Aubrilynns' October

My October was filled with adventures. Once when we went for a walk outside I saw this... HUGE lake that I immediately ran to and jumped in! It was so much better than all the little puddles on the sidewalk that mommy lets me jump in.



I played and played while mommy and daddy watched and laughed. They finally convinced me to come inside for a bath and promised to give me an ice cube!!! I love ice cubes! :D

In my October we also went to the park and Kaysia went swinging for the first time and I got to climb, swing, slide, run, explore and swing around like a monkey! It was great!





In my October mommy and Daddy took me to a place with pumpkins, animals, tunnels and this yellow pokey stuff. It was fun. I explored everywhere. They wanted me to pick a pumpkin to decorate it, but there was too much to explore. So they said we'd take it home and carve it later.

There is a lot of eating yummy treats in my October, ice cream walks, laughing and giggling with Kaysia... I love her. We get to attack daddy all the time and he still tosses me up and we count together! I love it!





That's a few of the things I've done in my October! Gramma is making me a costume for Halloween. I get to be Pebbles! Still lots of exciting stuff going on!
Oh! Mommy says I will have a cousin any day now!!! Still waiting for baby Alysha Brewer to come out!!!

Birthday Wish

Today is in remembrance of My Mother~
Once again her Birthday comes and goes with memories of her found in photographs and memories of the mind. And all that I can help wishing is that I had just a little more time with her, to get to know her... If only I was a little older, if only I had known and could have realized, if only....
There are several wishful thoughts that could go trough my mind over and over~ but comfort truly does come through the knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I will have the opportunity to see her again. I can have the opportunity to live with her again if I am but faithful. She was an incredible example, this I do know and remember. The reason I can remember it so vividly is because she had that radiance about her, you could feel it in her presence and when you looked into her eyes. She lived the Gospel of Christ. She also left a special gift for me behind through her journals. She kept her journals through her college and mission years- this is how I was able to get to know my mother and who she was. Being young its so hard to see past yourself and events that are going on in your life. I am thankful for the opportunity I have to read those journal entries to get to know my mother, since time was cut so short for us. I can hardly believe its been 12 years since her passing. My heart aches often at the thought that my girls can never meet her in this life and that I can never call her with my questions, concerns, worries, and excitements, let alone just to talk.
~Yeah, its a hard day... But I love her, miss her and am thankful for the journal entries and will forever hold them close to my heart. She was incredible and left an amazing example of what it means to be Christlike, with her time here on the earth. I smile at the thought of knowing she is finally reunited with her own mother and father, along with her amazing brother (Clair) and sister (Carol). (Whom were also incredible people with an amazing spirit about them too.)
Anyway~ Happy Birthday to My dear Mother~ You are greatly missed by many, With Love

Life as we know it

What's been going on...
Wow, well we survived the head cold in 100* weather~ which doesn't make sense to me! Besides, who wants soup in that type of weather :) not I!!! And how is it allowed for mothers to be sick while everyone else is sick! They're too busy caring for everyone else and keeping things running that they don't have time to recover! So even though I was 'out' for 2 days, I was somehow still going. I credit the strength I had as a true blessing from the Lord, because I felt miserable! After I halfway recovered, Mark ended up getting sick too (lucky for him he got to call in for those 2 horrid days and actually got some sleep!!!) okay, I'm done :) you can tell i was flustered cuz my babies were miserable too.

So since then we are doing Much better! We enjoyed conference this past weekend and I love doing FHE now with Aubrilynn! It's still hard cuz she has a short attention span, but she is at least able to interact now! (I use the lessons from the nursery Manuel so she ends up having a double dosage) but repitition is good for them~ right! ;)

Also, within this month my girls are going to get to have a cute cousin addition in our family!!! Nate and Kelsey are expecting their baby girl by the end of the month! I'm so excited!!! And so wish I could be there :( I'm not sure when we'll be able to make it up there for a visit.... But all in due time. One day we still may move back ;)

Otherwise, everything is still the same. I play with the girls and enjoy doing learning activities with Aubrilynn! (she's so cute~ a lil' jabber bug!) mark stays crazy busy, school and work, callings and plays with the girls! His game is supposed to come out at the end of the month... It may be the beginning of Nov., but they're really pushing for Oct. 31.... And of course the weather is changing, cooler for all of us- but while you've been enjoying your summer weather, I've been keeping out of it... But now it's in the blessed 90*s ;) so we are out and soaking up the sun, finally!!!! so we better not move anywhere now so I can finally enjoy this :D playgroups may actually be starting up again now that the weather is nice, such a backwards life, eh!

Anyway, that's all I got for now! The fun stuff and visits are just about to begin!!!! I'm soo excited!!!!

....And yes, it is the middle of the night... I'm telling ya, the sleep schedule for my mind and body is all messed up... Hopefully one day I will be able to recover :)
