February is here!!!!

I can't believe that is already February, and Valentine's Day is around the corner!  The weather is actually cold this week,which reminded me that is is still winter in AZ.  In our home, this past week has been full of good family times! Brightlie is getting bigger and smarter everyday!  She is 15 months old, and her personality and independence shines through each day. 

 Delicious dinners at our home.... YUMMY!!!!

 Brightlie's favorite game is hide & seek with her blanket  :)

 Aunt Dawn came in town from UT this weekend!  It was great

to see her and spend some time with her!  We spent Sat. afternoon at my cousin Jenny's home 

and we had a bbq and just enjoyed chatting with everyone!

 Me & Jenny!  My fav cousin & one of my best friends!

 B loved all the good food and enjoyed playing with Kaden & Carson.

 Sat. night my good friend Kelly Hathcock (Adams) came over and 

we got to spend time with her, her hubby, and their new baby Brielle!  

 Kelly & Payne!

 Brightlie loves babies we found out!!!!

The whole night all she wanted to do was touch little Brielle.

THEN,

 Sat. Night we also went over to to our neighbors for a bonfire

 and smores! (about 9:30pm)  It was fun- 

we enjoy having  fun conversations & good laughs

our neighbors  :)

good friend, and it is always good to be around her funny,happy personality!

And the BIG NEWS FOR THE WEEK!!!!!.....

 Miss Brightlie is a big girl!  Today (Sunday) she spent her first day at Nursery!  With me in YW and Paul in Primary, we really need an alternative place for Brightlie to be than with one of us.  So, today I got brave and took her to nursery, just to see what would happen.... & she LOVED it!  No crying or nervousness... just a happy girl! And although she is not supposed to be there til May, the

Nursery Leader said Brightlie did so well that she is welcome to come!

 I love my little BIG girl- she is getting so big so fast, and although it is a little hard, and am proud that my princess is independent and confident.  Love you Brightlie!!!!!!
