I hope they call Jeanne on a mission...

I am really excited. Yesterday, my younger sister Jeanne finally received her mission call. She will be going to the Texas Dallas Mission. I think she will have tons of fun in Texas. I know she will be a wonderful missionary. We are all very proud of her.

We are doing okay. Brandon continues to work with his therapists and is doing well. Kaitlyn is so cute and watches carefully over Daddy. She also told me that she has a headache like Daddy, so I need to let her go everywhere with Daddy. Ben is getting even longer. We had his four month check-up on Monday. The doctor said he looks great and is a healthy happy baby. Of course, he was being extremely cute talking to the doctor during the appointment. Ben did good while he got his shots, he only cried when they did the shots. As soon as Mommy picked him up he was good. It was Brandon's first time being there for the shots for either of the kids. He did not like watching the nurse do it. He absolutely hates needles. Oh well, that is what brave mommies are for.

Twilight

Last Sunday, while we were at my mom's house for Jeanne's big announcement, Jasmine convinced me to read the Twilight series. On a side note, I am really excited that Jeanne plans to go on a mission and I know she will be amazing. Anyway, it took me a week to read all three books. I loved Twilight, who doesn't enjoy a little vampire love drama. Edward and Bella are both very interesting and engaging characters. New Moon was good, it annoyed me a little in the middle, emotional teenage girls. Eclipse is so far my favorite in the series. I absolutely love the Alice character, she just seems so fun and mischievous. After reading the books, I am now extremely excited for the movie to come out in December. I do not now how I will wait that long. I want to read Host now, and hopefully I will enjoy it as much as Stephenie Meyer's other books.

The kids are doing great. We went to the doctors last week for Kaitlyn's 2 year check-up and Ben's 2 month check-up. Kaitlyn is starting to grow and catch-up to kids her age. Her weight and height are average. She was such a good little trooper when they gave her a shot. She cried for a couple minutes and then when I asked her to be brave for Ben, she stopped crying at once. Ben is a monster and is in the 90th percentile for his height. He weighs almost thirteen pounds now and is getting good at holding his head up. He has started to roll over (he has done it three times on his own), and my doctor said that it is a little early for that, but it is probably because he is so big. He is also starting to smile. Kaitlyn and I love to tickle his feet and see his face light up. Kaitlyn and I call him our handsome boy.

We have just been up to the usual things. We go to the park, play with friends, garden, take walks, read books, and go see airplanes whenever we can. On Saturday, we went to the Ogden Airport to see a B-17. They were letting people pay to ride in it. Kaitlyn loved watching it take off and land so close to us. She also git really excited when she got to touch it, she even had to give it hugs and kisses. It was hard trying to get her to leave, but we all had a great time.
