Rhodes Family Camping Trip

We just got back from camping at Fish Lake with the Rhodes family. What a fun time! We fished, hiked, relaxed, ate yummy food, and laughed the whole trip.

Goofing off with the new RM:

Brielle has really grown to love her Uncle Randy! Once she got to know him, she couldn't get enough of him.

(Her face cracks me up in this picture!)

And what's not to love about Randy?!

(These guys are hilarious when they're in the same room)

Brielle had fun being the center of attention:

(I love this picture! It's so obvious that Brielle thinks Grandpa is the greatest!)

(Having fun with Grandma)

(On the boat with Granny Bev)

(Getting a ride from Aunt Nellie!)

(Flying through the air with Uncle Ryan!)

Camping can really wear a girl out:

(She sleeps with her cute little butt in the air every night)

And sometimes it's just too much fun to fall asleep:

(Brielle was playing peek a boo with herself in the mirror and then she gave herself kisses!)

There's always delicious food:

And Stories Around the Campfire:


We Love Camping!

Home is good too though:

Brielle loves to walk around while holding on to her push toy.

She definitely had fun camping, but was very happy to be home!

She's such a funny girl and full of attitude!

Welcome Home Elder Rhodes!!

We went to the airport on Friday, Sept 4th to welcome my little brother home from his two year mission in Ontario, Canada! We were all so excited to see him!

(Waiting for him to get off the plane)

Brielle was so excited to meet her uncle that she became a bit impatient. (Whenever Brielle gets a little restless we just let her hang upside down for a couple of seconds. She loves it! She always wants more!)


YAY!!! He's home!! Brielle was very intrigued by her uncle.

And as it turned out, she loved him right from the get go. Isn't it obvious?!

Welcome Home Randy! We really are glad to have you back!

Lagoon!

The Kyhl family went to Lagoon on Saturday to celebrate my nephew Jackson's 3rd birthday!



Brielle was SOOO excited when we got to Lagoon. Can you tell?




One of her favorite rides was the train.


She loved to see the animals. We didn't think she'd care, but she was actually quite fascinated by them.



Breezy wasn't too sure of the Merry Go Round at first.



But once she got the hang of it, she giggled, danced, and LOVED it!




I think the best part of the day was Lagoon-A-Beach. Brielle had a blast in the water. From floating through the lazy river to just splashing in the kiddie pool, she had a smile on her face!

Clap for Joy

Brielle learned how to clap her hands about a week ago and is so proud of herself every time she does it! What a sly little smile!


More random pictures:

She loves trying to walk along the furniture. Such a big girl!

Daddy and Breezy

Grandma & Grandpa Rhodes loving their visit with her.

She loves to jump in her jumperoo!

Always sucking her thumb. Little stinker!

Lately

Summertime Sweetie:

I truly enjoy watching Brielle in her little kiddie pool. She has so much fun splashing and playing with her toys. I wish summer would last forever.

Morning Hair:

Pretty self-explanitory. Brielle just has the craziest hair when she wakes up in the morning!

Scary Tire Explosion:

I was driving on Bangeter Highway when my tire exploded. Literally. Tire went one way, rim went the other. Luckily, Brielle and I were safe. I'm thankful for the 2 guys who stopped to help.

Delightful Deck Entertainment:

Travis and I love to sit on the deck with the tiki's going, watch a movie, and eat treats. Nothing better.

A Little R & R:

Breezy rarely sits still, so when she does I have to capture the moment.

Sleek & Stylin' :

Corn on the Cob (Sans the Corn)

Brielle LOVED the cob. She chowed down on that thing for an entire 30 min.

Giddy in Green:

Brielle is a busy busy girl. She army crawls everywhere, tries to climb over everything (and anyone who is sitting on the ground), pulls herself up to a standing position, and LOVES to be upside down. She can go from crawling to sitting by herself (and vice versa), and loves to play with anything she can get her hands on. She's always opening drawers and trying to get in the dishwasher.

Silly Sleeper:

Brielle always has to have her feet up no matter where she is or what she's doing.

Reading & Relaxing:

Gotta love summer!
