Little Concerning

On my way home from work I was jamming the radio when all the sudden this horrific noise blared through my speakers. It started beeping and then they said "Warning... extreme thunderstorm watch in the Southern point of Uintah County and Northern point of Grand County. Golf sized hail falling and winds blowing at 60 MPH. Weather conditions could lead to tornado's. The storm is moving North at 40 MPH." Our camper is on the Uintah/Grand county line. Grrrreat...

Book Cliff's

We have a spike only elk tag this year, and we plan to do all our hunting in the Book Cliff's. Jake and I love it down there, and are excited to spend some time there. Saturday we decided to take our camper down, find a camp spot, do some scouting, and get wood. After driving for almost five hours we found a BeAuTiFuL camp! It was a long drive, but it will be worth it soon. After we set up camp we went to scout for elk. We got out of the truck and immediately heard elk bugling. We saw around 15-20 elk and there was a spike in the herd. We were excited! We went back to camp, cooked dinner, watched Aladin, and went to sleep! We all slept so good. Jake woke up early to go and scout. Brilee and I were going to go with him, but when I woke her up she said, "nononononononono". I agreed with her so we went back to sleep! Jake saw two spike elk together right off the road, and so we are feeling pretty good about our hunt! When Jake got back we ate breakfast, cut wood, and made the long trek back home. It was a nice weekend, and I am really looking forward to spending more time there. 

Brilee spent the first hour screaming from her car seat, "I WANT OUT", the next three hours sleeping, and the last hour driving on Dad's lap!

WHERE IS BRILEE? It's a good thing we thought to put the orange bows in her hair!

She loves camping.

Our family at our beautiful camping spot!

She was exhausted after getting wood, and slept almost the whole way home. YA!

Happy October

More Pictures

So far I have updated with every picture Tessa has sent me, but I just love them so much I can't help myself!

Family Picture

Tessa just emailed me one of our family pictures. I loved it, and wanted to share! She is one talented girl. She also sent me some of the Laws' pictures!

Corn Maze

We love the Bluebell Corn Maze. I am so happy Mylee has her birthday party there every year! This year Jake and I seemed to get through the maze better than we have in the past. It must have been Brilee's help!

She was SO excited!

The kids getting ready to get LOST!

Mylee, Brilee, Katelynn, Marley, Jaylie, and Jens lost in the maze.

Riding the tractor to the pumpkin patch!

Out of all the pumpkins this is the one she wanted. Then she ate it. Crazy girl.

We got to baby-sit Rowdy today. Brilee was so happy about it! 

20 Months!

I just happened to notice the calendar and realize Brilee is 20 months old today! I looked at my blog from last year on this day, and I am so amazed how much she could change in a year. It's sad, exciting, fun, scary, and many other emotions! Brilee is learning so much everyday, and keeps everyone around her happy. She is such a joy! Some of our favorite things about Brilee...

Chore Time with Daddy. Jake can no longer be outside without his little shadow. I love this, and think it is so sweet to watch them "working" together. 

Bed Time is always a good time! Brilee finds books she likes and makes us read them every day. Early this summer she was obsessed with Farmer Brown, then came Brown Bear Brown Bear, and her newest obsession is Where the Wild Things Are. She is SCARED of the book, and really hates when the Wild Things "roar their terrible roars, gnash their terrible teeth..." But then the wild rumpus begins, and her life is happy again! I am worrying this book is giving her nightmares. 

Brilee is talking up a storm! She calls me Kelsey most of the time. She lets everyone know when they are touching her things by yelling "MINE!". She talks to me about her kitty cats. She answers NO to everything. Sometimes I feel like she is learning a word a minute, and I love it! 

I always hold the camera and take pictures like this one, and on this night Brilee had the camera and was going around the house pretending to take her picture. She brought me the camera and said "cheese". So, I did what she wanted of course!

The flash is bright, and she always closes her eyes!

Lately, Brilee has been hiding a lot! She is either in the pantry, bathroom, closet, or behind the couch. The couch is her favorite. She crawls back there and folds into a little ball. She giggles the whole time I am looking for her (which is great help in finding her).

Some toys never lose the novelty, and this horse is one of them! She loves it as much now as she did the day I got it off my shelf for her to play with. 

SAD NEWS! Brilee fell off the chair after dinner and bumped her nose on the way down. This is her first bloody nose, and let me tell you... DRAMA! She cried for an hour, stopped crying, Jake came home, and she started crying about it again. Poor baby!

HAPPY NEWS! Rowdy is here! He was born on September 20. He weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces. 7-11... he is going to love Slurpee's!
