Their are tears in my eyes....

I can't believe my girls are almost 2 & 4! While Cami was in town I had her take my girls Yearly pictures. They were a little bit of a stinker, but we got some good ones.

They do love each other. All thought their are days I wonder... :)

I love this picture, this is my Melody through and through!

Elise is getting a lot better at this whole posing and looking at the camera thing.

So grown up!

Thanks a million Cam! You are so very talented.

Soon we'll be getting family pictures done by a friend in our ward. Wish us luck! I always dread family pictures. Boy I need to change my attitude!

Welcome Baby Jaycee!

On 7/11 my brother Jason and SIL Candice had their cute baby girl, Jaycee.

She was 8 lbs. 15 oz.

20.5 inches long

She is the heaviest of all the grand kids so far. She has a double chin, chubby cheeks and chubby thighs! So happy for Jason and Candice.

My girls were so happy and excited to hold her.

Welcome to the world Baby Jaycee! Your favorite Aunt can't wait to hold you again. :)

Our new Fence!

Adobe (Brian's work) gives all their employee's the week of the 4th of July off. So instead of relaxing and taking it easy Brian built our fence. First they needed to dig the post holes. We found out how horrible and HARD the soil is out here. Brian and my dad are both on the digger and it still didn't budge!

Here's the practically finished product
Isn't it beautiful!
Thanks a million to all the family and friends that came over to help. We owe you all big time.

Were so happy our yard is coming along. Our next project is sodding the backyard.

P.S. here's my little garden this year. I'm pretty proud of it. Can't wait to do a bigger one in the ground next year.

Jackson Hole Bryson Family Reunion

Over the 4th of July we went to Jackson Hole for the Bryson Family Reunion. We did all the normal stuff we do every year with Brian's immediate family but this time we had the huge bryson side with us.

Hiking Jenny Lake

The girls made sure the go a stick on the hike.

My heart just melts when I see this picture.

Melody enjoyed her pudding cup!

Elise fell asleep in the car, but lucky for her she had Grandma Bryson to hold her head up. :)

Love this girl, but I love this outfit even more!

The kids climbing on the wall.

Yes Brian is in the kid category.

Cute girly!

We had such a blast spending time with Brian's cousin's, aunts and uncles!

Swimming Lessons

I put the girls in swimming lessons this summer. Melody and I are in a parent-tot class. My mom filled in the last day so I could watch Elise in her class. They're at the same time. Melody was only a twit about 1/2 the time. She's become more accustom to the water and getting better floating on her back and stomach. And she can get in and out of the water by herself too.

Elise really liked her class. She told me her teacher was cute. She's getting better jumping in the water, floating and doing the front stroke.

Our summer has been so busy, and it's just barley July! But I'd rather be busy than bored. :)

Hard Core!

Yes I went to the Midnight Showing of Eclipse. Judge me all you want :) We had a great time! It was an awesome girls night. I love all these women! They were so crazy and silly. I find myself forgetting it's ok to be silly.

Cute picture of Jenny (SIL) and me.

The 3 Stooges

Jessica, Camille, and Angela

This movie was my favorite so far. I loved the one liners, the vampire fight scene was so cool. And they really developed more of the characters too.

Thanks Launa for a great girls night! :)

Cousins Camp

We had our 2nd Annual Cousins Camp, hosted by my mom. We had a great time! Swimming, The Living Planet Aquarium, and crafts! The girls were in heaven playing with their Denver cousins.

We had a pretty good group picture.

My mom made all these skirts, plus found some cute flip flops and added some embellishments.

"Auntie Bethy" Stopped by. We love it when she comes around!

Swimming

Cute Lily, her first time swimming.

Tessa wasn't into the water. Just holding the stuff.

We made egg shell caterpillars. I love mine and Sophie's faces, such a contrast.

And we went to the Living Planet Aquarium.

So Cool! Thanks Grandma Nina for a great Cousins Camp! Can't wait for next year!
