Where does Jesus Live?

So Braden has decided that he likes to watch movies now. His favorites include Elmo, Finding Nemo, Curious George and Jungle Book. The other night he was having a movie marathon with Uncle Kris (he was tending while I was at the Women's Conference) watching 10-15 minutes of each movie when he saw the castle that shows at the beginning of all Disney movies. Braden blurted out "Temple!" Kris says, "Yes, that is like the temple. Who lives there?" Braden quickly responds, "Jesus!" Later when telling me the story, I turned to Braden and asked, "Where does Jesus live?" He responds, "the temple." What a cute kid. I guess he really is paying attention to both scripture study and his nursery teachers. What a good boy!

my sister

So I just can't say enough about my sister Ashley. She is so wonderful. She is not only gorgeous and intelligent, but funny, inspirational, witty, creative, kind, loving, athletic, oh and of course humble.
He, he, he. (hope you like this, brooke)

braden's gonna have a brother

We went in for our utrasound on Monday. I was so nervous and excited. I am such a planner and just have to be in the know. I have been busy getting rooms cleaned out and consolidating so that I could be ready to decorate a new nursery. All I needed was to know if I was decorating for a girl or another boy. I was convinced that I was going to have a girl. This pregnancy has been so different than with Braden. I guess it goes to show that you can't judge gender based on old wives tales and differences.

come back now

So about five months ago my dad and Heidi decided to buy a house in St. George. At first I though it was cool because we could all go there on vacation together without having to stay in a yucky hotel. Anyway, they moved down there last March to get things settled and decided they liked it so much that they stayed. Now their home up here is for sale and I'm totally bummed. Especially Braden. He loves "Jamma" and "Papa." We were lucky enough to have them come for part of the summer for Abi's baptism and the fourth of July, only to leave us for their

Mediteranian cruise. We did have so much fun with Abi while they were gone. I'm pretty sure that Braden is going through withdrawls. He still shouts in the

morning for Abi to wake up and I have to tell him that Abi is not here anymore. So now they are back in St. George and we are missing them again. At leas I agree with Heidi, we do spend more quality time together when we do go visit or when they come see us, but now we just need the gas prices to go down so we can visit them every week!

     

poor baby

Okay, so we went to the Gateway to do a little shopping. I was looking for maternity clothes with no luck and both Kam and I wanted some new shoes. We went to Famous Footwear because they have their half price sale. Anyway, I was trying on some shoes when Braden starts crying. Kam grabs him to see what's wrong and finds little teeth marks on his hand. Some little boy shopping with his family BIT him. Both Kam and I started making a big deal about it and finally the mom comes over and apologizes. She made her little boy kiss it better and give Braden a hug. Not my idea of a punishment but at least they knew what had happened. Poor baby, getting bullied at the shoe store.
