I wanna sweep in da big gir bed!!!
Preslee was sad that she was put in her crib tonight. Her and Payge wanted to sleep together on "da big gir bed." I'm starting to wonder if they will be sleeping in their cribs till their 12. I can't seem to figure out a sleeping situation that works for them, but they are so sad when they have to sleep in their cribs. If anyone has any ideas...I'm open for suggestions. Good night Preslee:(
...And the RACE is ON!!!
A Few weeks ago the girls cousin Kaylee came down to visit them for the weekend. While she was here, she was reading the book, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. For some reason this sparked Brilynn's interest and she asked me to get these books for her to read. I was glad that she was excited to read these books because she is pretty picky about what she likes to read. She does her 20-30 minutes of reading each day that she is supposed to do, but she isn't one that just picks up a book and reads for pure pleasure. I put the books on hold at the Library and yesterday we went to pick them up. On the way home, Brilynn and Maycie started reading them. The next thing I new, they were having a competition to see who could read the books the fastest. They serisouly haven't put them down since. Tonight as I went in to say prayers with them they were already reading and I heard Maycie say, "Brilynn will you read a little slower tonight since you are older than me?" I was a little worried about Maycie being able to read these books, but she is able to tell me what is going on when I ask her about it, so I figured it couldn't hurt since she was comprehending what she was reading. The funny thing is that Maycie, who's in kindergarten, is very competitive and it is driving her nuts that she can't read as fast as her sister who's in 3rd grade. However, I'm not complaining because we are off track for 3 weeks and so far I haven't even had to ask them to read which is not the usual. Now I just need to find more books that they can continue to read together.

St. Patty's
Last week we had stake conferance at the Ogden Tabernacle. On the way home I saw a few old buildings that caught my eye and wanted to snap a few pics. We were all hungry and the smell of Great Harvest Bread was killing us. I think I will return to this place when it is not a Sundayso that we can get some bread and hopefully the kids will be more cooperative:) For now though...this will do.
