Woodland Creature

A week or so ago I opened the door to let Winston back inside only to find he was completely UNinterested. I went outside and that's when I noticed he was ~~running~~ frolicking more than usual. Upon further investigation I found he was chasing a bunny! Not just any bunny, the ONE thing that is better than a bunny...what is the ONE thing better than a bunny, you ask?? A BABY BUNNY! It was so tiny! Hopefully you can see the size somewhat based on the comparison to Winston (I would compare his size to my iPhone).

He had no desire to hurt the little guy-he was just excited to have a new friend. Brent and I had a good time offering commentary for the interaction, but I'll spare you that conversation. You're welcome.

At one point, it was cornered by the fence so I HAD to pet it. I was very tempted to pick it up, but I resisted. If I get the chance again...we may have a pet bunny. When Brynlynn gets older we may have one anyway...one that I found thanks to the pet store.

We saw him a few more times, but it's been a few days now. I hope that he comes back to visit. I mentioned to my sister maybe I should go outside and sing or something...seems to work for the Disney Princesses. I hope the little guy is ok. I also hope he doesn't confuse our yard with the neighbors...they have 2 rather large dogs and are not likely to be as hospitable as Winstie.

Mothers and Daughters

Just a warning, I am standing on my 'soapbox', so turn back now if you don't want to hear my rant of the day. I have strong opinions, so read at your own risk. :) I just watched this video, Mothers and Daughters , and had to share it. I watched a very disturbing episode of Oprah yesterday (the DVR recorded another episode for some reason). I won't go in to details, but despite all of the discussion I was very upset and surprised by the actions of the mother. She was basically the opposite of what a mother should reflect. She offered no love, support, encouragement and in this particular situation protection for any of her children. I particularly like how Elder Ballard mentions what expectations we as women are presented with today. Pointing out how, women are often made to look silly, and objectified. Our roles, that we are divinely given, are continually undermined . Women seek guidance on how we should look, what we should wear etc. from people that really do

What's Fabric?

David's Bridal Highly Educated & Well Informed Employee: Thank you for calling DB. How can I help you? Me: Hi, yes I'm trying to order several yards of fabric. DBHE&WIE: I'm sorry, what? I don't understand you? Me: I'm trying to order some fabric. DBHE&WIF: order what? Me: Fabric. F-A-B-R-I-C (yes, I spelled it out for her just mistakenly thinking this would in some way make the communicating proces easier). DBHE&WIE: I don't know what that is. Me: (stunned, but I'm used to working with stupid people on the phone...here's my attempt to 'dumb it down') the stuff the clothes are made of--cotton, taffeta..? DBHE&WIE: Oh! Oh, I don't know...let me transfer you to alterations. Long story short: alterations first language was NOT English. She transferred me back... Hung up--called another location. They're going to call me back tomorrow to let me know. ps Tanlee-you owe me.

Be Thankful

It's that time of year again! Time to spend hours cooking/preparing, minutes eating (WAY too much food), all surrounded in the loud, wonderful chaos of family. The food, shopping and preparations can quickly and easily take over and result in overlooking the real meaning of the holiday. Thanksgiving invites us all to reflect on our many blessings and remember to be grateful. As you might expect, the things I am most grateful for are those that you can't buy. This year we welcomed Brynlynn into our home and are SO GRATEFUL for her; that she is here, that she is healthy, that our family is forever. I'm incredibly grateful for my knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm grateful for the countless blessing He has bestowed upon me and my family. I am grateful for Brent; for the man and husband that he is and more importantly the father that he is. I'm so grateful for all of my immediate and extended family...I'm not under any false impression that it'
