It's been a month since I last posted... that's not like me! So here are some updates on our little family:

Brynlee: Brynlee frequently tells me I'm her "best friend" or that she's "proud of me" (especially when I first wake up). I love it!

She has recently started to like watching Dora & Diego. The other day she told me that the "chinchilla fell in the water." *I didn't even know what a chinchilla was! When I asked her what happened to it, she told me that "Diego save her". Thanks Diego! I have to admit, that "Rescue Pack" song is quite catchy! If you've ever watched Go Diego Go, you know you agree with me!

She also loves to retell stories from books we read. Her two favorites at the moment are "Tiki Rembo" (a.k.a Tiki Tiki Tembo...) and the story of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf.

The other day Bryn asked me if she could lay down on the "bump". I asked her what bump she was talking about. "The bump on mommy's tummy." Nope folks, I'm NOT pregnant... apparently there's just a "bump" there. Love you too, Bryn!

She's just got the funniest little personality. When Brody is taking a nap, Brynlee & I like to watch Mormon Messages or profile videos on Mormon.org. At the end of every single one she says, "that's a great one!" I think I said that once and now she says it every time! She's 100% convinced that the little girl at the beginning of this video is her. She asks to watch it daily.

Oh... and on a less-happy note, she's totally reverted back to diapers. Is that normal? One day she had an accident, the next day 2-3 "accidents", and now she's back in diapers because I felt so bad about getting mad at her. She still goes #2 in the toilet (thank goodness), but that's it. Any suggestions?

Brody: Brody is all boy! He bites, pushes, growls, and pulls hair. But he can also be the most cuddly, loving boy around. He loves to give slobbery, open-mouth kisses!

His favorite song right now is "pat-a-cake". He's pretty solid on "marking it with a B" on his hand. It's adorable!

Brody has also found a new love for Brynlee's boots. He puts them on first thing in the morning and doesn't take them off until I make him. He walks around the house looking at his feet, giggling, and stomping as fast as he can.

Riley & Tarryn: We celebrated our 4th anniversary on September 22nd. It was a perfect day to spend with my best friend! Riley is staying busy with school (currently has a 4.0! Woohoo!) he read this and deleted that. But I noticed and put it back on!, and on the days that Riley is home, I substitute in Gilbert. That's been interesting... but fun??

We're just enjoying life and can't wait for the weather to finally cool off!
