My little Brooklyn is a Daisy in Girl Scouts of America! I can't believe my daughter is the one selling girl scout cookies now. I always remember as a teenager being so excited to see girl scouts out and about doing service projects and thinking how if I had a daughter that she would totally be a girl scout! The time has come! Brooklyn absolutely loves it! Ava loves being her little helper too! I LOVE MY GIRLS!!!

WHY I BLOG:

I blog mostly for my family and friends back home in North Carolina. When I inform them that I have a family blog they can look at, I get crazy faces looking back at me. Apparently blogging isn't well known in my neck of da' woods so after explaining what it is they seem pretty excited about it! Hopefully its worth the time I spend on this darn computer! Secondly I do it for my extended family (Braydons family) who live elsewhere also. Lastly I do it for my wonderful friends here in good ol' St. George and the blog stalkers that follow! MUAH!!!

Some of my Favorite Quotes

"Lord, thank you for letting me be born in the south, and for the pinto beans and cornbread in my mouth."
"In all of living have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured." President Gordon B. Hinckley
"Nothing could ever compare to the kindness of a stranger. You have no idea what people are going through. Remember to be kind and thoughtful to others. I'm sure you'd want the same."
"I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul."
"In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, it is more important than ever to make our families the center of our lives and the top of our priorities. Families lie at the center of our Heavenly Father's plan."

I never said it would be easy. I only said it would be worth it.
