Weddings, Lagoon and Lots of Grandma Time

Aunt Madison and Uncle Luke- Mr. and Mrs. Storrs!
Brynn with Aunt Dani, they are bestest buddies.
My cute girl in her pretty dress. She looks so grown up!
Dinner with the family at Asian Star for Haeli's 18th birthday. From left: Haeli, her boyfriend Kennan, Landon, McKell, Grandma Jillyn & Brynn, Lacie, Dwight, Me, Dani and Grandpa Dwight.

Brynn and I went to visit my old roommate Dallas and her way cute baby Gavyn.
Brynn loves to swim! Here she is swinging at Lagoon-a-beach and walking through the lazy river with Grandma Jillyn and Aunt Lacie.
She LOVES the up-down, up-down (merri-go-round)


Choo-choo trains are her ultimate favorite so we had to ride this a few times.
Stylin in my shades! I have taught her to say "I get it from my Mama" because our personalities are so much alike.
Chowing down on corn on the cob, the only veggie she'll eat.
Headed home! It was a short but sweet trip and we are always sad to leave. We were so busy our entire trip between Madison's wedding, Haeli's birthday, visiting with friends and extended family and trying to get in the yearly trips to Lagoon and Park City we had a lot to accomplish in just 4 days! I'm sure we left someone or something out but i vow to be back soon.


Damn Airlines (yes I said damn and you'll see why)

Brynn looking out the window for the first flight. It was the first time she had her own seat and she LOVED it. She's my little jet setter.
Jammin on Aunt Dani's I-Pod while we are waiting. Notice that she is just in a diaper, her mom was completely oblivious to changing her and she peed through onto her pants so we had to dry them under a hand dryer in the bathroom. Poor kid.
We convinced her the moving walkways were a way fun ride and we had to ride them constantly for at least 3 hours. Fun stuff!

So we did what we were supposed to do. We bought the tickets months in advance, we kept our bags under the required weight limits and we showed up 1 1/2 hours prior to departure time. Only to find out that they cancelled our first flight because of weather problems in Houston so we were moved to a later flight which of course throws our second flight back. The original flight was supposed to leave at 3:22 and get into Salt Lake at 8:35. We left Monroe at 5:55 and got into Salt Lake at 1:10am. Yes you heard me right, AM!!! Now that is pretty rediculous to me when all they need to do is get me there on time, with a 2 yr old and all of her stuff, that's not asking too much. We were in the houston airport wandering around for almost 6 hours. I have to admit that I am pretty lucky because even up until the 11:30 take off out of Houston Brynn was smiling and waving at everyone that walked past her seat. It was a rough start to the trip but my girl was amazing.

Lizards & Princess Jammies




First, the princess jammies. My mom bought this for Brynn the last time we went to her house and she loves it. We wash it 3 times a week because she wants to wear it everyday. Second, not only do we have to deal with the nasty southern roaches that do not go away but we found 2 lizards in the house today. The first one was sitting in the door frame so I slammed the door and was scared to go in until Tim came home. Weak, I know. The second one was in my dishwasher! Yes you heard me right. Sorry for all you lizard activists out there but because it would literally impossible to catch a 2inch lizard in your dishwasher, we just turned it on. Ooops. I was not going to dig him out!

Summer Fun



Swimmin at the MAC, thanks for the cute swimsuit Grandma Carla!
The girls that I work with and I before a fun night on the town!


Reading with daddy.
CHEESE!!!!
Loves her baby and stroller!
Summer is definitely here in the dirty dirty! It has been in the 80's sinse February but the past month the temperatures haven't dropped below 95, with 90% humidity. Now don't get me wrong, if I'm on a beach in St. Thomas humidty is perfectly ok with me but when you get into bed at night and your sheets are damp, that's not ok. We have spent A LOT of time at the pool or inside because it is just too hot to be outside! We went to Grandma Jillyn's last weekend for my sister Madison's wedding shower and we are heading back to the SLC next week for the wedding. No humidity! Woo-hoo!! And the fabulous food, I can't wait to eat.

Backfire

So the big girl bed seemed like a good idea at first but it has completely backfired. She has decided she wants nothing to do with her bed at all now and only wants to sleep in the full bed in the guest room. Fabulous. Hopefully we don't have any visitors soon because they will have to sleep in Brynn's big girl bed.
