Kenzi's 5!I had so much fun with Kenzington's birthday this year! I wish time could just stand still sometimes. My kiddos are seriously growing up way too fast.<br />
<br />
When I asked Kenz what kind of birthday cake she wanted, she said, "A Chipette birthday cake!" What?! My first thoughts were... "Really?! There are so many different princesses and frozen stuff you can get... And you want Chipmunks?! Do they even sell that stuff?" Well nostalgia and the craft bug kicked in an the rest is history. (I thought Pinterest would be my friend to plan a chipmunks birthday, but there was really nothing on there.) It was seriously so much fun for me! I based the whole theme off of the Chipmunks Adventure from the 80's. My sisters and I loved that show when we were little.

Her invites were movie ticket stubs. So to kick off her party we let Kenzington open one present early, which was the "Chipmunks Adventure." Then we watched the movie which the kids loved... and I'm not going to lie, I loved too.

In the movie they race in hot air balloons around the world to gather up dolls. So of course we had to have little hot air balloons as part of the decor.

I ordered miniature Chipmunk dolls off e-bay to use as Cake toppers and play a Chipmunk adventure game with. The kids had to "race" around the house to gather up all the dolls. (It was a glorified treasure hunt with cookies at the end. (See below.)<br />

We also played a game I entitle... "Feed Elenor." (A variation on Bean Bag toss.)The kids got a kick out of trying to feed the chipmunk by throwing stuff through her mouth.<br />

As for the cake it was a <a href="http://camillestyles.com/uncategorized/recipe-for-a-food-flowers-fete/"><b><i>Raspberry Pistachio Marscarpone</i></b></a> and it was AWESOME! Pistachios are Kenz's favorite so I just pinterested "Pistacio cake" and it was one of the ones that came up. And since raspberries are her favorite fruit I thought it would be perfect. It did not disappoint!<br />

Kenzington's Chipmunk and Chipette birthday party was seriously one of the most fun parties I have ever thrown. I loved it and Kenzi LOVED it!! There are so many fun directions that you could take this theme.</div>

April started out with my birthday on the 1st and it was awesome! The Saturday before my birthday Brandon had borrowed our friend's, the Laws', horses and he surprised me by taking me horseback riding. It was so much fun until I got bucked off!! Ugh! I felt like I got hit by a bus! My arm still has a scar from where the horse stepped on me. I'm still so mad at that horse for putting a damper on the perfect birthday by bucking me off! I had to bounce back rather quickly, because he had planned a surprise party for me with the Cowley's, the Jewkes', the Smith's, and the Beagley's. Bless his sweet heart! He'd made a homemade Tres Leche cake for me, printed out a binder full of love letters and emails from our missions, and seriously just spoiled me. He can be so sweet and thoughtful.<br />

I'm not going to lie the thought of turning 30 was a little daunting, but I just like with any other birthday I still feel like the exact same person. Age is just a number. And to be quite honest, I think my flirty, thirty, and fabulous years are going to be great!<br />

My mom and dad took the day off of work and came over to spend my birthday with me. We went out to lunch, played with the kids, and just had such a fun, relaxing day. My aunts Annie and Ellen came over the following day to take me to lunch and come hang out with the family! We absolutely love spending time with them. I felt so LOVED and so spoiled! I often don't feel that I deserve the wonderful family that I have.<br />
<br />
My sisters also took me out on a girls day, shopping for my birthday, minus Alyson. They always do this for my birthday and I enjoy every minute of it. We went out to dinner and a movie. I could get use to these birthday week long celebrations... they are much more fun than just one day. ;) <br />
<br />
Shortly after my birthday we celebrated Miss Brooklyn Paige's birthday! Oh how we love our sweet little 5 year old!<br />

She wanted a dress up princess party with her friends and butterfly cupcakes for her birthday. She had such a fun little party with all of her friends! 10 little girls came to her party. It was kind of a lot and little chaotic but they had a blast. And mostly importantly she LOVED every minute of it. They were all so darling in their little princess dress up clothes.<br />

Brooklyn graduated preschool! It is crazy to think that she will be starting kindergarten in the fall. She is so ready for it! She is such a little smarty pants! She got the most prestigious award in her preschool class... Little Miss Reader! (Proud mommy moment!) She is very studious and loves to learn.<br />
<br />
She loved all the little activities that they did in preschool from visiting the fire station, to cowgirl day, to motor-cross, to biker day, they really got to experience it all.<br />

