Sorry our blogging has been pretty non existent lately. Does anyone even check our blog anymore?
Here are a few things that have happened in the past 3 and a half months:
1.) New Calling--twice! I moved from Nursery Worker to Primary Secretary to Young Women 2nd Counselor. Woo-whoo!
2.) Trip to So Cal for Grammie's Surprise 80th Birthday and belated celebration of Grandpa Brown's too *along with a fun trip to Knott's Berry Farm, Seaworld, and visits with family! It was so good to see everyone!
3.) Our Backyard got put in and we like it!
4.) Tyler's birthday along with a celebratory ranch trip
5.) Our First trip away from Sarah---Park City ski trip
THE SARAH UPDATE:
Our little sweetie is growing up so fast.
She loves to say daddy, outside, fish, quack, woof woof (while chasing down any dog she sees), shoes, cheese, hi, yes, and her all time favorite word---NO!
She loves to be outside and she loves animals.
She also likes to be silly and make people happy. She will tickle people and say "tickle tickle."
She likes to try to jump and say "ump."
She makes us so happy. We pretty much think she is the cutest girl in the world and recently we were validated by a few strangers. A lady came up to us in Panera and told us that she wanted us to try out this new diaper technology and give her some testimonials if we would be willing to. She said that Sarah was one of the cutest kids she had ever seen and that she sees a LOT of kids. Also, I was in Walmart and a guy came up to me and said that Sarah was so cute and would she be interested in possibly being in a Gerbers commercial. He took my information and said he would be in contact for an audition for her. I took these as huge validations that I do indeed have the cutest little girl in the world! :) but I didn't need them to tell me so....
At Sarah's last doctor's appointment we were advised to get her a kid potty so she could become comfortable around it. She has proceeded to stand in it, take it apart, sit on it with her clothes on, and put her toys in it. haha! Whenever Tyler or I go to the bathroom she says potty and comes running in with us to play on her potty. I am afraid she may have become a little TOO comfortable with her potty, but it makes us smile anyway and she is definitely not scared of it so that's good. Hopefully soon she will be using it too. We sure are ready for that, but it will probably be a little while still...unless she is a child prodigy...which she could be. She is a smart cookie. :)
Sarah also was so cute at hunting for Easter eggs. It was AWESOME. I will put pictures up soon as soon as I download them onto the computer.
Also, congrats to Jason (Tyler's brother) who got his mission call to El Salvador, San Salvador (East I think??). Tyler will be happy to have someone to habla espanol with all the time. Woo-whoo. That will be awesome.
And...lastly, I hope that my brother, John, and sister-in-law, Lisa, are having fun on their foreign adventures. John is in Mozambique teaching AIDS and HIV prevention and Lisa is in Jerusalem on her third study abroad. I am so jealous, but hope they are having tons of fun! Love you guys.
And if you made it to the end of this post---congratulations! You read a short novel. :) Pictures will be coming soon!

Fun post! Thanks. I have been missing reading about your family and what is going on. When I read about John and your sister-in-law, I thought that John got married and I didn't know! Ha ha! :)
Glad things are going well and that Sarah is getting commercial offers already. She may be famous some day!
