Surgery?!?

My poor little goofball daughter! Pneumonia, strep throat, and now a broken arm. She is such a trooper (especially with some great pain meds). She is set for surgery tomorrow here in IF. Keep her in your prayers. Best case scenario is that the doctor can manipulate the bone back into place once she is asleep without having to do any surgery. If not, they will try pins and then open surgery. Yuck!


She wasn't that happy yesterday. Poor girl:-(

Getting the soft cast on

Luckily, she is excited to get a hard cast and have everyone sign it. So, anyone coming over to our house in the next few weeks, be prepared to decorate a pink cast!

Father's Day FHE

Last night for Family Home Evening we had a lesson on dads. We talked about the Family Proclamation and what Heavenly Father asks daddies to do. Sean scored an "Amazing" in all the categories.
Before the lesson I sat down with each of the girls and asked them some question about their daddy. Some of the answers were hilarious! Oh, I love my two little girls! Since I print this blog out as our family journal I wanted to record what the two princesses said.

What is daddy's favorite color?
Taylee--red
Brynlee--purple

What was daddy's nickname when he was your age?
Taylee--babes
Brynlee--daddy

What's daddy's favorite holiday?
Taylee--Christmas
Brynlee--Christmas

What is daddy's favorite thing to do Taylee--play golf with Taylee
Brynlee--work

When daddy was your age, what did he want to be when he grew up?
Taylee--a teenage
Brynlee--special

What was daddy's favorite toy when he was your age?
Taylee--a jump rope
Brynlee--puppies
***when we asked Sean these question during FHE both of the girls were trying to prompt him to answer the questions the way they wanted him to...they are so funny!

Happy Father's Day Sean! Have a great time at the US Open ya spoiled boy!!

Professional Bike Rider

Taylee got her big girl bike today. We dressed her in long pants and a long sleeve shirt. We made sure that she had on her knee pads, elbow pads, and helmet. We also gave her a pep talk about always getting back on the bike even if she got hurt and to never give up.
We put her on the bike. Sean started pushing her. I pulled out the bandaids. Sean let go. And off she went. Without ever falling.
I always thought that it was part of taking off the training wheels to have a few falls and bumps and bruises. Guess not. Taylee has been zooming around the neighborhood all afternoon. Crazy girl :-)



Sean's safety check! Haha!

Sad...

When you look over at your kids and they have both swiped a phone and are zoned in on playing games.

Preschool Graduation

Taylee had a graduation party on her last day of preschool. Her teacher played a slideshow of pictures that had been taken during the year and told us cute stories about each of the kids. It was so much fun! She's only been out of preschool for a week but she is already missing her friends and teacher :-( But she is excited for kindergarten and hopes that some of her friends will be in her class.

Double-Trouble Birthday Party

Brynlee celebrated her birthday with her cousin Asher. They were born less than 24 hours apart and are best friends...



Brynlee had a great time at her birthday party. Thanks to everyone who was able to come and celebrate with us!

Here is Brynlee's half of the cake.

And I love this picture! Asher tried to blow out Brynlee's candle and Brynlee tried to blow out Asher's candle. Asher was faster and did not want Brynlee's help. They are funny together!

Brynlee's Birthday

Brynlee turned 3!!! We call her our Bryn-zilla because she has such a spunky personality. She can make you laugh and want to tear your hair at the same time. Right now she wants to do everything that Taylee does. I hear "Me too" at least 10 times a day. She wants to be a big girl but still loves to cuddle with mommy. Oh how I love my Bryns!

She loved all her presents, but her favorite was the scooter she got from Taylee.
Of course, Daddy had to try it out as a safety precaution :-)
