So yesterday I had a billion trillion things to do and I was getting pretty frustrated especially with homework. One of the things I had to get done was Biology homework. I didn't think it would be that hard, but when I started it I realized that we had not gone over the concepts in class yet. So after not having a clue on some of the questions I was getting really stressed out and then I remembered- I have a Biology genius as a brother! So after calling and getting some help I actually understood the questions and in the end I got 100% on my assignment... it is too bad I can't call Spencer during the test next week!
I also got to see Michael yesterday, which was fun because I haven't even seen him forever! We went and got shakes (I got a Peanut Butter Cup shake and it was good) and visited for a bit. Then today at the career fair I got a free stapler from Michael which I have been needing one so that was really nice!
Oh I like having younger brothers and a sister and sister-in-laws too!

When is the BABY due Heather???
So I am so disappointed that you and Michael never called Spencer and I to tell us about the good news of your little BOY and the due date....We were waiting patiently for a call for 2 or 3 days and finally we just asked Amy and she told us!
Congratulations on another boy! Thomas will have a little brother to get into mischeif with.... And another great thing....You can use some of the clothes from Thomas if he didn't ruin a lot of them!
We are still waiting for a phone call so anytime would be awesome!

New Calling
Maybe I'll be jinxed if I talk about this, but I'll share anyway. I was told last week that I would be released from my calling as Sacrament meeting chorister. I've been in this calling for 2 years and while, I learned a lot, it's not been my favorite. I was told that I was really going to like my new calling and that it would be a lot of fun. I'm scared already! I'd like to hear any guesses as to what you think my calling will be. I'm guessing ward activities chairman or camp director (because what some people's idea of fun is a lot different than mine). We'll see if I'm right. My reasoning for this guess is that Wendy Pitt was just released as ward activities leader and I believe they might be looking for a camp director as well. I'll be surprised if it isn't one of those! They already called a ward music chairman and a new choir director. Pray for me!

MaMa
Ella Jane has finally learned how to say MaMa!!! I was so happy!
Ella babbles about everything and anything. She will call out MaMa when she wakes up and I just think it is the cutest thing....she still says DaDa when she wants Spencer to play with her. She is just getting so smart. Every stage has been fun but I have especially liked the last 2 months. I really enjoy being a mom and I am amazed at how much love you can have for your child. Even when she is notty and tares pages out of good books and ruins a new cell phone....I just have to laugh and look at the cute little girl smiling at me...

A NEW way of TalKiNg
Ella Jane is becoming very smart. We are taking a baby sign language class. Ella doesn't pay much attention ...she has discoverd that she can take other childrens's toys and play with them...she also likes to follow this little girl Sydney who is about 17 months old....Ella loves to play with her toys and finds herself taking them and not giving them back. Ella doesn't like it when the little girl takes her toys. I guess this is a great time to teach her how to share!
The best news it Ella has finally picked up on one sign...that is the word more!! I think by the end of the 6 weeks she may have a few more signs.
This has been a great opportunity for me and Spencer to teach Ella....although we find ourselves making the signs to each other and Ella laughs because she thinks it is funny! oh well!

New Feature This Week
So to help all of you think about things to blog about, I've included some of our favorite blogs on the right hand side of our family blog.
The Mormon Mommy Wars blog generally has hilarious posts regarding Mormon culture and is one of Heather's favorites to read. This seems to be a pretty popular blog and always has a ton of comments. On this blog you gain insight on things like "Saying No To A Calling" and funny interactions between Mormon mothers and their children.
The "Bleeding Heart Grafitti" blog is Heather's oldest brother Eldon's blog. His blog is always hilarious. On Eldons blog you learn things like what a "grup" is and the connection between Disneyland and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
"The Good Apple" is Heather's sister Melissa's blog that she updates almost daily. She posts recipes and other fun things that might interest any or all of you.
The last blog we put up is "Bryant Milestones" which is run by Heather's cousin Liz. Her blog is more trendy and might give you some ideas on what you can post about.
On all of these blogs there are links to even more blogs, so the extent that someone runs across someone else's post on another site that they think is worth sharing, please post the link on our site. Hope this helps (and makes you laugh).

Start 'em young
Today when we were planning our Saturday activities Mike said he was going to mow the lawn. Thomas responded, "no, Thomas do it." We tried to explain that it's a Daddy job but he wouldn't budge. We laughed and agreed that he'll just run away when he hears the motor, as usual. Oh no, he still insisted that he was mowing the lawn today. He'll still want to do this when he's a teenager, right?

Africa Ful
Now that it has been awhile since Jay and I returned from Africa I guess I should blog. We started out river rafting where I spent most of the time in the water. Then we went to the chimp sanctuary where we got to play with the chimpanzee's that was pretty much amazing. We saw lots of wild life up close and personal. Elephants, lions, hippos, and gorrillas. If I had the chance and the money I would go back in a heart beat. Nothing can really describe how incredible Africa is.
