Thank you Saratoga Springs-Brigham Ricks Fan Club

Brigham was super excited to get mail from a fan club. He is not mad in this picture, this is just his new big smile. For the life of me I can't get him to actually look happy with his big smile. He loves his new trucks. Any additions to his slim collection is appreciated, the poor kid still has to play dress up in girl clothes and play with Barbies. He has recently embraced Buzz and Woody which still incorporate well with playing with the girls and Barbies.

Every Body Dance Now

We had just finished watching Evan Almighty and the kids had to dance. Please ignore my commentary and giggles in the back ground. I could not help myself.

Kicked Out.....of Primary

Haylee has officially become one of the naughty Sunbeams in Primary. On Sunday she got kicked out of class along with 3 other friends because they were being so naughty. I feel better that one of the girls was the Primary Presiden'ts daughter but still this is not good. I now get to be the Mom that stands in the back of the room giving evil looks at her every time she makes a bad move. Someone remind me why I go to church. I barely survive sacrament meeting only to drag Brigham to nursery. Once I pry him off my body I sneak out and then listen to him scream and cry as I cower in the hallway. I then make my way to Primary where I tell the girls to be good (yea right) and then I go to Sunday school and try to keep Scott out of the treats that I packed for the kids. Relief Society finally comes along and it never fails that I get called out for one of the kids. Oh the joys!

Brigham humors me as I make him answer questions and perform faces.

Brigham Turns Two

Here are some pics from Brigham's birthday celebration. His real birthday is the 23rd but since Scott was going to be out of town, we celebrated a few days early. Michelle, Jeremy & Brock gave him the dart gun and he has an evil laugh anytime he aims to shoot. He can hardly shoot it he laughs so hard. I tried to read a few stories out of the Disney book from Grandma and Grandpa and he talks over me telling me about the pictures. He also got a very handsome tie so he can be like the big boys at church. He had a blast! Thanks to everyone who came an supported him on his big day.

Princess Pals

Life at our house is usually a zoo with only two girls. Imagine adding three more to the mix. I babysat Whitney and Michelle one night and of course the neighbor Kailey was over as well. From left to right you see: Haylee, Kailey, Ashtyn and Whitney.

Winter???What about Fall?

I have dreaded this day for a long time. I have even been complaining about all the rain (even though I know we are in a drought), but why can't there be a Halloween with no snow?

How are girls supposed to parade around in cute little ballerina costumes with it is zero degrees outside? One of the chores on my list for Scott this Saturday was to mow the lawn. . . I guess he got out of that one without even having to argue. I must admit it was fun to see the kids have such a great time. (Kliss, the house you see across the street has the same weed issues, maybe they are related!)
