tHe StOrY oF uS...: August 2014

Whew...I can't believe this is the last day of August! This summer has gone by way to fast, and I definitely have not kept up with the blog. We have had such a fun summer, I'm sure I won't remember everything!

In June Brylee and I flew home to visit family and attend my friend Alyssa's wedding. My sister Sarah cam with us and we had so much fun. Bry loved visiting my dad's farm. She got to feed the goats and chickens, and ride Gus, the donkey. Her favorite was probably Weasel the dog. She loved Weasel but the feeling definitely wasn't mutual. Weasel would be comfortably laying down when Bry would shriek with excitement and run over to her. Then Weasel would move to the other side of the house, and brylee would follow. They just kept doing circles over and over (apparently Brylee never got the hint).

After my dads we went to Utah for the wedding! Brylee got to see her Shinkle grandparents and cousins, briefly. And after that we headed to Montana. Brylee and Jackson had so much fun together. They put on a magic show. As much as Jackson tried he could not get Brylee to say ta-da at the right time: "No Brylee, you have to wait until after I pull out the rabbit!"

Brylee had so much fun with all her cousins, some days I really wish we lived closer so we could play with them more.

Brylee's first visit to Sharkys!

In August Sam's parents came to visit, and we had a blast showing them around. Brylee loved having them visit, and was not ready for them to leave. While they were here we went to NYC. We also spent a day in Philly touring the history sites, played in Atlantic city, and toured a mansion in our area.

Sam and I celebrated our fourth anniversary while we were in NYC! Les an Nan played with Bry in central park, while we rented a rowboat and went out on the central park lake. I loved it, it was so much fun!
