.visitors.


Last week I had an e-mail from my childhood friends Brooke and Lindsi. They were wanting to know if they could come up for a visit. They drove up Tuesday afternoon and we had such a nice visit!

These two were my very best friends growing up. We all lived on the same circle and I have the fondest memories of night games, running threw the sprinklers, playing sylvanian families (Lindsi reminded us that she really just like re-arranging their furniture) with these girls. For Christmas one year we even got a different hot looks doll.

They both come from the greatest families. Growing up my parents didn't go to church so every Sunday for years they would take me to church with them so I'd have a ride and also someone to sit with during sacrament. I am so grateful to them for that!

We are all grown up now, married and raising our own families. I usually hear news about through my Mom as our parents all still live next door. We run into each other once in a while. Brooke is moving with her family over seas next month and so we thought we should get together before she leaves.

We also all had new babies this year... Lindsi had her first a little boy named CJ.

Brooke had her second and first little girl, Ava. Her oldest son Austin, is Gage's age.

all three!

And the boys!

The boys played so well together! We visited for over 5 hours and they kept them selves busy and played and played.

Thanks so much for coming up you two!

I took Brynn to the Dr. yesterday. I left feeling a little frustrated because basically I was given a prescription to "see if it works". I guess there is a test they can do for reflux involving having her drink a bottle of die and then going in for a x-ray. No thanks. I've had alot of suggestions thanks to everyone. She had a good day yesterday besides having a few crying bouts. She slept GREAT! 7 hours straight!!! I just want to find something to help her because I can tell she's in pain and I want her to be happy.


Yesterday I also had two of Josh's aunts travel up for a visit. My two sister in laws also came and we all had lunch together at my house. It's so exciting to be able to have company and room for everyone at my house. Thanks also to them for the visit!

I'm so glad you had lots of fun and that Brynn finally had a good night! Don't get too frustrated..they just have to figure out what works best for her. Love you!

How fun Brit! Im glad they were able to come up. The baby's are so cute. Good luck with Brynn I know that between 6 and 12 weeks are always hard for me, my baby's just always seem more upset during that time.I don't know why but that it just how it seems too happen.

I'm glad you got some sleep! That's the hardest adjustment to new babies. My Lincoln screamed for the first year and a half of life and I found that what I ate effected his tummy. Chocolate was a bad one for him. I'd spend lot's of time rubbing his little tummy and that helped. I hope she feels better soon!
