Happy Birthday Brynlee!

Our baby is 1! I can't even believe it! She is so stinkin cute and so much fun. We went to her doctor's appointment Monday and she weighed 17 lbs 12 oz and was 29 inches long. She is still little, but at least she's still on the chart. We just had a little party for her with Jordan and I. She got a ball and a doll from mom and dad and some clothes and a book from Gramy and Grandpa. She is so cute with her baby doll. She wasn't too sure about the cake, but I think she was too full from dinner to truly enjoy it. I don't think she liked the feeling of sticky frosting on her hands. Here are a few pictures from her birthday:

She is walking very well now and learning more words. She absolutely loves being outside and most especially dogs. She does the actions to "Monkeys Jumping on the Bed," "Little Bunny Foo Foo," and a few other nursery rhymes. I'll have to post video of it later. It is adorable to watch. She even folds her arms for prayers. She loves playing with other little ones, especially Libby and Jayden. She is so wonderful! I feel so lucky to be her mom!


One of Brynlee's new favorite things is the broom. She loves to sweep! I wish she loved the vacuum. She is scared to death of it! Everything else here is about the same. Jordan is doing well in school and enjoying clinic. I'm loving being home most of the week with Brynlee.

Wedding

I do realize that there are a ton of pictures here and half way through trying to post them here, I just decided to do them on Facebook which was ridiculously easy compared to this, but I was persistent, so they are both places. Gerrit and Rebecca's wedding was beautiful! I am so grateful I could go. Jordan didn't go so he is missing in the pictures. I didn't take many pictures myself since my hands were full most of the time so thanks Dad for the pictures! I am excited to see the pictures their photographers took! This temple is so incredible! I love it!

We also got to go to Sea World the next day which was way fun, but way hot. Brynlee seemed to enjoy herself for the most part.

This picture was taken when she was sad because she wanted to push the stroller instead of be pushed in the stroller, but as soon as the camera was pointed at her, she quickly put on a smile for the picture and then would go back to being sad until it was pointed at her again.

This is the family picture we took this last weekend. It maybe, but hopefully won't be the last time we're all together before Mark leaves on his mission.
