.splish splash.

The other day it was so hot outside so Carli invited Bailey to swim in their jungle pool! Bailey loved it! It was so fun watching her splash in the little pool. She also loves being with her cousins.

She is so funny! I just love this little girl!
Cousin Garret was there playing with Bailey.
Cousin Emery! She is such a cutie!

Cousin Katie! She has got to be the sweetest little thing!

This is Bailey after all the swimming! I really need to get swimming diapers!

.congrats. prom. thank you's.

What a crazy weekend we had! First my sister Becky had a beautiful daughter Callie Eylse Trujillo! We are so excited for her & Steven! Look at all of her dark hair! She is so precious! My mom is a grandma to 4 beautiful baby girls! Isn't she so lucky! My mom went up to Michigan for the week to be with my sister Becky, and had to miss Amy's prom. For the millionth time I bet my mom was wishing she could be two places at once. So I volunteered to go up North & help Amy get ready for her big day...

Amy looked beautiful! It was so funny helping her get ready! Thankfully I had my sister-in-law Chelsea help with Amy's hair! It was gorgeous!

Chelsea is so talented! Amy's hair was beautiful! I loved it!


Amy & JR looked AWESOME! They were so cute! I seriously missed getting dressed up! I can't wait to get Bailey all done up when she is older! Amy seriously looked like she was dressed up to walk down the Red Carpet.

All of Amy's friends were so cute! I was so impressed that all of her friends were modest! I am so glad Amy had a wonderful prom! So I guess to sum this post up I wanted to congratulate my sister on a beautiful baby girl! Tell Amy that she looked like a star on prom night! & Let Chelsea know how much I appreciate her help with Amy's hair! I couldn't of done it without you!

.april 15th... the happiest day of the year.

Like Christmas, I count down the days until April 15th - The end of tax season! Not only does the end of tax season help Brennon not be so stressed out at work, but his job takes everyone and a guest out for dinner that day! I love it! This year we ate at Famous Dave's. There was so much food & it was really good! Brennon asked me not to bring a camera, but I just couldn't help it! Sorry to everyone at Law & Reed!
Laura, Shanell, & Quin eating their yummy food!

Thanks Carli for watching Bailey!

.playgroups & goodbyes.

Bailey & me, Jolene & Katie, Clarissa & Brinley, Brittany & Hallie, Kristyn & Lily


Each month for the past year Bailey & I have been going to playgroups with our friends! We have had fun visiting our friends and just getting out of the house! The past couple of times we have played at the Fiesta Mall! Bailey loves it! This time was the last playgroup for my friend Brittany because she is moving! Brittany is such a wonderful mother, friend, and example! Brittany and I were running buddies for a year and a half! We would wake up 4:30 monday through friday and run 2 miles and bleachers! We were hard core! I will miss our long talks! We are excited for Brittany, Eric, & Hallie, but we will miss them!

.easter pictures.

We had a great Easter! This year Grandma got Bailey the cutest little dress! So Brennon was nice enough to let me pick out a dress to match her. It was fun getting an Easter dress & Brennon was a sport to wear his orange tie! We wanted to get a picture together but after church she was ready for bed and we never got to it! Darn. I love Easter. It is such a special day to remember the life and death of our savior. We watched the Easter Pageant and it just gave me goosebumps to know that he loves all of us. He made the ultimate sacrifice so we may come live with him again! I Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

.my buddy.

Bailey is my little buddy. She is crawling all over the place and follows me everywhere. She gets so excited when she sees me! I feel like I am such a super hero when I am with her. I love spending my days with her.I love exploring outside with her, going to the library, playgroups, and the zoo. She is such a sweetheart and I love her so much. Here is a video of her! She is the funniest little girl! (Sorry about my voice! I sound so weird, & I say Bailey's name in the video and it sounds super creepy! SORRY! I just couldn't help but share what a funny girl we have)
Brennon has been doing good. He is such a hard worker! He continues to work late and come home and stay up even later doing homework and studying for tests. I know he doesn't get to see much of our little buddy, but we appreciate all that he does for us. There are some days that I feel like I am not doing very much. (Playgroups, zoo, shopping! All the fun stuff right!) and Brennon is so sweet. He told me that I am doing so much more than he is, and that taking care of Bailey is the most important job! He is such a wonderful man, husband, and dad.

.and I thought I was doing good on food storage.

For Spring break we went up to Snowflake & Heber to get away from the valley. We had so much fun just relaxing and being with family. The only complaint was that Brennon & I got stuffy noses so we couldn't taste all the yummy food our family made for us. We also went and visited my grandpa Brewer. He is the funnest grandpa in the world. He is very passionate about food storage so I wanted to impress him and tell him that Brennon & I have started our food storage and we went to the cannery and canned 6 cans of wheat. He went on and told us of all the work he has been doing raising chickens, planting and harvesting a garden, and storing 23 tons of wheat! Yeah we didn't believe him so he took us to his metal storage shed and he showed us! You would have to see it to believe it! Each bag weighed 13,000 lbs! WOW! I am more determined than ever to do better on our food storage, not that I would ever get 23 tons of wheat but we will do better!

