Disney Halloween Activity


The Disney Store at the San Tan outdoor mall had a free Halloween event for Disney Visa cardmembers. It was so fun and the kids loved it! The kids dressed up in costumes and they got to make masks and do little activities. They had a little parade and gave this kids all a little goody bag at the end. It was a fun little even to go to as a family :) 




The costume parade with the masks they made :) 



Brenna slept almost the whole time but we
of course still needed a picture of her.

Kimbri

Kimbri is such a blessing in my life. Yes, she is a very strong-willed little child sometimes, but she also brings so much happiness and joy. She can make friends in an instant with anybody and is very outgoing. She gets really excited about the littlest things and is such a great big sister to Garrett and Brenna. And she helps me out a lot getting a burp cloth for Brenna, or helping me fold the laundry. She is loving preschool and really likes her teacher, Ms. Geri. I cannot believe she will be going to Kindergarten next year!!!


Kimbri took this picture of Rick. She has been way in
to taking random pictures. Haha

Reading Brenna a story

Making a bunch of playdoh snowmen 

We tried curlers from the dollar store in
her hair! 
It turned out pretty good! Not as tight of curls
as I expected but she loved it!


Playing with Brenna

Getting a breathing treatment at the dr. 

She wasn't feeling very good and fell right to
sleep on the way home.

She loves to get her picture taken with Brenna.

She was so excited for the primary program that she raced outside before we were even all ready to go to church and started buckling herself in. She did great on her little part! She does, however, love to say hi to Garrett from the stage a little bit too much. She says, very loudly, "Hi Garrett!" over and over while waving to him while I frantically, yet quietly, try to motion to her to sit down and to "shhh". Hahaha. Hopefully people just think she's funny and not too big of a distraction!



Garrett

My little buddy Garrett is growing up so fast! He is so sweet and tender with Brenna and such a good older brother. He loves to sing to her and any time she starts to get a little fussy he runs to her to make sure she's ok. It's the sweetest thing. He loves all things sharks, super-heroes, trucks (especially fire trucks), trains, and animals. He loves playing outside and going to the park. I can't believe he'll be 3 in just a couple months!



He plays by himself so good. He must have quite the
imagination. I often have to nurse Brenna and he just plays
with his toys while Kimbri is at preschool. 

He loves his "new" footie pjs I got from a
used clothing site. 

Poor Garrett fell and his teeth cut his lip
open pretty bad :(

6 Weeks

Well Brenna has officially grown out of her bassinet. She could probably be in it for a little longer but she is a scooter! Every time I wake up to feed her, she has scooted her way to the very top of the bassinet and her head gets all smashed up against it. Since she moves so much I've decided to just put her in the pack and play next to our bed for a few more months. 

And of course, here are some pictures of little miss Brenna:


Testing out the pack and play as a bed now.

Trip to the park! 

She loves bath time!

Newborn Photo Shoot

I got professional newborn photos of Brenna! And I'm so in love with them. A friend of mine in our ward started a photography business and needed someone to watch her girls while she did photo shoots for people. She asked if I would want newborn pictures for free if I watched her girls. It was a win win! I watched her girls like 6-7 times for a couple hours each and she gave me a free newborn session! It was great because her two girls are around the same ages as Kimbri and Garrett so they all just played together and worked out great!

So, Brenna was SO tired during the photo shoot but was having a hard time falling asleep and staying asleep. We would finally get her to sleep but as soon as we tried to lay her down she'd was up. She wasn't being fussy or anything but she wouldn't close her eyes for any of the sleeping photos/poses. So anyway, most of her photos are awake photos but they still turned out super cute! And of course, as soon as we got home, I put her in her crib and she totally zonked out for over 4 hours! I guess we should've done the photos in the afternoon... haha! Oh well. 










Pictures I snapped when we got home and she
finally zonked out!

Bath Time & Tummy Time



Not too sure about what's going on... hehe

Brenna is a tummy time champ! Seriously. She has been rolling over from tummy to back since she was 6 days old. I'm pretty sure that is not normal. But she does it multiple times a day! She is a strong little one!


Garrett likes doing tummy time with Brenna.


Look at that head! She has such a strong neck!
