Best Buds

While we were staying at my parents house, Braden met a boy down the street named Ben. I don't think a day went by without Braden begging me to go to Ben's house. They both have a love for trains and adventure. Whether they were inside playing superheros or outside riding bikes/getting lost, they were having FUN! I know Braden will always remember his summer in Rexburg and the good times he spend with his best bud!

Brooklyn @ Winco

Brooklyn's job while grocery shopping....Sit back. Relax. And enjoy the ride :)

Pop Love

Then & Now

Same dress. Same flower. Same spot. Same pose. Same Age.

Two Beautiful Girls!

Rexburg Rapids

Rexburg has the funnest water park complete with slides, lazy river, rock climbing wall, and playground in the water. It is so perfect for the little ones! The kids had such a blast there this summer!!

Idaho Falls Zoo

The Idaho Falls Zoo is pretty pathetic small, but the kids still had fun :)

Intermittent Springs, Afton Wy

Every summer my extended Bateman family has a reunion in Afton, WY. It is actually a lot of fun and great to see so much family all at once. While we were there we hiked Intermittent Springs. Brooklyn had so much fun exploring. What a sweet girl....

Owl Always Love You

When I was pregnant with Brynlee I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to love her like my other two kids. I just didn't think it was possible to fit any more love it my heart. I was SO wrong! I love this girl more than I could have ever dreamed. Everything she does is cuter than the next! I just love to spend time with her and take in all of her goodness. Oh, my sweet baby girl! Can't you just stay little forever!??!!!

4th of July 2012

The Rexburg Parade was so much fun this year!! The kids loved all the animals, candy, and especially the fire truck spray at the end :)

Braden and his good friends Ben and Jackson hanging out before the neighborhood fireworks.

Grandma and Brooklyn. So precious I can barely stand it!

Three Babes in a Row

While my cousins were visiting we all got together for a picnic. Two of them and I had baby girls all within a couple weeks of each other. Here they are for a group shot...So cute!!

The Many Faces of Brynlee

Brynlee was making the funniest faces at church and I couldn't help but take a few pics of her with my phone. She is just so funny!!

Toadally Jammies

My Little Love Bug

This girl loves her bumbo! She is not a fan of laying down- she wants to be sitting up where she can see the world! Love her so much it's crazy!!

Grandma...

Brooklyn and my mom have such a special bond. She sure enjoyed spending time with her this last year. We are missing you like crazy Grandma!!! Love you lots!

GoGurts at Porter Park

We must have gone to the splash park at Porter at least 50 times this summer! The kids love it and it's FREE! We would take lunch over there and spend hours splashing in the sun. If you can't tell, Brooklyn's favorite part of lunch was always the GoGurts :)
