You never know what a day will bring...

While all the guys were at the Priesthood session, my cute mom had all of us girls over and both grandma's for a little girl time! It was so much fun. First off look how cute she set her table... (she always has a beautiful table setting whenever we are over for dinner!) We used to tease her about it, but now, I want my table to look just like hers it's so fun!



We ate this delicious Cornbread Salad, it was light but very filling, and for dessert we had Chocolate Chip Torte you can find both recipes Right Here
After dinner, my mom had bought everything to do pedicures, we all soaked our feet in peppermint & pomagranat oil, and used pumice stones to get the dry skin off our feet, then we painted each other's toe nails, can you believe grandma is going to be 81 this year and she has never once painted her toe nails!? It was SO much fun for us to pamper her a little!! It was so much fun to spend some time with my favorite girls, thanks mom!! (and as I'm uploading these pics, I just realized there's not a single on of my mom! She'll be glad, but I'll get her on here soon enough!)









Last Thursday Brooklyn was pretty exausted after we had gone swimming and by the time we got home, she was ready for bed. She curled up on the rocking chair and before we knew it she was standing up pulling her blanket up on top of her, she took a nasty fall (our rocker is a glider and it swivles, so she just lost her balance) she is a pretty tough little girl and usually she doesn't cry long at all, but she wouldn't move her arm and kept crying, so we thought we'd better take her in. Turns out she did have a hair line fracture, right above her elbow. She's a lefty and it just had to be her left arm.


They splinted it at the ER and then we took her in the next morning to get it casted. She is adjusting well. She is one tough little cookie! She loves to show off her cast and tell people "look at my pink" (that's what she calls it) she looked at Braxton and said "look Braston, it's so cool." Hopefully she'll only have to have it on for about 3 weeks. You never know what a day will bring!





And here's one more of our little Braxton, he's getting SO big already!! He is such a joy to us!
