The joys of having children!

On our way home to St. George we stopped at Grandma Roundy's in Salt Lake to have lunch. Aunt Karen brought her puppy Zoe. Kamryn loved the puppy and followed her around everywhere. It was the cutest dog and I have been trying really hard to convince Taylor to get us a puppy.
Oooohhhh....Puppy, I yuv you! As Kamryn would say.

I set Brynlee in her bedroom so that I could pick up the house a little. And when I went back to her room to get her I couldn't see her, and I later found her underneath the crib. She has been scooting all over the place and is such a busy baby and can't hold still for a second. This is a picture of her attempting to get underneath the crib, but I caught her before she could get there. I had to take a picture cause I thought it was so funny. She gets this from her big sister. Kamryn loves to hide under the crib and of course she ends up getting stuck and I have to go get her.Kamryn and daddy playing horse! She loves to play horse, and we can't lay down on the floor and relax without her jumping on us and saying "Neeiigghh", just like a horse. Hey, cute birthday outfit Kamryn! Thanks Boma and Bompa Hafen.

MMMmmm...Squash! She doesn't like baby food very much. And I am having a hard time getting her to eat. She wants big people food, Kamryn's sippee, and daddy's water bottle. But she could careless about baby food. If we would feed her off of our plates she would be the happiest baby in the world. STINKER!

Thought you all would like a close up of Brynlee's nose and mouth. Ha, ha. I tried to take a picture and she grabbed the camera right as I pushed the button.

What a cute beach baby! The water was to cold to put her in it, so she just played in the sand, her and Kamryn had a blast.

Obviously you can tell that it is hard to get the two girls to look up at the same time. Kamryn was occupied with her sand bucket and Brynlee was in her own little world. So I posed by myself. Cheese!

If we stand Brynlee up next to the couch she will stand all by herself for a little while. I can't believe how big she is getting. She is such a quick learner and I am amazed by her everyday. Both our girls are a huge blessing in our lives and we love them so much. And our lives would be so boring without them. They are a blast to have in our home.

Happy 2 year old Birthday Kamryn!!!...

We started Kamryn's birthday by celebrating Kate and Kamryn's birthday together since they were born three weeks apart. For those of you who don't know Kate, she is Kamryn's Aunt and Chelsey's sister. Kamryn's birthday was August 13th and Kate's was July 17th.

MMMmmm....Snickers cake! I think the cake was the girls favorite part of their party.

They were so excited to get their presents. As soon as we said go, they both opened their presents as quick as they could. It was so fun to watch the two of them together.

We also had a Princess Birthday party for Kamryn with extended family and friends. All the girls wore their princess dresses and crowns. They were all so cute!

What's a princess party without some Princess tears! We would open a present and she would want that gift but we would have put it away to open another, and she didn't like that too much. She had a rough night. We had to wake her up from her nap so we could have her party, and she was not happy and she fussed the whole night. I think having everyone's eyes all on her made her kinda nervous. She is not used to having that many people around. But she still had fun opening presents. She got alot of cute winter outfits from, Boma Hafen, Boma North, and Boma Tano. She also got alot of fun Princess dolls. It was a really fun night and it was so fun to see everyone!

Kamryn's absolute favorite present has been Woody and Buzz (from the Disney movie Toy Story)! She hauls them everywhere she goes and they have to go to bed with her.

Cute Cinderella Princess Cake!!!...

When we showed Kamryn her birthday cake, she had to have Cinderella and the Prince! She cried and cried until we gave them to her.

We didn't have a Princess dress for Brynlee so we put a Hula skirt on her, and I have to say that she is the cutest Hawaiian baby I have ever seen!
The day after her Princess Birthday party we had to drive back home, but Kamryn wasn't the least bit sad because she had Snow White, Buzz, Woody, and Belle to hang out with. She watched her movies and held her toys as we drove home.

The first two years!

Girl fun!

Kamryn is really happy cause she just went poop on the toilet and she got Cinderella stickers!She loves to flush the toilet when she is done! I guess it is pretty cool to watch.

I wanted to get some pictures of the two girls and we only got one good picture, out of the 20 that we took. Kamryn was just happy to have a flower in her hand, and we just happened to catch Brynlee at the right moment.

As you can tell they really didn't want to get pictures. Brynlee didn't like the grass and Kamryn wanted to pick flowers.

I tried to get Kamryn to kiss Brynlee, but Brynlee kept sliding down the grass. This is as good as we could get it.

We let Brynlee try out Kamryn's Sippee straw cup. Surprisingly, she actually sucked up some milk and she really liked it. Her little tongue was going crazy. MMMmmm...

CHEESE! She knows how to say cheese, but she closes her eyes cause she knows that the flash is coming. She was really happy to have her Dora panties on and I think she feels free when the diaper or the pull-up comes off.
We have been trying to teach Kamryn how to do a somersault and she does pretty good. She falls more to the side than in the front.
Hope you guys are having as much fun as we are and we will see you in a week. We won't post anything on our blog for a couple of weeks cause we will be in St. George to see you all. Hooray!

Our new home!

This is the front entry way! This is the living room! This is the dining room! This is our office area that is located in the kitchen! This is the kitchen that still needs alot of work!

This is half of Kamryn and Brynlee's room!

This is the bathroom that the four of us get to share!

This is part of Taylor and Chelsey's room, I still need a picture in that frame!

I found my toes and I love them! I grab them all the time!

Taylor rolled his ankle playing basketball. It looked like this 10 min. after he rolled it.

This is what it looked like 2 days after it happened. Looks a little better.

I love to golf, it is so much fun!
The girl's love their bedtime stories with dad!

Summer fun!!!...

For Family Home Evening we took Kamryn bowling. We went with our friends Beau and Mareesa their little girl Teagan and 5 month old Pearson. Kamryn gets along with Teagan so well!

Kamryn liked the air that came out of the ball return. She would stick her face in front of it and gasp for air and let her hair blow all over the place. It was so funny to watch her.

Brynlee just sat and watched us and smiled the whole time!

Kamryn had fun at Bailey and Bostyn's house sliding down their slide. The girls would slide down the slide and slam into each other and laugh. The kid holding the hose is Emmitt, he is Taylor's buddy from Law School.

Emmit and Ashley have their own lake in their backyard with ducks, fish, turtles, and frogs!

We let Kamryn drive home and boy did she have alot of fun! The lake is half a block away from their home. You drive on a private dirt road so we felt safe letting her drive!

After a long day of swimming in the pool and the lake the girls crashed on the couch and watched the Disney movie Cars.

Rub a dub dub Kamryn and Brynlee in the tub! They love to take a bath together. Aren't they so cute?

Church is too late for Kamryn and she can't even make it through dinner without falling asleep.

Brynlee is rolling all over the place and has been holding her bottle the last few days. She is getting so big and we wished you all could enjoy our little girls and the fun things we get to do her in Spokane. We love you all!!!...