.Jimmy Eat World Concert.

Us Before the show.


Saturday night Brennon & I finally went to the Jimmy Concert! We really had a blast! It was definitely the highlight of the year. Brennon was nice enough and wear the matching T-shirt. I thought we looked really good, but just a little corny. Brennon took me to Delly's Deli for dinner. It was yummy. Then we went to the show. We were surprised to see so many friends that we knew there. We saw Scott & Keisha (Brennon's friend in High School), an elder in Brennon's Mission, and 3 couples from our ward. It made me realize how cool our ward is. :) The concert was awesome! They are so good live! The only thing I would change is being a foot taller!

Brennon's View

.7 more days.

I am so excited for next week! We are going to the Jimmy Eat World Concert!!! Jimmy Eat World is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Clarity! My favorite song off Clarity is Lucky Denver Mint!I just can't wait! I even have our shirts picked out! So I am in the process of trying to convince Brennon to wear matching shirts. He says it will be corny, but I think it will be so fun! I just can't wait!

.Funny Questions.

So since having Bailey I have had people come up to me and ask me funny questions. A few months ago I was at the check out line at Kohls and a lady was telling me how beautiful Bailey was. She was commenting about Bailey's hair and I said "Oh you should have seen it when she was born." She looked at me all funny and asked, "Are you her mother?" I said yes and she just gave me the most confused and sad look I have ever seen! She said, "Wow it's like a child raising a child." There was so much I wanted to say to her like I am married and I am 22! It's okay if I have a baby! But I was so shocked by her response, I just looked at her...smiled...and walked away. I looked back and she was giving me this look like she wanted to take Bailey away from me!

Just the other day I was working out with my friend and an older man kept talking to Bailey really nice and kept making funny comments to me. He said, "I had a baby when I was about your age, I was about 16 then." I just gave him a confused look and he asked, "How old are you?" I said 22 and he said, "Oh, never mind, you look a lot younger." I guess what sparked this post was today I had another lady stop and ask me if I was Bailey's mother. She said something about how girls are having babies younger and younger. I think I need to wear a tag whenever I go out that says, "I'm 22, and yes...I am her mother!" So I won't get all of these funny looks/questions. I guess to make myself feel better I just wanted everyone to know that Bailey is in good hands! No need to worry!

.Bailey's Crawl.

Bailey is so funny! She got this balloon at a friends birthday party and it is her favorite toy! She is starting to do the army crawl to get herself places. It is so cute to watch. I seriously never thought she would be able to move herself places and now she is all over the place!

.My Belated Birthday.

Well I have been waiting the past few weeks for Brennon to post something special about someone's special day... But he told me today that if I wanted him to post something it would probably be around spring break. Since my birthday was January 20th I thought I would just tell myself Happy Birthday a little late! I am officially 22! I can't believe how time flies. I woke up on my birthday and called my dad to wish him happy birthday too! (I was born on his Birthday) He said, "Oh it's my Birthday? I didn't even know." He is so funny. He forgot to wish me a happy birthday too, but then he called 30 minutes later and told me he realized it was my birthday. I love you dad!
I had a great birthday! For my birthday we got a free burger at Red Robin, the next day went to Rubios for a free meal, and then on my actually birthday we went to Joe's BBQ with TC, Desiree, Lorin, and Kristen. I was really trying to milk my birthday in. I actually tried to get Brennon to let me win once on Wii Tennis, but that didn't work. For my birthday gift I bought some really cute material and sister Clawson helped me (will she pretty much did everything!) make a blanket for Bailey. I have to say sewing takes a lot of work, and it is sooo hard, but we had fun. So many people remembered me! My friend gave me oranges & Cookies, another dropped by soap, Brennon's mom sent me a CD, my mom gave me makeup, and Carli gave me cable antennas because we got rid of our cable! Thanks Carli, that was awesome! & my brother Rusty has been giving everyone nick name shirts for their Birthdays and mine said "Mad Madam Mim"AKA the crazy lady off of Sword and The Stone. I got the Nick name when I was in High School. I cut my hair really short with a bunch of crazy layers, and on top of it my hair dye came out a funny color. I guess I kinda resembled the crazy lady. Thanks for everyone for remembering me on my special day!

.Our Anniversary.

Brennon & I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary last week. We left Bailey with Carli & Justin then we went and ate at Olive Garden. We were going to watch a movie, but it was really weird not having Bailey with us so we just walked around Tempe market place for a bit then we called our night short. We didn't get each other gifts this year because we decided our gift to each other would be to watch Wicked in July. We are looking forward to it! It is so crazy that we have been married for 3 years. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to such a wonderful husband. I love him more each day! He is a wonderful husband & father, and he is my best friend.
Happy Anniversary!
