Brielle

Brielle is a sweet angel. She is in Kindergarten all day and loves her teacher, but not school. She says it's too much work even though she does really well at it.

Last Sunday she had the sweetest answer in Primary. The teacher wanted the children to finish the phrase, "I am grateful for my Savior because..." Most of the other children said, "because He helps me." Then she choose Brielle and she said, "because He makes my mistakes not bad." I was surprised and touched. We have talked a lot about mistakes and how it's okay to make a mistake and that Jesus can take our mistakes away. She has lots of issues about being perfect and has a hard time dealing with making a mistake. I thought the answer was such a sweet protrayal of a five year old's understanding of the atonement.

Brooke

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Brooke. It was hard to choose, all of them turned out so good. She is still a spunky little girl but her tantrums are getting less and I can actually reason with her a little. She likes dress up, books, coloring, painting, and standing on her step stool and singing at the top of her lungs.

Friendly monkey at the zoo

This Brooke and her friend Natalie at the Phoenix zoo back in January. The babboons would sit right against the glass and the girls loved it.

Brooke and Brielle's pictures

This is a few of them. I will post more later.

Brooke's Birthday

Here is a video of Brooke's second birthday.

Brooke is Crazy

She drives me crazy all the time. I never knew the meaning of terrible twos until now. Today I think she had a temper tantrum about every hour. When I send her to time out she smiles and thinks it's a good time to play tag. Getting upset at her only makes her worse. Laughing seems to work pretty well. When she is grown I think I will either be a saint or insane.






She is cute though.

Finally I post something

I am a major blogger slacker, but here is a post. It's not going to cover everything. I've only got fifteen minutes and then I have to go watch American Idol.

Here are some pictures of Christmas and Brooke's second birthday.
I have some funny videos and I may post those later.
