Weight Loss

Lately I have been thinking about ways I could start losing some of my "Baby Fat" and I was looking on the internet and found this article/slideshow thing I thought some of you might find it interesting and informational.

Icky Ears...

So it's official, Boky has another ear infection!!! Both ears once again. They put her on a three day antibiotic and if this doesn't work we'll probably go see an ENT for tubes. This time has been the worst yet. She has had fevers, boogy nose/face, drooling, and VERY grouchy. We've got the humidifier going with some liquid vick's and that seems to help a ton at night. We also put a blanket under the mattress of the crib which seems to help a bit. I am hoping that by the time she ends her antibiotic tomorrow she will start feeling and acting like her normal self!


Oh one more thing...
Brooklyn turns 1 on the 7th of next month. We will be having two parties, one in Tremonton on that Friday (November 7th) and then one that following Saturday (November 8). Please RSVP. I don't have times yet but the planning is under way ;) either email me or comment on this post if you will be coming or not for cake and ice cream, THANKS!!

Treats...

These pictures are a few weeks (possibly months) old but I felt like posting them anyways...



We had gone to the dollar store in Brigham for something (Halloween decor I believe) and when we went to check out the cashier offered Brooklyn a lollipop. I couldn't say no, she was so excited. We were going to wait to give it to her until we got home because they make such a mess but we let her have it in the car instead. It probably only took 5 minutes to dissolve the way she was drooling. It was funny after wards because her mouth was yellow like the lolli, and because I got her to open her mouth for a picture. She is so fun!! Can't wait to see how Halloween goes!!

Carving Pumpkins in SLC

Make a Smilebox slideshow

This past weekend we went and spent some time in Salt Lake. It was fun to be able to visit and not worry about going around and visiting every single person, we kept it very low key.

With Halloween coming up Amanda decided that we should carve pumpkins! It was a great idea!! So you can see how well they turned out...

We also had a blast watching Brooklyn walk around and play with the dogs and just be her funny little self (except for the part when she fell into the table and had a huge goose egg between her eyes, that was scary). It was a great weekend!!

All she wants to do is dance...

22 Years

Today its my Mom and Dad's 22nd anniversary.
Twenty-Two Years!!!
Congratulations to them both. They have been through a lot together and have made it through. They are such good parent's and examples to me and my 3 little sisters.
Thanks for setting a good example and for all your hard work through out the years...
WE LOVE YOU!!!

More Walkin

She's Walking!!

So Brooklyn has been walking for a little while now, but I haven't got it on here. So I finally got it!!! she is still trying to perfect the walking thing and is doing pretty good. Take a look!

My Niece...

Broken...

I'm so sad and so thankful...

This past Tuesday my washing machine broke!!! It's practically brand new (We have had it for a year and a half) so I was very mad. It won't drain any water and it's a front loader so it's a disaster when you go to open the door and the water gushes out on to the floor. Zach tinkered with it, I tinkered with it, we removed and cleaned hoses, and we couldn't fix it. SO... we called GE to see what they would cover because it's still under warranty. Well they don't cover anything over a year and suggested we contact the store we bought it at (Lowe's) to arrange something with them. We called and gave them all the numbers and letters and codes and FINALLY they said that parts and services are free of charge with the extended warranty we bought with it (for four years). Well I was all excited and then they said ok we have an opening next tuesday...WHAT??? I have to wait a whole week to get my washer fixed? What do they expect people to do, use the laundry mat? I am so MAD! I am however thankful that I have my mom so close and that she has a working washer and dryer (and is/was willing to help me out. I did opt to use the clothes line though!)


Aren't the mountains in the background beautiful? That is what my parent's get to wake up to every morning, I'm so jealous!!

Musical Brooklyn

At Grandma De's house there are MANY toys to choose from but this particular day Brooklyn decided she liked this little horn thing (it goes to a set that has a drum, cymbals, and a tambourine). It has a whistle in it and she can actually make it work so she thinks that is pretty cool. If you haven't noticed lately in almost all the pictures taken at Grandma De's house are on the 'TIME OUT' bench or stairs, she is such a mountain goat! She climbs over and onto anything possible. I thought her being mobile would be great but it's not so great.
