And here we are at Scott's family cabin in Huntsville, UT where we all get together and play for long weekends and fun adventures. A few times a year we all go up and play as a family and have a blast. The cabin is right along a river that gets deep enough to swim in. Pretty cool.. So there's swimming and hiking and camping and bonfires and singing and tons of eating and barely enough sleeping :) This event was one of our last trips this year before the snow came creeping in on us. We had a wonderful time!!

Last trip to New York!!

So here it is!! Our very last trip to New York!!! Me, Scott, Brielle (of course), Steven and Emily all took a 2 day trip out to NY one last time before leaving New Jersey. We stayed at the Double Tree Suites right off the strip on Broadway. We really did have a blast and seriously, what a fun place to go play!!! We ate lots of yummy food, did TONS of shopping (the most I've done in a loooong time) Went to see the show STOMP!! Which was so stinking awesome, I recommend to everyone! We stayed up really late and walked the strip, which of course was still loaded with people at 1am in the morning... Its crazy how busy with people NY is. Our next adventures were "The Top of the Rock" where you go up over 70 stories high in the Rockefeller Center - Breathtaking view. Then it was off to The Body Museum where we got to tour the human body!!! I'm talking the REAL human body!!!!! Lastly we went to the Brooklyn Bridge and listened to a band play on the pier as we said our farewells to NY! :) It was so stinking fun!!

Brielle turns 2 years old!!

So yes Brielle did turn 2 this summer, on August 15th and yes, we did celebrate.. as most of you know, I am just a few months behind on my blogs, that's all :) So for Brielle's Birthday we went to the Zoo with, of course Aunt Emily, and some friends that we hung out with over the summer. Nicole, Bella and Alize, and they are just our favorite people ever!!! Nicole was the sweetest and showed me so many cool things in New Jersey. Her 2 little girls Bella and Alize were Brielle's little friends who she loved to play with and made up half of Brielle's vocabulary this summer. So we all decided to celebrate Brielle's special day at the Turtle Back Zoo in NJ and we had a lot of fun!! We got to see through a golfer hole in the golfer town and go on the Carousel - which as you can see Brielle wasn't too happy about, the animals scared her a bit. We played with billy goats and saw lots and lots of animals and took lots and lots of pictures.. It was just a great day and a great start to being 2 years old!!

Brielle's birthday party..

So later that night after an adventurous day at the zoo, we had a birthday party for Brielle at our apartment. We invited all the sales reps and had home made ice cream cookies with sprinkles - Brielle's fav! They were delicious by the way :) Here are some "break down" pictures of Brielle eating her ice cream cookie. She thoroughly enjoyed it... so did we all!!!! Happy Birthday Brielle!!

Opening presents!

After singing Happy Birthday and eating ice cream cookies, we of course opened presents. Here's Brielle in her new princess attire! She was definitely the star of night!!
