Looking for alligators...

Here we are at a company BBQ where we found a small river that Brielle became obsessed with. She's really into alligators right now and kept trying to find one in the river.

Ready to go Mom!!

Brielle all dressed up and ready to go to dinner with Mom and Dad. She always make the best 3rd wheel when we go out to dinner :) Booth seats are a must when she comes. Keeps here trapped in since she doesn't like to sit in high chairs.

Brielle's first time to the beach!!

Sooo, growing up in California, going to the beach was just something you do and had at your convenience. Living in Utah, you don't get to see the ocean very often :) Soooo now being in New Jersey, we get to go to the Beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We absolutely love it! These pictures are from Brielle's 1st time to the beach and she really had a good time. At first, the sand was "Yucky" and the waves were scary, but now she plays in the sand and has gone almost all the way under in the ocean. We miss Utah, but could stay here longer just for the BEACH!!!

Living in New Jersey

Here we are finally settled in our temporary home in New Jersey!!! Yay, SUMMER SALES begins!!! It's actually been about a month or so since the journey has begun, but I have finally updated our blog, so I am backtracking a little. New Jersey is absolutely beautiful!! What a hot and humid place to be though :) The amazing trees that surround us here make up for that awful heat, so we'll manage. This picture was taken at Outback Steakhouse with a team full of salesmen and of course, Brielle :) She was quite entertaining that night with her smiles and giggles and funny mannerisms. We had a lot of fun that night and are excited to be out here working away!!!

Apartment in New Jersey

Here's some quick shots of Brielle in our apartment that we are living in this summer. It is actually pretty nice and spacious... I would call it a small condo. We really like it but definitely miss our house back in Utah. One of Brielle's favorite things to do is gather up as many cans of food as she can and move them around in the kitchen. I never know where the canned goods are without having to look in various cupboards :)It keeps me busy in the kitchen that's for sure!!

Growing up so fast!!

Brielle is learning to do so many things and it is so wonderful yet sad because it is more of a reality that she is growing up so fast!!! She is like a big kid already. She's been told more than once that she is a "little lady" running around. Maybe it's because she hangs out with me all day long and we do a lot of grown up stuff :) Here are a few pictures of Brielle doing big kid stuff. She's going "poddy" on the toilet and folding her arms to say a prayer -- she already ate as you can see from her messy face :)

More Baths and Bubbles...

What can I say, Brielle loves to take a bath.. So there's always pictures of her in the bath. We got new "Elmo bubbles" the other day and they are out of control bubbles that get really high. Brielle loves it so I decided to take some pictures of her having a splendid time :)

Fashion Baby!!!

Sooooooo, there are the coolest malls out here in New Jersey and we are trying to go to all of them.. On this particular day, we went to the Short Hills Mall where Brielle became a fashion diva. Emily, my soon to be sister-in-law who is absolutely wonderful by the way, took Brielle on a little fashion make-over in Nordstrom. Everyone thought she looked so cute and told Emily she was "hired" since she did such a good job dressing up Brielle. It was so stinkin cute and hilarious. Brielle loved it too. She thought she was hot stuff!! We also let Brielle try on some make-up since she's such a FASHION BABY!!
