Since having Brinley it has been a super busy week. I decided it's a lot harder with the third because you still have to entertain the older two kids and life goes on for them. Besides that it hasn't been too hard of a transition to having three just that Brinley gets dragged more places then if she were my first I would have been home recovering.
I put out the slip n slide so the kids could have some fun and it's so hot outside. They had a blast.
Kenzley can be such a stinker sometimes when it comes to dinner. So here she is not eating her dinner and she ended up falling asleep on the chair.
These two LOVE their little sister. I cannot get over how much they love her and it makes me so happy. There has been no jealousy or anything like I was expecting. They have fully embraced her and have loved having her. Kenzley calls Brinley her baby or her sweet baby. They both are pretty protective of her already. One time I was changing Brinley's bum and of course she was crying and Kenz runs into the room saying what are you doing to my baby! She was so worried I was hurting her or something.
The kids love to feed her. They don't get to very often since I'm breast feeding but to help get rid of the jaundice the nurses said to give her a little bit of formula and the kids loved being able to help feed Brinley.
Brinley's first bath. She loved it and stopped crying and it wakes her right up. So from now on we will try and give her nightly baths to wake her up for a little bit before bed so by time it's bed time she will fall asleep!
Cohen had his race Wednesday night. I have been so back and forth about whether or not I should go. I am one of those moms that cannot miss anything of my kids life but at the same time I had just had a baby and needed to recover and take care of my baby girl. In the end I was feeling okay and Brinley was doing good and I just couldn't miss Cohen's race, I would have felt awful. So we all packed up and went to his race and I bundled Brinley up right next to me. Brinley did awesome, she slept the whole way up to the race then I fed her and she slept the whole time through the races. Right at the end as Cohen was getting his trophies she woke up to eat. But she did awesome even though it was chillier and more windy then we expected. Luckily my friend let me borrow a wrap to put her in and I loved it, it kept her nice and snug next to me and kept my hands free!

All the kids that race in the Mini MX season! I have really enjoyed this season!
Cohen did awesome again this week. He got the hole shot for the first time both races and held the lead the whole time. He took 1st and 1st both times in the shaft and I think 5th and 4th in the other race. I am so proud of him! I am really glad I went because this is the best he has ever done and I would have been so sad if I missed it. He had a lot of supporters this week. Here they all are congratulating him. Grandma and Grandpa Utley came, Aunty Stacy, Uncle Mike and Oakley and Chloe, and Grandpa and Grandma Jackman.
Jaxon ran over to tell Cohen Good Job on getting first! It was so sweet!
1st and 4th place overall baby!
Everyone holding a trophy!
Cohen loves snuggling with Brinley!
Brinley has been stretching so much and I bet she just loves being out of my tummy so she can finally move! I love watching babies stretch too cute!
Cohen picked out a monster jam cake!
Cohen chose to go to Monsters University in the morning and then classic skating for his birthday. I didn't get any pictures at the movie because we were running late but it was a cute movie and we had a great time. Then we went to classic and the kids had a blast riding around.
Cohen trying out his roller blades!
I was there I promised. Moms are just never in any of the pictures! So here is one of me and Brinley.

Dad took the scooter out and biffed it pretty good. I wish I would have gotten it on tape!

Kenzley was pretty pooped!
Kenzley did awesome on her scooter she just cruises around and was trying to do tricks.
After a busy day we made it back down to our house and had pizza and partied a little more. Here Kenz and Cooper were having a blast with the balloon.

Opening presents
Now time for cake and ice cream. By this time of the night I think I was so exhausted and almost forgot cake and ice cream but you can't forget that part!
Brinley also found her thumb during this time so I had to capture that moment!
Happy Birthday Cohen! I hope you had a special day and I am so glad you are in our family! You are one of the sweetest little boys I know and I love you to the moon, the stars, and sun and back!
Now that my busy week is over from having a baby, to dirt bike races to a birthday party I am hopefully going to finally rest and recover from having a baby because I am exhausted!
