Brielle's 1st Primary/Nursery Activity

On Saturday, the whole family went to accompany Brielle to her first primary activity! Originally I was going to take her and Scott was going to stay home with Braden however, Scott decided that he didn't want to miss watching Brielle have fun. So we all headed to the activity. It turned out to be such a fun activity. The theme was "Everyone a Missionary", they had different stations with different things that missionaries do. They had a "Laundry Station" where they folded laundry, it was really cute. Another one where they sang missionary primary songs...Brielle's favorite station was the "Bicycle Station"...Brielle LOVED riding the little bike, it was hard moving on to the next station because she was still REALLY interested in riding one of the bicycles. Needless to say, the next station was NOT successful with Brielle. They had another station where they had a world map, they blindfolded them and they randomly picked where they would go on their "mission". Of course Brielle "randomly" picked to go to Perú! It was SOOOOO fun to be there with Brielle and I really thought it was such a great idea to teach children about missionary work right now...believe it or not they learn! We have been teaching Brielle about the temple lately and now every time she sees the temple she gets so excited and says "temple, temple"! It's priceless!

Fun Website!

A friend of mine had this in her blog and I think it is SOOOO fun! Everyone should try it! www.freerice.com It is so addicting! and it is fun to see how much rice you can accumulate!(What a great cause!) I LOVE learning new words and testing how much I know! I hope you like it!

Braden's Videos of the Day!

All I have to say is that I am IN LOVE with my little Braden! When I got pregnant with Braden I cried so much and I was in such major denial that I had gotten pregnant when Brielle was 3 months old!!!! Just imagine that! He has been the most wonderful baby boy and truly has changed my life in every sense of the word. I mean Brielle changed my life but Braden DRASTICALLY changed it!!!!! I am a better woman and mommy because of him! My character has been shaped in sooooo many ways. Isn't interesting how as human beings we resist change?...at least I do...but I have realized that change brings growth. Braden has been the most wonderful change I could have asked for! His mellow little personality make me happy and his cute little smile and laugh make me melt.

Our Talking Girl!

Brielle has been talking more and more everyday! It's a really fun stage! This morning Scott and I were in the bedroom and she walks in and says, "Hi guys". She's also been saying "I want it" and "Noooo mine". We have one of those sun shades for the window in our car and the other day she was playing with it and broke it, so I said "Look Brielle you broke it!", very non-chalantly she said, "I broke it". She loves going outside, she get extremely excited! I wish you could see her. Every time we go out she says "OUTSIDE!" and then she starts pointing at things and starts naming them "grass", "sky", "sun". It's so cute to hear her say things. Her favorite word for this month is "pumpkin".

I have to brag...

I have to brag about my dear husband Scott! He is so amazing and we love him and appreciate him so much. He works so hard for our family...when he was going to BYU-Idaho he was such a good student and a hard worker and now that he is working at Olive Garden...he rarely complains about how hard it is so wait tables and lift all those heavy trays and getting everything right for the people that go eat there. He's just awesome! He recently had 2 interviews for medical school to Nova in Florida and DMU in Des Moines, Iowa. He heard yesterday that he got into Nova and today that he was also accepted at DMU. We are so excited and relieved...and I am so proud of him. He has another interview at George Washington University in DC next month and hopefully he'll get a few more that way we can choose the best program for him. But we are so grateful that of right now he is going to medical school no matter what!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!
