Our Update

Hello All,

I didn't realize how long it had been since I had posted, so here is my renewed effort to keep up this blog.

Sadie is doing great. She is playing soccor now and they have a game every saturday. Last week she was playing a group of boys that were a little rough. When she backed down to one of them I pulled her aside at half time and said "Sadie, just cause they are boys doesn't mean that you can't go after the ball. Be tough and go get it!" With renewed self esteem she did just that and as she went to get the ball from a boy on the other team they collided and Sadie came out with a black eye. I should have taken this picture earlier it was very black and puffy, it is starting to heal now but you can still see the damage! She took the hit like a champ! She is also playing the piano and dispite a few tough weeks she wants to stick with it.
Brannon is aproaching two. He is busy, busy busy! He learned a new word today, School. It sounds more like "scoooo" but I was excited, I even caught it on tape.

He is a fun boy!
I was taking some pictures for Grandma Kaye this morning so she could see how much he has grown and this is what happened.

I guess this one means "I'M DONE!!!!!!!"
All in all, things are good here in Gilbert, AZ. We are having beautiful weather and as the school year comes to an end once again Brian and I feel totally blessed! Brian will graduate in May of 2009 with his Bachelors Degree and then on to law school. We don't know where but we are excited. Sarting May 5 Brian will dissapear to study for his LSAT exam and reapear June 17th the day after he takes his LSAT test. So life is busy and we love it that way!!!

Easter Weekend




Well, Easter turned out to be awesome! Brian's Brother Ben, his wife Wendy, their kids Abby and Morgan, and Wendy's sister Kaye came from Utah to see us. We had a BLAST!!! We went to the Easter pageant on the Mesa Temple grounds the first night they came.
My cousins Jermey, his wife Reanna, and their kids Sierra, James, Athena, Joel and our friend Stacy came too. Needless to say we had a big crowd and lots of fun! After the show some of the kids got to have there picture taken with the man who portrays Jesus.
The next day we went to the Pheonix Zoo! It is a huge zoo and I have only been there once , I didn't know my way around so we only got to see a few animals, but the kids had a great time.
I forgot to take pictures at the zoo. Oh, well.

Then on Easter Morning we had a big easter egg hunt with the kids.
We had a great weekend!!
