I've been trying to write a new post every Sunday but this Sunday was a little hectic with visiting Jonathan's parents in Salmon. It was fun to see Crystal and her family, we kind of wish they didn't live so far away in Alaska so we could hang out more often. Brandy was there and his parents, it's always fun when family gets together. We got the Grandparents to babysit while we went and watched the Hunger Games... AMAZING! I wont give anything away but there's a part in the movie that makes you jump and I was sitting by my neice Katarina and she about jumped out of her chair so of course that made me jump twice as hard as I would normally. Good thing Jonathan was holding onto my hand or I don't know where I would have ended up. Just kidding, I didn't jump that bad. By the way, Jonathan didn't jump at all... no idea how that's even possible. Any normal person would have jumped.
Tonight we were saying prayers and every night we take turns with Jonathan, me and Emma. Tonight it was Emma's turn so we all knelt down and said, "Guess who's turn it is tonight Emma?" She said, "ummm, daddy's turn!" We said, "Nope, it's your turn." She acted annoyed and held out her hands and said, "NO! I said them last night!" Which she did not. I guess we've said that before and that got us out of saying them for the night so she was trying it.
The other night Jonathan was saying prayers and sometimes his prayers get a little lengthy (they're beautiful prayers, just a little long for a two year old) and half way into the prayer Emma says, "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." So we start to snicker and Jonathan continues on with his prayer and a little bit later Emma tries it again, "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." So we start laughing and Jonathan ended his prayer.
Brooklyn likes to annoy her big sister. If Emma is eating something, Brooklyn wants it. If Emma is playing with something, Brooklyn wants it. If Emma is sitting on something, Brooklyn wants it. So today after being pestered for a bit about something Emma comes and sits by me on the couch and sighs. She shakes her head and says, "Brooklyn is so annoying today." I busted up laughing! Is this really my little two year old?
Love my life!

Happy St. Patty's day! I used to love this day because even if I forgot to wear green, I have green eyes, so nobody could ever pinch me!
Well we had Jonathan's sister, Crystal, and her three kids come down from Alaska to visit this weekend, and his brother stopped in for a bit as well. It was a lot of fun! We were all sitting down to dinner the other night, Emma was at the table with the kids. Harmony and Kenny knocked on the door and came in to visit for a second and Emma stands up in her chair and puts her arms out and yells, "My Friends!" She loves her Aunt Harmony and Uncle Kenny, it's nice having family nearby. Today when we got home from church Crystal and her kids had left and Emma asked, "where are my cousins?" I told her that they had left and she said, "Okay, go get them!!" I tried explaining to her that they were gone and she keeps saying "I need my kids" I think she'll get it eventually. She loved having them here!
Brooklyn has one tooth already and not one or two but THREE other teeth on the way! Poor kid, it's been kind of rough on her too. It'll be so cute when they finally come in though. She'll have her two front bottom teeth and the top teeth that are coming in aren't the two front ones but the ones right next to the front. I have no idea what they are really called, the only teeth I know are molers, canines and your two front teeth. When they come in it'll look like her two front teeth got knocked out, or a vampire. Love it.
So Jonathan and I are released from our callings in church because we are moving across town in 2 weeks. We were kind of excited about it because we thought we could just go to church and relax and not have to worry about everything... however, we still have two little kids. Today was not a good day for them either. We have sacrament last and Emma was acting like she had just eaten sugar for the past two hours in nursery! And Brooklyn had just woke up from a nap and was ready to play. We pretty much had a wrestling match in our little pew for 30 minutes. I think I won.

Brooklyn got her first tooth this week!!! She looks so cute! She's such a sweet and happy little girl.
So Lindsey moved out yesterday and headed to Utah to live with Scott and Shannon. We started moving Brooklyn's stuff into her room and Emma wanted to help. So she helped us push the crib, the rocking chair, ottoman, blankets, and the boppy into the room. Next thing I know Emma goes in her room and tries to pull her bed into Lindsey's room as well. I guess she thought we were all moving in there. She was pretty upset when I told her she couldn't move into Lindsey's old room.
Emma is so stinkin' friendly. The weather has been pretty good lately so we were outside playing in our front yard. Jonathan is such a good dad and Emma loves playing with him, Jonathan and her were kicking the ball back and forth when two girls were walking by on the sidewalk and Emma yells, "HI!" and waves. The girl's said "Hi" and smiled. Emma looked at Jonathan and smiled, then she got real serious and said, "Say hi!" Jonathan just started laughing so Emma ran over to him and grabbed his hand and tried to wave it and said, "Hi!". She's determined to make us friendlier as well.
Although Emma might have the friendliness down, her social skills can definitely use some work. Last night we went out to eat at Pizza Hut and as we were leaving there were two legit African's sitting on a bench near the door waiting to be seated. Emma ran out in front of us and when I came around the corner Emma was standing about two feet in front of these guys with her mouth open and just staring at them as if she were in a daze. The guys took it really well. They both started laughing and one of them in his African accent said, "silly kid.... never seen a black man!" I felt bad and smiled apologetically at them. It's a good thing she's only two years old and her innocents can save her now. That's what we get for living in Rexburg Idaho I guess.

I think Brooklyn is going to be a singer. The last week when I've been putting her to bed I sing her some songs. Every time I sing, she hums. When I stop she stops. Then I begin again and she begins to hum. I don't know if she's trying to do a duet with me or drown out my voice so she doesn't have to hear me sing, but I think it's pretty cute.
Emma has been a protector of Brooklyn lately. We go to a play group every Thursday and some of the kids are a little rough. Emma lets things slide usually when kids take away her stuff but when they take stuff away from Brooklyn Emma gets loud. She runs over and takes it back from them and yells at them that Brooklyn is her sister! Then she'll stand right next to Brooklyn for a little while so nobody will touch her or her stuff. I usually don't allow Emma to yell at other little kids and be rough with them, but I can't help but be proud of her for being a good big sister. Then as soon as we get home Emma takes Brooklyn's toys away from her. Go figure.
I love my little girls!
