Wheeler Farm...

This is the pumpkin she picked out!

Hugging the pumpkin ( she hugs and kisses everything )


In October we took Brinley to Wheeler Farm to pick out a pumpkin and see the animals. We live right by the farm so we visit all of the time. Brinley loves to feed the ducks and snort at the pigs. During the fall you can go on hay rides around the farm. They have a cute little pumpkin patch that was just perfect for little Brinley to pick out her pumpkin.

Christmas Card Pictures...

In October we went to Murray Park to get some pictures taken for our Christmas cards. I wanted to take them early, before the snow came! My mom came with us so she could take the pictures. She took a bunch but only got a few good ones. Brinley doesn't like to sit for more than 2 minutes. These are the pictures we decided to use.

My 29th Birthday...

For my birthday this year, Jake surprised me with an overnight stay at Hotel Park City and dinner and Ruth's Chris. He had it all planned out for my mom to watch her for the evening and overnight. We got up to Park City and checked in then went to dinner at the Ruth's Chris inside the hotel then we went shopping at the outlets. My birthday was on the 25th of September so the weather was very nice we were able to sit out on the patio for dinner, which had a beautiful view. When we woke up we went to breakfast at Squatters then home to pick up the munchkin. We had a great time.

Kellen and Courtney's Wedding....

On September 22, 2010 my brother got married to a wonderful girl Courtney. They had their wedding at the U of U. It overlooked the city and the football field. I was a bridesmaid and Jake was a groomsmen. They wanted Brinley to be in the wedding, but at 14 months old, she was not going to cooperate at all. Her colors were black, white, and turquoise. She looked beautiful! We had Jake's parents watch Brinley during the ceremony then they brought her for pictures and for part of the reception then they took her home to bed. We had such a good time with family and friends. Congratulations Kellen and Courtney.

Brother's Rehearsal Dinner.....

Jessie- Maid of Honor and Maddy- Bridesmaid

My brother Kellen, got married back in September to a wonderful girl, Courtney. They had the rehearsal in my parent's backyard then the dinner was at Olive Garden. We got a babysitter to watch Brinley so we could enjoy ourselves. The dinner was delicious! Courtney gave all of the girls in her line some beautiful jewlery to wear with our dresses at the wedding and the guys got gift cards to Golf Galaxy. Congratulations Kellen and Courtney.

The Zoo....

Over Labor Day weekend we took Brinley to the zoo. She had so much fun seeing all of the animals and making noises at them. We thought she would just sit in the stroller but that was a mistake. She wanted to RUN through the entire zoo. I think by the end of the day we were more exhausted then she was.

Random Pics...

Valentine's Day....

On Sunday night Jake and I went to Market Street for a wonderful dinner. Grandma and grandpa Jordison watched Brinley for us. That night they gave her her Valentine's gift, a book, a huge mini mouse coloring book, a shirt and a pair of mini mouse jammies. The next day, Jake and I both had the day off. My parents stopped by to give Brinley her gift. They gave her some stickers, jelly shoes, a jacket, and an outfit. We gave her our gift as well. We gave her a sit on car, books, stickers, an outfit, a mini mouse blanket, and a princess picture frame. As she opened up her gifts she would say "cool" or "wow" and get so excited!

Zermatt Resort and Wasatch State Park...

Over Labor Day weekend we took Brinley to hang out with grandma and grandpa Jordison at Zermatt Resort and Wasatch Park. She loved the carousel so much we had to ride it 5 times. She also had a good time feeding, more like chasing the ducks.

California....

I am so behind on my blogging! In August we took Brinley to see my family in California and we made a stop at Disneyland too. We drove so we could take our time and stayed the first night in St. George then got to Newport Beach the next day. There was no way I was taking my wild 13 month old (at the time) on an airplane! We had such a good time. Brinley did great and had a BLAST at disneyland. She really loved the sand and the ocean.
