The Wedding is Here!!

HOORAY!! The day has finally come that I get to see my older brother, Chris, marry the girl he has been waiting for all his life. He has waited so long to find the right girl, and now that I see him with Annette, I know they were meant for each other. They both just smile from ear to ear when they are with each other. They compliment each other so well. They look great together. I am so happy for both of them & only hope for the happiest days & years to come--also a few babies, too. =)
Their wedding was beautiful! They were married in the Boise Temple & the ceremony was so touching. A lot that was mentioned focused on families & how we each have specific roles, but we also need to work together. It was wonderful to see Chris & Annette next to each other. It was hard to hold back the tears. The feeling there was special & everyone was touched by it.
Congratulations Chris & Annette!! You are a wonderful couple & I am so happy to have Annette join our family. Chris is lucky to have found you--I'm glad you both decided to talk to each other while standing in line at the Singles Conference. What a miracle!!!

Thoughts that remind me of what's important...

2/15--I told Brooklyn that I was going to eat her up & she responded "No mommy, I'm not yummy!"

12/1--We took the kids to the zoo & Brooklyn loved it. She can't stop talking about it & tells us everyday she wants to go to the zoo someday. We ask her what she wants to see & she tells us "monkeys, penguins, tigers, Jiffys...". We have a bird at home named Jiffy, but I couldn't figure out why she wanted to go to the zoo & see him. I finally realized that she thinks the birds she saw at the zoo are called Jiffys. I know she knows the word bird so I haven't figured out why she calls the birds at the zoo Jiffys. Maybe they looked similar. Anyway, it's cute how she put the two together.

11/3--I was in Target today walking through the kids clothes area. Brooklyn saw a Hannah Montana shirt & called out "Hannah Montana!". Next thing I know she is singing "Best of Both Worlds" song by Hannah Montana. I just started laughing. She's not even 2 & knows this pop hit. She learns so much from her older sisters.

9/13--Today, Allie was singing "Happy Birthday" to me. She likes to make up her own words & sang "happy birthday to you. You are older than the sun." I stopped her right then & said "What?". I began laughing, as did Jake, & then Allie started to a little bit. I don't think she really knew what she was saying, but it made me wonder if she really thought I was that old.

7/15--Whenever I call Brooklyn she always responds saying "Minute!". I don't know how she learned that, but I don't always like my 1 year old telling me to wait. It gave me a perspective to what my kids hear me say all the time & how it may make them feel.

5/13--At breakfast, Allie plugged her nose & said "My nose stinks". I asked what it smelled like & she said "poop". Funny how she thought it was her nose & not her diaper.

4/23--Allie is playing a game on the computer & having lots of fun. She calls to Nicole & says "Nicole, come see. I am very good at this". Funny thing is she is playing it totally wrong & keeps losing. She has amazing confidence & just keeps trying. Good for you, Allie!!

4/12--Allie was singing at the top of her lungs to Brooklyn somehow thinking no one else could hear her since we weren't in the same room. She sang to the tune of "Follow the Prophet", but she changed the words to "Follow the Priesthood". I guess that works, too.

3/25--Nicole informed me while we were out whale watching that "the dolphin is my favorite mammal". I am impressed that she knows the word "mammal", but even more so that she knows a dolphin is a mammal.

3/24--We are at Grammie's house & Jake asked Allie if she was ready for her bath. She told him she didn't want to take a bath with the airplanes on. We were kind of puzzled by her response & then it clicked--Grammie's bathtub is a jetted tub & she didn't want the "jets" on. Airplane-Jet--same thing, right?

3/15--Allie loves to say the prayer for the family. She does a great job & it's fun to hear how she'll phrase her sentences. Here's her latest cute quote..."bless the people in Iraq so they can be safe. Bless our prophet so he can be super safe". How cute she wants our prophet to be "super safe"!! It's like he's a super hero to her--a very important man.

2/23--Allie's primary teacher got released last Sunday, so we had been explaining all week that she wouldn't be her teacher anymore. We were talking about it again, last night, and asked Allie if she knew why her teacher wouldn't be there anymore. She told us "because she is tired of telling us stories". I don't know how that idea got in her head. I don't remember saying anything like that. You never know how a child will interpret something you say.

January 2008--Jake was driving in the car with Allie. He asked her what she needed to do when she got home to get clean. She answered "Get baptized"

January 2008--Brittany has commented several times on how she just hasn't found a best friend at school this year. We would talk to her often about it, but she just never clicked with anyone. We were talking to her about it again one day & she told us that she knew a best friend was important & she wanted to take her time to find a friend that would be a good example to her so that's why she didn't have a best friend yet. I love my deep thinker, Brittany