Brandon and I celebrated our 7 year anniversary on the 11th of May! 7 years!! No itch for us. :) Our anniversary also fell on Mother's Day. So it was extra special... or extra lucky for Brandon... killing two birds with one stone. We celebrated Mother's Day at my awesome Mother's house having a Mother's Day luncheon with my sisters, minus Alyson. It is always fun when we get together. I really feel so blessed to have so many awesome Mother's and examples in my life. I sure love them all!<br />

My mom watched our kids that night so that we could go on an anniversary date. We went out with Ashly and Kimball Lee on a double date! It was a blast. We went on a "choose your own adventure date" complete with bowling, Chinese fire-drills, truth or dare, Olive Garden, Sip-it Sodas, and playing pool. The highlights of the night were our crazy made up bowling names and dance after a strike or spare, turning in the name Lequifa to Olive Garden for the waiting list, Ash and I killing Brandon and Kimball in pool, Brandon putting Soldier Boy on the jute-box and it being a totally different song than we expected, and just talking about grown up things with one of my besties. It was so fun!<br />

This past Sunday, the 18th of May, was Brandon's birthday. It's hard to believe this sexy beast is 32! :)<br />

I celebrated it by leaving him alone during sacrament meeting and all of church with all the kids. Of course they asked me to speak on his birthday, I was also in charge of sharing time, and had Ward Council. Brandon didn't even complain once. He is such a good dad and father. My talk went well, but mostly I am just glad it is over. It was on learning to be happy. I love the learning and preparation that goes into giving a talk, but the anxiety of public speaking never seems to completely go away, no matter how much I do it.<br />

Brandon has been studying like crazy the months of January, February, March, and first part of April. He was away from home so much trying to prepare for the Professional Engineering Exam. We missed him. On the 11th of April he took his 8 hour exam. It is a pass or fail exam. No score. It is graded on a curve of how well paid professional engineers do on the exam. And you don't get your results for 8-10 weeks!! Eek! The anticipation has been killing us. Well just yesterday Brandon got his results back and .... PASS!! We are thrilled! And I am so proud of Brandon. All of his hard-work and time spent studying paid off.<br />
<br />
Little Miss Bridgette is as happy as ever. We love her to pieces. She is growing and changing to fast. I just wish she could stay little for longer.<br />

Kenzington and Brooklyn are starting t-ball in a few weeks. It will be so fun because they get to be on the same team!! Brooklyn will also be starting swimming lesson the first of June. She is so excited. She is loving piano lessons. I am actually teaching her, and she is such a dedicated little student. I teach 6 other kids piano lessons as well. We are definitely keeping busy, to say the least, with no signs of slowing down this summer. But we love being actively involved in our ward, community, and family life. <br />

As a family we have been staying super busy. I've been trying to keep up with the three little Miss's, get the new Primary year going and running smoothly, playing women's volleyball, playing bunco, starting a freezer meal group and a craft group, teaching piano lessons, and being especially dedicated to becoming more fit. Eight weeks ago I started a program called Great In 8. It has been so awesome for me to compete... and I am actually on track to win the entire program for the state of Utah!!! (Yes! I am tooting my own horn here! Woot! Woot!) Plus the prize winning money will be nice too! If I was a little bit gutsier I would post my before and after shots, but... well, I'm not.<br />

Brandon has been busy with work, Young Men's, basketball, and studying for the PE. The PE stands for Professional Engineer. It is his big state exam that gives him his state certification and stamp. It is a HUGE/HARD 8 hour Exam! I know he is going to do awesome on it, because he is awesome at anything he sets his mind to accomplishing. Brandon's brother is also getting married in New York this summer, so we are planning a "No Kids" trip to NYC, of course we will be taking baby Bridgette. It's kind of become a tradition that we take our babies on a vacation when they are under a year old. :) Brooklyn went to NYC and Washington D.C. at 9 months, Kenzington went to Alaska at 5 months, and now it's little Bridger's turn. We are so excited for his brother Joseph and our soon to be sister-in-law Jenne!!... Not to mention excited for a fun vacation!<br />

Brooklyn is staying busy with preschool, dance, piano, and playing with friends. We get to register her for Kindergarten on March 11th!! I still can't believe that she is going to be in Kindergarten! She is such a great big sister and is always willing to help out with anything we ask. She has a little job chart that she has become obsessed with and is always asking for more chores! (We will see how long that last for. :)) She's gotten really good at making her bed and cleaning her room. I love to see her so willing to help out around the house.<br />

