Montisms: Phrases repeatedly used by Mont Brown

That definition is legit. If you don't know any Montisms let me enlighten you:

Ya heathens!

Judas Priest!

I've come to suck your blood!

Poop or get off the pot.

Its as cold as a tin toilet on a shady side of an iceberg!

A rat bark.

Ankle biters!

Move it or park it!

Are ya diggin' for gold?

Slower than molasses.

Quicker than poop through a goose.

Poop or shoe shine.

Come to Jesus meeting...

Handsome devil.

 Why so many with poop? I can not even tell ya. I also had to edit off a few. Let's just say Dad definitely was a farm boy.

Sometimes I really hate December.  Christmas gives me anxiety. It has every since my Dad died and maybe even a couple years before. I'm still not sure why but every time I go into stores that have all of their Christmas decorations up I freak out inside.

I miss him. Oh I miss him. I think about him on a regular basis when this day get closer. I try not to think about how sad I am to not have him around anymore. Some days I have to stop and let myself cry. It feels cleansing to me to take that moment. I have to remind myself how blessed I was/am to have such a great example in my young life.

It pains my heart to hear of people losing loved ones. I literally feel a weight on my heart when I think about the awful sadness and despair that come with such a loss. But I am lifted up in the knowledge that family is forever. I feel like I can't really realize how precious those moments of joy are without feeling the pain. One day, I will look back on this mortal experience and really understand how fleeting those moments are.   

The lesson I taught in Young Women's this week was about using time wisely. I have been reminded all week about how important each moment is in our lives. Every second counts because I am accountable to my Heavenly Father for those seconds. It's made me think about the mother I want to be remembered as by my children. What moments do I want them to remember? I know with my Dad I remember both the good and the bad. He was not perfect but that is not what makes a good Dad anyway. He loved me and I knew it. He cared about what I did with my life and I knew it. He would do anything to make sure I was on the right path and I. Knew. It. Hopefully one day, far, far, far away from this one, my daughters and maybe sons (who knows, right?) will look back and know the same. 

Kelsie's Pink 3rd Birthday!

When I asked Kelsie what kind of cake she wanted this year she said "Pink with sprinkles." Alright. I can do that.  I bought a Groupon for Glaus Bakery earlier in the year so I thought that would be perfect. If you haven't heard, we are in search of the best cake bakers in Northern Utah. You name the bakery I bet we have gotten a cake or some kind of baked good there. Did Glaus win? Ehh...not bad.

I continued the pink theme for the whole party. I also emailed everyone to tell them to wear pink but if they were boys they had the option of red. I didn't want to make anyone feel uncomfortable:).

I also made strawberry milk (Kelsie still asks for it daily) and bought 7up Pomegranate.

We recently had had pics taken of the fam so I emailed our photographer to see if she could send me one of Kels. My plan was to blow it up and just stick it on the wall. I had a 'light bulb' moment and thought why not do Pin the Crown on Kelsie? Hilarious. I cut out all the paper stuff with my Cricut which possibly hasn't seen the light of day for over a year now. Maybe longer. Oops.

Rick. Always goes above and beyond that guy! He got this whole outfit at the DI and dyed it pink.

She received a ton of gifts from Rick. He is going to spoil his grandkids like crazy one day.

Can't you tell my brother has all girls at home? Love it!

Halloween Fun!

We had our annual trip to Gardner Village to go on the Witch Scavenger Hunt. I love what they do there will all the funny witches.

 

These are pics from our ward Halloween party. It was packed!

The activity day's girls and their leaders did the thriller dance. The leader in the front is a seriously amazing dancer and it was awesome to watch her dance.

 

The Lunt's came down for Halloween and we all went to Alpine to Kelli's husband's sister's house. Ha. We had dinner and went trick or treating with everyone. We had to coach Kelsie on the fine art. Don't look at your candy. Just run to the next house. She had to try to keep up with her speedy and experienced cousins.

 

Lunt's Lovin' on the Babe

 

This was right after Lana was born. Her hair looks so dark here. It amazes me how much they change in so short a time.

Cute little Hailee holding Lana.

Sleepy little baby.

Miss you Boise Lunt's!

Dance! Dance! Dance!

I posted these to facebook but wanted to put them up here as well. Kelsie started her first dance class this year. She loves it and asks me almost every day if we are going to Miss Ashley's to dance! It so fun to have little girls!

Forgive the water spots. She had just brushed her teeth.

 

Here she is the day of her recital!

How did she get so big?
