4 Things I adore about my Husband?
1.how he makes me laugh!! Brian has the best sense of humor. I have to say that that is one of the first things that attracted me to him was how funny he was. A day never goes by that he doesn't make me laugh. Some might not always get his humor and that makes it that much funnier to me. Sometime I think he might just be funnier then me....!=)
2.The way he plays with the girls. Sometimes he can be just another kid. I love watching him do "girl things". He doesn't really have a choice, but he loves it. The girls are constantly wanting dad to play. I love hearing their squeals because daddy is tickling them. He's such a good dad!
3.how he finds time to do everything. Brian is a very hard worker. Now that he's gone back to school I've realized it a little more of what a hard worker he is. From putting all that time into his lessons, to staying up til the wee hours of the morning studying, just to wake up an hour or two later to hold a crying baby, church callings and of course finding the time to spend with us. And he never complains!
4.his knowledge of the gospel.That might sound funny, but I love it. Brian knows everything when it comes to the gospel(at least I think he does!). Of course he studies it for a living, and he absolutely loves it. But I am amazed at all he knows. I think he is absolutely the best!!

The Latest

Things have been kind of busy with a new baby and school starting, so I haven't had much time to blog. So here are some recent pics of the kids and happenings around our place.

This is one of two watermelons we grew in our garden. They were so good! We were pretty proud of ourselves, since watermelons are pretty hard to grow down here in Delta.

And this is our big pumpkin! It was growing so good, but something came along and killed all of our pumpkins. We were pretty bumed. It would of gotten even bigger. I love having a garden. Since I've had the baby though it doesn't look very pretty. The weeds are bigger then the plants. Next year will be better.

Aaron is getting so big. I've tried to enjoy the baby stage as much as I can. The girls are getting so old and it goes by so fast, so with him I'm trying to enjoy the time we are in. I'm in no hurry for him to grow up.

He is such a good baby. He is starting to smile. Especially when Quinc is around. He loves his big sister.

I had to post this picture because he looks so fat. It helps that his clothes are to big and it looks like he has a double chin. My kids are so scrawny, hopefully he'll be a little bigger then the girls were.

Cait likes to read(pretend anyway) while she eats. She is so funny. She really likes to watch Annie and she calls me "mommy Hannigan". I'm really not that mean, at least I don't think I am!!
Quinc and here little burrito. She is such a big helper with Aaron.

This is how we spent Labor Day. Doing pretty much nothing. Bri built a tent out of blankets for the girls, he and Quinc went on a bike ride and then she helped mow the lawn. She loves being with her daddy! We had a nice lazy day.

First Day of School

Well today was Quincee's first day of Kindergarten. I can't believe she is old enough to go to school. She was a little nervous this morning, but that went away as soon as she walked into her class. She had so much fun and can't wait for tomorrow.

She looked so big walking into school. I tired real hard not to cry. Quincee told me that if I got sad and missed her I could just call the school and she would come home. That made me feel a lot better!!

Cait's not quit sure what to do with out her big sis around. It sure is a lot quieter! But I actually missed the noise. I'm sure I can get use to it though!

Give Paul the Gold!

I'm sitting here watching US Olympian Shawn Johnson competing for the gold medal in woman's balance beam and I couldn't help but share this inspirational gymnastics video. Enjoy!

Sisters

I'm so lucky to have such wonderful sisters. The only problem is that we live too far from each other. I have a sister in Pennsylvania, one in Arizona, and one in Seattle. But I was lucky to have two of them come visit me last week. Shalece (from Penn.) came to visit with her two boys and Britt (from Seattle) surprised us by coming to. It was so fun. Thanks for coming you two! And next time will get Chels here with us. I love you guys!












The cousins had fun playing together. We got all in for a picture except little Brandon. They were so cute.
















Aaron though it was great laying on Aunt Britt's lap in the hot garage while the other kids rode their bikes.

















Here's the newest cougar fan. Can't wait for those football games to start!!

Two Cute Girls

I just had to post this cute pictures of the girls. My mom made these cute red nightgowns for the granddaughters and the girls love wearing them. My dad took this picture and I thought it was so cute I had to share it with everyone.
