Going Private

I think we've decided to make our Blog private, so if you still want to be able to read it, let me know. :)

What we love about Brooklyn

Dear Brooklyn,

Dad and I can't get over how much we love you and how cute you are! Here are just a few of the reasons why we love you and think you're so cute:

You'll try new foods. Yummy!

You love playing with your Papa!

Love those cousins!

Being good while mommy works.

Love those legs!!

Love coming in to find you asleep like this.

Can't get enough of those legs and toesies!

You're such a happy girl!

Watching football with daddy.

More cousin time-so glad we have all these cousins around!

You're great at catching animals. :)

Ready for church. Love that face!!

Backpacking

Kenyan and I got to take a little weekend trip up to the Uintahs a few weeks ago. It was nice to getaway for a few days. And thanks to my mom and Lauren for watching Miss B for us while we were gone.

We decided to take Mazee with us since we were going by ourselves. We figured if we wanted to see how she did camping, now was the time to do it while no one else would be with us for her to bother.

About a mile up the trail Kenyan decided to take her off the leash. I was a little worried about this, but she did so good! She would go ahead of us up the trail, stop, look back, wait a little bit, and then keep going. She did this the whole way and stayed right with us! I was amazed considering this is the same dog who bolts out the front door as soon as it's open.

We were going to tie her up to a tree while we went and fly fished the river, but after barely walking away and hearing her bark and yelp we decided to try taking her with us. She would stay with whoever was further downstream.

So, besides the mosquitos being 100x more prevalent than they usually are, and the fact that I really need to get back into shape after having Miss B, we had a lot of fun!

6 Months!

Our little Bugs turned 6 months old on the 16th! I'm proud to say she's maintaining her reign in the 99th percentile for weight and height. Drumroll please....

22 lbs. 10.5 oz.

28 3/4" long

That's our girl!!

We have had a busy, but fun, last month and a half.
