Running in Circles

Brice

- Is really excelling at his job and enjoying the little perks like being taken out to lunch often.

- can be found listening to pod-casts during his commute

- Finally got a calling- Stake Technology Assistant. His calling entails a lot but recently he was working hard to make sure Stake and General Conference were broadcasted to the church building well.

- recently built and painted Hazel a stool (to help her sit on the potty easier)

-Is running three times a week at 6:45 in the morning. This last Saturday he ran 5 miles (which is his longest run since leaving Provo)

- loves coming home to Hazel, who runs up to him and gives him hugs and kisses right away and to a home cooked dinner pretty much ready to eat.
- So far doesn't love any boy name suggested.
- Brice and Hazel love working on projects together. Here Brice is making Hazel a sword for her Halloween costume. Shoes are mandatory but clothing is optional.

Breann

-has 86 days until due date
- I called Brice 5 minutes before he was leaving work last night to say- I wanted greasy pizza! I had dinner all prepped and ready to start cooking, but we ate greasy pizza and it was so good!

- so grateful for the good friends I've made here in Dallas.

- looking forward to having visitors (Doug & Lucinda) next week and then finally having a car again :)

- Spoke in Sacrament Meeting this last Sunday and for some reason was terrified!

- Feeling pretty unprepared for another baby in the house

- Grateful for electricity and 72 hour kits.
- We've had a few exciting weekends between losing power, Ebola, General Conference, Hazel's 2nd Birthday, and this weekend we're going camping.

Hazel

-Has started throwing herself on the floor when she's upset (but has quickly learned that she doesn't get the attention that she's hoping for)

- Had one of those huge diaper blowouts in her carseat today. I don't even remember the last time I cleaned up a mess like that.
-Asked me to buy "running shoes" and now refuses to take them off. Last night she tried to put them back on, even after she had her jams on.
- Is going to be a little pirate for Halloween. Maybe not the cutest costume ever, but she put on the eye patch and started saying "Arrgh" so we're sticking with it!
- Has gotten really into Halloween. She loves driving down Spooky Street (a street close by that the houses are well decorated with pumpkins, scarecrows, giant black cats, spiderwebs, and ghosts!)
She even woke up twice this week yelling "GHOST" and crying hysterically.
