I know I've said this before, but....




I wonder who could be under the rug???


Wow! That looks comfy. I'll have to try it some time!!


This was a few hours after I took the rug off him. He slept-walked into another room and decided this spot on the floor would be a little comfier than the rug!


Bretten is such a strange sleeper! Here are some more odd pictures of Bretten sleeping. By the time he grows out of this phase,if he ever does, I think I'm going to have as many pictures of him asleep as I will have of him awake!

We love the ZOO!!!











We were originally planning on going home on Monday, but my sister Cari called and wanted to go to the zoo, so we decided to stay another day. The kids were pretty excited about that. I thought Cari was pretty brave to take her 3 kids all by herself because that is a lot of work in itself, and on top of it, she's 6 months pregnant with twins! She said she had to do it while she still could...lol! What a trooper!!! Danny was great to tag along with us and help us out with all the little munchkins. We were worried it might be a little windy, but it actually ended up being a perfect day to go and the temperature was just right!
We stopped for lunch at Wedny's before we went to the zoo and I ran into my old college roomate Tiffany. It was so random, but great to see her again and see her cute kids. What a fun day!
On Tuesday we were lucky enough to have stop and have lunch with my wonderful friend Lacey. Our kids were due for naps, but we did it anyways and it was great to see her again and chat for a bit. It was super windy that day and the ride home was kinda crazy with all the wind. It wasn't snowing or anything, but since there was snow all through the mountains, it was blowing like crazy and seemed like a blizzard anyways. Jaylee was talking about her cousins the whole way home and kept asking me why we had to leave. I finally told her I'd heard enough and she kept quiet for about 5 minutes and then out of the blue requested that the next time I talk to Cari to please tell her that the house next to us is for sale! I laughed out loud on that one. I can't believe she thinks about those things and picks up on stuff like that. Anyways, it was pretty funny! So Cari, if your up to it, Jaylee would very much like you to move to Vernal into the house next to us...LOL!

Danny's Official Homecoming


Danny and some of his awesome friends!


Danno with the little rascals!


Great Company!


Dan, Mike, and my cousins Scott and Brad


More great company!

Since my brother Danny arrived home over General Conference weekend, he didn't give his official homecoming report until this last Sunday. Jason had to work, so I tried to be brave and went down by myself with my 3 little rascals! We had a lot of fun and it was good to see everybody again. Danny gave an awesome homecoming talk and had us all in tears within the first few minutes. He is an amazing speaker and his talk was so sincere and inspiring. I can tell his testimony has really grown the last few years.
We had a great feast at my Mom and Dad's house afterwards and there was a ton of food and great company. It was fun to visit with all the family that I don't see very often.
Welcome Home Again Dan! We love you and are so proud of you!

Jaylee's Soccer Game


Getting ready for action!


Jaylee and her friend Lily

Jaylee had a soccer game on Saturday and had so much fun. She really enjoys soccer and even though she seemed kinda lost out there on the field, along with all the other 5 year olds, she managed to score a goal. She almost scored another goal when the ball hit her head and then bounced off and barely missed the goal. We were all cheering, but she broke down crying and ran off the field over to me. It was cute, but sad! I just told her how good she was doing and that she almost scored another goal, and then she decided it was okay! Go Jaylee!

My brother Danny has been serving a mission in Tahiti for the past 2 years. We went to the SLC Airport on Thursday to pick him up. It was so fun to see him and be at the airport to await his arrival. I think he has grown another inch, he has a great tan, and a cute accent. He's gonna be in trouble with all the ladies!! :) We are so proud of him and are amazed by his awesome testimony. We went and ate at Cafe Rio after we picked him up. He hadn't had Mexican food for 2 years, so he'd been craving something with some spice. It was fun hearing his stories and being able to visit with him and spend General Conference weekend with him (and our other family). His homecoming will be this coming Sunday in Springville.
