How Time is Flying!

Yes, this summer is going by "speedy quick", as Junie B. Jones would say. Ok, so not everyone has a 6 year old so I will enlighten you - Junie B. is a character is these chapter books that Brenna and I love to read. She is a very witty and funny 1st grader and her books are VERY cute. Think Judy Blume with a little sarcastic twist...

Anyways! It's been a while since I last posted. Nothing really life-changing has happened. Just going through our day-to-day stuff. This past weekend WAS pretty eventful though. Almost my entire family on my Dad's side was down for the holiday weekend. For those who don't realize what a big deal that is -- my family on that side is HUGE and it is a pretty rare thing for all of us to get together. My Grandma had six children and only about every three years or so they are all in one spot, at one time. You can imagine all the pictures that are taken. haha!

We had such a great time and spent all weekend at Arroyo City and ate sooo much good food! Brenna was an absolute DOLL and was so good and so polite and really kept everyone entertained - especially the teenagers (all my teenage cousins brought friends and boyfriends/girlfriends). They just adored her and thought she was the coolest little kid they ever met. LOL :) It was pretty darn cute the way they hung out with her (and especially the way she fit in!!). My cousin even made a comment and said that she thought it was really neat that Brenna could hang out with all the "adults" and fit in so well and make such great conversation.

She was a great help too and took it upon herself to go around and pick up everyone's dirty plates after dinner one night. My Grandpa asked her if she was working for tips and she just smiled and said, "No Papa, I'm just trying to be a good person." Everyone 'ooo-ed' and 'ahhh-ed' and thought she was so cute. Yes, I was a very proud Mama. :) We did get a couple pictures - first one is of Brenna and me at dinner one night. Second is of of a rainbow that we were blessed to see after it rained (Brenna took the picture of it - it was quite spectacular and the only time that Brenna remembers seeing a rainbow).

So since Brenna is finished with her swimming lessons Brendon and I got a membership to the Elk's Lodge and we now have a pool pass. Too bad it's been raining for five straight days!!!!! So yes, we need the rain (BADLY!) but poor Brenna just wants to go swimming! Hopefully the skies will clear and little Miss Brenna will be able to show off her swimming skills soon. :) I try to remember my camera and get some pictures to post.
