Baby in Red - Red is my favorite color on her

So we are not professionals, but they look pretty good

This is Mike's brother Phil. He said he wanted to be on our blog and I told him I would put him on. He is leaving for a mission to the Colorado Springs Colorado mission soon and he is going to be an awesome missionary. We are so proud of him. He is going to BYU right now and we love having him and his friends over for dinner and games! Good luck Phil!

I can't think of a title

So I was feeling bad for myself a couple of weeks ago. I was just on Michelle's blog and her son, who is 2.5 months younger than Brielle was laughing. I had had a rough day because Mike had lost his job and I got yet another medical bill. That night I thought Brielle needs to laugh. To my surprise and delight she did. I got the video camera and she giggled for about 3 minutes. I got it all on video and was so excited. When I tried to put in on my blog I somehow messed it up and deleted the video! I was extremely sad. Well tonight Brielle outdid herself. She is the most happy betweeen about 8 and 8:30 at night. Mike was just saying hello, hello to her and she was outright laughing. It was the best sound in the whole world! I hope you enjoy. You just can't help but laugh at this awesome video.

This is the best sound in the whole world!!!

I love being a mom!!

There she is sticking her tongue out again. As you can tell that is one of her favorite things to do.
I love the second picture because I think she looks like a model.


When I went to get Brielle when she woke up after a car ride, this is what I get. Most of the time when she wakes up she starts talking to herself, not crying. In the other picture she is flashing a gang sign. I'm not sure what it means, if anyone knows let me know!



I just want to say how much I love being a mom. I was over at Adina's the other day and she asked me that, "Don't you love being a mom." I said I really do. I was born to be a mom. I remember holding a friend's baby a few years ago when he was asleep and I told her this is what I was meant to do, hold a baby and be a mom. I was holding Brielle today when she was asleep I got an overwhelming feeling of love for this little girl who I love more than I ever thought I could. No matter what life brings, I am a better person because of this beautiful baby girl. There are many days when I wonder how I got so lucky to have her in my life. I am also grateful for a sweet wonderful husband who is an awesome dad. He is the greatest! I am the luckiest person in the world.
