Four to One

We went to the Zoo in May to celebrate Kylie's, my niece, birthday. We gave each of the girls a dollar to give to the cockatill.

Brynlie and Aubrianne loved the Bald eagle, so we got a picture by it.

Clint thought it was funny to see a six and a half month pregnant lady riding a pig. The similarity between the two made for such a good photo opportunity. :)

We went with Erin and Daniel to Salem pond to try out the kayaks that they made. The girls liked them a lot because they could control them all by themselves. However, the little bit of a breeze that was blowing made it so they got tired out pretty fast and had a hard time coming back to shore. Brynlie was the most dramatic about the situation, but she always is.

Brynlie's cat had three kittens, but only one lived. It worked out all right though because that is all we wanted for ourselves.

Aubrianne's kindergarten graduation. I don't know why they have a graduation for kindergarten, but she was cute and sang her songs really well.

Brynlie's preschool end of the year program. She was so cute. Every time they finished singing a song she would be the only one to stand and bow or curtsy quite comically. I don't know if you have seen wild hearts can't be broken, but she reminded me of Sanora Webster when she made the horse jump for the first time and she couldn't stop her peculiar bowing.

We took the girls on a bike ride along the Provo river. It was a blast and the girls did awesome. They probably ended up biking over a mile or two. Brynlie got a little tired by the end, but she still did awesome.

There was this cool swing along the trail that was hanging from a tree about 70 feet up in the air. The girls loved to go as high as we could get them.

When we got done riding our bikes, Clint showed the girls this weed called bed straw that would stick to your cloths. The girls thought that was so cool. They even made bed straw outfits. Unfortunately, on the way home they were kind of scratched up and itchy. It mad for a little bit of dramatic ride home.

The county fair

McKelle loved this train, but the noisy whistle scared her to death.

I finally had my baby, and she was worth the swollen cankles, the stay puff marshmallow feet, and the aching hips and back that came along with her. What a perfect miracle. Clint got to deliver her(with some coaching from the doctor). He thought that was awesome, but it didn't get us any discounts. :) Fortunately the stay puff marshmallow feet and cankles disappeared once she was delivered. We named her Addie Emberlee Nielson, and she is fitting in great with the rest of us girls, and Clint of course.
