utah and idaho summer trip!

we LIVE for this trip each year.  i have now been sick and pregnant for three summer trips and i can honestly say my burden is significantly light with grandparents around to help with the girls.  hazel and cora automatically go up to my parents room at 6am every morning and i can't say i'm upset about it.  this sick momma needs sleep!  and jolly ranchers.  lots of jolly ranchers to keep the nausea at bay!

hazel LOVES wakesurfing.  she continues to be a little daredevil every year.  

we went horseback riding, and to wade lake... and of course the fourth of july fireworks playlist was on point this year.

 cora did not like wakesurfing.  she is not a daredevil like hazel.  but i was SO PROUD of her for being brave and trying it!  

life lately

lately we've been wearing a lot of dresses, had some grandma and grandpa visitors, a preschool graduation, disney trips, and a whole lotta love

they don't even know what he does for them.  5 days a week, he gets up early, puts on some nice clothes, and goes to that place called "work".  it's too abstract for these little people to grasp, and i am grateful they don't really get it.  and yet, they sense how hard he works for them.  and they KNOW how much he loves them.  because he spends every moment he can showing it and saying it.  grateful for my partner in crime and in life, john harman brunt.  aka dad/husband of the year.

they love each other fiercely.  a little too much sometimes.  i'm sure one day i'll look back and laugh about it, but right now my top phrase is, "don't touch your sister!"  so far we've avoided any major injuries

my two girls.  happy to spoil them with overpriced cotton-candy in front of the castle any day.

easter weekend in AZ

THE ENTIRE BRUNT FAMILY GATHERED FOR EASTER!  some kind of wonderful miracle.  too much delicious food and fun cousin time.  plus, it was swimming heaven for these two fishies:

baby sister comes to visit

Jenna is going on a mission in August to Edmonton, Canada. Super thrilled for her and also superthrilled that we got to host her for a few days over her spring break. We went to our favorite spot, 22nd street in Hermosa, as well as Venice beach boardwalk (for the people watching and salt and straw obviously), Manhattan Beach Pier, and Disneyland of course! What a treat.
