8 months!

My sister Rachel took these pictures...she is AMAZING!!! I LOVE them! I'm going to miss having her so close to take all of my pictures for me. You can find her blog here. These are actually pictures of when Brynlee was 7 months.

Brynlee has gotten SO much personality lately!! She is just getting to be so much fun! She's had a rough couple weeks lately, she has had 6 teeth come in at once! Poor girl..but I guess it's good just to go through it once then over and over again. But because of that the poor girl has had horrible diaper rashes and ear infections. But hopefully that's behind us for a little bit.

We think she is going to be a southpaw. She loves to clap, and she does with with her left hand. And she is now feeding her self little treats like cheerios and those puff things, and she does it with her left hand. So...we shall see!

She is SO close to crawling! She'll get on all 4's and then just kind of do a little dance swaying forward and backwards. She is scooting all over on her tummy though, we really have to keep our eyes on her. She has found herself some lungs! She has got this high pitch scream that she LOVES to do! When she's happy, when she's mad, and just to hear herself. She's a pretty good little sleeper which makes a really happy! She usually goes to be around 7:30-8 and wakes up around 8. Sleeping through the whole night. She just jibbers all day long, sometimes it sounds like she's singing a little tune too. And she is ALWAYS happy! Everyone is always commenting on what a good little happy baby she is. We don't know any different...she is just the sweetest thing!

Likes:
* she still LOVES kisses, she thinks it's so funny when you kiss her feet
* loves going on walks in the stroller
* loves grandma and grandpa
* putting everything in her mouth
* splashing in the bath tub
* when I dance..probably because I look so goofy
* LOVES having her cousins play with her!

Dislikes:
* getting her diaper changed (because of the dang diaper rash)
* peas and meats
* when I walk out of the room when she wants something, she's already starting to get a little attitude
* the snow
* driving in the car for 14 hours! but she actually did pretty good

We sure love our baby girl!

Adam got a new job!!!

So Adam got a job with Fidelity in Scottsdale, AZ!!!! We we're SO excited!! They are a great company to work for, they treat their employees really well! So it all happened pretty darn fast. After accepting the job we moved to Arizona two weeks later, and we are loving it! My dad is like the nicest person I know, he helped us drive and move down, and got up and flew out the next morning at 3. Anyways...on the drive out here I was realizing how far away from family we are going to be, and then when my dad left I was really really sad, all of my family is around Idaho, so it was hard to leave. Then we got up the next day and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! It was like 85...and that quickly made me happy to be here. And Adam got to love it extremely fast because two days after we were here his uncle got tickets for Adam, his dad, brother and uncle to all go to the Elite 8 March Madness game! He was SO excited! We have a pool and hottub right out side our bedroom. The second day we were here we went out to go swimming and lay out, and we were the ONLY ones out there, there were some people that walked by in sweaters and jackets. We thought it was pretty darn nice outside. We've been wanting to move to Arizona since Adam graduated, so we are so excited to be here. We are loving it so far! Brynlee and Boikins are too, we go on a walk everyday and they LOVE that, just love being outside!

 Don't mind the mess...we just moved in. I think Brynlee really loves being able to wear shorts and dresses without being all bundled up with tights and sweaters and coats. :)

Eating Solids

These are probably gross pictures, but I think they are funny. Brynlee is a pretty good eater. She seems to like everything except peas. Her favorite thing that she thinks is so funny is get a mouth full of full and then spit it right back all over you. The last two pictures with Adam feeding her...well he doesn't take that well, so he gives her a taste of her own medicine and puts it right back on her (her forehead), but she thought that was pretty funny too.

 I thought this picture was funny with Boikins trying to steal his ball back from Brynlee...

Baby Brooklyn!

We had such a fun weekend...about a month ago. We were able to all meet up and go to Utah together and meet Brooklyn. She is ADORABLE! And it was so much fun for all of us sisters to be together...minus Stacy :( It was just a day, but it was so much fun to all be in the car together, it made the 10 hours in the car go by really fast! I just love all of my sisters so much! Beth was able to come over for a while and it was so much fun to see her and meet Jack. 

Playing in the Snow

Our 1st counselor in our bishopric owned one of the ski resorts in Twin so we had a ward party up there and went tubing. It was SO much fun!! Brynlee definately has Gooch blood in her, she did not like the cold and snow! But we did take her down the mountain on the tube, and she seemed to enjoy it, I just don't think she had any idea what was going on. But it was pretty sweet, you didn't have to walk up the mountain each time. They had a lift that would drag you up there. We LOVED our Twin ward, so many great friends, so it was such a fun night!
