Facer/McKay Visit July 31

We had Brady & Cambria and Kaili over for dinner and just to hangout. I made homemade chicken enchiladas and red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. All the food was a hit. I was so glad. Even though it was my own cooking I was pretty impressed with myself. It was totally fun! Plus we have 5 littles kids under the age of 3 in our apartment. It was crazy, but crazy fun! It was so great to see everyone. Brooklind loved meeting new friends that were more her size.

Bridgette & Brooklind - new BFFs. They were soooo cute together

This little one next to Brooklind is one of Kaili's kids her name is Bridgette. They are like 4 months apart.

These two above are Brady and Cambria's (Z & Preslee) She is only about 2 months old.

Meet up with Erin

Brooklind got to finally meet my good friend Erin Dekker. It was so good to catch up with her. I am so glad she moved back to California. Her and I are both not Utah lovers at all. We just hung out, chatted, shopped, drove around. etc. I have known Erin since I was a little little kid so we have hung out alot especially when I started driving. I used to own a white jeep Cherokee. NO JOKE...but while her and I were out and about and went to this shopping center called Bella Terra in Huntington Beach I see MY jeep. It was my exact one. My dad said he had sold it to this guy that lives in Garden Grove for his teenage daughter. So no surprise we saw it there. It was funny.

Erin loved playing with Brooklind. We would have gone swimming, but it was a little chilly that day.

Where did July go??

July just flew by. I can't believe it is now August. It seemed like so much happened in July. At church I was called to be part of the activities committee which I didn't think was so bad until they called Stephen and I to team teach Sunday school for the 14 & 15 year olds. Honestly the activities things takes more time, but preparing the lessons for Sunday school are really rough for me because I am not a scripture master at ALL! I did teach for the first time last Sunday and Stephen said I did good (I don't know if he was just being nice).

For Fourth of July we spent it in Big Bear at my parents and got to see the fireworks over the lake. Brooklind slept through the whole show. It was so awesome because at night in certain areas of Big Bear bats are flying around and they fly so low that they almost hit you. We went to my parents ward up there and took pictures of Brooklind in her 4th outfits.Basically we usually just hang out at the cabin: watch movies, go to the village, the boys go shooting, sleep, eat, etc. It was really warm up there that weekend too.Awwwww I love this picture of us!My parents had the johnny jumper in storage so we got it out...Brooklind loved it so much that she would just fall asleep in it Brooklind with her cousins at a 4th of July party

Pool time!

Lounging in the sun

Brooklind absolutely loves the pool. She sits back and chills in her little floaty. She has been in it about 3 or 4 times now. She also likes when you just hold her and put her on her tummy and she kicks. Its sooo cute!
