Princess Carolynn's

Okay, so those of you who know us, or who know Carolynn may have heard this story. I'm going to make it short. Carolynn was helping my mom plant flowers in her garden around the pond in Wyoming. Carolynn said she tripped, mom said she sprinkled heavily...whichever way it went, my mom has extra Johnny Jump-ups that she has removed for years around the flower garden. They have become known as "Princess Carolynn's". We have teased her about them for years, and it's because we love her...(I don't want you to get the wrong idea) we truly love Aunt Carolynn.

Well we have been re-doing Grandma's flower garden. It is coming along nicely, if I do say so myself. Brylee has had several of Aunt Carolynn's traits starting to manifest themselves over the last few months....let me just tell you of a few. She loves the rain, she loves dancing, standing, and singing in it. She loves a big fat mud puddle, you can honestly see Carolynn in her face as she contemplates whether or not she is going to be in trouble for jumping right in the middle of it. She loves dirt, independence, and helping anyway she can. We were in the garden for FHE on Monday night and she was helping me plant some Johnny Jump-ups....well....the first few holes went really well; then I don't know if her ADD kicked in or if I was going slow, but let's just say I told her she was just like her Aunt Carolynn. She looked at me, slyly smiled, now we are going to be the proud owners of "Princess Carolynn's" in our flower garden as well; in the exact pattern as the originals to boot. :o) I don't know where they are going to show up or if some of them even made it into the holes. However, I got a good laugh and it reminded me why I just love to have Carolynn around. She is a positive influence in my children's lives and I am so thankful for her. I will post a picture as soon as the "Princess Carolynn's" start poking through the soil.

Something New

Okay, so we are going to try this and see how it goes. Hopefully I can update more often than Char. :) ha ha. I have decided that it amazes me how time flies. I can't believe that it is almost May. Brylee will turn three this year, Eric graduates from 6th grade, turns 12, and goes into Jr. High, Bryan and I will have been married 5 years this year, and Jace will be one in August.

Jace is already trying to walk and he just turned 8 months old. Brylee is "my patience" as Jason calls her. I swear her ears are painted on most days and listening is just optional if you ask her. She is stubborn and has a mind of her own. I have no idea where she gets that from. She was helping Uncle Jason clean his truck today and she came in with a black face and black hands. She had put her hand up Jason's new tail pipe and was covered in diesel. She is miss boss.....just ask her. :)

All in all, life is good. Hopefully this will allow me to document our lives and keep you up to date on what is going on.

Here's to blogging.
