Happ Birthday Brielle!!

There is a book called Fancy Nancy that Brielle loves, it's about a girl that loves every thing to be fancy, so for Brielles birthday we did a Fancy Nancy birthday! We had my mom dress up fancy and come read the book to the girls, we made a little store with feather boas, tutus, jewelry, and fancy feather fans, and the girls all got to go shopping and pick their own fancy things to wear. After they all got dressed up Mindy painted all their faces fancy. Then they ate parfaits ( that's what they eat in the book because they are fancy) and dipped fruit and marshmellows in chocolate, after that it was time to open presents. We love having Brielle in our family, she has such a sweet spirit, she is very creative and a huge helper! She is always doing sweet surprises for us, she loves to make people happy! She had a lot of fun getting ready for her party, she drew some fancy pictures and hung them on the fridge for decorations, and made a list of every thing we were going to do at the party, and hung it on the door so we wouldn't forget. I am so thankful to be her mom!

Brielles fancy butterfly face! Mindy does a really good job!

Our fancy table!

I got all the decorations in Fillmore, and finding fancy glasses to drink out of was impossible so we got plastic cups and sugar coated the rims

Brielles parfait

We had a chocolate fountain for a centerpiece, I hadn't ever used it yet and when I set it up I was missing a piece so the chocolate didn't work qiute right but the girls still got to dip their stuff in it.

All the tutus at the store

The feather boas

This is our store sign

These are the fancy shopping bags we made for each girl to put their stuff in. I got the tutus, feather boas, and fans from a website called heavenlyhalos.com it has way good prices, if anyone every needs anything like that.

Rabbit Hunting

We started potty training Dakota, and Brielle made him a potty chart that he could put a sticker on each time he went potty, and when he he got it full he could go hunting with Mike. So he wetn rabbit hunting out behind our house, and he had a blast! He is just like his dad!

mikes rodeo

Yesterday Mikes horse bucked him off when he was on the mountain, he landed in a bush and a stick went through his leg OUCH!!! He had to go to the Dr. to get it removed, and him and Jordan thought it was cool to watch the Dr. pull it out of his leg. He got a couple pretty big chunks of wood out, and his leg is quite sore today, but other than his leg, he is alright and I'm very thankful for that!
The Dr had to sew a drain in his leg, looks pretty grose, but it is supposed to help it so it wont get infected

deer hunt and halloween

Mike made me a new bed!!! We got king size mattresses so Mike made me a new bed, I loved the canopy bed that he had made us but I love this one too!! I was out of town with Mikes mom and sisters for the weekend and Mike was going to finish it and surprise me, but when I talked to Dakota on the phone the very first thing he told me was that daddy was painting my bed black, you gotta love kids!!

Madison on Halloween!!

Brielle was a fairy and Dakota was a football player, we went to the ward trunk or treat, then trick or treating in Fillmore, then out to Kanosh where Mikes parents and Paul and Carolyn make hot dogs and hot chocolate for everyone, we had a lot of fun, I love Halloween!!

This is one of the horse rides Mike went on during the deer hunt, they got snowed on and froze but he had a lot of fun!!
