The Past Week

Chad's parents and sister came into town last week to lend some extra hands in helping with Brielle and Bryce...not to mention help with cooking and cleaning! We had such a great time with them around...here's a few pics highlighting the week.

We made a trip to Canoe Creek State Park where Brielle loved playing in the water and sand and Bryce just enjoyed napping.

Is this not the life?

I just love this pic...they look like they have the same expression

We also enjoyed a little pool time in the backyard

Naturally, a trip would not be complete without ice cream. Grandpa and Grandma bought Brielle her very first cone (prior she always ate off ours!) Pretty sure there is no turning back from here on out!

More Lounging

Grandma also took Brielle out to "ride her bike" Riding bike took on a whole different meaning with Brielle. Apparently "riding bike" is...

...pushing it from behind

...or having Grandma pull while Brielle pushes...

...oh wait - she might actually be riding her bike!

...nope...Grandma still pulling!

Gotta love this sweet little face...

...and this one too!

We also went to the high school track and football field one night to let out some energy.

Brielle challenged Chad and Aunt B to a race. Here they are at the starting line...

...And here they are turning the corner to the finish line. As you can see Chad is nowhere to be seen.

A glimpse at what her teenage years are going to be like!

Thanks so much Mom and Dad and Beef - we had such a great time with you and LOVED having the extra hands to help out!
