A little bit of November

We haven't been up to anything too exciting this month...yet! We are looking forward to Thanksgiving in St. George! Here are just a couple pictures I got of Breckyn this month...

I love sleeping pictures. My dad would always take pictures of us like this, so I guess that is why I continue to take several of Breckyn like this :)



Our Girl is 2!

I cannot believe that Miss Breckyn Fay is already 2. It is amazing how fast they grow. I have no idea where my baby has gone. I am determined to try and make a cake every year just like my mom did. I am not a baker so this is definitely a struggle. Last year I tried and failed miserably. I have been haunted by that but I had to try again. Everything went ok in the baking process but I am still not the master froster that my mom is. I wanted to give Breckyn a Minnie Mouse themed birthday and I had seen this idea to frost the cake pink and put white polka dots on it to look like her dress. My mom made it a reality and it came out great!

We had a full house that night and of course I didn't get pictures of everyone. We had Grandma and Grandpa Driscoll, Grandma and Grandpa Vollmer and Uncle Bridger. Uncle Kasyn and Aunt Alesia along with cousins Paislie and Quade, and Grandma Glayda and Howard. She received lots of fun gifts a new baby doll from her cousins, an Ariel Barbie from Grandma and Grandpa Vollmer, a Minnie Mouse ball from Grandma Glayda, a Disney princess book from Grandma Dayna that came with cute little princesses to play with. Tanner and I gave her the Little People Little Mermaid carriage that goes with her princess castle.

It had been a long day...I think the phrase that comes to mind is, "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to."

Fall is here!

I love this time of year. I know I have said that before but it is the truth :) October is flying by and we have definitely had some Idaho weather. At the beginning of the month we had quite the cold spell but yesterday it was so nice that I was able to send Breckyn outside without a coat.

I snapped the picture below while we were riding with Tanner the other day. It cracks me up!

Our crazy girl also enjoys other adventures such as...dunking her head in the toilet...seriously?

 

 

Happy 18th Birthday Bridger and What a Win! {Friday Night Lights Cont.}

This awesome kid turned 18 yesterday and they won their homecoming game! What an awesome present, right?!  We love this kid. He comes out to visit it us on a lot of summer nights and when school starts we look forward to his visits on Sunday nights. Breckyn adores him! It is so great to know that she will always have her Uncle Bridger looking out for her :) We can't believe that he is 18, a senior and will be going on a mission soon. I am so excited for him to take that next step but we will definitely miss him over those 2 years.

It was freezing that night to say the least. My poor, poor fingers!

One Proud Father

Tanner is not shy to say how proud he is of Bridger. He is hard on him at times but only because he knows what he is capable of. One thing that struck me about Tanner first was that he always let Bridger come along with us. This was so different from me. My brothers and sisters hated it when I had to come along. But I never minded having him along either. It is so weird to think that he was going into 7th grade when we started dating...Time sure does fly!

Favorite picture from the night! Awesome game Bridge and...

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY!

PS- Have fun at the dance tonight :)

 

 

Harvest Time is in Full Swing

Breckyn and I like to go out and ride with Tanner if we get a chance. My dad snapped this picture of us and I love it. My dad never waits for anyone to be ready but it turned out pretty cute :) I love the smell of harvest. The freshly turned dirt and the dug potatoes...oohhh I just LOVE it! I'm so glad that I live in this wonderful place and get to experience harvest time. It is one of my favorite times of the year. I bet you don't hear many farmer's wives say that ;)

Just a quick picture

I snapped this picture yesterday in Country Kitchen while we were picking up lunch for my dad and Tanner. She was all over the place but after I took it I could not believe now grown up she is starting to look. Where is my baby?

Little Mother

This girl keeps cracking me up. This morning I was cleaning the kitchen and I heard he saying poopy over and over again. I assumed that she meant her and she wanted me to change her. I turned around and I saw this. She was referring to her baby :) It is amazing the information that kids soak up and the little copy cats they become.
