I have come to a decision that scary monsters are driving me nuts. I have been woken up about every night for the past two weeks from Maci being scared of monsters. I'm not sure if it is her curtains, a shadow or some other random thing. I've looked up lots of different ideas to try and remedy this situation...however, I can't decide what to do. If you have ever had this problem... I'd love to hear what your solution is.

It was fun. They giggle and laugh and pretend and do all those things that kids should do. As I watched them, I realized that "this too shall pass:" My oldest is going to be 14 on August 4th. 14!!! Time fly's by too fast. I remember the day that Lexie took her first steps and how she used to be able to mimic every referee call for basketball. That was years ago. How Taya used to fumble up all her words..... bouncy ball and commote (for remote) other cute things like that. Brie just used to be so little and didn't do much at all..... she can crawl now. Even my little three year old is so big now. Potty training (finally...yah!) and saying so many more sentences and making sense.<br />
<br />
I guess what I've learned is that we should grab each day as it comes. Make memories that will remain with you, always. To write in my journal EVERY DAY, so that I can remember those things that we did that are worth remembering. One day, I will be old and grey and these memories won't come to my mind anymore. I'll need to remember. Let's hope I continue to write down and take pictures of these things so that I and my kids will REMEMBER.<br />

I've dyed my hair blonde. It's not my favorite but its definitely different. Sometimes looking for something outside of the norm isn't always a great idea. Sometimes, sticking to what you know is the best idea.<br />
<br />
Brie's appointments went well at primary children's hospital. Not anything new was told to us but hopefully what we did find out will help her with her ongoing pain. Every time I go there I realize how incredibly blessed we are. Brie could be so much worse. Two families I had spoken to had children that had varying types of transplants. 100days of hanging around after its done and that's if everything goes perfectly. As difficult as our problems are, they could be so much harder. I'm grateful for our trials. It proves to me that Heavenly Father knows us and what we need to experience to grow. <br />
<br />
We also went to Boondocks, my cousin Jared's house and the Hogle Zoo. It was a long trip but fun. Life is about making memories and hopefully my kids remember this trip. I appreciate Jared and Kristi for letting us hang out. It was so much fun. I really miss the gatherings the Brownings' used to have. Great food and lots of laughs. I was so privileged to have such a great extended family. I now have a lifetime of memories to keep close to my heart. And I feel like I made some new memories at Jared's house to add to those of the past. Lol. I'd share but it was too embarrassing.<br />
<br />
Steve is busy at work and doing such a great. He keeps in line and we continue to read scriptures over the phone nearly every single night. I love you Mr. Belnap!!<br />
<br />
I helped Lexie mow the grass today. And now, I'm so itchy. Does anyone else ever experience annoyances that just drive you nuts?? Ie...wasps, bees, itchy grass clippings, allergies, etc I'd love to hear what bothers you.<br />

Her health has been so horrible. Poor kiddo! I'd show you some updated pics but my phone won't let me. Hopefully some upcoming visits to primary children's hospital in Utah will help us get some answers. Alexis made the bonneville high school dance team for next year. Ya! Go honeybees!! Taya is in limbo land. She doesn't know what she'd like to do. She likes basketball, so she'll probably do that. Little Maci is three now and a big handful. Oh my!! At least she's stopped writing on the walls. Steve just got hired on to the Big West conference in officiating. Yippee!! Onward and upward. Congrats to him on the big score!<br />
<br />
I'm busy being mommy. Nurse mommy mostly these days. I love my job! It's the best job in the world, just sometimes the hardest. I found a new saying that I love, thought I'd share it with you...."Life has no remote, so get up and change it. " kinda direct but I get complacent sometimes and forget that I am the one who can change what I don't like. It's my job to do that and no one else's. Well I had better get going with my day. Hope your day is cheerful, exciting and spent with family!!Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877658887322768029.post-62835129518689729262012-10-23T20:00:00.003-07:002012-10-23T20:00:46.171-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I can't believe the summer is gone and fall is nearly gone now. It was a busy summer as they always seem to be. The Browning's had two really special get togethers. Uncle Jerry and Aunt Karen's 50th wedding anniversary and mission farewell. And Aunt Verla's 90th Birthday. I was able to visit with so much family. It was like a dream. A wonderful dream that I didn't want to end. <br />

