Update.....

Well it's almost June and time for an update...... I added a video just for journaling purposes.  It is a few months old, but I don't want to forget such a big milestone ;)   Bry starts school July 3rd.  He is starting in July because he is doing the MBA program with the Pharmacy program.  He is excited to start, and I am so proud of him!  (sorry that might sound a little silly, but I am).  I am busy doing pictures of course and getting ready to start all the stuff for the PTA next year.  I am in charge of membership, so I need to come up with a bunch of stuff for that.  I am also going to start running and taking a fee zumba class, so hopefully I can not be so chunky dunky anymore and get in some shape!  Kylie is done with school!!!!!  She got an amazing report card with amazing test result from everything!  She got an award for Outstanding academics and citizenship, and I was so proud of her.  She is still in dance, her recital is June 21st.  She then only gets a two week break and then she is back two nights a week for summer technique and tumbling.  She really wants to make the TNT team next year (it is her studios high end team).  She told me the other day how much she loves dance, and I am so happy that she does!  Although her room and shelves are now a little crowded with big bulky trophies :)  She is really looking forward to turning 8 this year and getting baptized.  We have already started planning her birthday party and the baptism.  She is such an example in our family.  She reads Bry's scriptures all through sacrament each week,  and reads on her own every night too.  She even asked for the Bible the other night, because she'd like to read that too!  I could learn a thing or two from her for sure.  I am so happy that she loves the gospel so much!  Ethan has two weeks left of preschool and then he graduates!  He is super excited to start kindergarten.  We went to the orientation, and he can not wait to go to Kylie's school.  We just ordered his new Batman backpack with his name embroidered on it (it was on sale for memorial weekend, so don't think I am bad for getting it a few months early).  He is doing an animal oral report in school tomorrow on his favorite animal............ the dolphin.  I know I was pretty surprised to hear that the dolphin was his favorite animal, Bryan doesn't have him trained as well as Kylie in the Australian animals yet.  I am pretty sure she did hers on the Kangaroo when she did it.  He has started T-ball again, and still really loves it.  His throwing and hitting are awesome.  He likes to be pitched to though, and doesn't want to hit of the T.  His team color is navy blue, so his BYU hat matches perfectly ;)  Ethan just celebrated his 5th birthday last weekend up at my parents cabin.  It was pretty rainy, so we got practice in on our board game skills.  He got the Lego Batcave and a water gun from us.  Bry's parents gave him a Lego superman set.  My parents some clothes and a Star wars lego set. Then he go money from everyone else which he used to buy an iron man lego and a dinosaur lego.  Do you see a theme going on here?  Well, he likes legos just like is Daddy :)  I need my kids to stop growing!  It is making me so mad!  I don't have another one so I need to freeze them in time.  I was thinking about how this summer is 10 years from when Bry and I got engaged.  Ten years went by so fast......... and in another 10 Kylie will be 18!  AHHHH!!!!!!  Life goes by too fast! Hopefully we will get lucky and have a least one more, who knows.  I already have several names picked out just in case, but alas no luck so far.  We are pretty much ready to move on with the dream, but it still breaks my heart at most times.  I really try to just be happy and fine, but we all lose it now and again.  Bry is fine with whatever of course, but I still have the ache in my heart.  I was so positive that another child was the answer to my prayers and fasting.  I am just having a hard time being patient and understanding.  I wish I could see the bigger picture, but I can't.  Maybe I just need to let go, but it is so hard for me to do. Well here is to the beginning of Summer 2012, I hope it's a good one :)

Turning 5!

We will be out of town this weekend, so I am going to wish my Ethan a Happy 5th Birthday now....... just a day early ;)  Happy Birthday little man, stop growing up right now!  I love you to pieces and you bring so much happiness to our family with you fun personality and adventurous spirit!  I've loved you forever and I will love you always.........always and forever my baby you'll be :)  Now..... make a wish.

Happy Mommy Day!

Kylie's Solo- 7 years old 2012

So proud of my baby girl!  She got Queen again last night :)  For her very first year doing a solo she has done AMAZING!  She now has two Queen's (the highest) and one first attendent (2nd place).  I wish you could see her facials, because she is so spunky and so much fun to watch.  I hope she never loses that confidence and personality :)  Sorry, I am just one proud mama ;D

May Update 2012

Can you believe May is already here?  It has snuck up on me this year, maybe due to the craziness April has been.  Bry is counting down the days till school starts, he is ready to get started.  My business is starting to pick up after my winter month lull.  I guess I need to get used to sitting in front of my computer non stop.  Dance competitions have kept us extra busy as of recent too!  Kylie has won a Queen at one competition and a 1st attendant at the second (which had 6 girls in her category, so that was awesome too).  Her teacher told me how proud of her she was, this is Kylie's first year ever competing a solo.  It is fun to watch her, she has a lot of spunk :)  She is counting down the days till the end of school, which is only in 3 weeks basically.  We have a trip to the zoo next week for her field trip, and the last week is full of field day and another field trip :)  Ethan is starting T-ball again in a few weeks and is so excited!  It is the one sport he really latched onto last year.  He will be done with preschool in June, and then off to kindergarten this fall.  We are growing his hair out at the moment so don't judge him too harshly.  It is in that middle stage of craziness :)  The forgive us for the above pictures, we had a plan and it failed, so this is what we go of our family :)  Kind of short, but I'm in a rush......
