My baby isn't such a baby anymore...

This picture breaks my heart! We took her binky's away...finally! We took her to build a bear and let her pick an animal out to replace her binky's and then we cut the ends off of them all. She took them one by one, showed us they were "broh" (broke) and then lined them up on the couch. So sad! Being a parent can be so difficult! It was awful taking away one of her most treasured possesions!



And....she won't be my baby for much longer because she's going to be a big sister!!! I guess that means I need to stop calling her my baby. I've started to try and tell her a "baby #2" is on the way! She will be so cute with a little baby. We're excited!

It's still pretty early to tell, but we're 99% sure it's a boy!!! Crazy! I'm still in shock. :)

Can we please stay?!

I wanted to stay in Cali forever! Especially this one and only sunny day we got there that you see below!

Bryn loved the sand! And the water....eventually. It took her a day or two to be ok with the ocean. She did love every second she spent in the pools, though. She would have been happy to just stay in Vegas and swim the whole time!



This is what the rest of our time there looked like....

But we still played in the sand and collected sea shells. I love San Diego sunny or not. :)
Daddy showed her how to find sea shells and collect them in her sand bucket. She was entertained for hours!


Bryn's favorite spot to be was on the porch of our hote. I didn't mind hanging out with her out there!



We ventured out to the San Diego Zoo since the weather was pretty perfect for walking around places like that and not as great for the beach. It was quite a hike! I was so worn out, but it was so fun showing Bryn the brown bears, polar bears, baby hippo, tiger, and tons of birds. She loves birds! And anything baby. So she loved the hippo and she was happy to see the polar bears eat.

We watched this giant elephant get a bath, eat and get his toenails filed. Bryn still brings it up to this day! It's so funny.
Sea World! Yes we gave in and got her this giant Shamu. She was so dang cute when she saw it. She jumped out of her stroller and hugged it and kissed it. Way too cute to say no!

I'm glad we got it to remember how much she loved this place. She was so happy to be up close to the big Shamu and touch him. I was so impressed she wasn't scared!

She was SO focused on the dolphin show. She loved this show and the Shamu show. She entertained everyone around us also by yelling, "YAY!!! You did it!". Funny girl.

Penguins! Her favorite!





Dolphin show...
I am so excited to say she even went on a ride with me! I was so sad last year when she hated Lagoon! She could have stayed to ride this Elmo ride all day! We also did an Abby tea cup ride. That was a little scarier for her, but she was laughing by the end!


You can tell how excited she is to be at Sea World... She didn't know what was coming!


Such a fun trip! I can't wait to go back. We need to go a bit later in the year so it's a little warmer next time, but I still loved every minute. I hadn't been to Sea World since I was 2 or so and I loved it! It was a blast and so fun to see Bryn's reactions. So worth the insane amount it cost to get in! At least I think so! :)

{Two}

Brynlee got to celebrate her birthday for about a full week! She got spoiled again.... We went to Chuck-e-cheese with the Scott's and she loved it! She didn't want to leave.
She got a giant squishy Buzz that she loves!
She wanted to go on these two rides over and over again. Thanks to the Scott's for taking us to Chuck-e-cheese and for the baby, tea set, Buzz and clothes!
We had a party at the B's for Bryn and Emma. Aim made her this cute apron and gave her a wooden play cookie set. She won't wear the apron much, but absolutely loves the cookie set! My parents gave her cute clothes and super cute sandals and of course money for her savings which is always nice!
Cambree and Kailee got her this giant tennis ball! She loves it. Too bad I clipped Bree out of the pic. :( Thanks for a fun party and all the gift's from the B's!
I made some cupcakes for the party. It was fun to make the marshmallow fondant flowers to go on top!


Bryn's favorite friend, Erin (Err) came over to play the day after her b-day. Bryn loved having her over! She talks about her all the time.

Devin and I took her to the Treehouse Museum in Ogden for her birthday. She loved the music room and of course all the horses the had to ride on.
We got her Cold Stone ice cream cupcakes to have the night of her b-day. Mmm....cake batter cupcake. They were yummy.

The fam...
We got her a bike that I can push with a handle until she learns to ride it. She actually pedalled a few times at the park the other day! I can't wait til it gets warmer and we can play outside more.

She also got a Baby Alive that she loves to feed! She carries her and her water baby around while riding her bike inside. What a funny, entertaining girl. My favorite saying of hers right now is, "Ok, ok. Fine!" Where did that come from?! I swear I don't say that...
