Since I was just a little girl my family has gone to Lagoon on the same weekend every year. It has been a fun tradition to look forward to. It is so great to have my children enjoy the same traditions. Brooklyn was so brave! I could not believe the rides she went on!
My baby is 2! I can't believe how fast she is growing up. This is such a fun and challenging age- she is into EVERYTHING! I had to call poison control 3 times in one week! She started climbing out of her crib and learned how to open doors, so we officially put her in a big girl bed and she is sharing a room with Brooklyn. They get up much earlier now, but it is so cute to listen to them talk to each other and hear Brooklyn singing her songs and telling her stories to put her to sleep. They are such good sisters! Bridgette has already figured out how to open the fridge and the child proof cabinet locks. I can't leave her alone for 2 minutes to get ready anymore! I am running out of places to hide things from her that are out of reach and I am having to get creative to keep her out of things. Recently when she is doing something she knows is off limits she looks at me and gives me the biggest, cheesiest smile she can in hopes that I will let it slide. It is a good thing she is so cute!

Bridgette carried her baby around all day!
Brooklyn liked the air hockey table.
Brooklyn's preschool class took a fieldtrip to a pond to go fishing and feed the ducks. My kids love animals!
Her cousin Max actually caught a fish!
This duck got a little too close for comfort! He kept nipping at my hands for food and got right in Bridgette's face. Nasty little thing!
If you know my husband at all you know that he is obsessed with Def Leppard. We went to their concert this year and got amazing tickets at a great price. We had a blast! This was a picture Jason took of me on the way there- he wanted me to get all "dolled up" as he would put it. Too funny! We got a few decent pictures of the band too.
A few weeks ago my Grandpa passed away and I wanted to post one of the last generation pictures I got with him. These were taken at our annual Christmas party a couple of years ago. I will miss him dearly and it makes me grateful for the Gospel and the knowledge that we will all be together forever someday. Me and my girls had the pleasure of sitting with his body the morning he died at the care center before the Mortuary came to take him away. We had an amazing experience. I was holding Bridgette and the moment we stood in the doorway she stared at him and pointed in front of him and said, "Jesus." Tears came to my eyes and we went to stand over him and she said again, "Jesus." A few seconds later she said, "Great Grandpa......Jesus." I have never been so humbled by my sweet daughter. I walked to my mom and asked if she had said anything to her before we came and she said she had not. I hadn't discussed anything with her either. I knew she could see far more than we could. I am so thankful for moments like these that bring our eternal purpose back into focus. 4 generations in this picture....Grandpa, my Dad, Me, and Bridgette.
These were some of things at his viewing.
My Grandpa LOVED to ride motorcycles and compete- it has been a family tradition since before I was even born. Some of my best memories growing up are riding motorcyles with my family. These are some of the medals he won.
