Brylee's first Independence Day!

Oh boy, we've had a lot of fun the past few days! Deryk and Jojo had their baby! Seth Joel Barrett is so cute! We got to spend a little time with them.



I can't believe how tiny he is! I thought Brylee was small..... I WAS WRONG!

Braden's parents came down and we had lots of fun with them. Grandma Sue bought Brylee this ADORABLE outfit! She loves to snuggle with her Grandpa! Although, I'm not sure which one of them drank the bottle...

AND It was Brylee's first 4th of July and we hit all the highlights! We are so lucky to live in this amazing nation of ours and I am so proud to be an American!

On Friday morning, we decided to hike up to the wind caves with some friends... but we didn't get out of bed in time to meet them so we went by ourselves! :) It was actually fun... just the two of us out in that gorgeous canyon. Here we are at the top. She had so much fun on the way up. She was laughing and reaching for every tree, weed, flower or anything else the whole way. It was really fun, but man she's heavy to carry up a hill strapped to your belly! How did I carry her there for 9 months?!?!

Tiny baby in a BIG cave!

In the two seconds I took to take that last picture, she grabbed a big handful of dirt and shoved it in her mouth. So silly!

That's the cave up at the top. This picture was taken about halfway up the trail.

She was excited on the way up... and slept the whole way down!


Logan lights off the fireworks on the 2nd so we went to that! They light them from the football stadium so we parked ourselves right across the street. We rode our bikes so we could beat the traffic on the way home and let me tell you, we were right! We were flying by cars and it's all downhill home so we were cruisin!

Family photo!

We were twinners! Only opposite :)

She was so fascinated by the fireworks! I thought she's go crazy staying up late and hearing loud noises, but she watched like a hawk!

We watched them with some friends: Dallin and Patty and their little girls Zeeley and Emma Joe.

Then we went to the "parade" yesterday. It was... interesting. It's called "the cruise-in" and it's just a bunch of old classic cars that drive up and down main street. It was pretty cool, just very different than I'd seen (or even heard of) before.

Brylee had lots of fun...

Right up until she fell asleep... again.

Then we came home and had a little weinie roast on our patio. We made smores, sat around the fire and just had a great time together. It was really fun.

And Daddy helped Brylee roast her first marshmallow!
It was a wonderful week. Happy 4th everyone!
