If You're Happy and You Know It Stomp Your Feet!


Today Nicci stomped her cute little feet over and over as she explored the fun that the Water Park entailed! This morning Amy & i decided we'd take the girls to the Water Park and let them play for a while. Seth even took half the day off to come play with his girls in the water all afternoon. It was Nicci's first time at a Water Park and she had an absolute blast!! It was such a fun day i couldn't wait to post all of the pictures! How DANG cute is our little Nicci-D?!




Here's Nicci dancing around in her new swimsuit that she loves so much!


Me and the new BFFs. SO DANG cute.

How CUTE are they??


Love them.


Nicci going in the water for the first time.

My little DIVA!!

The two most beautiful people in the entire world.

Me & my Princess.

Oh so warm in her favorite Dora towel!

------ Here's some fun clips of our amazing day! ------


Nicci & i received an unwelcome spray in the face! It was hilarious.





After we came home and put Nicci down for a nap...we laid down & read Twilight! EEk...so good!



"Under the plan of heaven, the husband and the wife walk side by side as companions, neither one ahead of the other, but a daughter of God and a son of God walking side by side. Let your families be families of love and peace and happiness. Gather your children around you and have your family home evenings, teach your children the ways of the Lord, read to them from the scriptures, and let them come to know the great truths of the eternal gospel as set forth in these words of the Almighty."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley

Hey you! Holy cow! You have been so busy! :) I am so glad everything has worked out for you! I was wondering what happened to your car. Also, those pictures of little Nicci and you and Seth are soooo adorable! I love water parks! (for about an hour...then I need SHADE! haha!) but yeah, that is soooo fun! And by the way...the Twilight books are the best! I have read all 3 so far...and I read them all really fast because I couldn't put them down last summer! lol! Ok...I think my response is long enough, I love you! I can't wait to see you in JULY! LOVES! :) Give Nicci a kiss for me!

I so wish they had parks like that around here. Emma loved the one at Daytona Beach when we were there. How fun!! So you finally gave into reading Twilight? I just read them a few months ago and am so ready for the final one to come out. You need to call so we can catch up!! P.S. Your hair looks super cute!

Brandi Lyn, you are too beautiful. You have such a perfect family. The kind that most people dream about. Your pictures are so cute, it makes me want to have kids! I love you girl.

Oh Heck! Your little girl is too cute! Once I get a little more "on my feet" I would love to take her pics (if I could) trying to build up my portfolio. Hope all is going well for you...it was good to see you.

I LOVE LOOKING AT YOUR BLOG!! SOMETIMES LOOKING AT THE PICTURES AND LISTENING TO THE MUSIC YOU CHOOSE GETS ME ALL TEARY EYED. LOVE THE NEW PICS SOOOOOOO CUTE

Brandon and Lindsey B said...

Nicci is so grown up! She is adorable in her new swimsuit :) I am glad you are enjoying Twilight, they are great books! You might kinda hate the third one though. I'm hoping the plot turns a little in the next book so here's me crossing my fingers! -L

Cyndi said...

Too cute for words. I love water parks. We got so used to going there for the summer when we lived in LV. Now we just go to the beach! HAHA WE GO TO THE BEACH! Neener neener neener.

Lindsay said...

Those are some cute, cute pictures! Nicci's so fun to watch, my boys sat quietly still for the 3 minutes of that video, totally intrigued! At the end, they both wanted to watch it again! I'm sad that we missed you at the park that day! I definitely want to go there again, a little more prepared to go in the water this time!

Ashley Clark said...

Maybe your family should model for Macy's or something? Have I already suggested this?

Jensen Family said...

Can you please be done with Twilight already so that we can talk about it? I want to go to the water park with you :(

Unknown said...

That looks so much fun! Where is that park at Logan might love it too!? Nicci is so cute she is a total diva in those sunglasses! lol

Sammy said...

Glad you're back and blogging. Cute pictures! Twilight is so good huh? I can't wait till the movie comes out!

The Foote Family said...

I loooove those books. I totally stayed up into the wee hours reading them. I would also recommend The Host by Stephenie Meyer. It is her new book that came out last month. I enjoyed it as well (it takes a few chapters to really get into, but it is also awesome! Stephenie Meyer rocks.) Also, where is that water park? It looks like a BLAST! and Nikki is so cute.

Looks like a way fun day at the waterpark! I love that quote by President Hinckley! What talk is it from? Please let me know!!!

familyof4 said...

Waterparks are so fun! You'll have to take Nicci to the Henderson MultiGen sometime, it's a blast! And You my dear, are absolutely beautiful!

We are looking in Anthem Highlands, Madiera Canyons and the Country Club (if we are able to find something that isn't to outrageously exspensive.)

Pamela Williams said...

hey you changed your picture!

yeah all that running around at the water park will wear a kid out! glad you guys got some time to yourselves...

p.s. i love that quote by gordon b. hinckley AND your new hairdo!

Kirsten said...

She is sooo cute! I can't believe how fast she is growing up. (BTW, I got Brynlee that same suit a couple months ago and when Brynlee saw Nicole in it too, it made her day!!!!) The videos are super cute too. I can't wait to see you guys again. Someday we'll have to get together...
And I have to tell you since you are loving Twilight, you have to read The Host by Stephenie Meyer too. Maybe you already have, but it is just as good as Twilight. Ammon just finished it in 3 days too. It is that good!!

Shelise said...

Shes totally turning into such a big girl. I can see her personality more and more through the pictures. I love the age shes at. Still very young and sweet but old enough to make you laugh your head off. Looks like you had a lot of fun. What water park did you go to?

ps I still need to get those cds back to you. Let me know when is good for you. I really want to return them so I'm not worried about the fact that they are still at my house. lol.

Ellie said...

ok so I am finally not only making a comment about how adorable the pics are, but I am finally out of my blogging slump. I think I should be a photographer since I did take a few of those pics ya know?! We need to take the girlies again this week for sure. We totally missed you guys this weekend...I thought it was funny that Seth missed his BFF! Oh how cute they are ahhaha.

Becca said...

Nicci is adorable!! She's growing up into such a beautiful girl!!! She looks so much like you!!! I have to tell you, I love Twilight too!!! I'm excited for the 4th book to come out!!

Alexis Treese said...

Goodness Gracious... 23 comments. It is so wonderful to see you and your family. I love the blog world! The Trop Ward days are so vivid, we've had so many memories together. I have to say that the quote by our beloved Gordon B Hinckley struck a strong chord with me. I cant stop crying, such lovely and true words and I know I have found my equal and I am so happy you found yours. Sorry so sappy, I'm just overwhelmed with the spirit. I cant wait until the Lord blesses us with a child.

Amber and David said...

Question...How do you still look so dang cute after running around at a water park??? I love your hair short! I too decided to opt for the mormon mommy haircut! It's SOO much easier to do! Nicci is so cute in her swimsuit! Gotta love a baby in a swimsuit!
