Figuring out how to use the bucket
Such a doll...

It's been a while...
Wow I am terrible at this blogging thing. Brookie is down to only one nap a day now, and that is my only free time. I have been using that free time to read. I am obsessed! The library has been my best friend the past couple of months. I gotta stock up on good books before school starts and I will never be able to read! Some that I recommend are: Spare Change by Aubrey Mace, Hearts in Hiding by Betsy Brannon Green, Twice in a Lifetime by Rachel Ann Nunes (the last in the Ariana series), Deadly Little Secret...found it in the teen fiction can't remember the author...but way good, and any book by Marnie Pehrson--my favorite of hers is Waltzing with the Light.
Anyway...almost a month ago, we had the opportunity to go to Carlsbad, CA with my family. It was a lot of fun. We spent a day a Knotts Berry Farm, and that wore everyone out! We spent a day at Disneyland...that was so fun, but not enough time! My mom had to by Brookie a princess dress, so we settled on this adorable Tinkerbell dress...with shoes and a little flower tiara thingy. (The joys of being the only grandchild!) We spent the rest of the time at the beach, and that was so great! Brookie loved playing in the sand, but she did not like the ice cold water at all. She cried if I even tried to take her near it. Jeff learned how to boogy board and loved that. And I worked on my tan while playing with Brook...it had been 2 years since I had seen the sun so I needed a lot of work hehe. The last night was really rough because Brookie was suffering from molars! She was awake crying the entire night. I finally got her to play for a while and she wore herself out. Then she did it again the next night while we were back at my parents' house. Boy was I glad to get home and get some sleep after that!
In other news...we sold our car, so now we are a one car family. Jeff has decided to go back to school full time at UVU and work part time for his dad. Work has been really slow, so we decided it was time he start moving on with his life. It's going to be really hard with both of us in school, but we know that this is what we need to be doing right now. It will work out somehow!
I'm really sad to see the summer coming to an end. It is always my favorite time of year...sunshing just makes me happy! And Brookie and I have been having lots of fun. She is starting to like the pool better, and she loves to play outside. She runs up and down the hill nonstop, which makes me nervous so I have to follow her closely hehe. And she loves to climb the chairs out on our deck or swing in the hammock. She is very active. School starts in 2 weeks for Jeff and 2 1/2 weeks for me. I am excited and terrified for it all!
