Right before Christmas, we went downtown to look at the Christmas lights. It was so fun. Brenlee was in heaven and this is one of my favorite pictures. Brenlee's Panda was born!

Brenlee told Santa that she wanted a "pink tractor" for christmas. I'm sure it was very very hard for Santa, but she got one. We woke up at 1:30am christmas morning and Santa had already come before Jake had to work! Brenlee was so funny how excited she was! She kept saying "Santa loves me because he got me this!"

Everytime we took Brenlee to see Santa, she told him she wanted a "pink tractor". We have no idea where she got this, but all we could do was hope that Santa would pull through. Luckily he did! She woke up christmas morning at 2:00 am to not one, but two pink tractors. She was so excited!

Cute things kids say

Brenlee is in that stage that she says really cute things. Here are a few that I want to remember.

A few days ago, she found a baloon that she got when she was BORN. Jake told her where it came from and she came downstairs and said "I got this when I was BORING!"

She learned her Pledge of Allegience in daycare and this is it in her words: I pledge my legence to the fag of the nighted states of america, and to the repub lick for witch it stands, one nay shun under god, indespicable with liverty and just ice for all. But you have to hear her say this it is soooo cute!

See, I already forgot some of the other funny things! I need to write them down more.

Here is a little update: Jake got me and Brenlee a new puppy for Valentine's Day. Her name is Hannah and she is a cute white lab. She is so much fun! We cannot wait to take her camping and hiking this summer. But I forgot how much work puppies are! Yikes! I am taking kind of a break from school right now (only 2 classes) , but I am getting ready to go to RN school in the fall. Jake is going to be starting school next semester too. Brenlee is still LOVING preschool and dance class. Oh that reminds me, she calls her leotard her leed-o-tard! lol! Tomorrow in preschool she is having a Chinese New Year Party. They are making their own Chinese food and learning how to do the dragon dance! She is so excited, but she thinks the dragon is monster.
Well that's all I can think of for now! We miss everyone! I will be back to post pictures soon!

MY SISTER IS MARRIED! She looked so beautiful too! And I have a new brother named Jake! SO now there are two son-inlaws named Jake and my brother Jake! All 3 Jakes lol! Brenlee got to be her little flower girl and she was so cute in her dress! My sister, of course was gorgeous! And the wedding was so perfect!

I haven't been on here for awhile because things got so busy...but here is a little update! I got a job at the clinic right by our house as a nurse and it is soooo fun! I work mon-friday and get weekends and holidays off, so I like it! Brenlee is getting so big! Her favorite words now are "what I do mom?" and "What is THAAAAT?" She also loves to say that I am giving her a headache (I have no idea where that came from! lol) Jake is still loving his computer job, and we are hoping to get to go camping finally this year (this is sooo weird for us- we really haven't been) We did get to go to Bear Lake though with Grandma Darla and Grandpa Charlos (as brenlee calls him) and it was the best trip ever! Thanks guys!
