this kid makes me smile everyday. he's a crazy little one.
if my closet door is open, he makes a beeline for it. he can be found pulling every single shoe i own off their shelves, or climbing in and hiding in the laundry bag hamper/holder.

{ya, those are completely stuffed. i do laundry and it seems the next day i walk in my closet to find them full again. seriously!? does it sneak up on anyone else?!}

elder brew..

wow, another week already! crazy.

we aren't up to much. just normal everyday things. breck is getting too smart. he knows so many letters it's crazy. he's even asking what they say and what starts with F? he's such a fun kid.

he is so excited for this weekend b/c he gets to see the denhams. and peyton. we haven't seen them in forever, and he just loves them.

the weather is saying there is a possibility for snow this weekend, possibly even tomorrow. we may have a white thanksgiving!

this weekend is the first tournament for wrestling. i think it's only j.v., but it's starting! breck's excited. he wants to go wrestle and see all the boys. he'd probably wear his little singlet if we let him! (he can wear it to practice, i'm just not too sure about to a match!)

merr is into a fit throwing stage. if he doesn't get what he wants, he flops himself back and arches all crazy. such a little stinker. crazy little man for sure! he has a funny little personality!

k well this one is a short one, i'm am so tired tonight!

we love you!! we miss you!! keep up the good work!

christmas wishes..

24/30

breck's christmas wish list is ever growing. just added yesterday:

football pads.

like jaces. notice the face? that's a mean football man. in case you were wondering.


(ya i know this is bad quality. only had a camera phone!)


PS.. just as i'm writing this i hear a THUD from the other room. i pause for the cry or something to tell me where it came from. it was breck. he fell off his bed! so sad. he's fine, after being tucked back in and getting a few kisses from his mommy. (i love that kisses can fix just about anything.) i think the biggest thing is he's just a little annoyed that his sleep was interrupted:) anyone else's kids get mad when they are disturbed while sleeping? merr is the worst..

22/30 & 23/30

these 2 are along the same path..

22/30

for the sweet kids i work with in primary. they have worked so hard.

23/30

today we had our primary program. the kids were wonderful. they knew their parts and they sang so loud and beautifully! i was very impressed. the spirit was there when they sang.
it bore witness to me, yet again, that we are all beloved children of God.

{and i had to face a fear of mine. leading a song in sacrament meeting! yikes!! it went better then i thought. that is one calling i hope i never get!}

catching up..

21/30

i have put off saying anything about a situation we have been dealing with in part because i'm so tired of it and the people involved. and i'm know some of you know them, and i don't want to be make anyone think any more bad things about them.
but today i received an answer to many, many prayers i have said over it.
i have been very upset and annoyed about the whole thing. i have not been able to understand how people can treat others this way. especially family. and take such advantage.
and because of different experiences with it, we have had to deal with others that have been less then honest. i just hope they will actually follow through. we shall see.
so anyway i have been more wary of people and not wanting to trust anyone anymore. and that is horrible, i know.
my answer came as i was cleaning my kitchen. both boys were napping (love when that happens) so my house was very quiet. so i turned on the sunday afternoon session of this last general conference we have on DVR. it was russell m. nelson's talk. he said (talking of shoplifters) those rare individuals that cast aside their personal integrity. now i haven't had to deal with shoplifters, but it hit me that everyone has agency. they are free to choose what they do. and i can not control that. i cannot control how they treat me. but i have control of how i react. it has helped so much. it has not taken away all these not so nice feelings i have toward them, but i feel one step closer. and as long as i am moving forward with it, that is good.

yes, this is breck vacuuming. he loves it. he asks if he can do it. yea! i have a little helper:)

dearest elder brewer,

hey bud! how are ya? we are good! every one is healthy, so that's good! merr is a bit crankier than usual, but he is getting another tooth, so that's understandable.
so about your shout out.. i didn't do it last week b/c you reported on the 14th, so if you scroll down to the 14th, you will find a post especially for you!
the weather has been pretty nice still. we have been able to go on walks, go to the park and play on the grass still. which seems crazy because it's mid november!

breck says i love you. you tome here afer yours mission. when is done. see ya. (he said you come here after your mission. when it's done.)

it was crazy to look back at those pictures! everyone has changed! even you look different! more grown up :)

so do you want or need anything? christmas is coming up, and i need to know! i'd rather send you something you'll use you know!

timmy enjoys working at the school. he'd rather be teaching P.E., but he's doing good for now. this year they have a lot of boys out for wrestling. more then they have ever had before. around 40 i think. and that's even after they've had 8-10 quit! so they'll have a j.v. and varsity squads. so he's excited. they have a young team, but a full one, so they are excited.

i got a new calling, i'm 2nd counselor in the primary. so i'm over all the cub scouting! haha, fun huh! at least this ward has a program! and the people actually do their callings. so it'll be good.

our primary program is this sunday. i'm leading the music to it still b/c all the kids are used to me b/c i've worked with them all year. i'll be glad when it's over though!

well i'll get this posted so you don't miss it.

we love you ber-ber! have a great week!

beautiful weather in mid november!

when the pumpkins start to rot, the boys get to take them out and destroy them!

17/30

today i have 2 blessings:

1. timmy has work. he was blessed with the opportunity to work at the high school. they approached him, asked him to apply. just another way that i know we are being watched over.

2. exercise. i actually did some today. it has been, well a while! it felt really good. my body/muscles are tired, but in the good way.





breck got to go to his papa brewers house and help him make some bread.

breck said i had really fun.
it was sure tasty!!



now it's off to bed! i'm hoping i'm not too sore tomorrow!

16/30

sunday afternoons.. hanging out together. trying to get a good picture.. haha, this was our best shot. too bad it's blurry..

the ward chorister asked my mom to have her family sing in sacrament meeting. so she enlisted our help, along with the davis', jones' and jacksons. it was quite the group. the song was "The Family is of God". i think it's one of my new favorites, i've been humming it all day.



want to hear it? go here. {then scroll down that page and click on the song.}

i am so grateful for my family.

15/30

merrik got his first hair cut!!

jace and mason made this sweet trailer to pull the kids.. it did break after a few rides, but i hear it now has some awesome new wheels and is better then ever. i'll have to get an updated picture:)

(and yes, that is my breck with his helmet on. no i did not make him wear it for his ride. that kid wears it anywhere we let him..)

14/30

my baby is growing too fast. he watches, then copies. everything.

we sure love this feisty little man!
