HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I loved this Halloween. We are in Ogden with Bren's brother and his family. We were able to go around trick or treating with my cute nieces. I wasn't going to dress up but my sister in law thought otherwise. I am so glad she had a costume for me... it was like I was 12 all over.
We aren't so creative with the Chicka. However, we did buy her shirt at Walmart. It is a skeleton that glows in the dark. She looked dang cute. My family had a cute toddler's costume of Princess Leia (is that how you spell it?), anyways so we had to get a picture of the chicka with the wig on. Cutest thing ever!!!
I do also have to say that she officially rolled over today. She has been almost rolling over for about a week, so I am glad she finally did it. I don't know how often it will be repeated but oh well. However, with the excitement almost came the tears. I almost broke down because she is growing up so fast and I do not want to miss any of it. I am sure all you moms out there can sympathize.
For dinner we made our nieces orange pumpkin pancakes with chocolate chips as the face. We loved it... the boys of course had to make fun of us.

Almost Done!!!

So it has not been fun not having internet. Right now I had to drive around the neighborhood to see what house had wireless without a password so I could get on and use it. So this will be a quick update and hopefully my computer doesn't die half way through.
Life here in Arizona has definitely been hard. Not having any furniture has definitely made being organized a challenge. Our clothes are all over the floor... yeah it drives me crazy. But yes we are almost done. We will be back in Idaho, hopefully, the first week of November. We aren't sure where we will be living, but I think Bren and I have decided that wherever it is we want to attend the 75th ward.
Our little Brielle is growing so much. Just last night we were at Target and a woman asked how old Brielle was. I informed her that she is now three months old. The woman looked somewhat shocked and said that her daughter was 4 months old. Her daughter looked like Brielle did when she was born. My daughter is such a chunker. Anyways she turned three months old and is doing great. She hates tummy time, she would rather stand or sit up. She has found her toes and loves grabbing them. She is such a squealer. She has found her high pitch notes and is trying to go for the ultra super sonic note that only dogs can hear.

Sorry we haven't been able to make a post because we are finally into our own place but, we don't have the internet or cable or any furniture. all we have are our clothes, a tv, our Xbox, and an air mattress. The people's basement that we were staying in had a sewer problem so we had to move. maybe in a couple of weeks we'll actually get a good blog up because bren's internship will be over and we will be back in IDAHO!! I never thought that i would be sooooo happy to be going back to IDAHO.

ER

So I have this unhealthy obsession. When I was about 18 I would watch ER every morning with my dad. This was not a wise choice because I had to get my wisdom teeth out a couple months later. So when I went to get them out my mind raced back to all those ER patients that went in for a minor treatment and ended up dying on the surgical table. So I started balling out the doctor's office. My mom probably thought I was extremely over emotional.
However, that's not the worse part. I am back to my daily dose of ER. It is on every morning for two hours. This is still not a wise choice because with these hormones raging I just sit and watch the episode while crying. I know it's pathetic but I just can't seem to stop.

Loving Life

So here we are in Arizona...sweating our little hearts out. I haven't really felt the blast of the heat because I hardly leave the house. However, even when you step outside just to get to the car you sweat enough for the whole day.

Bren is doing great at his internship. He is loving the experience that he is getting and we are hoping to get another internship for the winter. With this internship he is helping the company switch their software that they are currently using. He has gotten frustrated because he has had to redo his project about four times because they have changed their mind on what they want. However the people that he works with are great. One of the guys actually went to BYU so there is some common ground among them.

I am trying to find my homemaking side. I have never been a homebody. I like to be on the go and doing different things. This mother experience is a new one. I am not use to being at home all day and not working so I am trying to adjust my life. It has been hard and a lot of times I have called Bren crying because I didn't think I could do it. I tell you the hormones get worse after the baby comes. Anyways my projects, while I am down here, to keep myself busy are starting the chicka's scrapbook and keeping her journal up to date.

The chicka is doing great. She is hardly fussy. She has found her fists and loves to see how far they go in her mouth. She also has discovered her tongue. She loves to stick it out and slobber all over the place. Her reflux is back. She throws up constantly. Her outfits are soaking my mid-morning. But that doesn't stop her from being dang cute. When we were in California my cousin Diane took some pictures of her and that is what is posted above.

We are just excited to be down here and to be experiencing something new. However we do miss our family and friends. So hello to everyone that we love, we miss you and hope to play soon.

Patience

Ok so now that we have a blog I am not really sure of what to do or how to work it but I thought I should post something to let you all know that we are doing fine. I am in California right now visiting with my family and loving it. I love having my dad and mom around. Plus it is great seeing how proud they are of being grandparents.

Bren received an internship in Arizona so I will be joining him within the next couple of weeks. He likes it down there. It might not be our first choice of where we would live but he says it is really upkept and there are not a lot of trashy places. He does say that it is too hot.

We are blessing the chicka on August 31 and are way excited. We love having her a part of our lives. She is doing so great. She is starting to focus more on people. She is holding her head up so well and loves to look around. Everyone that sees her says she is so tiny but I just can't help but notice how big she is getting.

Anyways I am sorry for the boring post but I promise to hopefully get some pictures up soon. I can't guarantee there will be writing with them but who knows.

This is the start of a...
