Bus

My sweet little girl now rides the school bus home!  She was so excited for this new adventure, while I was extremely nervous.  I'm very proud of her for being so brave.  She loves riding the bus with friends and especially likes not having a seat belt.  A bonus for me, now I don't have to wake the little girls from nap time as early to get her from school.

Helping

I love it when my girls are excited to go somewhere.  Makes my life much easier!  Brynlyn loves to be the big sister in charge, helping get shoes on, pick out clothes and especially accessories.  She even guides Peyton out the front door and into her car seat.  Leaving the house with three little princesses is getting easier (most of the time)!

Fabric

I'm so glad Peyton loves her new tag blankie I made!  Before tag blankie... she was walking around the house with some of my underwear.  She loves textures, and the soft nylon fabric was her fav!  So we took a trip to the fabric store last time we visited my parents.

I let her feel and touch tons of fabrics before she picked out the perfect one.  I wasn't sure a 2 year old would have a preference, but she was so funny.  When we had the fabric cut from the bolt, Peyton got really upset crying "no sharp".  She must have thought she was getting the entire bolt.  The end result is exactly what I was hoping for!  Mom is all smiles, Peyton loves her blankie and no more underwear strewn around the house! :)

Bumbo

 Miyah is changing so fast, practically growing before my sleepy eyes.  I was very excited for her to be old enough to sit up in the bumbo chair.  She really enjoys sitting and seeing everything at a new angle.  But, I want her to stay a sweet little chubby baby as long as possible!

Close to bedtime all three girls get a bit whiny.  Miyah cried hard for a couple minutes, then she was out and sleeping peaceful in her chair.  Totally reminds me of her daddy sleeping in his chair.

 A typical morning at our house while I pick out the clothes and get diapers changed!  Big sisters love share everything with Miyah. 

And this just makes me smile!

As we get the baby items from storage the older girls are super excited for the fun new toys.  Peyton especially loves the bumbo chair!

Miyah's Blessing

 Putting Miyah's blessing dress on.  She was not happy to be woken up and moved from daddy's comfy arms.

 She was very happy when dad was holding her again!

 Our little family before church.

 Some of the family and friends that joined us on Sunday!

Miyah was super good for her dad during the blessing.  Chad did an amazing job.  I am so thankful for a wonderful husband that holds the priesthood and values his calling to bless our family.  It is so wonderful to have all the support and love from so many people on such a special day.

Grandparents

Grandma and Brynlyn in the kitchen, making something good for breakfast.  I love that Brynlyn enjoys being in the kitchen.  Especially when Grandma is in town.

 Grandpa and Miyah both smiling with closed eyes!  This picture makes me smile huge!!!  I love that my dad is so cute and hands on with his grand kids.

Good morning to the sleepy head with crazy hair!  She loves her silky Minnie Pj's and refuses to take them off in the morning.  We often have crying and screaming on the nights that her Minnie Jammie's are dirty.  Oh, check out the sweet new shelves behind Peyton.  Chad finished customizing our entertainment area. I think it looks awesome!

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.
