Back to School!

Oh no, August is here!  That means a few changes around our home, mostly being that Paul will soon begin his last yr. @ ASU (hurray for graduation in May!).  He will be super, busy, but we are excited for him to be nearing the finish line!  Brightlie and I have a blast each week, and this week was no exception!  

Below are the adventures from the past 2 weeks! Get ready for a picture overload....  :)  

Brightlie LOVES to color!  She loves to lay on the floor, color,

and enjoy a good Disney movie.

 B is getting pretty good at drinking from a cup- she usually prefers

them to a sippy when she is in her high chair  :)

 My lil angel- such a sweetie at church... 

we made it through an entire sacrament meeting last week!  

(yes i busted out my camera during the song- don't judge!)

 Brightlie & daddy out playing in the crazy rain during the monsoon-

B loved the rain and thought it was so fun!  

(her first time dancing/playing in the rain! She and daddy were having a blast

jumping in all the puddles!)

 Goofy girl!  Wanted to wear mom's glasses- silly  :)

  

 Peek-a-boo!  B's favorite game- hiding in the shower curtain!

 SO PRETTY!  :)  my cute curly haired child.

 It's fun to wear mom's shoe!!! 

 (even though I buy so many cute little shoes for B, guess she likes my flip flops more)

And daddy's socks- she loves to wear one sock on her leg- go figure- silly child!

 We LOVE the pool-and getting our tan on!!! Gotta love the summer sun!

Finally, although the past 2 weeks were fun- my mom's birthday was also this week and made for some bittersweet tears.  I love my mom so much and miss her greatly.  Sometimes i feel so alone, raising a child an being a mom myself with no guidance.  But, i am grateful for all that she taught me and for the testimony she gave of the importance of being a loving, involved, stay-at-home mother.  Her example has taught me so much, and i look forward to telling Brightlie all about the wonderful woman she was/is!
