Little Tiny Baby Boy!

He is tiny like a baby doll.

I met Wyatt Easton Williams today. Let me tell you, he is perfect and beautiful and adorable and cute and handsome. I could go on, but basically all I want to do all day is hold him and tell him how much I love him. It was so great to see him.

Tiny and perfect.

day date

I called: "Can I talk to Chloe?"
Chloe: "Hello?"
"Hi Chloe. Would you like to see a movie with me, then get ice cream?"
"Oh yes, I would really like that."

When I picked her up, she was waiting by the door.

We got icee's and ring pops and whatever else she wanted.

We watched Toy Story 3 and changed seats at least 7 different times.

Pizza, only because she needed some substance after all that sugar!

On our way home to bring ice cream to Sophie, she feel asleep.

I love you Chloe.
You are so adorable.

Happy Father's Day!

Camping.
my fav

We went camping with Grandma and Grandpa for the weekend.

our camp site

Squirrels that basically slept with Taylor,

a hammock in which I took the most wonderful naps on,

and amazing food that everyone basically helped cook for me, mostly dad. :D

pamella couldn't master the hammock

tay and i fell asleep talking in the tent we set up

this picture is the start to a psycho movie

I love tall trees, birds chirping, and a little bit of the woodzy breeze.
Hmm, and then coming home to civilization.

8 months....

And still counting?

this picture makes me laugh. mostly because at the time,
i was laughing

Everyone has asked me what I am going to do about Cody now that he turned Elder Miller. Well. Let me share with everyone. I am going to get some paper, a pen and a few stamps and write him letters. As he is doing with me. And then at the end of 2 years, if our lives haven't taken us to far from where we are today, we will have stayed best friends and told each other everything.

So this is the 8 month mark for Cody and I. We were unsure if you can still count it, but he said yes, and then I agreed. He is so hard to say no to. Want to share a letter with you?
(I don't do this with just anyone.)

Dear Brittany,
.......
It has been 8 months since I first kissed you! I will tell you how it went. There we were watching a movie.
Watching Hailey and Rocky.
Brittany "So Cody whats your best move?"
Cody "Oh look your hand is in my hand."
Movie over, ends.
B "Want to go for a walk?"
Cody "I would love to."
B "I really like you Cody."
Cody "Well I really like you too."
Cody [he drew a picture here] (tries to kiss)
B dodges and hugs. "lets sit down"
Cody "okay."
Cody expresses feelings "You make me happy weather you know it or not."
B "You are the one the I want for the rest of my life."
Cody "You make me happy. That's what I said from the start."
B "There is a bug. Lets go"
Cody "Okay" (tries to kiss again)
B "Wow, are we about to kiss?!!!"
Cody "No I don't know what you are talking about."
Brittany red embarrassed
Cody "No I really do want to kiss you."
[then we kissed]

I think that is how it went. ha ha ha
......
Love, Elder Miller.

Oh that isn't quite how it went, nor is that the exact dialogue. But either way, this letter made me laugh for days. I love you Elder Miller. You are still as charming as ever. My favorite part of this letter is that the story was in between him talking about different investigators. You are such a GREAT missionary!

Happy 8 months. I am thinking about you all day.

Quiet.

everything. everywhere. everybody.

today it is just me and my tunes.

perfect memories.

I love pictures.
They capture a moment in time and preserve it for the future.
It allows you to look back and smile.
And I love to smile.

Avoidance

[this is my favorite picture of Elder Black and I.
I think we look like hippies on the light rail!]

I am a strong believer that, if I just don't deal with it, it will go away. Or, out of sight out of mind. An example, my bank account. I haven't checked it in about 3 months. Why? Because I am afraid to find some serious damage. Therefore, I just don't deal with it. Another example, the dentist. I think I was suppose to get my teeth cleaned in January, but that lady is mean! I mean your teeth are not suppose to hurt and bleed with a like fluoride. She just doesn't like my teeth. Therefore, I get daily calls about my appointment that I have scheduled. See... it will work out, maybe sometime in the future. But for now, I am going to pretend that everything is fine and avoid anything that could look like a problem. My life is so simple.

Girls Camp Prep.

I do not support the idea of girls camp. It is not a good setting. Who thought of taking a camp full of girls and women to the wilderness, leaving them there for a week. Limiting their showers, having them enforce order and making them stay within close quarters at all times. I am not sure why I even have to say this? When you come back, you are messed up! No one should have to stay around the same sex for that long, especially women, it is not natural. This is not to mention all the bugs, dirt and animals they have to fight off. Anyways, I suffered my 5 years at girls camp, and I vow never to return, I am not a big fan.

But my sister and mother were both called as leaders for camp. So this meant we had LOTS of projects to do. Pamella was the camp director for our ward, and my mom was helping the junior staff. It entailed a lot of long nights, paint, hot glue and paper. I have a blister on my thumb, and countless paper cuts. We did all the tye-dyed shirts with their last names on back and first initial on front. Thank goodness I have a cricut, that's all I have to say!

They just left this morning and I am thrilled to have the next week for peace and chilling with my dad. The house was a disaster, but I was more than willing to clean, if it meant quiet time. The night ended with me and my dad at Outback Steak House. It was lovely.

I love girl time.

naps.

Then we let them out in the front with Patrick and Simba.

And they FINALLY got it so the dog was inside and the goat was tied to the door.

Letters from Elder Miller.

I have a few.
;]

I wish I was 4.

Chloe is simply the cutest 4 year old I know.
She colored with her re-mix primary songs and apple juice.
Patrick stayed in the front yard with her.
I heard her talking to him, in goat language.
It was adorable.
