Brooklyn's Dance Recital

Brookie is all about dancing:). She is our dancer in the family and she enjoys taking dance classes and performing. She had her dance recital and it was amazing!!! She was all about the moves and she did such a great job. I am so happy that she loves to dance because my sister and I were always in dance classes when were younger.

Thank you to her amazing dance teacher Laura. Brooklyn loves taking dance from her and the recital was such experience for all the kids. Excited for more dance classes in January.

I know it's a little blurry but still cute.

Mariyah's Baptism Day

What a Special evening Friday November 4th was for our family. Mariyah was baptized and it was a very unique night outside. As we were getting ready for her baptism a huge dust storm came about and it was so dusty on our way to her baptism. She looked GORGEOUS in her beautiful white dress. Our stake doesn't do stake baptism's and it was neat because she was baptized with her friend Kaylee. Mariyah did great and she wasn't too nervous. Thank you to all the family and friends who came to her Special Baptism Evening.

Mariyah was Baptized with her friend Kaylee.

Our Family:)

Joshua's mom and brother came from Alaska

Joshua's Dad & Teresa came from Utah:). It was so fun having all
the Grandparents here:).

My parents:). Thank you mom and dad for helping with the Baptism. I couldn't have done it without your help with the programs, setting up and the beautiful pink roses. Love you TONS!

It's Great to be 8!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Mariyah Lyn. She turned 8 on October 6th!!!!
We love you Mariyah:)

We had a birthday party for her at Makutu's Island. I think I am finally caught up on blogging besides blogging about her birthday party then the next blog will be about Halloween then Mariyah's baptism in November and Andrew's 1st birthday. Crazy how times goes by!!!!

Swimming Time

The girls loved our pool for the summer. Every year I get a pool from Target on clearance for the following summer:). The girls had so much fun with the pirate pool and they played great together. Andrew enjoyed getting wet and at times he would crawl in with his clothes on.

Mariyah's friend Kaylee came to visit and they had fun playing.

Pink Hair Extensions

My amazing friend Jesika who does my hair was so sweet to put
pink hair extensions in the girls hair.

Look at her pink hair:)

Alexa and Brookie go their hair done at the Salon.

Our Pet Gecko's

Every night on our kitchen window at least 3 up to 5 gecko's hang out. The girls think it's so much fun because they have "pets". We don't have any animals so this is pretty exciting for them. They're the best pets you can have lol. They take care of themselves, eat bugs and they entertain the girls. The girls gave 2 of them names Kylee and Kyle because in the beginning we only had 2 that would come and hang out on the window.

Cute Brooklyn

I love the way Brooklyn fell asleep. When my girls are tired they can
fall asleep anywhere.

Playing with playdoh after church

I love my Brookie

Brookie took a picture of me and it's probably a smart idea since I take pictures of everyone else and then when I upload the pictures I am not in many of them.

We have lots of chalk that the girls can color with but Brooklyn decided to use a marker.
It did come out which is good.

Brooklyn loves to paint and said mom can you take a
picture of me while I paint lol.

She told me that she had drawn a picture of me:)

Brookies new swim suit. These pictures were taken back in July.
I love her smiles and she is all about princesses and she LOVED her swim suit.

Mariyah's 1st friend sleepover

The girls had so much fun staying the night. They had pizza, made bracelets and had fun playing. I didn't know that 7 year olds could stay up til almost 2 am lol. They had LOTS of fun and in the morning I made them breakfast and we went to the park.

Mariyah's friend Emma came to play and the girls were wearing the same style shirt.

Mariyah said mom look what I made a banana split lol
