First day...

Mixed emotions sending my little girl off to Kindergarten.  Is she really old enough for this huge milestone?  I think I'm still in shock, but she was so ready!  It's similar to last year with Pre-School, only she is in a much larger place with so many more people!  Makes me nervous.  My family is growing up so fast.  Peyton was not excited for sister to leave her second day of kindergarten.  Her response to Brynlyn saying goodbye was "I'm ready set go" with tears and a choked up voice.  That's what she says when we put our shoes on and head out to the car as a family!

 What a big girl in her favorite new outfit with braids and part of a pony tail(her favorite hair do)!

Giving little sister goodbye kisses!

Mrs. Schmitz is her teacher for PM Kindergarten.  She is very nice and we are excited to have her.

 Brynlyn heading in her classroom, without even a glance back at mom!  So proud!

Second day outfit!  She is loving her new wardrobe and wanted a picture before school again.  We could have tons of photos if she wants to document all her fun new outfits and hairstyles!

Brynlyn was in awe at the schools meet n greet night!  She is so excited to have such an awesome classroom and cant wait to find out what everything is for.

Kitchen Help

I have the best Kitchen Staff any girl could ask for!!!  They love to help and usually with a smile.  Last night Brynlyn even informed her dad that she would be doing all the dirty dishes after dinner and to get out of her way.  With Chad's supervision the girls shucked the corn on the cob and prepared it for dinner.  Peyton thought it might taste yummy without cooking first.  She changed her mind fast after biting into an ear.  I love the fun little moments!

Miyah

Sweet chubby little Miyah is 2 1/2 months old!  She recently started smiling, especially for her daddy and big sister!  Brynlyn is very proud that Miyah will calm down when she sings Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.  Brynlyn and Peyton adore their new sister and give her just the right amount of attention with out driving her nuts.  They are great helpers and bring me diapers and search for Binky's when needed.  I love that Miyah enjoys her Binky, the older two refused Binky's!  It's so great to be able to calm her down by plugging in her bink.  At the 2 month doctor check up Miyah weighed 12.2 lbs.  She is the biggest of the three girls at this age.  I am loving this sweet little girl so much.  However, I would like to sleep again and feel more like a normal person without headaches and confusion floating around me! :)  It is very amazing to me that I am the mother of three beautiful daughters!  Even though I am very sleepy most of the time, I am continually thanking my Heavenly father for my beautiful family. 

Quote by Gordon B. Hinckley " You women, be kind and gracious and generous. Strengthen your children with your faith and your testimony. Lift them up. Help them to walk through the troubled ways of the world as they grow in this very difficult age. Support, sustain, uphold, and bless your husbands with your love and your encouragement; and the Lord will bless you."



August

I am awake again!  I don't recall the last time I slept through the night.  Am I even awake right now?  What day is it?  Should I be getting dressed for something?  Oh well, I think I will stay right here with my three little princesses in our pajama's!  June, July and part of August were spent at home in our pj's enjoying our newest addition and trying to adjust with no sleep!

Just when I thought I was getting a new schedule dialed we decided to vacation in Utah with my wonderful parents for a couple weeks.  The girls were very spoiled and enjoyed spending extra time with the grandparents.  Grandma hooked them up with some great Disney movies and a spot in the living room to enjoy so mom could sleep in with the baby!

 Brynlyn and I spent some time at the Salon and had our hair trimmed.  Look at this cute smile!  The only way to get her real, true smile... is to tease her about farting! :) 

 Enjoying a huge waffle cone with friends at the old fashioned soda fountain at Bulloch Drug on main street.  Where I worked all through high school and beyond.

 The great outdoors!  Everyone loved the time spent at the cabin in Cedar Mountain just past Duck Creek Village.  We made smores, ate lots of good food, played in the dirt, the swings, and colored in the cabin when the weather was to hot.  Chad, my dad and uncle Larry spent a good amount of time hunting.  Miyah spent quality time in the baby carrier with mom.  While Brynlyn and Peyton ran circles around us!

Chad took Brynlyn on a deer hunt around the cabin, she felt like the best hunter in the world and swore she saw something!

We are loving life and how busy it is!  Trying to enjoy our family of five and juggle it all with a smile.