Kenzington is mommy's little buddy. Her and I get to spend a lot of one-on-one time together while Brooklyn is at school and Bridgette is napping. I am so grateful for this time. She has the funniest, spunkiest little personality. She just turned 3 and thinks she is SO grown up. She loves playing outside and especially riding her bike. Everyday she asks if we can take off the training-wheels... and with her determined attitude I'm sure she'll be ready for that real soon.<br />

After much debate about being induced Brandon and I both felt like it was a good option for us because then we could have my parents come and watch Brooklyn and Kenzington. Plus, it would make things all a little less stressful to have a plan.<br />

So with the induction scheduled for 7 am, Friday, August 23rd, my parents made the trek over to Castle Dale Thursday evening, the 22nd. The evening was pretty uneventful. Mostly trying to spend last minute time as a family of four and get anything we had forgotten ready for the baby. Bags were packed and we were ready for the next day!!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Well I think the baby had plans of making her big debut on the 23rd regardless, because I woke up at 1 am having pretty steady contractions. Nothing super painful, but very consistent. I could not go back to sleep. So I did what any normal 39 week pregnant person would do... started walking the neighborhood. I finally woke Brandon up at 5 am and we got ready to head to the hospital. <br />

They broke my water at 8:30 am and started a bit of pitocin at 10. Bridgette was born 3 hours later at 1:02 pm! When the nurses said that she was absolutely perfect and I heard her first noises, I instantly started to cry. Tears of joy I assure you!! We absolutely LOVE our little baby Bridgette, and could not be more proud to call her ours!<br />

~ Just a little bit about Bridgette's name. ~<br />
Before Bridgette was born Brandon and I had narrowed the name down between Bridgette and Sydney. Less than a month before her birth we were doing some family history work. (Our ward has been doing a big push on family history.) We were tracing back lines on both mine and Brandon's sides of the family. We had to go back pretty far and off on tangents, as a lot of our genealogy work has been done. We found it very ironic that on both of our lines we ran into several Bridgette's. That kind of sealed the deal for us and we knew that it should be her name. We also chose to go with the french spelling, cause it has more significance for mommy. :) French pronunciation: brih-jheet. <br />
<br />
We chose the middle name Charlize because it is after her father... Brandon "Charles". It is also her great-grandpa Brady's first name. Brandon wanted one of the kids named after him. But since Charles isn't really fitting for a little girl we went with Charlize. :)<br />

My sisters all came to visit at the hospital... her little Liam came too. He is 3 months older than Bridgette. He was 11 lbs. 8 oz. at birth... so he might be a bit bigger, but I bet within a couple of months Bridgette will give him a run for his money. :)</div>

KENZINGTON: She is my little spit-fire. She is so feisty and fun. She wants to be apart of everything that her big sister is doing. So, like her sister, she does a lot of swimming, dancing, and t-ball. (She really wants to be apart of the team, but alas too young.) She has a knack for picking things up really quick. She was completely potty-trained before she was 22 months! She is a very quick study.

They have given her a bottle with a longer nipple so that she can eat. And she is amazing at it. She will not have a reconstructive surgery until she is 9 months old... older babies handle the surgery better. All-in-all things are looking great with Ellie! 1 in 700 babies have this, so it is a relatively common hick-up that the doctors specialize in. She will go back every 4 weeks to be re-evaluated and assessed. <br /><br />I got to meet her yesterday and she is beautiful!! Such a sweet little girl! I get to spend a lot more time with her this week as school is starting and Alyson could use my assistance with the kids. I love my sisters and would do anything I can to help them out! I'm so lucky to live close enough to be around. :)Brandon and Amanda Bradyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02487180137293657377noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700696197430081151.post-69767340553360706312012-08-16T22:23:00.006-07:002012-08-16T22:55:28.770-07:00Ellie Ann StraitTonight has been a little bit rough for me, and I can only imagine what my sister Alyson must be feeling. <br /><br />My new little niece, Ellie Ann Strait, made it here safely. 7 lbs. 9 oz. and 20 inches long. And from what I hear she is just beautiful! (If she's anything like my other niece and nephews I'm certain this is true.) I can't wait to meet her!<br /><br />Shortly after her birth they discovered she could not nurse. <br />The cause... a Cleft Pallet. (Not to be confused with a cleft lip.) <br /><br />I do not have much more information than that. I have yet to speak with my sister due to all the craziness surrounding this situation... this was not discovered until she was born. Ellie is being sent to Primary Children's where she will be evaluated. We will hopefully know more tomorrow.<br /><br />This situation brings a lot of emotions and memories.<br /><br />While bathing Brooklyn and Kenzington in the bathtub tonight a flood of emotions hit me. I could not stop crying. Why do things like this have to happen to little babies?? It just seems so unfair.<br /><br />Brooklyn looks up at me: "Mommy what's wrong?"<br /><br />Me, with tears streaming down my face: "Alyson's little baby is sick."<br /><br />Brooklyn: "It's okay Mommy. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Jesus will take care of her baby</span>. Just like he took care of me when I was in the hospital."Brandon and Amanda Bradyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02487180137293657377noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6700696197430081151.post-4840386393256102792012-08-16T20:21:00.011-07:002012-08-16T23:13:27.285-07:00On the go!The summer is always a little bit crazy and busy for us! But always a ton of fun!<br /><br />(I kind of go on a blogging strike during this season because it's much more fun to be playing outside and making memories to write about during the long cooped-up winter months!)<br /><br />However, here is just a quick update on some of the things that we have been up to.<br /><br />Our 4th of July was spent at Jessica and Coby's out in Delta. We didn't take very many pictures, because we were playing in a Tennis tournament. Kenzington was seriously the cutest little candy catcher I have ever seen!

