Lady bugs first father's day...

Brylee Sue,

today was yours and daddys first fathers day. it was so much fun! we woke up and made daddy breakfast while he read the cute card we made him.



then went to church with gma & gpa clausen where daddy and gpa wore their gifts from you... matching ties with your sweet face printed all over it! everyone loved them. daddy and gpa got lots of compliments. you also played with your friend kaleb green during relief society- you two were so cute!






after church we took a nap and then opened daddys second gift and watched it


then all the cousins came over and we ate yummy ribs that aunt rhonda made and then we played!

 you are so close to walking! you went a few steps all by yourself to get to cousin logan and mommy missed it... you always sit your little buns down when mommy gets the camera you little stink bug :)

after dinner and play time we went to grammy rara and papas house and ate some breakfast for dinner and played with our aunties and uncles and papa opened his gift from you- a mug with you all over it :)

then we went home and played just me you and daddy... thats my favorite time- just us

you made this fathers day so special for me and for daddy. we couldn't have asked for a more amazing daughter we love you so very much

<3

daddy was fast and efficient :) he was a great hunter
you played with brekyn and tara too
after the easter bash we met grammy and papa and uncle jack at the mall where rara was busy buying things to fill up your easter basket
everything is so cute! mommy cant wait to see you in all your cute new clothes 
you are so blessed to have such great grandmas they all love you so much!

lady bugs first bday gift for daddy...

brylee sue,

today is your daddy's birthday! he turned 28 years old!!
we had the BEST day with daddy
first we went to lunch with everyone from the office and grandpa fred came too! 
then we went home and got the house all cleaned up and worked on daddys gift. 
you were the perfect lady all day for mom and dad! we have THE best daughter in the universe, 
i couldnt be a happier mommy :)

money is pretty scarce these days but you and i still wanted to give daddy something special so you and i went on a bike ride with daddy and then came home and had breakfast for dinner... yum!
then daddy watched some sports center and afterwards opened his gifts
we opened daddy his own savings account and put a little money in it so he can save up for a new bike you know, your daddy hasnt had a new bike that i know of, all of his biking stuff has been handed down from different family members, mostly gpa clausen :) daddy has been taught great values and morals from his parents. he knows how to take care of his possessions even if they arent "new" they are still new to him and he takes great care of them and appreciates their value. mommy is so grateful to gma and gpa clausen for showing him the importance of memories that are made instead of the money that was spent.

instead of a card this year we made daddy a little video...

to be posted later :)

my lady bugs first sicky day :( ...

lady bug, 

today, well for the past few days, you haven't been acting like your fun happy self, you have been cutting a tooth and feeling pretty lowsy. mommy feels so bad because there isn't much i can do aside from giving you some baby tylenol, which doesn't seem to be helping too much, and snuggling you (which is my favorite part)


Sunday you woke up with a yucky wet cough and after church just laid around very melancholy. which is very unlike you. we went to grammy rara & papa's house for din din and then came home where you fell in n out of sleep. you didn't sleep very well either, you snuggled between me n daddy but tossed and turned and coughed all night long. you finally fell asleep around 730 monday morning and didn't wake up for the day until about 1130. then you watched tinker bell while mommy cleaned up the house, well attempted to clean the house :) 
sometimes i feel like when i clean up i make a bigger mess :)

daddy came home before class and held you while mommy got some stuff done. he loves you so much. he called a bunch today to check on you and made sure to pray for you while he was at work. then while he was in class we made dinner and picked up some more. once daddy got home we had family home evening and went for a walk to the grocery store and read an article in the ensign. 

you have the best daddy in the world. he gave up his bed for you to sleep in his spot next to mommy. even though he had to wake up extra early to drive down to san diego he slept on the couch so that you and i could be more comfortable. he is the best dawdy :)

it is so hard listening to you cough and cry because you are sick. i wish there was more i could do for you. everyone tells me i cant shield you from all the germs and i know they are right but i wish i could! it would be worth it to make sure you never hurt or feel yucky. if i could i would protect you from everything, but i cant. i know you will have to get sick, skin your knee, and make mistakes to learn and to grow, and daddy and i will be there every step of the way to kiss your boo boo's better.
I LOVE YOU MY BRYLEE SUE!

your mommy
