Moms gone wild.... or crazy

Rilynn and I recently took a girls trip to the Wolf Creek area of Utah. My parents are the BEST and had an extra condo that we all crashed in. It was chaos, but I loved every minute of it! The babies were so good and it was great to spend some much needed time with the mamas. I'm posting a million pictures but there were just too many cute ones.

Amazing all the kids are holding still and not screaming

Going for a walk 

This was about the most hilarious moment. We of course were asking a lot trying to get a picture of all the babies. It was so hysterical that everyone was having a melt down and Hawk was trying to escape. Well just image what that picture could have been haha! 

Hawkins was so in love with Rilynn and was so adorable with her. I see a little romance in the making

Are you dying? So stinking cute

On the last day we left our babies on the beach with some great babysitters and took a wild ride on the tube. I don't think I will ever forget how hilarious that was. Emily was freaking out, I was laughing so hard I thought I would pee my pants, Charish was shrieking and Cali was flying all over the place. Oh man it was a highlight of the trip for sure the pictures kind of speak for themselves.

Jetts cute bare bum 

I consider myself so blessed to have the most amazing family to put together this trip and the best friends in the world. Not only are they so gorgeous but they are some of the best people I know. They uplift me and help me be a better mom. I couldn't ask for better role models! It was exactly the vacation I needed during a very emotional and trying time. I am so blessed!

Rilynn's Blessing

Rilynn Paige Bringhurst was blessed August 12, 2012 by her dad Steven Brett Bringhurst 

My baby is such an angel and it was a wonderful day to celebrate her and give her a name on the records of the church. She is loved by so many people. I wish I would have gotten more pictures of everyone that came to support us but as you all know its kind of a hectic day. Thank you so much to everyone that came your love and support doesn't go unnoticed. 

 The beautiful blanket was made by my dad's aunt Ila

 I did not make the dress for those of you thinking I am that good :) I did make her headband and she wore the shoes that I wore when I was blessed

 When I saw this fur shawl I couldn't pass it up. Everything is cute in miniature

 We had such a nice lunch after the blessing at my parents. Thank you thank you to everyone that brought food and a big thank you to my parents for all the hard work they did to make it special for Rilynn and I.

Stuart Family Reunion

Wow what a crazy month it has been. I've been a little absent from blogging and have so much catching up to do. Work has been very busy and as we head into fall will only get more insane! Young Womens is challenging as always but I'm sure I'm receiving many blessing right? I've been doing a lot more photography, which I totally love! I have managed to find time to do some playing and have great pictures as proof. Some people may think I'm dying hopefully I'm not. Since Rilynn has been born I've been sick with 4 colds/sore throats that last 2-3 weeks and then the stomach flu last month. I feel like I have been sick non-stop. I hope with seasons changing it will eventually come to an end and I can enjoy motherhood without feeling like I'm on the verge of tears. And last but not least I LOVE being a mom. Rilynn is such a wonderful baby and I soak in every minute I get to spend with her. She is growing up so fast I hope I can remember her tiny baby stage.

This summer it was time for the Stuart Family Reunion. This isn't your ordinary reunion it is always spectacular and the company is even better. I love my family so much and already can't wait for the next reunion. It's a little crazy to think Rilynn will be a two year old, seems so far away right now.

The reunion was at Pine View Reservoir. Due to work I was only able to play for 1 1/2 days but it was great to see everyone and for them to meet Rilynn. Unfortunately I didn't take many pictures but the ones I did were too cute not to post.

 Crafty Aunt Shauna brought stuff for everyone to make their own hula hoop. Who knew you could make your own? I could never hula hoop but I can with these ones. I think I found my new aerobic exercise. 

 My wonderful friend Ashley came with me so I wouldn't have to drive alone and helped me with Rilynn. She is such a great friend huh! As you can tell I'm a little excited my childhood dream of doing the hula hoop was fulfilled. 

AJ getting tricky on us!

 Cool cousin Jason was inventive and helped the kids make bow and arrows out of duct tape and branches from a tree

  I can't help but fall in love with this drooly face

Pictures say a thousand words

My AMAZING friend Bobbi with Journey Photography was so kind to take some beautiful pictures of Rilynn and I. We all know how much photos mean to me and these are priceless. I want to cry just looking at them. I know they are something I will cherish forever and hopefully when Rilynn sees them when she is older she will understand the love I have for her. I couldn't pick just a few, so it is a bit of a photo overload but there are too many good ones.
