That's MY diet coke!!

My little Brinley loves soda. She watches Derek and I until we put a soda down and then she pushes a chair over to wherever it is and starts drinking it as fast as she possibly can when we're not looking. Today I walked away to check my emails and here's what I found when I came back. My little girl drinking MY diet coke and watching nick jr. She's breaking 2 rules. 1. don't drink my diet coke 2. under no circumstances is she to have food or drinks in the family room. Little stinker!

our latest

Let's see.....It's been a while since I posted something on my blog. We've had a lot going on. We had a wonderful Christmas. Our most special event was that Addie was baptized on January 2nd. We had all of Derek's family come out for her special day and a nice sized chunk of my family (there's too many and we're all spread out these days :). I always enjoy visiting with Derek's family and to see all my cute little neices and nephews. It was a really fun visit, so thanks to all of you who came out for Addie's baptism!

We also finished basketball for Chandler. What a joke! He hated every minute it, but Derek and I felt he needed to finish up what he started, so we took him kicking and screaming (not really) to his practices and games. The last couple of games we bribed him with money if he'd actually try to make a basket. We are all quite relieved to be done with it. Now we have soccer signups next week. That is what really keeps us busy!

I have two calling in our ward now. I was released in November as Primary President. I didn't even get a week off, and was immediately called back to serve as a primary teacher. I teach the CTR 4 class. It is a large very young, busy group of little 4 year olds. I enjoy being able to interact more one on one with the children. I also am a Bear Leader in our scouting program. That one keeps me busy too. I am looking forward to a few of these boys turning 10!! Derek is still teaching gospel doctrine. I hear from many people he's a great teacher and they enjoy his lessons. I have yet to hear any of them:).

Brinley started Sunbeams this January too. She isn't quite sure what to think. I know she enjoys class time, but sitting in Sharing/Singing time, she often ends up on my lap crying. She's a little attached! She's always been a little weepy when it comes to things like this.

Chandler and Addie have another new piano teacher. Our last one I think quit without letting us know. I'm still waiting for her to call me back. That's ok, our new teacher is a lady in our ward who Chandler and Addie are thinking is pretty cool. She bribes them with candy to practice. I probably would have practiced more if I knew I was getting candy too!

Well, nothing to exciting to report on. We're all healthy and doing well!