Alexis has had her 13th birthday and wow is she different. More mature, funny, into fashion, loving and bit more of a spit fire. Brie had her 7th birthday. She's had a rough year but now she is gaining weight and feeling a bit better. Yippee!! Taya just turned 10 too! They all are getting so big. I can hardly believe my own eyes. I swear they were just little toddlers the other day. But life is great, even with all of it's many challanges. Each step is a great ride. Oh, and the randon Monkey picture....just had to add it. We call Brie our "monkey-kin". And I think that is just the cutest picture of a monkey ever. <br />

Isn't it funny how much time flies by when you aren't paying attention. I was looking at some old photo albums and ran across some younger photos of my kids. It just seems like yesterday they were that little and look at them now. It just proves to me how we should all take advantage of each day. Enjoy the golden moments that we are given and stopping wishing for tomorrow. Hope you enjoy the pictures.Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877658887322768029.post-13835163146105322482012-05-01T18:29:00.001-07:002012-05-01T18:29:41.342-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well my little Maci is now a "big" girl. Although becoming a "big girl" means to me - the mommy- that I have to chase her around more and she doesn't want to stay in bed at bedtime. "This too shall pass"....that is what I keep telling myself. Lol. <br />
<br />
And my little brother is now a daddy!! YA!! Sydnee Suzette Browning 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches. Born on monday April 30th at 10:11 pm. I'm so glad that he will be joining the club of all of us other Brownings. Grandma Browning's last grandchild is finally having his own child. I am so proud of him and Shandee for deciding to have this sweet little girl. It took him a little convincing but she is sooooo worth it. (so Shandee tells me)<br />
<br />
My cute little family is growing like weeds. Alexis will be 13 in August. A teenager....where does the time go? Taya is loving school but wishing it was over so she could sleep in. Ha Ha. Brie has had more health problems this year, so that always makes things a little harder. But she still always has a smile on her face. Such a sweet little girl. Maci....not so sweet. Climbs on everything, dumps out everything, throws everything and the newest thing....let's swallow adult medicene. Ahh!!!! She's ok. Thanks goodness! She just has no fear. Although she is one of the sweetest little girls who loves to hug and give kisses. <br />
<br />
I love my family soooo much! I am grateful for all the many blessings and trials that come into our/my life. I love the gospel and wouldn't be where I am today without it. Hope you all have a great day and are enjoying your life. xoxo<br />

Thanksgiving was fun and yummy. Now that Christmas is on it's way our family just can't wait. It's our favorite season. Doing service for others and making baked goods. The surprise of Santa and wrapped gifts under the tree. It's a magical season that warms our home with such happiness. Hope that your Christmas season if full of smiles and giggles. And perhaps even some surprises!! Happy holidays to everyone.

Well another successful trip to Primary Children's hospital. The doctors there always have lots to say and things to try for Brie. However, this trip was successful because there wasn't anything "new wrong" and that is a blessing. She's a bit skinny but that is just how Brie is. Whew! We also visited Brie's friend Lauryn that was at the hospital at the time. She's a doll and we all just love her so much. I am just so grateful to have Brie and my other girls. They are such a joy in my life...even if they tire me out all the time.Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877658887322768029.post-54820414353309734222011-07-22T11:23:00.000-07:002011-07-22T11:23:51.782-07:00Family<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7rBiAuL_Wm55BW97JTyPOuLzRfWyeLGTF_5QpQInWMJahg05JuwhPtkdKLBahiOEHTgahImDqdubODsJB4qOf_3bvQw0A2UGBK1PqFL9srI74AgwAndLLh3OhoVsTPiQSxBEuYoqYeT0/s1600/summer+2011-2+138.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7rBiAuL_Wm55BW97JTyPOuLzRfWyeLGTF_5QpQInWMJahg05JuwhPtkdKLBahiOEHTgahImDqdubODsJB4qOf_3bvQw0A2UGBK1PqFL9srI74AgwAndLLh3OhoVsTPiQSxBEuYoqYeT0/s320/summer+2011-2+138.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br />

