THE PAST MONTH

I'm finally getting it done! Posting my pictures from the last month! I know there will be lots of things left out, thanks to my pregnancy brain and forgetting my camera when we went places, but here's a rundown of things that have happened.

Brynlee put the dogs to sleep. She is getting GREAT at bossing them around.

Brynlee is also completely and totally potty trained. She hasn't worn a pull up since our Albuquerque trip, and hasn't worn one at night since then either, and amazingl has never had an accident in bed at night either. We have now put away her little potty, because as you can see, she just started using as a chair to play on. (Notice the washcloths all stacked up from big to small, she is really big into doing things in an organized way)

We did some Spring Cleaning and washed all the walls, Brynlee was actually super excited about it and Begged to help.

Brynlee painted a Masterpiece, while Austin painted the wall separating the dining room and kitchen back to a neutral color to help in the selling of our house, if we ever get around to that.

We put new thresholds in our house to help the fat that our carpet has been peeling up at the edges, until we can one day afford new, decent carpet. Or just to make it look nice to sell. Brynlee helped hammer in all the nails and do the measuring. She LOVES to help daddy do everything. Including scoop dog poop. I think we are raising a tom boy.

We replaced Brynlee's froggy too!! This time with a normal looking, green frog. And so far, it's managed to stay alive and is alot less wierd than the other one. SHe enjoys trying to find where he is hiding.

We bought a La-z-boy to have for the baby, and Austin used the box to make Brynlee a fort.

She hated it, can't ya tell??? We let it stay for about 2 weeks. She was pretty sad when we cut it up and threw it out.

Of course, she loves to paint, so we got her an egg to paint for easter.

And of course, we roped daddy into it too. He always appreciates it!

 

My best friend and new Step-sister Rachel came for a visit! For some wierd reason I have no pictures of her, but we went to the zoo with her and had lots of fun. I've decided she needs to move here. Austin thinks so too, he said he noticed a great improvement in my mood while she was around. At the zoo,, Brynlee insisted on sitting on every animal statue.

Everytime it is sunny, we have taken lots of walks to the park Brynlee loves her backpack, I don't know what we would do without it.

This most recent weekend we went to Burley and Brynlee got to go ski. We also went to blackfoot, but once again, I forgot my camera and have nothing from that. we did get to meet Gentry though, and play with Coraline. They are both super adorable, and Brynlee really likes Coraline.

Also in Burley, Bryn got to go pet baby goats...AND....RIDE A HORSE!!! oh boy, did that make her happy. She was so excited. As soon as she saw the horse come out, she was done with the goats and went and stood not so patiently by the horse so she could catch a ride.

Kite Flying. Not good when it's TOO windy outside.

Also not goo when your two Akitas are way more interested in the kite than your child.

And that's it! Well, the parts I can remember and have pictures of. And now we are on the baby countdown. Hoping for only 24 more days!!! Austin and I are both ready for me to not be pregnant anymore, the lsat few weeks have been incredibly UNENJOYABLE, and the past couple days even worse. Plus the number on the scale is just bringing new tears every day. 24 more days.  I just have to keep thinking, only 24 more days. But at the same time, having another baby is super frightening, so I haven't decided which is worse yet.
