Random 2015 and 2016 pictures

I was trying to collect and save all the pictures from our phones and wasn't sure if these pics were ever put into the blog. They are from 2015 and 2016.

Aubrie turns 5 years old

Aubrie celebrated her 5th birthday by having a Unicorn theme party. 

We held the party at my parents and dressed up the horses as unicorns for the kids to ride on. The neighbors also brought over their baby goat for kids to pet. 

                      

Aubrie's friends that came were: Brody Bunker, Hannah Bush, Melonie Nelson and Brexley Ellison

Aubrie also got spoiled by Grandma Susie and got a pedicure and manicure for her birthday!

Bye Bye Traverse, Hello Kia

 On Sept 9th I decided to trade in my Chevy Traverse for a  2016 Kia Sorento. It was a tough discion to go from a larger SUV with a 3rd seat to a smaller one, but I was starting to have a lot of issues with the Traverse and would rather spend money on a newer car.

The girls enjoying the last few minutes in the old car:

August and End of Summer Time

With all the August heat and wind brought a huge fire near Panguitch Lake called the Bryan Head fire. My Dad was called out with his wildland truck to help fight this fire. 

We spent a Saturday playing with my family at Deer Creek... swimming, snacks and sun!

Powder donuts are the best!

All the girls had so much fun playing in the water together

We made sure to enjoy a Monster Truck show for Bluffdale Days and Aubrie and Papa Matt even got to have a ride in one!

Part of Bluffdale Days activities included a Giant Foam area to play in. Aubrie was in heaven diving into the foam and Brynnley enjoyed watching all the craziness. Grandpa Matt had fun hosing off all the kids with the Fire Truck afterwards.

I absolutely love this month because all my beautiful yellow flowers are blooming in the back yard. When ever I am feeling down I just look out my bedroom window to see the happy yellow flowers.

The girls love picking all the raspberries and eating them all before we even get inside.

The kids visited the Hogle Zoo with Grandma Bath and cousins.

Aubrie started her new and last year at Pre-School at Lotsa Tots this month. It's hard to see what is written on her board.....she wants to be a teacher when she grows up, she loves playing with shopkins and princesses, her favorite food is mac and cheese and spaghetti.

Enjoying Florida Georgia Line Concert at Usana. Nelly opened up for them...it was kinda fun to hear all the old songs from high school days.

Another Jeff moment happened this month: I was coming home and heard a big cracking sound in our bathroom. I ran in to see what happened and Jeff had let Brynnley out of the shower on the wet floor and she slipped and hit her head. I was very nervous since her goose-egg was the largest I had ever seen. We spent most of the middle of the night at the ER making sure she was ok.
