Canada Trip 2015

Brinley made her second trip up to Canada, first one since she was just a baby and couldn't do much quite yet. She loved every minute and absolutely would have drown herself running into the lake if we would have letter. It was so fun watching her swim around like a fish and then watching her catch her very first fish!

Canada is a special place and I'm so glad we got to experience it as a family this year. We will most definitely be going up there for many many years to come!

Watching daddy take the fish off the hook

Fisherwoman on the boat!

Don't feed the seagulls. Crap, they fed the seagulls...
Going pee-pee on the potty!
Way up high!

Whee!!!

Beautiful!



First time fishing!



Grabbing the leeches. She loved this!


Not so sure about the fishies...









Hey mom and dad, can I drive home?

We love Canada! Looking forward to watching this family photo by the sign change over the years.

Family Update, Summer Part I (May-June)

So I'm super behind on sharing all of our pics (I sense a theme here...) but we've been up to tons of fun stuff so far this summer! We moved into a new house in mid-April, sold our own home a week later and then went to Disney a week after that. Things slowed down a bit more for a few weeks but then we had Brinley's 2nd B-day party and then before we knew it Summer was in full swing!

Enjoy the plethora of pics from May-June :)

Getting Brinley's new princess room setup, love her custom castle decal