I can't believe that Alexis will be 12!!! on the 4th of Aug. She'll be in mutual. That makes me kinda old....I think. Maci is busy opening every drawer. Making mommy's work much busier then it used to be. Brie is as sweet as ever, like she always is. However, she fell out of her bed and gave herself a pretty good black eye. Taya is Taya. Always joking, bugging her older sister and making all of us laugh. Well....life just carries on. Doesn't it?!! I love my family so much. I/we are so blessed to have the wonderful children that we do have. They make life much more exciting.

Picnics in Tauphaus Park with all of the Browning group. (which really only happened once a year) I remember listening to Uncle George singing and playing his mandalin. All of us kids playing together and eating the most spectacular food!! Parades.....FIREWORKS. Andrew sticking a sparkler in his hair and burning his hair. Hee Hee. Most importantly...my Dad sharing his stories of WWII and what freedom should mean to us. How to be a proud American and how to support our country. As the years progressed I remember parties with friends. Going water-skiing all day and then fireworks to end the night. Now that I am a mom of my own kids. We are creating memories of our own. I just hope that my girls think that they were good ones. Here are a couple of pictures that I took (not good ones at that) to show how much fun we were having. So.....Tell me what kind of fun do you plan on having? We want to have a barbeque, sleep out on the trampoline or tent it. Maybe go to the zoo or play some night games....like hide-n-seek. Whatever it is you do, I'm sure you'll be making memories that will last a lifetime.Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877658887322768029.post-59487086390477766202011-06-08T08:00:00.001-07:002011-06-08T08:00:49.940-07:00fun!I love doing a blog!Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877658887322768029.post-85752841013389693842011-06-07T08:53:00.000-07:002011-06-07T08:53:02.295-07:00a giftI was sitting on the floor watching Maci this morning in awe of her. Have you ever really watched what a baby does when they are looking at something for the very first time? They look at the object. Then they pick it up, rolling it around in their hand. Feeling every side of the item. Does it crinkle, is it slippery or if I move it- will it change? Then they put it to their mouth. What does it taste like? Does it even taste? Then Maci looked up at me and smiled. A smile of triumph, a smile of being proud of what she has discovered; a smile of this is new and I get it. Their innocent eyes gleam with excitement and mystery and love. Love. In that very moment I found what will probably be my most fullfilling moment of the day. My daughter is growing, learning, and loving. What came next was the sweetest and most special moment. She walked forward and gave me a kiss and hug and said "Mama". Then she walked off to find the next exciting adventure for the morning. Although the moment truely only lasted a couple minutes.....it was magical.Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877658887322768029.post-60386145033027092832011-05-18T10:18:00.000-07:002011-05-18T10:18:36.157-07:00New great sayings!I found this saying and really like it....<br />
<br />
Forgiveness does not mean the cancellation of all consequences of wrong doing. It means the refusal on God's part to let our guily past affect His relationship with us. - unknown-<br />
<br />
Obstacles are those frightful things You can see when you take your eyes off your goal. -Henry Ford-<br />
<br />
As soon as you truly commit to making something happen, the how will reveal itself. - Tony Robbins-<br />
<br />
You must have long range goals to keep from being frustrated by the short-term failures. - Bob Bales-<br />
<br />
To be successful, you must decide exactly what you want to accomplish, then resolve to pay the price to get it. - Bunker Hunt-<br />
<br />
Sometimes life's frustrations get to me and I forget to look for the positive. That is until I read positive quotes like the one's I listed above. It's having the courage to forge ahead that takes the real strength. Forgetting what stands in your way and finding what makes you truly happy.Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877658887322768029.post-69478195362813922382011-05-10T08:17:00.000-07:002011-05-10T08:17:24.377-07:00Maci's Birthday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirNy-w2VY13q9a9hSWkfxbYyWFep3fs__Vi6HEYa6_8695sHwEWAu5C_S-YKW8_8uXjUlkJzBGZNvs_Gkq_v3OE5r5s6ZCAuTA5p6DDKGsPT3C4c8My3jKKCJTuTdwpa8oMZcsQcMB3Vk/s1600/spring+2011+028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirNy-w2VY13q9a9hSWkfxbYyWFep3fs__Vi6HEYa6_8695sHwEWAu5C_S-YKW8_8uXjUlkJzBGZNvs_Gkq_v3OE5r5s6ZCAuTA5p6DDKGsPT3C4c8My3jKKCJTuTdwpa8oMZcsQcMB3Vk/s320/spring+2011+028.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6bQ9Al8nKCUi4Bg_FHJNONwB_j_8X6cdbLD5M7f6gZJ7Zw95jNq_0peq3V4Pu-F_QTWnEgCv5rMCZi9yHGtCPUsCxd5sUVvMm2HxnKUy3kiQkWv_ooF2zXv6LYuAI-0Q8lsk3sNfJuVA/s1600/spring+2011+036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6bQ9Al8nKCUi4Bg_FHJNONwB_j_8X6cdbLD5M7f6gZJ7Zw95jNq_0peq3V4Pu-F_QTWnEgCv5rMCZi9yHGtCPUsCxd5sUVvMm2HxnKUy3kiQkWv_ooF2zXv6LYuAI-0Q8lsk3sNfJuVA/s320/spring+2011+036.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

