Brett comes for a visit --January 9th

My Oldest brother Brett, doesn't like to fly. So he drives. He drove from St. Louis to Portland for a job interview. Luckily enough Utah is on the way. He stopped for an extra day on the way back to recover from all the driving, and my kids and I got to spend some time with him.
It was fun. Just how it should be when an Uncle comes to visit. My kids dig him. I just asked Josie if she knew who this was, and she said, "Brett silly." It has been a month now since we saw him, and she still remembers. I'm not sure she remembers the name of my brother who lives here. Brett made a good impact! We had a good time.
Just he and I took a drive to see the this is the place monument. We were looking for Brigham with a bird. He doesn't have one on this monument just so you know. He does however have one on the one by the SLC temple.
Brett wanted to take a picture of the sunset. This is where he learned his wife is a much better photographer than me, especially outdoors.
I was glad he came. He was good to my kids and made some memories. I hope he brings all his girls back this summer and we make some more!

Yes I'm ready to let my kids quit everything, b/c I HATE all the running around, trying to get homework done, and make dinner. How do people stay sane?
And Now, Avery starts Activity Days!! Also, activity days are on the same day/time as her tumbling.
London and Belle aren't even really added to that picture yet. We will see what they do..
Refering to Noah's Ballroom, I get where you're coming from.
