Springville Carnival

It was Braelyn's first time going to a carnival and she was scared at first but then loved it

She didn't like the cars so much, it was funny how scared she was on it, but then when she saw us she would smile, and it ended up being fun for her.

Braelyn loves choo choo trains and she was all excited to go on it until it was time, we had to bribe her with an ice cream and of course she had a blast. The things we do to have our kids have fun.

We had a lot of fun with her and it was great to hang out as our little family and getting out of the house. So in this picture above we ended up having snow cones and she got all messy but she loved it.

Summer Fun

My sister Audrey was in town for a few days, and so we got the pool out and a fun little sprinkler toy and Braelyn's neighbors came and played and Braelyn's cousin Braxton. She has been having a lot of fun outside and especially with her friends.

See Ya Anya !

Braelyn's cute neighbor Anya headed out to Samoa to visit her Grandma and Grandpa until August 5th, and so her and Braelyn played a lot today, and these pictures were taken right before she left. We will miss her, she is a fun girl and Braelyn loves playing with her. She has great friends around here and it is fun because they are all 5 and older but that doesn't stop them from coming over. It can get annoying sometimes because they will ring the door bell several times, and then smash there little faces on the window until you come to the door, but Braelyn gets really excited when she hears it because she knows it is for her.

It is kind of sad because Braelyn has said several time today Anya, and I said she is going to be gone for a long time, and now when she says her name she also says long time. Good thing she has other kids to play with that live next door as well.

Zions Trip!!

We got to go to Zion's and hike up to Angel's Landing, and hike further to where we did 9 different repel stations back down. All of the repel's were 60 - 180 ft long. We had an awesome time, and it took us a total of 11 hours from start to finish which is really good, we were well done before dark, which we have done one other time and it took all day long.
It was me and 5 guys and it wasn't as bad as I thought they did like to give me a hard time though. I am the only one that fell twice, stepped in water, and some of my hair got caught in the rope and I had to just let it pull out which hurt a bit, yeah I had a great time, everyone else was fine and no problems, but I was a trooper and handled it and the boys.

Update on the Holbrook's

So I thought I would explain a little on why we have NOT been posting, Oh my goodness it seems like forever.

We FINALLY found a business to buy, and it works great for us. Scott bought a Window Cleaning business, and so we have been keeping pretty busy with that. You can check us out at seeclearwindows.com. The website will be up and running this week, so check out his amazing work, yes he did it himself. He even put together his own estimate sheets and I am just so proud of him, he has been waiting a long time to own his own business and he is doing awesome with it, and it is nice because I just let him do his thing and I don't have to get involved. I just know that whatever he does he will do well and be smart, but that doesn't mean that you can't keep us in your prayers that it does go well.

Then on the other hand we do work for my parents which I have mentioned before. They are Arrow Nocks, which are parts to an arrow, and so they put in a huge order that will keep us busy through August. I am glad that we have a lot of work, but when Scott is on window cleaning jobs it pushes me to do more arrow nocks, and so some days I am a bit overwhelmed, but we have been blessed so much, that I really can't explain. We have had a lot of prayers answered as well many many blessings along the way.

And last of all we try to make sure that we have fun with our wonderful daughter Braelyn, she is so good when we are working. I have her in gymnastics once a week, as well as playing with her friends, going on bike rides, library, park, and we just have so much fun with her she is the best.

I am going to try and get some pictures up so stay tuned, and sorry it has been so long, we do what we got to do, and my priorities are not in order right now.

It is really not easy being a mom, but the rewards are so great that it makes up for all the hard times.
I love my mom so much and have learned more than I thought I would, and I have realized from living with her that we are so much alike. We have had a fun time together, and Braelyn loves it too. I will cherish this time we have to live with them, because soon we will be on our own, and won't get to experience this again. Thanks so much mom for your inspiration, humility, and laughter your the best. I hope you know how wonderful you are and loved by so many people, everyone around you loves to be by you, Thanks for Everything.

We look forward to our visits in Cedar City, and you are just good at everything, we know that when Braelyn is with you that she is just in the best hands, I hope you know how wonderful you are and you should be proud of yourself and the great job you have done raising your children.

A lot of you work very hard, and I am thankful for each of you and the things I learn from everyone. Thanks to those that have kept in touch, and for your concern for us, and our wellbeing, we appreciate it so much.
Last is my Friends, I am so Thankful for all my friends that I have. I know I could do better, but the love I feel as though we were sisters is amazing. You have been there for us through our trials, especially these last few years, with figuring out what we were going to do, and all the hard times we have had, but especially for the good times. We are blessed to have the friends we have and I just want to thank those that have checked in with us, and have been there for us through everything.
Mother's day has been wonderful today, and it makes you realize how great it is to be a mom, and how lucky we are to have been blessed to have children. I hope I can be a great mother to Braelyn as well as to our future kids. Thanks again Ladies for all the support and I Love All of You.

Hailey's Birthday Party !!!!!

Brealy got invited to her first birthday party, and had a blast. She especially loved the crown that they got to decorate and the wand.

Braelyn is still a little young for party's because she spent the whole time in this car, so much for joining the other girls, but Jayce had someone to play with. Well as long as he was in the back and Braelyn was driving, she is already setting her ways for when she is older. Women would just rather drive so that they can go there way, other wise we tell the men where to turn, how fast to go, etc. Yeah ! Scott doesn't it like it when I do that, but I am learning to just let him drive.

Oh! Another picture in the car, even when it was getting colder, and they were about to eat the cake and icecream I had to go get her to come in, I guess we will have to save up for a little car.

It was cute all the girls played kick ball, and they all had a good time. That is the birthday girl Hailey kicking the ball, she is a cute girl, and plays with Braelyn so good.

Here is all the princesses with their crowns and wands. It was a fun party, and Braelyn had fun.
