Whats Up??

Brooke looking through the baby gate at us, one of her favorite activities.

Singing with the Wii.

She loves to take all the books out of the box a lot more than read any of them.

Bath time ranks as one of her favorites. Thanks for all the fun bath toys Grandma!

Well I have been pretty bad about Blogging lately so here is a catch up of all that we have been doing.

Jason - Jason has been a busy bee at work lately. He is doing great and loves his job, and he amazes me with how well he deals with all the responsibilities he has. Within one month of taking over his building , he took it from the worst month they had ever had to the best month! I could not be anymore proud of him. He is such a perfect husband and I really could not ask for more. Other than work it is really just about us and his calling and the poor guy barely gets the sleep he needs.

Brooke - Brooke is just the cutest girl on the planet! Her little personality is coming out now and everyday she is so much fun to watch and play with. A few new things she is doing are; really funny fake laugh, a weird noise that can't be explained but is hilarious, and her favorite thing to play with is the white cap off the toilet, a sock, or a Wii remote or microphone. She still is a crawling like crazy and really hasn't showed any interest in trying to walk yet. She is a very happy baby and she keeps me very busy.

Natalie - Well let's see my life is basically watching Brooke and cleaning. Sometimes that feels like that's all I do and life seems very mundane at times, however I do love it. We bought our iMac computer and it has been fun finally making all of our video's into DVD's. I have also decided to take up teaching dance again, and although I am not doing it in schools, I have decided to offer free classes to anyone in our ward or stake. I am so excited to start again because I love teaching kids dance and getting to see them learn and accomplish new things, Plus it is totally fun!! We also decided that we needed to move closer to Jason's work so that Brooke and I could see him for the 2 1/2 hour commuting time instead of him driving everyday. However as we looked for homes we really didn't like anything. Well except that we found our perfect house in Walnut, CA. But at a mere $1.3 Million we decided just to stay here for the next few years and suck it up. (Although I am ashamed to admit we actually seriously considered this as an option for about a day and a half! What were we thinking??) I am so happy to stay here, but it is bitter sweet because I really miss my hubby some days and Brooke doesn't get to see him sometimes at all. Thank goodness I know we have the rest of eternity to be with our families, otherwise I don't know if I could do this! Well that is basically all that we have been up to. We love our life and couldn't ask for more. 

I couldn't help but add these cute pics of Brooke from this past week. What can I say, I have a weakness for cute babies......esp. when they are mine:)
