HIGH LIGHTS :)
*S'mores every night! Tytan would roast Brilee 5-10 marshmallows a night. It worked great because all he cared about was the roasting, and all Brilee cared about was squishing them in her hands. She didn't care to eat them, but the mess was fun!
*Sleeping in the camper. We LOVE our camper! It is so snuggly and fun. This trip we brought the pack-n-play for Brilee. She slept so good both nights.
*Brilee got her very own "Beep Beep" car. She (and all the little kids) LOVED it! I am so glad we had it for this trip. I had to go to the parade this morning in Vernal, and I left Brilee on the mountain. When I asked how she did everyone said, "I don't even think she got out of her car." Apparently she would have the girls push her around the campground and she would tell them, "Push me... Push me now". 
*Tin Foil Dinners... nuff said!
*Lots of deer and chipmunks in camp.
*Camper bath with Marley, Chazzy, and Brilee. We had Marley and Brilee in the tub, and next thing we know Chazzy is barreling in there to be with them. Pretty sure our drain has a good portion of White Rocks' soil in it. 
*Walking to the river.
*Playing in the river.
*Grandma and Grandpa Dickson coming for lunch! They had spent the past week on the East Coast and they couldn't stand not stopping to see there lil' Bri Bear!
*Fun times with almost ALL the cousins!
*Sleep over with Elly and Chloey... even if Brilee did wake them up WAY earlier than they should have woken up.
*Beading
*Playing with Megan's ADORABLE puppies.
*Incredible 3-4 hours naps... DAILY!
*Julie's AMAZING chex mix.
*The afternoon rain showers.
LOW LIGHTS :(
*Brilee has been sick for a week. She has a NASTY nose and cough. She cut one of her top eye teeth, but she is still working on the other three. She was pretty cranky.
*Brilee fell out of Granny's camper (another reason she was pretty cranky). She was playing with the door and she pushed against the door, it popped open, and she went somersaulting out of it. Granny and Leeber ran her up to me at my camper and as they were coming up I was thinking to myself "Wow she is pale. I have no business having her up here if she is that sick." Just as the thought was leaving Granny said "She fell out of the camper and is white as a sheet." I took her and she was struggling to catch her breath. 30-40 seconds later she took a deep breath and let us have it! Her color came back and she has a pretty good scrape and bruise up her back.
*Driving down to work EVERY day of our camp out! Oh how we would have loved to be able to sleep in.
*Grandpa's generator. 
*The disgusting bugs... EW THE DEER FLIES!
*The sweltering hot weather! (Which four months ago we were dying for... we can never be pleased!)
Bri, El, and the cute puppies! Granny has a picture on her camera of Brilee and Chazzy completely under Grandpa's truck laying with these cute puppies.
Blue eyed gals!
Funny Faces
BEEP BEEP... she now says beep beep the whole time she is driving!

The best thing about having a camper is the bath tub. Brilee is a DIRT magnet, and it is so nice to give her a fresh start every night.

The kids were shucking corn and Brilee thought she needed to help. She watched them for awhile and then went and got a piece of corn and threw it away. Turned around got another piece and threw it away too. What a great helper!
The girls all wore their matching PJ's from Christmas.
Brilee would push Scooter in the stroller, but whenever I would get my camera out she would quit.

When we got to the river Brilee was in shock! She couldn't believe we were hiding this from her the whole time we were there.
Jake was a nice Daddy and let her play in the water.

Brilee wanted to sit and roll in it the whole time though, so she didn't get to play to long. 
And she wasn't happy about it!



Chazzy thinks she was put on Earth to care for Brilee. She is such a sweetie!
Jens caught a lot of fish, and had a great time doing so!
As soon and Grandpa and Grandma showed up the rest of us were nobody's! She wanted them and only them. She was so happy to see them.
They were pretty happy to see her too!

Splash Park

Today we went to the Splash Park with Sham, her boys, Ashley, her boys, and their Grandma, and Aunt! We had a blast! Brilee loves the splash park, and I love it too because she is a lot safer there than in a pool. Brilee wore herself out the first thirty minutes, and then she was ready for nap time. 
Brilee met a new group of friends while she was playing! The girl in the turquoise was either kissing Brilee or splashing her the whole time.  
This was taken five minutes after we got there... I couldn't believe she could get drenched that fast!
Parker is so sweet with Brilee. He followed her all around the park. He kept her safe and also kept her minding her own business! 
Brilee gets so excited to play with Camdyn! He is such a cutie!

Hot Dog Roast

We are going camping this weekend in White Rocks Canyon, and so this evening we went up to scout out our desired camping spots. We decided to make a night of it and have a hot dog roast. Last minute Jake decided he wanted to come too. I am glad he did... it was a great night! 
They were SO excited to be going to the mountains!!!
When we got on the dirt we let the girls out of the car seats. We saw a cute baby deer, and after Brilee saw it I couldn't get her back in the vehicle. She just hung out the window pointing at all the trees.
Isn't Brilee a lucky baby to have so many sweet cousins who love her?
BUDDY BUDDY! (Things were good with them until Brilee threw dirt at her ALL NIGHT!)

Nothing like a fire roasted hot dog!

Brilee wanted Jens' chair. She tried and tried to get him out of it. 
So finally she tackled him.
When nothing worked (tackling, pulling, screaming, throwing dirt on his hot dog, hitting, and pinching) she decided she could just sit on his lap.
The girls loved this log.
Chazzy is such a little Mama!

Brilee couldn't sit on the blue chair unless it was full of dirt!
All the kids at the camp spot. Brilee was being a knuckle head and wouldn't let anyone hold her.
On our way home we saw these two bucks right by our house!
This one was a dandy for our area.

Birthday Parties

Brilee LOVES: cake, ice cream, cousins, partying, presents, and everything else that involves birthday parties. She is lucky because in our family we have A LOT of fun birthday parties!!!!! Today was Annalee's...
I love when I check on Brilee and this is what I find!
I got rid of all my baby stuff today, and during the process BriBear tried out all of her old baby gear!
Brilee is very spoiled when she is sick. She hasn't slept in her bed since she woke up sick Friday night... Now that she is better she is back in her crib tonight.
Mylee saved the day and took Brilee to the park while we waited for the party to start!
She felt pretty cool on the slides. 
We put Brilee and Marley in the swing together. It was the funniest thing ever! They both belly laughed the whole time. 

It was such a hot day today! Jake thought to bring Gatorade, and I am so glad he did!
Annalee and her cute pig cake.
She loves cupcakes! 
All the kids (well minus one) who came to Annalee's party.
Brilee and Cy in the badest swing ever!
Jake thought it looked fun... so he gave it a shot!
Brilee and Marley really buddied up today! They had a blast.
Elena and Brilee. 
The BEAUTIFUL garden!!!


Kissen' cousins...
The cats still around... it's amazing!
