My baby girl is ONE!

I can't believe a whole year has passed since Brinley was born.  She has been such a fun little girl.  She is really close to walking, and she is so smart.  We were saying prayers the other day and I was telling Whitley to fold her arms and Brinley did.  It was so cute.  It is crazy how different each of my children are.  Whitley will scream and cry if Tag touches her.  Brinley will yell and hit Tag if he even acts like he's going to be in her space.  I was so worried that I wouldn't be able to handle Whitley and Brinley being only 20 months apart, but I have more trouble with Tag and Whitley, so Brinley has been the best surprise ever.  I love her so much and am anxious to see who she grows up to be(:

Memorial Weekend

We decided to get waaay out of town for the long weekend and headed up to Idaho to go camping with my family.  Before I was married, it had become a tradition with my family to go every year.  It made me feel bad as I talked to my brother as he was telling me about going that I had not been up there in all of my 11 years of marriage, so we went!  We took the in-laws camp trailer and boy are we glad we did!!  It snowed on us that first night and it was sooo cold.  I didn't bother to bring coats for any of us, honestly I didn't think we could possibley get snow!  By the next day, it wasn't so cold and things were starting to dry out.  We did a little 4-wheelin' and we even met up with Trent's good friend, Seth, who was camping in the same area.  Small world.  We ate a lot of good food, but most important, we spent some good time with family.  I love my family soo much and I want my kids to know their cousins.  Family is just so important!!!!
