The Last Couple of Weeks

We have been doing so many fun things lately.

Last week our good friends the Marshall's took us out to dinner on Friday. Chris, Miriam and Jared all love sushi. We went to Sakura which is where Chris and I went on our first date. Since I got the grill they we all sat there and we got a little show with dinner. We took Brooklyn with us and she liked the food, even some of the sushi which was surprising.

Saturday we went to the BYU game it was such a disappointment. We ended up leaving early. Brookie stayed at Grandma and Grandpa's house while we went to the game. Andrea was so nice to watch her. While Andrea was watching Brookie she had her only accident of the whole weekend. She pooped a little in her panties and then had a major blowout mostly in the toilet. I guess it still got all over. I'm glad I missed that one. hehe




Chris started hockey on Tuesday. He's had a cold for the past little while and is still getting over it. I was worried about him the whole time... afraid he was killing himself. It seems like most of his team hasn't played much but it sounds like everyone is pretty nice and I'm sure they'll have fun. It was fun going to the game even if they did lose.

Yesterday we went to Five Guys ...... mmmmmm..... and then we went to see Jim Gaffigan in Salt Lake. We went with Ian and cute pregnant Amy. Jim Gaffigan is so funny. I haven't heard a whole lot of his stuff but recognized at least one of his bits (Hot Pockets :). Chris said most of the stuff he hadn't heard but he closed with some of his older stuff. It was amazing he went on for at least an hour and a half without stopping and didn't even have a water bottle... aaaamazing.

Brooklyn's Funny

We've been trying to help with potty training Brooklyn. Its really difficult since we don't get her very often. She's been struggling with it but has been getting better. One of the days we had her right after she had her bath she said she needed to go potty and she held it til she got on the toilet. I think it helped that she didn't have a pull up on and it will probably help if she wears panties more often. Pull ups are just to close to being the same as diapers.

Last week while Brookie was staying with us Daddy asked her if she had to go to potty and she said no. We've been trying to keep her pull ups dry. Not very long after he asked her she had wet in her pull ups when Chris was asking her about it she said "Daddy it was a assanick". She repeated it a few times before he realized she was saying accident.

We love her little voice and the funny way she says things.

We went shopping and she loves the shopping carts with the cars on the front. She hopped right in and bucked herself up. After a little bit she was saying something we couldn't tell what she was saying... it sounded like some naughty words so we had to get closer and read her lips. She was saying "I want to buckle Jessica up". She then told me to get in the little car... unfortunately I wouldn't fit hehe.

Sometimes we like to teach her words and help her pronounce words she already knows. For example last week I was trying to help her with the word Yellow. She pronounces it Lellow. I kept saying "say Yell O " She gave me the funniest look and said "Yell?". She can say Yellow slowly but goes back to Lellow if she goes fast.

She is growing up way to fast. She loves Princesses and being pretty. She really knows her shapes and is getting pretty good at her colors. She loves for me to sing her a song before she goes to bed. For the most part she is really good at going to bed in her own bed without complaining except when she "just wants to lay with Jessica". She looks so much like her Daddy and is definitely his little princess. We miss seeing her every weekend and look forward to the time we do get to spend with her.
