What I should do more often...

"Christlike communications will help us to develop righteous relationships and ultimately to return to our heavenly home safely. May we treasure the divine gift of communication, and may we use it wisely to build and to assist others on this marvelous journey through mortality. May Heavenly Father bless us to this end."

- L. Lionel Kendrick

It seems that lately I have been saying things without them going through my "you shouldn't say that" filter. I use to be very good at making sure that I only said nice or proper things to people. However, lately it seems as though I say exactly what is on my mind, which obviously isn't the best thing to do. I feel that I have an obligation to help people to understand why things may not be as they are perceiving them,(which I know is terrible) and during this process I hurt feelings. I don't mean to, it just happens. Then once I realize that what I said was hurtful and try to explain, it seems I make things even worse. So I am writing this as a new leaf. I am going to try to be more Christlike and more thoughtful about the things I say. I am going to try to be more understanding and more more willing to listen to those around me.

It Fits!!

So the other night Jason and I were looking through our photo albums and when we were going through our wedding album I got curious. I ran down stairs grabbed my wedding dress and put it on. When I came out Jason had to help me zip it up, but it still fit! It was so fun to put it on again, and I must say that I feel the need to wear it several more times, since it is the most expensive article of clothing I have ever bought. Wouldn't a wedding dress party be fun?? I always think about throwing one so everyone could wear there dress again, but I don't know if people would want to (any input??). Anyways, here it is documented that I still fit into my wedding dress after having a baby. :)

It was nice too because Jason danced with me a little when I was in it. I love those sweet moments with my hubby!

Brooke's 6 month update

Here are some of the fun things that Brooke did this past month. She is now 6 months old, and getting bigger every day. She weighs 16 pounds 8 oz, and she is 26 inches tall. She is still our very active baby. She doesn't like to go to sleep or miss out on anything, she doesn't like any baby food. We have tried lots of veggies and even though I didn't want to give her fruit yet, I tried it out of desperation. She hates it all and shuts her mouth and turns her head with every bite. (If you have any suggestions please let me know.) She is very happy and smiles every chance she gets, and she is the best baby.

Here she is just looking so cute.

She does a really big smile now.I know she is sooo beautiful... brag, brag...This is her cheesy smile that she started to do. It is a fake one that she would do for us because of the reactions we would give to her when she would smile. She hasn't been doing it as often as she use too.Here she is trying to drink from a sippy cup, she does alright with it, but I'm not sure she actually gets anything out.
She like to sleep in the corner of her crib like this.
Here was her first miniature golf game.
Brooke's first trip to the beach.
Hanging out with Ashley at the beach.

Her favorite part of the beach was talking as loud as she possible could, to anyone who would listen.

She liked the water but not the waves.

Playing with her buddy Parker.
Visiting Grandma in Oceanside. We had such a great time, and Brooke loved getting to hang out with Grandpa, Grandma, and Max (the dog).

Meeting Grandpa Postl for the first time. I love the look on both of there faces in this picture.


Brooke loves to eat Jason's face. Mostly his nose and hair.
MMMMM...
