My pretty princess Bryn is growing up too fast. Today she turned 3. Here are some of her favorite things to do and say.
1. "I'm not a princess, I'm a girl."
2. "I'm Bryn not Brynlee"
3. When she sees something she loves she will say "That is so incredibly beautiful"
4. She saw a hispanic gentleman in the parking lot at 7-eleven the other day and said "That boy is so lovely."
5. She will change her clothes to a different DRESS at least 5 times a day.
6. She is very picky on what shoes and underwear she wears.
7. She picks her own clothes out in the morning, which only stay on for an hour at the most before she changes them.
8. She can quote ALL of Tangled, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, and most of the Dora episodes.
9. She loves to sing and dance until she knows you are watching her.
10. She has many of her bedtime story books memorized word for word.
11. She has known all of her shapes and colors since she was 18 months old.
12. When Kynzee is crying she will find her binkie and carefully put it in her mouth and come tell me "I fixed her for you mom."

Brynlee is such an amazing little girl. We are so blessed to have her in our family. Aiden would be very bored without her as would Brynlee be without him. They have an amazing bond and friendship that I hope lasts a lifetime. She has had so many medical challenges in her short little life, but that has not stopped her from progressing where she wants to be. We love her beyond words. Happy Birthday to my little girl.

Fun on the Lake

Aiden in a paddle boat with Grandma and Aunt Britt

This weekend we went to Ben's Snow Family Reunion up in Heber City. This was both my kids first time in a boat and they absolutely loved it. Aiden started out in a paddle boat and decided to join Brynlee, Ben and I in the canoe in the middle of the lake. They both LOVED paddling. Bryn wouldn't give up her paddle for anything and she refused to get out of the canoe when we were done. I'm guessing this won't be the last time we are out boating on the water. I am glad they loved it.

Fun in the VERY HOT Sun

Bryn is afraid of the water

This bottom picture is from Kynzee's Blessing day, but I thought it fit in with this fun day. I love watching my kids laugh and smile. The water fun pics are at a park in St. George. We had to go all the way to the other side of the city to get to this water pad. It was 106 degrees today and for us that came from 70 degree weather (when we left) to 106 is quite a culture shock. We all came with Ben on his business trip to St. George. He has been going out of town EVERY week this month and we all wanted to join him this time. I think it has been a good change for the kids, although it's not much different then being at home. Ben's grandma let us stay at her home while she is in Syracuse with family. Aiden has made more then one comment that he thought it was nice to feel like we had our own house. Ben and I totally agree and hope to able to give him that soon.

Pampers

Oh my GOSH!!! The weirdest thing has been happening the last couple days. First of all, I have yet to find a diaper that is completely leak free. Every kid seems to be different and different diapers work for each of my kids. I thought that pampers were doing the best for Kynzee, boy was I WRONG. No other brand of diapers seem to be able to handle her "newborn explosions" I thought pampers were doing the best job. The last couple days they have NOT been leaking out the legs. They have NOT been leaking up her back (only a few times). They have been leaking right through the diaper. How is this flippin possible? It's not because I wait forever to change her. I have to change her immediately because she has such sensitive skin. I have never seen anything like this before. The funniest thing is that the most expensive diaper brands SUCK. I guess my search is still on, CRAP!

My Daddy and Me

I couldn't ask for a better father. He is truly my hero. He has taught me such amazing things in my life. He is such a wonderful example to me. He is so strong in the church and I love how he loves the gospel. He is such an amazing husband and I know he loves my mom with all his heart. He is such a good role model for my brothers. They are such good boys because of his example. Thank you dad for being so amazing and loving me. I love you with all my heart.

Kynzee's Baby Blessing

Today we blessed our baby girl, Kynzee. The day was interesting and didn't turn out the way we had planned, but overall it was an okay day. The dress Kynz is wearing was made by Ben's mom. It was absolutely beautiful and I am so grateful to her for making it for our baby girl. It was amazing. Thank you Teresa, we love you so much.

The pictures of my three kids are so precious to me. We can never seem to get them together and cooperate, but Brynlee was actually pretty cooperative. I think she is starting to like her picture taken now, which is so helpful. I love my three peanuts so incredibly much that it hurts sometimes. I am so grateful that I am blessed and privileged enough to be their mother. I just hope that I can one day live up to what they deserve.
I LOVE YOU Aiden, Brynlee and Kynzee.
