This is the way to Grandma's house....

With everything that was going on with little Breckin, Shad came up with the idea to send Brinley back with his mom to Idaho to go camping so that I could re-coop. Even though Shad brought up the idea it still took him over an hour to finally let her go. It wasn't easy for me either. I knew it was a great opportunity for her to get out of the house and for me to try to get some much needed sleep! It was soo hard for us to watch her drive away even though we knew she was in good hands! As far as we can tell she loved every minute of her time with Grandma! We really appreciate Shad's mom being able to come down and help out sooo much while I was in the hospital with Breckin and for taking Brinley (and taking such good care of her)! Not that we don't love all our parents, but she has been exceptional. We sure love and appreciate her :)

I am not sure all the songs that Brin and Grandma sang, but one she still sings to this day from being with Grandma is. " This is the way to Grandma's House". Shad's mom took a video of Brinley using a long tall candle in a round candle holder as a microphone and is singing, " I Love to See the Temple" in a full length mirror. I can't wait to get a copy of it! It is super cute! She loves her cousins and spent the night at their house one of the nights. Autumn and Brinley also played dress up, as princesses of course:)

When Brinley came home I decided to make her a cake, get her a balloon and some flowers. I picked out a bee balloon (so happy to beee home is what I thought of when I seen it..cheesy I know) and some fall flowers. At first I didn't know what to do for her cake. I wanted to make it happy and bright. Brin isn't big on sweets, but I know she likes skittles. It finally came to me...a rainbow skittle cake! She loved it! As you can see there are liittle chunks of frosting taken out by someone's little fingers and two skittles missing...mmm honey where did those skittles go??? We are so glad she had the opportunity to go camping and more importantly spend some time with Grandma, but we are even more happy she is home again!!!
