Brooklyn's story/ Testimony

On Sunday Brooklyn told Jared she wanted to write a story. She told him what to write and this was the finished result. After I read it I was totally blown away and kept asking if she really did it. I wanted to share this but mostly document what she wrote.

I want to be baptized when I'm eight. I want to wear nice clothes, pure and white. Jesus will be proud of me and the Holy Spirit will help me choose the right. Be nice to others and Jesus will know. He lives on every cloud. Jesus will know when we are kind and share with others. I will be kind to other and the baby, and he will be blessed for choosing the right.

Halloween Fun!

We had a super fun Halloween this year. Brooklyn was a fairy, Brady a dinosaur/scary monster, and Jared and I were the priest and pregnant nun. We love Halloween so much that each year it is a big deal to figure out the costumes. Brady was not into the whole thing as the rest of us so he was either in his basketball shorts or his spyder hat. He is a such funny kid that has a mind of his own. Brooklyn's costume was so cute and she loved ever second of it especially the glitter on her face and hair.
Thursday: Brooklyn had a preschool party where she got to dress up. She loved it!
Friday: Brooklyn and Brady went to a birthday party for their friend Venice. It was really fun to paint pumpkins and play Halloween games. Brady really struggled and I couldn't figure out if it was because it was nap time or if he was overwhelmed with the whole thing. When I got him in the car he told me "I go Red Robin and get cany" in the most pathetic voice. So we went to see Daddy and get cany.
Friday night Jared and I went to our friend Dan's 40th birthday party. We dressed up in our crazy costumes and had a ball. The best part was Jared carrying around his Book or Mormon.
Saturday: We got up and went to a party at Red Robin. Jared is awesome about doing fun things for his employees and their families. We had a great time but again Brady was having none of it. He spent most of his time on top of a table or laying face down on the floor. (Who are his parents seriously) After that we packed up our stuff and headed down to SLC to spend the night with my parents. When we got there we had a yummy dinner and got ready to go. The kids at this point were done so we only went to a few houses. I loved the reactions that we got from our costumes one couple just didn't say anything. One of our friends asked a group of 12 year old girls why it was funny and another asked if we had got kicked out of the church. Brady and Brooklyn loved getting candy and got so excited when kids would come to the door to get some.
All is all it was such a fun holiday.

Calling in Pregnant!

Why have I not blogged in forever?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I AM PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The due date is April 2nd but it will be here at least a week early because of my c-sections. Brooklyn told her primary class before I was pregnant that we were having two babies. So I have been so scared but I am happy to report there is only one!

I am sorry that I have been so terrible about blogging but I have been sick and we have had a lot going on. We are trying to sell our house in SLC. Jared's job is busy as ever. Brooklyn is loving school and dance. She is so cute I can't believe how mature she is getting! Brady boy is growing up so fast. He loves to make jokes and calls everyone "Boo Boo Chicken". He loves to talk to my Mom on the phone. All in all we are surviving.
