all about Brynn

Nothing new here, but Brynn's girly-ness is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about her.  She loves her high heels so much, loves make-up and lip gloss, loves anything with sequins.

She enjoys her gymnastics class and is so close to getting her back handspring.  She can do it on the trampoline and says that her coach only uses 2 fingers when spotting her.  If she could let go of her fear and go for it, I know she would get it!
Brynn is the first one up on a weekend morning but my hardest to get up and going on a school morning.  Go figure.  She is my child who falls asleep the quickest.

Brynn has never had school lunch.  She always prefers to take a home-packed lunch.  I wouldn't say Brynn is picky-she is just not adventurous enough to try new things all the time.  She likes nutella sandwiches (which Justin doesn't consider a lunch but she won't eat peanut butter so I let her) and pizza or nacho lunchables.  I never used to buy the kids lunchables for their lunches but they are only $1 at Walmart-throw in a gogurt or some applesauce and I'm good with that!  Making lunches in the morning is much easier when it's a lunchable.

Brynn sleeps on her pillow bed every night, unless it is in the wash.  It is by far one of the most-used Christmas gifts around our house!

Brynn is so sweet when we are doing Come, Follow Me lessons or FHE.  She listens really well and dutifully takes notes in her CFM notebook.  She tries so hard to understand what is being taught but she often misses the point just a little.  Her explanations or answers are a little off, but they are so, so sweet and I love her for really giving it her best try.

Brynn is our most random and silly child.  One specific thing that she does to illustrate this...on our street she will unbuckle, roll down the window, and bark like a dog out the window as loud as she can.  She just doesn't care what other people think of her-at least around the people she is most comfortable with.
Despite Brynn being such a girly-girl, her two favorite friends are Corbin Anderson and Austin Larsen.  There are girls from her class that I'm sure she plays with at school but she mostly plays with Corbin and mostly requests to invite Austin over.  She has also played at Jacob Pearson's house and really enjoyed doing that.  It's like she is girly but loves being rough-and-tumble and getting dirty outside.  When I took her for her well-check, the doctor approved of the bruises on her legs because it meant that she was getting lots of good outside play.  I love both these sides of Brynn!

She weighed 38 pounds and was 44.5 inches tall at her doctor's appointment...with shoes on.  Both in the 0 percentile, to no one's surprise.

Brynn loves writing in notebooks and using fun pens.

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right.  Brynn is 18 months old!!  She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books!  She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough.  Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her.  This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket.  She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated.  For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk!  Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Stockton's 16th birthday

Stockton turned 16 on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. We've always told him he has the best day to have a birthday but I don't think he was convinced this year. He was anxious to turn 16 and get his license...it really felt like it took forever to get here. I told Justin that Stockton had to wait so much longer than Molly to get his license and he said, "actually, it took the exact same amount of time", which is factually true, it just felt a lot longer with Molly getting her license September of her sophomore year and Stockton not getting his until after sophomore year, before junior year. But, it did eventually arrive and we did our best to celebrate. We did the family celebration the Sunday before, since it was Girl's Camp that week and Justin, Molly, and Brynn would all be gone on his actual birthday. We had his requested dinner, meatballs, and he opened his presents. He got his favorite treats (nerd clusters, sour patch watermelon, and cow tails) and a new bat th...

all about Stockton

Stockton has loved having his license. He enjoys his independence immensely and does not take it for granted, probably because he had to wait for so long. He takes care of his truck, inside and out. He is always willing to run errands for me or take/pick up his sisters when I need him to. He tries to take back roads whenever he can-good thing you can get most anywhere in Heber on back roads.   This summer his love for cars has really amped up. He said he's always loved cars but he has just been noticing and talking about them more and more. He will point out a "cool car" whenever we are in the car and has a lot of knowledge about all the different features of the different cars. He has a dream car (can't remember which one) but also knows which color he would get in each of the different kinds of sports cars. He has slowly been buying sports car Lego sets with his birthday money, putting them together, and displaying them in his room. It's fun to see how excited h...
