Goofy Girl

I love my little goofy girl.  She is such a joyful, energetic child and she fills my heart with happiness! I feel that our life/little family is so content, with just our one perfect little lady.  

Last night i couldn't help but just sit and cry for a minute- call me emotional, but i was thinking to myself, "Wow- she is almost 2?!  What happened to my baby?" It is funny to think that she is growing so fast learning so much, and becoming and independent little person, with a playful & delightful personality all her own.  I love that she is fearless, happy, picky, enthusiastic and ecstatic about everything!  But, sometimes i wish time would slow down... that i could cuddle with her, hold her, rock her to sleep, etc. for just a little bit longer. Brightlie is our world, and we love every second of parenthood!

This week i took B to the QC library (pretty huh? it's huge!)

for the live Reptiles show.  

B was so good the entire 40 minutes, and even got to pet the 10 ft. long

snake at the end!  (below: he's holding an iguana)

 BATH TIME FUN!

 B loves bath time, so i thought i'd take some pics...

cutie!!! 

And finally, B has figured out a new "hiding" spot... she thinks it is funny to 

close herself inside the pantry and then look out at us- what a goof!

Life at the Reidhead Home is pretty chill at the moment, but the adventures

of daily life keep us busy!  And yes, we are enjoying our journey!  :)

July Adventures!

Lots of adventures happened this week- so of course i took tons of pics!  

Summer is going by fast, but we are making lots of memories &

 enjoying the adventure! 

 Brightlie loves to play! She is getting so big!

 She is my little movie star babe- already prepared for the 

pressures of the paparazzi!

 B is momma's big helper!  (which is great when 

she is the one causing the messes!)

 This past week i spent Mon.-Thurs. up at FBE (Female Bonding Experience)

in Cedar City which was fun-filled family reunion with my Mom's Mom's side if the family.  That

meant lots of extended family and fun cousins i've never known.  It was great to get away!

And I got to spend time with my fav cousin Kelli- that's us at Bryce Canyon! Even though

my mom wasn't there, it meant a lot to get to know her relatives. 

Besties!  

Yep, Thurs. night I spent the evening with Tiffany (and our hubby's, and a million other people)

at the opening premiere of the final HARRY POTTER movie- it was great!

 Our sweet princess- love her dress!!!!

 Paul's older bro Weston got baptized, so we were excited to 

share this exciting day with him! And Paul got to be the one who did the 

baptizing, so it was really special! 

Lastly, we just love our Brightlie girl!  I can't believe that she is 

already 20 months old.  She is so smart, independent,

and vibrant.  She is picky, and knows exactly what she wants.

We are so happy to have such a joyful, wonderful child in our home!

Happy 4th of JULY!

GOD BLESS AMERICA

 We are so happy to be living in this great nation and to 

celebrate our independence, which allows us to live and worship as we please, 

enjoying life, liberty and equality among men, in our daily goal of happiness.

We are so thankful for this great land- may we never forget that freedom 

isn't free, give thanks daily to our God for His grace,

and be thankful for the brave men & women who serve 

(and have served) in an effort and dream to preserve our rights.

Our Red, White, and Blue, princess!

(Thanks to Marian, Paul's Mom, for making B's adorable 4th of July dress!)

This past week, Brightlie got invited to her very first "big girl" birthday party!

Brynlee Converse turned 4 and is one of B's friends in MomsClub, so B got to go party with

all the fellow 'princesses' and 'knights' at the Castle Converse.

 Queen Kalina did all the girls makeup... so pretty!

 Brightlie, looking fabulous in her Cinderella, Princess Courture dress.

(which really means that Paul went to a garage sell a couple months ago and 

was so sweet to buy a huge bin full of 5 Disney princess dress up clothes for only $10- who knew it

would be needed for such a grand occasion?)

 Cute group of kids!  ADORABLE party, with pizza, cupcakes,

wands, princess hats, and everyone dressed up in their best

princess attire!  

Haha- and last but not least....

 Brightlie received a very kind gift from a family in our ward who

was happy to give it to Brightlie so it could be played with.

Brightlie LOVES it!  :)  Her first car.... she is getting so big!

Sometimes it hits me that i have a daughter, not a baby anymore, 

who is a toddler, and is almost 2 yrs. old!  It makes me sad, but I am so happy to 

have such a growing, learning, energetic little girl!  She is our greatest joy!
