We've been having fun with Brooklyn the last two weeks. We love getting to spend time with the little munchkin.
We have gone to play at the Tree House in the mall, the park (with Julie and Melanie), Toy Story 3, Enchanted at the park, Grandma Debbie's and Grandpa Mike's, Grandma Josh's, and we even went to the dinosaur museum. We've had popsicles in the tub and gone out for ice cream. Cried over raisins dropped in the parking lot and missed some much needed naps.
Since she has been with us she has gotten so much better at going to bed. She gets a little sad and wants to cuddle with us but after we read a story, sing a song and have a prayer she goes to sleep pretty quick. She also loves to say prayers, she even helped her Aunt Amanda say the prayer at Grandma and Grandpa's house on Sunday. She loves to help with everything, she helped with the laundry and dishes and is really good at picking up her toys. She loves to play like I'm the mom of either the baby doll or baby Cinderella and she is the baby sitter and helps me take care of the babies.
Brookie loves water, oatmeal, raisins, cheese, marshmallows, marshmallow mateys, gram cracker cookies with vanilla frosting, bananas, strawberries and quesadillas just to name a few.
If any of you know me you know I love Cafe Rio. On our way to Toy Story 3 Brooklyn told me she wanted a quesadilla with a strawberry on the plate... otherwise known as a kids quesadilla at Cafe Rio. Its fun that she likes Cafe Rio about as much as I do :)
Our time has been so much fun! We are sad it is almost over and look forward next time.

Happy Birthday Chris!
Yesterday Chris turned 27!
We had a family party for him on Sunday. I tried to make a Batman Cake but the easy Fondant recipe I found didn't turn out to be so easy. I finally got the bat to work but the yellow fondant stuck to the wax paper and ended up in the trash. So we had a Chocolate sour cream cake with chocolate frosting with a black bat on top. I thought it was funny. It was so nice of everyone to come to his party. He has so many people that love him.
Last night... his actual birthday... we went to an Owlz game with Brett and Jenna and Bryce. Who are moving to New York next week. Everyone is moving away for medical school and I really would just rather they not move away lol. We had so much fun at the game even though they lost. I think we are going to have to go again sometime soon.
Chris- I love you so much and I am grateful for what you do for our family. I hope you had a wonderful birthday.

Ahhh Summertime
We've done lots of things that I haven't blogged about. Partially because I want to post pictures but never remember to post when I'm home.
For our anniversary we went to Las Vegas. We stayed with Chris's Aunt and Uncle Alba. Their house was beautiful. It was recently rebuilt because it burned down a few years ago. I can't imagine what it would be like to lose everything in a fire.
While we were in Las Vegas we walked around a lot....a lot a lot. I have a weird bruise on my toenail to prove it (its gross, I know). We went to Madam Tussuad's wax museum, the Cirque show Ka (this was our favorite it was like crouching tiger hidden dragon in person), and to The Kings Tournament dinner show. We had so much fun and enjoyed our little get away together.
For the fourth of July we went to Park City and rode the Coaster and the Alpine Slide. It was busy but not as busy as I thought it would be. I think the fact that there are so many different things to do in Park City now help with the lines not being so long. After Park City we went to Karen and Guenthers for Andrea's birthday and fireworks.
A few weeks ago we went swimming at the Veterans Pool in Provo and took Brookie and Josh. It was fun. It might have been a little more fun had it not decided to rain.
The weekend of the 24th we had a primary party Saturday morning. They had all kinds of fun activities. I'll have to post some pictures later. My favorite game to watch was where they had a couple of buckets filled with water and you would get a can with holes in the bottom and you had to use the can with holes in it and run from bucket to bucket before the water was all gone. Everyone who played that game got soaked. They had pickles and watermelon and bread with fresh made butter. There was fake buffalo poop... Brooklyn looooved it. :)
We also saw Despicable Me. It is so funny and cute. Brooklyn's favorite thing to tell people about the movie was that "The guy shook his butt". She cracks me up.
That night Brooklyn and I went to a BBQ with Becky and Angie and their families and then we went to watch the Fireworks in Spanish Fork. Brooklyn loved playing with McKenna, Audrey, Lauren, Parker, Jared and oh my goodness I forgot his name... Kelly's little boy... don't worry it will come to me later.

Frustrating
The last month or so has been frustrating.
It's frustrating when you don't know who you can trust. People don't do their jobs. They don't return numerous messages. Finding out things happened in the past and you weren't notified. Finding out that things said don't matter for one reason or another.
It's frustrating when you feel like you are doing and have done everything you can but it doesn't change anything.
It's frustrating that despite everything you have done people think it's not enough. People think that somehow there is something else that you can do even though you have been told you can not.
It's frustrating to wait. Its frustrating to lose time. It's frustrating to miss holidays. It's frustrating when you feel like the people being protected are the wrong people to be protected.
Sometimes life is just frustrating....

Carl's Jr
The weekend was great. We had so much fun camping with the fam. I'll post more later and maybe some pictures.
The Story...
My Mom had mentioned us eating before we came up to camp on Friday so we decided to just pick something up on our way.
We stopped at Carl's Jr. They will wrap their hamburgers in lettuce if you ask for it in a wrap and its great; especially when you can't eat wheat. It feels like you're eating a real hamburger not just a hamburger salad which is what it feels like when you eat it with a fork and a knife on a bed of lettuce.... sorry I got side tracked.
Back to the story-
We pull up to order at the drive thru and I tell Chris what I want and he starts to order for me and then from our back seat we hear a little voice say "I want a number three." We had asked Brooklyn if she wanted chicken nuggets or fries and she didn't she just wanted a number three.

Excited for the Weekend!
I am so excited for this long weekend. We have Brooklyn for this holiday weekend and both Chris and I have Monday off. Its going to be fabulous.
We're going camping with my family. My parents decided to go camping up American Fork canyon somewhere because there would be hopefully less snow.
....At least that's what I thought they were doing. I guess they picked a campground that still has snow and the campground hosts (or whatever they're called) have seen bear tracks the last couple of days.
I'm hoping our camping venture isn't too exciting.

Adventures at the Movies
Monday night Chris and I had a date. We went to The Spaghetti Factory and saw Letters to Juliet. Dinner was wonderfully delicious and very fast. I was worried we wouldn't have time to go to a sit down place for dinner before the movie... but we did and we had plenty of time.
After dinner we headed over to the movie. We were probably 30 minutes early which was fine with me. There was only one other couple in the theater when we got there and they were sitting in the very middle of the theater so we decided to sit on the top row in the middle... great seats. Being a Monday night I thought there wouldn't be very many people but I was wrong.
Right before the movie started tons of people came in and most of the seats were filled. The movie starts and guess what happens. This group of ladies comes in and asks Chris if we would mind moving... I really wish I would have thought about this before I moved.
We moved down about three seats next to a girl eating a pickle and closer to the guy with the nasty cologne that permeated the entire theater. Then the ladies that asked us to move were really loud and obnoxious the entire movie, acting like they were at home watching the movie. They laughed at parts that weren't funny and shared their opinions with each other a little too loudly.
At one point the girl with the pickle's cell phone rang. The girl in front of us got out her phone and was texting someone. Chris also said one of the ladies that asked us to move got out her cell phone too.
I don't understand... Why is this okay?
