My little buddies

Layla will be 3 in 2 weeks! She is such a fun girl to be with. She runs the show and her new thing is to say "just kidding" about her jokes  I'm loving being home with her! Love the girls and being their mama!

Birthday!!

I'm 33! Layla kept arguing with me that she was 3 and I was not 3. I had a pfister birthday dinner the night before and 3 extra meetings the day before besides my 3 hour church meeting. That was 7 hours of church the Sinday before last. I was tired but then I had a good birthday with a regular schedule. We were going to go out to eat but then the little girls started having melt downs, so I cooked dinner and had fun looking at my gifts! I was really spoiled this year!! Thank you!! Then that night, Layla woke up throwing up with diarrhea explosions! That started it. From the rest of the week on, we were in for it. We all got sick. But are better now. I just have some pretty cold sores now to show for it. Nathan and I budgeted at the beginning of the year and it is taking some getting used to. But we need to start paying down this dept! Anyway, here are some of the pictures! 

Happy 7th Birthday Brenna!!!

 Well, she is 7 and missing her front teeth. She loves horses and dogs and all animals really. She can hula hoop across a soccer field and back without dropping it. She loves loves loves to climb anything and everything. She is a smarty pants reader and likes math. She doesn't like to wear anything with buttons. Dallas made her a skirt with a matching doll skirt for her birthday. All the girls had BE (Birthday Envy:)). She wanted strawberries and cucumbers, and vanilla cake cupcakes and pound cake for her birthday, with chicken alfredo for dinner. She does not like oranges. She is going on a horse back ride on Saturday for 2 hours as an activity. Her nickname is Brenna Boo:). She is an early bird, and falls asleep early. I love to hear her sing, and she can sing on key! She has played the piano since she was 3. She always tells me she misses Hawaii and would rather stay home from school everyday. Her teacher has only good things to say about her--wishes she had 30 Brenna's at school. She got new scriptures for her birthday. We gave them to Dallas at 8, but I thought well it would be good if she could read them before she got baptized, and is already to chapter 5 in the Book of Mormon and stayed up late reading last night. She keeps asking me, is that true?!! And I say yes, we believe it to be the word of God. But you have to pray and ask for yourself. I love seeing her curiousness. We love Brenna!! Thanks for all that made her Birthday great!! She loved packages and calls, and visits!!
