THE BIG 5

The beginning of March, Kevin and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. We treated ourselves to a couple nights at Lake Las Vegas...by ourselves. When we got there we discovered that there wasn't much to do. The Hoover Dam was only about 20 minutes away and Lake Mead was practically next door. Since neither of us had ever been there we decided to check it out. On the way we came across a  helicopter ride that we couldn't pass up. It took us over part of Lake Mead. I felt like I was on 'The Bachelor' :). We finally made it to Hoover Dam and now I can check that off my list.                         This is a bridge being built by Hoover Dam. It's crazy to see the men working so high.

Our hotelThis is Kevin killing me at Risk. Of course I didn't get a picture of me killing him the game before.

ANGEL CHILD

SOME REASONS I'M ALMOST INSANE:
These are only some but they all happened within a 24 hour period.

Brynlee...
-cut a hole in ANOTHER pair of pants.
-tore pages out of my scriptures, crinkled even more pages, then threw them in the trash can.
-snapped Kevin's phone in half (fortunately, it's not the one he uses).
-peed on the rug.
-stuffed wet wipes down the vent in her bedroom.
-wrote on her white shirt with black pen.
-counted to 3 then sent me to my room.
-poured cups and cups of water all over my sister's kitchen floor.
-threw an unconsolable fit after leaving her cousin's house.


REASONS WHY I'M NOT INSANE YET:
Brynlee's...
-spirited personality.
-willingness to help me clean, cook and do laundry.
-love of dance...she's very exotic.
-cuteness, she's the cutest girl I've ever seen.
-cute little prayers.
-hugs and kisses and more kisses.

Parenthood is definitely difficult but we love Brynlee very much. Life would be very boring if she wasn't around causing havoc.

GOLD IN VANCOUVER

I just got done watching Evan Lysacek win the gold medal in men's figure skating. It was a tight competition and the USA brought home the gold after two perfect programs. I love the Winter Olympics. Go Evan!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

Kevin and I were able to have a rare date for Valentine's Day. We went to dinner and a movie (creative I know) and it was so great to spend time with him without the distraction of a 3 year old. Thanks Whit for babysitting. Kevin gave me a much needed gift card for a professional massage. I'm so excited to be pampered for a whole hour.


We have early church on Sunday, so on Saturday morning Brynlee and Kevin made me breakfast in bed. Brynlee was so proud of herself for helping Daddy. It was a fun and special Valentine's Day. I'm so grateful for my little family.

PHOTO SHOOT

This morning before we had even gotten dressed, Brynlee wanted me to take pictures of her. These are just a few of her beautiful shots. I don't know where she gets it, Kevin and I both hate getting our pictures taken.
