when they were here visiting

Whenever they put the instruments away all the girls help. I love this picture of Bri so happy that she on her way to help with the big girls

This is our second year taking Music class and the girls loved it! They loved playing the instruments with their friends, singing along, and dancing around. Bri still sings a song from the class everyday, it is so cute!!! Brooke's favorite was the ball song!!! I loved spending this time watching my girls learn so much and truly enjoying music.
