Ok, so I'm a twice a year blogger. It has been so fun to get on your blogs. You are all so inspiring to me. And I really enjoy seeing how you and your families are doing. Love the new hair pics, new baby pics, the nkotb updates, the mud pics, the mandles that are now available, and the rotten flowers your kids are eating at the zoo. And for those of you with top secret clearance into your blogs, I would love an invite and catch up with your families too. We miss you and our Menifee Adventures.
We are enjoying the outdoors here in Utah. The last snow was about 2 weeks ago, so I think I can safely say that spring is here to stay. The boys are finishing up their spring sports and have a newfound love, rockclimbing. b just completed her first ballet class and was too cute in her tu-tu. I teach swim lessons at a local gym--so fun! And just completed my first triathlon. Nate is my rock and continues to have an abundance in the humor department. For the Tri they wrote numbers on our arms to identify us. I have scrubbed and scrubbed, and for the life of me cannot get mine off. So he now stamps every comment to me with my new nick name "24601" from Les Mis. Leave it to Nate. (and if you are laughing right now, yes, he's proud of himself)
Just when it seems I have things figured out, life has a way of shifting my perception yet again. My sister just found out that her sweet little 3 year old Ian has Leukemia. All the things that seemed like such a big deal to me, suddenly aren't. I don't know why some of us are called to suffer the unthinkable, but I know that miracles happen. And I know that prayers bound together are stronger. www.iancrabtree.blogspot.com
Each of you have touched my life for good. I want you to know that. I hope this entry finds you happy, healthy, and strong in the gospel. love-b

I love this post! I'm so happy to hear from you again! I was frequently checking here to see if there was an update and I was sooo happy to see it today. It sounds like you guys are doing great, I'm glad to hear it. I'm so sorry to hear about your nephew.
you are missed!
oh man brooke. My shirt is soaked from tears! I have spent the last 30 mins reading your nephews blog. wow. what strength your sis and bro-in-law have. I wonder if I could handle that? clearly I am a wreck just reading about someone else's experience. I will pray for them tonight!
Thanks for catching us all up on your lives in Utah. I would love to know more information about your and your skating partner. You guys have some serious moves!
It was so much fun talking to you the other day! I'm glad you guys are doing well. I'm proud of your triathlon and maybe someday I'll do one too. Tell Nate that I did laugh at the 24601 part!
So sorry to hear about your nephew. He will be in my thoughts and prayers. It was good to see a new post from you all. We would love to get together again with you. Will call you soon.
