Happy Birthday Princess!!!

Braylee turned 4 yesterday!!!! Wow!! I still can't believe she is that old. The day started out a little rough. She wasn't feeling so well. That's just our luck. 365 days in the year and she had to get sick on her birthday. By mid afternoon she was doing much better and perked when she found her present. This is a picture her birthday banner that I made for her.

She has been begging us to take her to Build-A-Bear, so we took her for her birthday. Right when we walked in she knew exactly which bear she wanted. We tried to make sure she saw all of her choices before she picked one, but she knew she wanted the pink bear!

I should have taken a picture of the finished product. We walked out with a pink bear wearing a pink dress, with pink bows! What can I say...the girl loves pink:)

Yes that is the Michael Jackson movie! Her grandparents and her aunt both have this movie and she watched it with us about 6 months ago. I think she has seen it about 100 times since then. She loves Michael Jackson. It is so funny to watch her sing all the songs. She can tell you exactly what is going to happen next.

Thanks everybody for spoiling her! She had a great birthday!!

New Do!

What do you think of the new hair? I have been wanting to cut Braylee's hair for quite a while now, but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. I about had a heart-attack after the first snip, but I am so glad we cut it now! I love it!!!! Thanks Jenica:)

Lake Powell

Have you ever seen anything cuter? Grandpa Kevin bought her her very own wet suit. I think she wore it the almost the whole time we were there. At one point it was cover inside and out with sand.

Once Tyson discovered the sand, he did not want to get out. And it was not a fun project getting all of the sand out of his hair and his diaper!

Isn't he amazing? And look at that water! People are nuts not to go down in the spring. There was no one there so the water was awesome for 4 days it was 80 degrees the whole time! There is no need to post a picture of me water skiing cause after you have seen that...I don't look so good:)

The Kayaks (aka the chippas to Michelle!)
I rode around with Tyson in mine for about an hour until he fell asleep. He loved it.

We have been asking Braylee for two years now if she wants to water ski and she keep telling us she will when she turns 5 and Cole comes home. But when Grandpa showed up with a wet suit for her she all of a sudden decided that she was ready. There are no pics of her actually skiing on the water because...well lets just say it didn't end well, but she was a brave girl and did so good! We are so proud of our little skier:)

This video was so cute I had to show it off. Listen to his laugh!

So Glad They're Mine

Just look at those eyes! I can't get over them. (You'll have to excuse Braylee's facial expression...she didn't know I was taking a picture)

Easter Fun!

"Grandma Stephie" had Braylee over to color Easter eggs last week! Braylee had so much fun. She made a green one for Tyson that had his name on it, a blue BYU for daddy and a pink one with flower on it for me. She got a little carried away while dipping the eggs and spilled the blue die on grandma's chair. (Sorry Grandma)

Making rice krispie treats

Grandma let Braylee decorate the egg shaped treats all by herself. The top left one is for daddy cause she knows how much he loves blue :)

Thanks Grandma!

Finding her basket in the morning. She found Tyson's first!

Tyson found the candy!

Braylee waiting patiently, and trying not to peek, at Grandma Julie's while daddy and grandpa Kevin hid the Easter eggs.

Braylee and Emily. I really wish she lived closer so they could play more often.

Yes, That's a Brick of Cheese!

So...I had my crazy son on the counter while I was making dinner the other night, and I got out the cheese to put some on top of the enchiladas. You can see what happened next:)

Born to Baby-Sit!

We got to tend cousin Cohen over night last week, and Braylee was in heaven. She wanted to hold him the whole time. When she found out that he was going to be sleeping over night, she immediately decided he was going to sleep in her room. When she found out that wasn't an option and that he had to sleep in mommy's room, she came up with another plan...Mom would sleep in her bed and she would sleep in Mom's bed with baby Cohen! Let's just say it took a lot of convincing to get her to sleep in her own bed:)