It definitely put things in perspective having my husband and two babies along the trek. I had done it years ago when I was in young women's, but it was a little more realistic with having kids there. Nap-times were difficult, but we had to press on. I can't imagine not having diapers. The missionaries there read us an entry from a pioneer mothers journal. She said that her children would cry themselves to sleep every night because of the cold and exhaustion..... I cannot imagine going through this!!

We decided to send off some floating lanterns after the pasta barbeque! We only let off two of the ten that we had because THOSE THINGS TAKE OFF!! And they don't just go straight up! (Blonde moment, I know!) I was certain that we were going to set this dry desert on fire when it landed. Brooklyn thought it was so neat though, so it was worth it! :)<br /><br />I had so much fun asking Brooklyn her 20 Birthday Questions. Just so we remember what she liked when she turned 3.

(10+ steps together unassisted!)<br /> ~Favorite food is now yogurt, particularly Greek yogurt. (Yes, she has very refined tastes. Our little gourmet!)<br /> ~She has really caught on to squealing whenever Brooklyn has something she wants. She is starting to realize that it gets Brooklyn in trouble. (Mom's caught on now too, so I won't be fooled Kenz!)<br /> ~She weighs 27 pounds! (She is approximately 4 pounds away from Brooklyn!) <br /> ~She is SUPER sensitive. If you tell her no or give her an even slightly non-friendly look she will burst into tears.<br /> ~Kenzi loves to surprise anyone. Sneaking around the corner, peek-a-boo, "watch what I can do", ... anyway to get that look of surprise on your face.

Such an amazing experience. Met a lady and her baby there. Her baby had a skin disease, but was absolutely the cutest thing. The baby loved my bracelets and so I just gave them to her, because she was such a little miracle and anything to brighten her day.

Brandon devised this brilliant plan of placing spoonfuls of her food on the lemon bottle and then she would suck it off herself.

Kenzington kept getting ear infections. You could always tell when she had one because she'd go from perfectly content, amazingly good baby to agitated fuss pot.

However, the only time they could do the surgery was during the move. Brandon was already working down in Castle Dale, so I had my wonderful neighbor Penny Jensen watch Brooklyn while I took Kenzington in for her ear surgery at 7am. The initial day after surgery was a little rough, but since then it has been a night and day difference for her.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyf_9Yv5yGVnvd57PmaVB6KJoENpF5V9kaU9Yy7wM9dkVgGLWU0ew5-O2eR7uXcLGXDG0JFxWAYptYbr4PvL4-jb48r3ERLtEYGrdpxXW8miZzghpR0VKGpX5-e6Q5Yl8V40QZ5qTKceo/s1600/IMG_2627.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyf_9Yv5yGVnvd57PmaVB6KJoENpF5V9kaU9Yy7wM9dkVgGLWU0ew5-O2eR7uXcLGXDG0JFxWAYptYbr4PvL4-jb48r3ERLtEYGrdpxXW8miZzghpR0VKGpX5-e6Q5Yl8V40QZ5qTKceo/s400/IMG_2627.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695023555298083346" /></a><br />We did do some fun things while Brandon was gone working and we were alone in Logan packing up the house. To take a break from the monotony we had a girls day with our cousins Chole, Oakley, and Taci to the Logan Zoo! We were sad we didn't get to spend more time with them. (They moved up to Logan two weeks before we moved out.)
