The Things She Says

I have a couple funny little conversations to post today. The first one is from last night as I was trying to get Brynlee to go to bed.
Bryn-"Mom I really, really need to eat. I'm so hungry!"
This happens every night when she gets in bed, I'm trying to break the habit, so I tell her too bad she'll have to wait until breakfast. I remind her about all the food she ate for dinner and that she just had a bed time snack 10 minutes ago right before she brushed her teeth. I finish tucking her in and walk out of the room with her still protesting and pleading to eat. Half an hour goes by and she is still yelling down stairs, "Mom I'm hungry I just need to eat!" every 5 seconds with no sign of slowing down or giving in. Finally I march back upstairs, ready to make her stop but when I walk into her room she has her most pitiful look on and she says in her most convincing voice, "Mom I'm so hungry I just need to eat, my body is breaking." How do you say no to that? I gave in. She had some milk and half a cracker and happily reported, "I feel much better my body isn't breaked anymore."

This one was as we were getting in the car this morning.
Me-"Brynlee look at that squirrel."
Bryn-"Ahhh it's so cute. Can we catch it in a bottle and take it home?!"
Me-"Squirrels are too big to live in a bottle."
Bryn-"It's okay, we can just put it in a bottle for a little while to see how it dances. Then I will let it with its family."

This is a moose hunt that Brady went on with his friend Cody.

I Wanna Be A Cowboy!

Doesn't he look so mature with a goatee?! He just needs a little cowboy hat. I was feeding him some chocolate pudding that he was loving is so much he kept sucking his top lip in. His mustache was so hilarious I ran upstairs to grab the camera, when I got back it had already grow into a goatee! Kids really do grow up in the blink of an eye!

Happy B-day Brady!

Happy 30th Birthday Brady! I couldn't get a picture with all the candles lit, the glare was too bright. Just kidding, I was making a video and forgot to take pictures. We had such a great time celebrating...my favorite part of the day was watching Brady and Brynlee dance together to a Brad Pasley song "like cowgirls" as Brynlee described it. I love you Brady!

Sturgeon Fishing

Since we've been living in Idaho Brady has been finding all kinds of new fishing to do...sturgeon fishing is now a definite favorite. This weekend he and a couple friends were able to go out and catch a few of these prehistoric monsters!

Brynlee Starts School

Brynlee was and still is so excited about joy school...on her first day she asked me about 6o times if it was time to go yet. When is was finally time we went to the car, and when I started buckling her in her car seat she started to protest saying, "Mom! Thought I was supposed to ride the bus!!" I explained that the bus was for the really big kids whose school is far away. I told her I would be dropping her off at joy school. As soon as we pulled into Bailey's driveway she started saying, "Bye Mom, Thanks for dropping me off!" As I was getting her out of her seat she said, "You get back in the car mom." Talk about independent! Luckily she still let me walk her up to the door. She had so much fun now she wants everyday to be a joy school day.
