Pan-O-Prog 2014 and Brinley's First Parade

So every year Matt’s fire department participates in the annual community festival Pan-O-Prog and hosts a waffle breakfast as well as rides in the parade. I’ve gone out the last several years and this year it was even more fun with little Brinley!

She enjoyed her waffle this morning but the highlight of the day was definitely the parade. It may have even been the highlight of her life, she loved it so much! From the moment the first float went by she was clapping her hands and waving at everyone. The only thing that kept making her mad was the fact that Mommy wouldn’t let her run into the street and get run over. What a mean Mommy! J

Then a float went by playing the Frozen theme song and she started waving her hands in the air and dancing, it was the cutest thing I had ever seen and reminded me so much of the little girl we say mesmerized by the parade at Disney and I actually teared up. Oh Brinley you are so adorable you make our hearts absolutely melt! It was so fun watching you have the best time at the parade and it was truly a memory we will never forget.


We did have to chase you a bit and change positions to keep you from trying to run into the street so we didn’t get a lot of pics. I actually only got one selfie of you and me, but despite the lack of pics, I will never forget this day!


Summer Update 1

It’s nearly impossible for me to keep us with all of the fun things we are doing this summer so I decided to do a couple of summer update posts versus individual ones for each event. Giving myself some grace and deciding it’s okay to not capture it all! J

Anyway, we have had a really great summer so far with lots of family time, outdoor time and just enjoying our little one. She is at such a great age and loves exploring everything.

Here are a few pics from her first time in the pool, hanging out at Minnehaha Falls and the 4th of July. Plus a few other random ones. Enjoy!
