Sympathy Cry

Today was another first for Brindi. We were watching our neighbors little girl who is about 6 months older than Brindi while her mom did her visiting teaching. Well the girls were playing fine until the other girl realized her mom was no longer there. She quickly started crying really loud which caused a chain reaction. Brindi didn't know what was going on but her friend crying must have brought out Brindi's soft side and so Brindi started crying to show sympathy. We couldn't get either of them to calm down. Finally, I took Brindi into the other room and gave her some apples with the intent of out of sight out of mind logic, which worked. Celeste on the other hand had the pleasure of calming the other girl. After a while she was okay and Brindi and her began playing together again. You have to love the sympathy cry!

Play'n in the Snow

I stole the above picture from my sisters blog. It was probably the best one of all three cousins.

Hold On! Already teaching them the buddy system!

I just really like this one of Brindi with her "dipped below one eye" look.

Joe's Birthday

This post is a little late, but on the 22nd Joe turned 28. We flew into Vegas that morning and spent the day with my family bowling and just playing around. His parents and I decided to go in together and suprise him with tickets to a Jazz game. So on the 28th Joe's parents, Joe, Brindi and I all headed up to Salt Lake. We left after church and met most of Joe's family at Temple Square walked around looking at all the lights and then had yummy hot chocolate and cookies. Joe's Aunt Bobbie was nice enough to let us stay in her condo that night, which is nicer than any hotel. Monday we went shopping and ate at Sizzler so Joe could get his "all you can eat shrimp and steak". After that we said goodbye to some of Joe's family and then we went to the Church Museum. After zAspending a couple hours in there we got ready and headed to the Jazz game. It was a lot of fun and we had great seats thanks mostly because of Joe's dad and mom. I hope Joe enjoyed it as much as I did! Happy Birthday Babe. I love you!!!
