Busy September

Well September has been a somewhat crazy month. I got a new calling at the beginning of the month, instead of being an assistant to the Primary Presidency I am now a Primary teacher for the 5-6 year olds. We just got a new Presidency and they realized they didnt need an assistant! WOO! My class is great! We have been practicing for the primary program, which is today, for the last 2 weeks and today will be my first official lesson. Wish me luck! Out of all the classes in the primary this one is by far the best!
Our sealing is getting so close...less than 2 weeks away. We have it scheduled still at the Bountiful Temple but for a few days we were seriously considering moving it to Nauvoo. I'm hoping everything works out well.
We just got back from a little vacation on Friday. We went to southern California with Mikey, he had to visit a few people for work and we kinda tagged along. The first few days we stayed right down the street from Disneyland. Since Brigham is a little too young to know what is going on we decided not to pay the $90 a person to go to the park. Maybe in a few years? Wednesday we drove down to Huntington Beach and stayed right on the ocean!! It was heaven! I absolutely love the beach!
They were filming some type of movie or something that night right on the beach, so we might be in a movie! I was so sure Brigham was going to love the beach/ocean just as much as I do so I took him down to the water and put his feet in it...he didnt like it too much! He started screaming and shaking! Poor kid! We then headed to the pier where we had dinner at Ruby's diner, its a 50's themed restaurant and was pretty fun.
The next day we decided to spend a little more time on the beach, it was so beautiful and perfect weather! Again, Brigham didnt like the water :) I'm a mean mom!
We drove back Friday and stopped in Palm Springs so Mikey could do some more business, so he dropped us off at a little shopping center. He thought it was only going to take an hour at the most...well 3 hours later still no Mikey!! It was hot and not many stores to go in to! He finally picked us up at we made the 5 hour drive to PV. Brigham was exhausted and so tired of sitting! I felt so bad for him! We got him a bigger carseat and tried it out on this trip...I really think he would have been a lot worse in his old carseat. He did soo good! Other than sleeping...he moves SO much in his sleep and I am a very light sleeper so it just sucked being in the same room as him for 4 nights!
He is getting so close to crawling! For the last few weeks he gets on his hands and TOES!! I tried it one day and its freakin hard! But while we were in Cali he started to get his knees underneath him and kind of moving his arms and legs and then just face plants :) He better start moving cuz daddy said as soon as he starts walking we get to get a dog! Brigham can't wait!! He LOVES dogs!! Every night we go on walks and see a ton of doggies and he gets soo excited! He knows a few of the dogs and as soon as he sees them he starts kicking his legs and screaming. One of them does the same when she sees him. She loves to lick his feet and hands (scares me half to death) but he loves it. There is also another dog who will not follow her owner if she sees us coming, the owners will either have to wait til she gets to say hi to Brigham or they just carry her along. Its so cute!

Big dude standing up, doesnt last too long but he's trying

Brigham saying dada

Brigham has been saying dada for a while and I just realized we didn't have it on video yet...he has a Spanish accent when he says it! HAHA!

Weird day in Jerome

Yesterday we decided we wanted to make the windy road trip to Jerome, AZ. I had driven there before but hadn't stoppped. It's a little old mining town that is basically built on stilts! We made the trek up there in the afternoon, walked through some shops and realized this is not our cup of tea! There were a bunch of "hippie" type stores, the store I bought my flower for my hair from was extremely weird!! I swear the girl that helped me smelled like Marijuana! She was WAY too happy! HAHA! But we had fun, after walking in a few more shops we headed down to Cottonwood, AZ and had lunch/dinner. Then drove back home the unwindy way.
Brigham is growing up sooo fast! Last night I was getting his bath ready so I put him on our bedroom floor and he just started rolling EVERYWHERE!! He was on a mission to go somewhere. He finally made it over to me in the bathroom and was so proud of himself for making it there. He has been extremely hyper lately...could be all the Mountain Dew I have been giving him? HAHA just kiddin! He has been waking up at 2:30 every morning and just wanting to play! grr! He has also started to say doggy! He just says "da" and then squeels! HAHA!

While Mikey was on his trip in San Francisco we went to Pizza Hut for lunch one day and Brigham was in heaven! They had about 6 T.V.'s all of them playing football! He couldn't keep his eyes off it! Thata boy!

He loves his ice water

hmmm?

My pretty new flower

Sealing date

October 9th will most likely be the big day! I have my temple recommend interviews this week and then will call the Bountiful Temple to see if that day is available. Steve and Joann have to request time off from The First Presidency which will take a couple weeks to find out...they shouldn't have any problems getting the time off. We would love all family and friends to be there who are able to. So once we find out a time we will let you all know.
I seriously think this kid is the cutest thing in the world and I just snap pictures of him all the time! So enjoy!

This is his new thing...

Right after bath time in his new jammies

Got these letters at Kohls for like 5 bucks each! Just hung them up today

New jammies

In your face!!!

Yesterday we got a letter in the mail from the First Presidency...giving us clearance to get sealed!! YAY!! We are soo excited to finally be married "for real" :) Since Mikey's parents are on their mission in Nauvoo and might not be able to leave their mission and come to Utah we might be flying my parents out to Nauvoo and doing it there. Of course if we do that most family members won't be able to be there...so we will let everyone know. We met with the Stake President last Sunday and he mentioned that the temple isn't too far away and Brigham started to bounce on my knee and squeeling! He was sooo excited! It was the cutest thing in the world!

Other news...Brigham is getting his 2nd tooth! BOO!! Mikey got to play golf last week in San Francisco...he played 4 courses in 3 days! My diet is going a lot better I have lost a total of 12 pounds and feel so much better.

Brigham is teething!

Brigham just started to teethe last week...yay! I feel sooo bad for him! There is nothing I can do to help him with the pain. It has finally popped through and started to show so I'm hoping the worst part is over...at least for this tooth :)
He also says da da now and na na! He sings a lot and just blabbers all the time! He rolls all over the place..still no crawling but he gets around. He loves to go under our coffee table and lift it with his legs...

As you can tell my diet isn't going very well...I was doing great until we left for Utah again and its just gone downhill from there! I started it up again today to lose the weight in time to get sealed :)

He definitely loves his daddy!
