Last Friday Jared surprised me at work with a beautiful bouquet of my favorite flowers.... "Just because". They were so beautiful and totally made my day. I love it when he does things like that, it makes me appreciate him so much more! He racked up the Browine points that day!!
Just wondering here.... What are brownie points suppose to be anyway?? Are they "Brown letter E" points or "Brownie like chocolate dessert" points? Who came up with this saying? Does anyone know the history behind the Brownie points phrase? Do you ever get to cash them in? What are the rules here?
Here are some pictures of my flowers... the pictures do not do them any justice! They were beautiful. The bright pink daisy is still alive and looking good!
I wish I was a talented photographer so I could take cool pictures... instead I just have pictures like this that I wish looked cool!
Last Saturday some of my friends from work went out to lunch to The Pizza Factory. I am so glad I work with such great people. It really makes a difference when you can enjoy your job! We just talked and laughed... I love these moments when we get to be together out side of work!

On Friday we had my Grandpa Jack's birthday party at my parents home. It turned out really nice. Grandpa Jack is a funny guy. Jared loves to sit and talk with him. (He had to go to work so he was sad he only got to stay for a half an hour before he had to leave.) Xander loves to play and tease Grandpa. Grandpa will tease Xander and say "Come here let me punch you in the nose!" Well the little critter has really picked up on this and now punches people in the nose! He got Grandpa Jack the other night. To me it is really funny, to Breanne well.... she is the mother of the kid who hits other kids on the nose! Is it bad if I still laugh?

Breanne made this cute sign for Grandpa!
"An old Crab lives Here"
Yeah a smile! My Dad doesn't smile for pictures but I caught them laughing!

It has been a fun and busy few weeks here are more small high lights of events.
*** I planned our annual clinic summer party which was a lot of work but turned out well!
*** Jared and I went out to dinner to Ruby River for date night. I only mention this because they make the BEST coconut shrimp and I am craving it now again.....
*** Jared registered for his upcoming semester at UVU. I am still deciding if I am going to take a class or two.
*** Nicole and I made oatmeal applesauce cookies, got a Slurpee, watched a movie and talked until 3 am. I felt like I was in High School again, it was great! Thanks for the good times Cole, you are the best!
*** Jared is working his last Sunday grave yard shift at the Hospital!!!
He was able to trade his Sunday shift for a Wednesday shift. I am so excited! We now can spend more time together on Sundays.
Now to back track a bit to some fun pictures that never made it to a post but should have....
A few weeks ago my sister-in-law Tiffany came up from Arizona for a few weeks with her girls Livy and Sophie. While they were here my Mom wanted a picture of all of the grandchildren. She had one of her friends come over and take some really cute pictures (that I don't have). I also took a few snap shots of the babies, they are so cute. I just love all of these little kiddos SO much!!
My adorable (and oh so tan) nieces from Arizona

Trying to get all these kids to smile and look in the same direction was nearly impossible!

This should be on the cover of Parenting magazine or something!

Someone's going to get hurt!
My niece Allie came over to see Jared's new guitar. She wanted to play one of the guitars so we got Jared's old electric guitar out for her. She sat down with it and just started playing and singing this twangy country sounding song. "One day I was walkin' and I saw..." were the lyrics to her made up song. It was a total crack up! I wish I could have recorded the moment but all I got was this snap shot of her singing with the guitar.
It is raining right now so I have the windows open. I love the smell of rain! I wish Jare was home so we could go on a walk in the rain. Walks in the rain by your self aren't that fun:( I better hurry and get to sleep so I can listen to the rain while I fall asleep.
Don't forget to help me out with my quest to know the rules and make up of the "Brownie points"!

I have never heard of the pizza factory until one opened up almost right across the neighborhood from us. We love it! It helpes to know who owns it too. Free pizza for us! YUM YUM!!!
Sorry about taking so long to comment back to you. You and Jared are so cute. I always looked up to Jared when we were in high school and I think he found the perfect wife. I remember that my dad got an invitation to your wedding. He know lives in St. George by us. Which is nice. You can read my blog anytime. I am thinking about going private. If I do just leave me your email. Or you can email me at laceytorgerson@yahoo.com
Hi Davian my name is Rachel (Llewellyn) Wilkinson I went to high school with Jared and found your cute blog through some other high school friends. I noticed in this post that you work with Angela (Rees?) I would love to get in contact with her through email or the blogging world if possible. Would you mind letting her know I said hi and giving her my blog address (it has my email on it)? www.rnbwilkinson.blogspot.com
Thank you so much and feel free to visit our blog too :)
well davian, according to wikepedia..."Brownie points are a hypothetical social currency, which can be accrued by doing good deeds or earning favour in the eyes of another, often one's superior. The origin of the term is uncertain." So, there you go.
p.s. i love your rambling blog! ;) you make me giggle.
