Wow, Congrats Geof.

Geof., I am so proud of that killer math grade. Truly a Bennett. Leash and Lyd, I've had a hard time even thinking about writing on the blog, how can I put into words my extreme jealousy? I have only wanted to go to a U2 concert since 1992 but the timing or the money has never worked out. Mike looked into getting me a ticket for this concert but it was so expensive for two and I didn't want to be a loser and go by myself. So... I guess I'll be seeing them when they are 65 or so on some reunion tour.

Leash, I would have felt sorry for you about the toilets until I read about U2.

Adam and Mindi, I'm glad you are having such a great month. Your family has been truly blessed.

Cameron, Leash, Jess, anyone else that I don't have an address for. Will you please post your addresses on the blog and sometime during the holidays (possibly including Valentine's Day) you will get a Christmas card.

Life here is great. Very busy. I took the girls on a train ride/visit to Santa on Saturday. We had so much fun. We went w/ Mike's mom and brother's family. The highlight of the whole trip was watching the Santa talk to the kids with his beard and mustache hanging off his face. Someday I will post the picture. As Jane said "it was classic."

Mom and Meagan and I spent the whole day yesterday at Nordstrom Rack, yes, with all the kids. Please kill me. Here we are down at the end of the dressing rooms, taking up four stalls, Ellyn gets a poopy diaper that stinks up the entire area. Jackson accidentally slams Jane's finger in the dressing room door- total drama, Sadie and Wil keep trying to crawl under the doors of other people's stalls and fight incessantly over a stuffed panda I have been letting Sadie carry around the store. I followed all that up with a trip to Costco where the woman kept my Costco card at the Photo counter so that when I went to check out with my other things I couldn't find it anywhere and the woman at my register told Sadie in a very firm voice to sit down in the back of the cart and made her burst into tears (long day, no nap). Finally after waiting over an hour and fifteen for my pictures I ask if they are done and they tell me that they have actually been done for quite awhile but they had my Costco card so they were keeping them up at the register. But I am almost completely done with my shopping so I am very happy. I have two returns to make and then all will be well. We are starting on chocolates today and what could be better than that? Jane and I already went to the gym so much of my guilt will be dissapated as I consume 1000 calories an hour.

I love you all. Sounds like everyone is incredibly busy. Tis the season. Blog BABY, blog. love, Brooke

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

By
My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

By
These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

By
I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
