Friends

Emily and I have been outside more this past 2 weeks. Love that sun. We have discovered that Evelyn (who lives 2 doors down and is a Sunbeam with Emily) and Hannah (not 2 doors down but a nice walk to, and also in Sunbeams with Emily, and BYU fans) are 2 good friends that Emily can play with. We have gotten into a routine. We come home from work/Julee (emily's sitter-whom she absolutley LOVES) and get lunch watch a little Dora and then its friends time. So we walk to one and if they aren't home or can't play then we go to the others to see if they are available. (For reasons of not wanting to hurt either ones moms feelings I won't tell who we go to first) Most times it has worked out and she just LOVES being a big girl and playing with HER friends. She has so much fun with them and that has been so nice for to play with kids that are her age. She LOVES our neighbors, (we love you Turnbows) don't get me wrong, sometimes its just nice to play/hang out with different people. She is also doing so well at dance, she LOVES to shuffle stomp in her tap shoes. That girl definetly has the stomp down. It is so cute to see her dance.

MP 3

The first term of school this last year, Brittany was doing significantly better than last year.(I believe she was on cruise control through Elementary.) So when she ended the term and was on the Honor Roll, I decided to continue motivating her by the usual motivation of 14 yr. olds, new toys. I told her that if she made Honor Roll the rest of the school year that I would get her an MP3 player. Well it has obviously worked and she has almost accomplished her goal. Go Brit
