If you build Dylan a tent...

If you build Dylan a tent (we built a tent in our living room)

Then you will have to build him a fire too (he called the flashlight his fire)

If you build him a campfire then you better believe he will ask for some marshmallows

After Dylan eats his marshmallows then he will ask you to tell him a bear story


All the while his little brother will be tagging along

They both had fun in our tent. But it was just hilarious to me how much Dylan got into it. Of course he wouldn't let Cooper do anything... they were "Dylan's" marshmallows and "Dylan" was making the bear sounds. But Cooper doesn't listen either. So he got to join in the fun despite Dylan's efforts to exclude him...lol

Update on Dylan's scrapbook

Parable Of The Princesses

Tonight we had our wards Enrichment Night. I didn't have a clue what it was about but went anyway. Wow... am I glad I did.
It ended up being a fireside type program about Jenny Phillips book called Parable of the Princesses. It was wonderful. I'm not sure my crying time and again was entirely because of the pregnancy... I couldn't help but think of those in my life that have lost their way and then again reevaluating my position in life and asking where my beliefs are.
The book is about three princesses that are sent away from their father and given certain guidelines that will help them stay safe and be able to return to their father once again. So a parable about how we left our Father in Heaven and given the scriptures and other "helps" to help us return to live with Him once again.
It talks of the Atonement and how it is never too late to partake of the gift of Christ.
The people giving the presentation testified of the Atonement and the power of it. The man spoke of the word Remember... This is when I cried the most and realized how important it is to Remember our Heavenly Father, Remember His plan for us, Remember the Atonement and how it is possible to turn back home, Remember to read the scriptures, and Remember that those that are labeled lost are only lost as long as we refuse to look for them.
I just am full of love for my Savior right now. I am glad that I could be reminded that I am a Princess and even though I am not raising any little princesses I still have Princes to remind of the glorious plan of our Father.
I am grateful for missionary work or plainly the work of our Savior and the power to help people come back to our Father again.
So with all this I recommend you check out this book. It comes with a CD of songs that illustrate the point as well. Jenny Phillips is the author of the songs too, as far as I understand.
I just thought I would share these thoughts with you while they were fresh in my head. Hope you enjoy the thoughts.

Check This Out!

Wow! Two post in a row can you believe it. I was talking with Stasha and told her that I wanted to make my blog private but didn't want to exclude anyone that was following (well hoping that I would write some day) my blog because I don't have your email addresses. She suggested that I make a post telling you that I was going to go private and if you want to be invited then please leave me your email address so I can invite you.
Guess what? That is what I am doing. So please send me your addresses with in the next week or two so I can invite you. Oh and by the way I know there are a few that have invited me and I didn't get to it. So could you please invite me again.
I don't really know how it all works and I've erased the email that told me about it. LOL
Yeah so that is that.

Oh we had another baby appt. today. Everything is sounding good. So no worries. We do have another ultrasound tomorrow to hopefully see his lips. Cross your fingers. The last two times he was either playing hide and seek or just being stubborn and we couldn't see what we needed to. But yeah going in to try again tomorrow.

Take care!

NAME NAME NAME... What's in a name?

So we have come up with a few names for our baby to be. But I want you to vote on your favorite or give another suggestion. So check out the sidebar and make a vote.

I really like Graham but I am stuck with his middle name. Does Graham Taylor sound too much like Graham Cracker...lol ? But then I also really like the name Mason Taylor. I think that works well... I just don't know if Mason is the name for him.
See how complicated I make my life...:)

Ultimately, it will be up to us but I just wanted to know what you guys thought. Oh and the reason I want to use Taylor for the middle name is complicated too.
But the long story is... Brett's tradition is to give the first boy his name as a middle name. So we have Kendrick Brett. Well then things went as they did and then as we did and well then Dylan was my first (at least that is how I felt at the time... now I really feel like Kendrick is mine too) so we decided to give him Brett's second name. Therefore, it is Dylan James. Then Cooper became Cooper Cole because I wanted him to have a middle name from one of us and Brett was out. So he got Cole from Nicole. Following me?
So now I want to give this baby boy my maiden name to take on my second name.
However, with all that said what is going to happen for our next baby boy. We don't have any more names. So does all this really matter? NO!!! lol

But that is my pregnant and just plain crazy mind going into over drive!
