camera withdrawls

                   Sorry no pictures lately.

  My pink little camera has broken. 
 Ryan gave me this camera the day after Lincoln was born for my birthday, which makes this camera only 16 monthsish old.  I've googled, i've e-mailed, i've ebayed & can't seem to fix it.  To have the darn thing fixed it would cost me $114.00!! what? I know.... I can buy one for that, so that is what I plan to do. 

  Working only one day a week at the spa will require me to save a few paychecks, so this may take awhile, you'll have to sit tight & be patient. 
  In the mean time here are a few illustrations to better demonstrate a day in the life of THE BRITT'S.

Porter:  Mom do you have any bubblegum?

                   Me (the mom): Nope

                   Porter:SHIT!                                                                              

                   Me: Come with me it's time for a talk
                   Porter: Uggggg
                   Me: Porter that's a swear word & we don't say that in our family.
                  Porter: What's a swear word?
                  Me: It's a bad word & it makes heavenly father & Jesus sad when you say it.
                  Porter: Ok, what can I say?
                  Me: you can say..shoot...dang...oh man
                  Porter: -k- I'll remember
                  Me: Love you
                  Porter: -K-
                  Me: LOVE YOU !!!
                  Porter: Love you

HEAD

                 Yes, we have to buy hats custom made.

Monster Truckin Time

My Monster Truckin Kids.

My fantastic in-laws took the two older kids to the Monster Trucks a couple weekends ago.  Porter said it was awesome and Canyon said it was loud, but they both can't wait to go again.

They came home with checkered flags and a Mountain Dew Slurpee high.

Don't call girls names!

 I picked up Porter from school & as he walked closer to me I noticed he was crying, not just crying, full on tears, can't catch your breath, snot all over crying. his teacher was right behind him.
She told me he said something to a girl in his class and the girl didn't like what he said resulting in this............

We had a talk with Porter about calling people names, although i'm not really 100% sure what happend or what was said. According to Porter somebody called her a baby so he said it too? I say this with a question mark, a big huge question mark.

He wrote her a note and told her sorry.  She made him a sorry note too. (great moms think alike)
 P.S. she also kicked & hit him. gee whiz almighty

Moral of the story....don't call people names (especially girls!)

christmas tradition

Who can pass up a family photo op

Every year my parents buy all the grandkids matching christmas outfits.  We line up chairs, have backup distractions, funny faces ready & the camera aimed and ready to fire.

Some kids cry, some laugh and some simply just walk away.  some how every year my parents make it work and it has turned out to be a great family tradition. Oh and let's not forget the ever so delicious Allys pizza and salads...yummy

daddy daughter date

Ryan took Canyon on her fieldtrip to the christmas village in ogden. Once again I stayed home as far away from the snow as possible.

Afterwards it was a grilled cheese sandwich at Warrens.  Ryan told me he had a blast hanging out just him and her.  It doesn't happen very often or infact ever, there's usually a tag-a-long or two.

Grandpa Walt

I lost my dearest Grandpa this last December and i miss him terribly. I guess that's my problem with getting older, everyone else around me get's older too.

I am blessed and fortunate enough to know that we'll see him again someday.  Until then we will think of you often & remember you as you were, happy, loving and great.
