Last week Nathan's brother Brian came home from a 2-yr mission to Tennessee--Spanish speaking.  We met him at the airport and it was really fun to see him! All his family came in town and they had a huge party for him. Nathan is loving being able to have someone else to talk to in Spanish--with all of their inside jokes.  Here are some picts where we went out to eat before the airport--we don't go out that much anymore with 2 kids so I took pictures.  We love Italian!  I just can't get enough Bruschetta. 

As for this week--we have already taken Brenna to the ER b/c she fell down and cut her eyebrow. That was a first for us at the ER. She is doing okay but a black eye is coming in.  I am now just trying to check things off the list before SADIE comes. I am getting really excited and my Mom will be here in less than a week!  Yay!  

Here are some pictures of the girls from after church. They have been playing so much better together lately. It is so nice.  I thought these were sweet ones with Nathan. Dallas has been begging to wear this dress since last Christmas and it was finally cool enough today. She loves the "twirly" long dresses that spin. Brenna has been cracking us up with her singing all day and she got to go to her 1st USC game yesterday. 

Highlights from Alaska

Isn't it beautiful! Nathan was so lucky to go on a trip to Alaska with his brother, Dad, and friends. He had a great time and we are so excited to eat fresh salmon and halibut for a while.

 I missed him a ton and am so glad he is back. It turned out to be an eventful week for us--starting off with a leaking kitchen sink and ending with a trip to L&D for preterm labor. Fun fun. Anyways, enjoy the picts!

We went and saw our friend's new baby this week. He was SOO cute and 1 lucky boy because his parents are amazing. They have also babysat our girls more than anyone. I wanted to post the picture with Nate in it even though it isn't a great one of the fam but we hardly have any with him in it since he is always taking them. I was also really jealous that Frannie wasn't pregnant anymore, but I am getting pretty nervous about having a newborn around with my other two little ones. 

Who LOVES makeup?

I went to run errands and Nate took these picts of the girls after their naps putting on their gorgeous makeup. Dallas even did Brenna's eyeshadow. Their hair is just Bed Head.  

Put on your Boots

We took a trip to the county fair last night. The girls had a blast feeding the goats, seeing all the animals, getting a pony ride and eating yummy fair food. 

Dallas's Trip to Mexico

These are  pictures from when Dallas went with her Grandparents and Aunts/Uncles and Cousin Abby to Mexico. We missed her soo much but she had a great time and Brenna got to be spoiled all by herself.
