Surprise, Surprise it's a Post!

This is a typical face for Cade. He loves to you give you a thumbs up.
We started the summer off by driving to Utah. It was my dad's 60th Birthday! We had a great time with all of the grandkids running around. Oh yeah, there were lots of hot dogs too. You can't have a party with dad and not have hot dogs and pop. It was pretty good.
Brooklyn and Cade had fun exercising to a Jillian Michael's DVD. Brooklyn did the entire thing. I was impressed. Cade on the other hand, kept getting tired. Maybe it was the cowboy boots?
Brynlie is probably going to be our bag lady. She loves to put shoes on and carry anything that might resemble a purse.
Brooklyn turned the big 6! She had a Hannah Montana party with her friends and cousins. It was her first party with friends so she had a great time.
First day of school already! She was so excited and is still loving it. Party because she says she gets 3 recesses. For that reason alone she wants to stay in first grade forever!
Cade couldn't leave without giving her a hug. As we were walking away he told me how much he was going to miss her. Then when we went to pick her up he said, "Mom, I might cry when I see Brooklyn because I missed her."
Brynlie is now 18 months. Wow. That went by fast. She is coming into her own these days. She's not afraid to let you know what she thinks. She is also quick to give hugs. She always walks up to the kids when they are in time out and hugs them or pats them on the back.
We were afraid we wouldn't get any smiles but she was all over the camera idea. Every time she would say "cheese" she would start laughing.
They are all growing up so fast!

Awww...we're always so happy to see pictures of your kids, because seriously, THEY'RE ADORABLE!!

I love that Brooklyn and Cade are so close that "he might cry" when he sees her because he missed her. How sweet is that!?

Brynlie is way too cute. That curly hair is just too much.

Fun to see your kids and hear what's going on. Cute pictures as always! (And I'm thinking we need to move back to AZ--our first graders only get the one recess at lunch.)

Cade makes me cry, he's so sweet! You'll have to bring your kids over someday after school to play with Lucy (and maybe Maya and Cicily too).

I love the pictures! That is a very 'pink' birthday cake that Brooklyn has. I love it. Good job Chelsea. Cade and Brooklyn just make me laugh, but the 'bag lady' on Brynlie is toooo cute. Thanks for the post. Sure love you guys.

Cute kids! The first day of school can be hard on the siblings, but it looks like she is excited.

Cade is such a sweet boy! I love that they get a long so well.

Brynlee is so cute wearing those sunglasses and holding that bag!
