What to Post?

I have been trying to think of something to post and have been having a hard time deciding on anything. We were just eating our family home evening treat and everyone has been done for some time now and Briana is still sitting at the table eating her ice cream. Briana hardly ever fails in being the last one at the table for some reason everytime we sit down she either just sits there forever before she starts to eat or she has to go to the bathroom (which always takes at least 10 min. it seems) about 3/4 or the way through the meal. Lately Steve has been telling her if she hurries she will not have to sit at the table by herself. The promptings haven't been working very well. She was the last one at the table at dinner and she ended up finishing it sometime later when I told her she had to finish her mashed potatos or she couldn't have the dessert. She went right in and finished it in less than five minutes. Anyways back to the dessert, I finally told her it is bedtime and she has to be done in one minute. She hurried to finish and then said, "I am done now; I was fast"!!!!! We all laughed and Steve said fast as a snail and she agreed. I doubt she knew what she was agreeing too but it was cute. She did have one day this last week when she decided as soon as she sat down to lunch that she was going to beat Carson and she actually did. Carson does not like to lose and he is always trying to say no you are not I am the first one even if he isn't. Funny how kids are but boy are they cute.
We had our Primary Program in church today and it was great. Most of the children had their parts memorized and the kids knew all of the songs and sang them extremely loud. I think it was probably the loudest singing at a Primary Program I have ever heard. We had about 60 kids that participated and every one of them did great. Sierra, Carson, and Briana had their parts memorized too. Briana was standing at the front waiting for her turn at the pulpit and she was looking at the audience and a sister told me she would peek just her eyes over the edge and look at all the people and then she kept looking at them when it was her turn and then everyone was looking at her. Finally the Primary Pres. caught her attention and got her up to the pulpit to do her part. I wasn't sure if she would really say when all the people were in the audience but she said it loud and clear. Carson spoke right in to the microphone he held his hands on both sides of it and practically ate it at the same time. Sierra of course did a great job too.
For family home evening we have been trying to sing the songs we have been learning this year for extra practice but tonight I said we could sing something fun and different since we were done with the Program but Briana said no I want I Love to See the Temple. Sooooo we sang it and then did a fun different closing song.
What would we do without Briana???????? As I am typing the kids were supposed to get in bed. Carson and Sierra are in bed. I have not been paying real close attention but either Briana got in bed and got back up or she has yet to be in bed. She came in and told Steve she needed her ribbons out of her hair so he took them out. Then she came over to me and asked me to take her ponytails out. Then she went to put them away and in the process somehow ended up talking to Sierra who was wondering if Steve forgot to come down and tuck her in and turn off the light. Steve said no I am waiting for you to get in bed I said you need to get in bed first because he puts you in bed then does Sierra. Then she goes in her room and talks to Carson and comes back out again and says "Carson says he is going to fall asleep if you don't get your fanny in here right now" hearing her say "FANNY" was so funny Steve and I just laughed and said they are all waiting on you if you would get in bed then daddy would come to turn off the lights. So she got in bed and Steve went in and said "Is Briana really in bed?" She giggles so loud. He turned off the light, shut the door and headed downstairs, and guess what happened next??????? Briana came back out the door and said "It took too long I have to go potty, I have to go POOP" Right now she keeps saying "Mom and Dad I have to go potty" she is sitting on the toilet but makes sure we know she is there!!!!!! What will we do with this girl and what would we do without her?
Here I thought I had nothing to say and hopefully you didn't get bored by the end. Maybe I should just start writing and things will come.

Cute stories Sarah! That is why I love blogging & writing in my journal, so I have all these memories. There are some days that my kids are so funny, I just keep my journal with me so I can add notes to help me remember these days. ttfn
