Copper Mine

If you live in Utah and have never been to the Copper Mine, it really is something you should at least go and see once! I have lived here all my life and have been there many times growing up. Now that the girls are a little older I figured I would take them. They thought the visitors center was way fun, and loved the interractive things and some of the cook displays. The BIG tire is always a must for pics. It is amazing how BIG the mine is.

Brightyn is TWO!

My not so little baby turned two today. It is funny how she was born with a head of dark hair, and it all fell out and now she is s spunky blondie.

I love your gap in your front teeth

Kissy Lips

Things you love:

Your sissy
Your "family" (all of your stuffed animals)
Your baby Sammi Jo Jo
Deer
Laying on mamas boobies (cuddling with mom)
Milky
Bananas
Cream Soda
You love to have eyeshadow put on everyday
You must have your own deodorant too!
Getting your nails painted is one of your favs.
Your favorite songs are: Train-Hey Soul Sister, The Band Perry-If I Die Young, and Taylor Swift-Mean, to name a few

Developmental:

You talk better than most 3 year olds. You speak in full sentences, and although some words are hard to understand, you make yourself pretty clear most of the time.
You sleep in a big girl bed (full size bed) and have been doing so good
You still have a hard time opening doors (thank goodness)
You go the potty alot but I am not sure I am ready to commit to potty training

Things you DON'T like

Car rides (getting buckled in your seat)
You are terrified of leaves. Especially when they are blowing around on the ground
Naps (we are lucky if you nap for an hour and 15 minutes)

You have been my little cuddler from day one. Even though you and your sissy fight the majority of the time, I hope that one day you will be each others best friend. Love you Lil B.

Brightyns big girl bed

Last weekend we transitioned Brightyn from a toddler bed to a full size bed. She did wonderful. She is getting so big so fast. She did not seem to mind the change at all, in fact, she was thrilled to have a big girl bed "like sissy". So glad the change went smoothly. Now next comes potty training. Wow. I am just glad she still lets me hold and cuddle her. I soak every second of it right up.

All in one

I have been such a slacker lately and have so many pics to share. Figured they could all be combined into one long post!

Copperview Park July 4th with old neighbors

Lava Hot Springs - Smiths Trout Haven Campground. We went with our friends Mike and Erin who live in Idaho. We somehow took a wrong turn on the way there resulting in an 80 mile detour.

Friday night our friends poor kids were sick with a stomach virus. It was freezing cold that night and made a long night with sick kids. They decided to leave early Saturday morning. Derk and I took the girls to the pool in Lava and then came home later Saturday afternoon. That night our girls got sick as well : (

We get a ton of deer by our house. This time I actually had my camera on me when we spotted one. They are not afraid of people at all and we see them almost everyday.