YA! She just learned how to walk without anyone's help four days before her birthday. Still no teeth however, oh well. She loved all the attention and cousins to play with. There is one cousin in particular that is close in age that she likes to play with. I can't believe that my little baby is already one. My how the time flys. Never did I think I'd have four children and especailly all girls. However, they have been and continue to be such a blessing. I don't know what I would have done with boys.Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877658887322768029.post-43366423416687711832011-04-30T19:22:00.000-07:002011-04-30T19:22:55.581-07:00Silence....what silenceI sit here trying to post an overdue message to my blog and listen to loud decibles of my daughter screaming. AH!!!! This always seems to happen. Screaming when I'm on the phone, crying when it's bedtime; pouting if they don't get what they want and on and on and on. These are the hard moments in motherhood!!! However, I think that the Lord blesses us with some kind of screen because when those screaming moments pass I somehow forget how much I hate it and realize how wonderful they are. <br />

Lots has happened since our last post but I won't bore you with many details. Brie got really sick but she has nearly recovered, WHEW! Maci will be one on the 7th of May. YA!! Alexis and Taya are getting sick of school and want to sleep in. (That's not a surprise) Did I mention that Maci is screaming.....lol. Steve is back to work and busy with work and his church calling. And I am busy trying to fill in on everything else. Headaches, bodyaches; chores, and where is the nice weather. Well, life sure can be an adventure. Some times I just feel like all I can do is just hold on and go for the ride. Please tell me all mothers feel like this too!!Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877658887322768029.post-18950326984213935742011-03-24T10:21:00.001-07:002011-03-24T10:21:36.106-07:00What!I don't know what happened to those pictures.

I do love having all of the seasons, that isn't the problem. The problem is they are unbalanced. Too much wind and cold and not enough sunshine and fall days. <br />

She looks out the window and watches everything that passes by. And she LOVES FOOD. She'll eat anything. Litereally...paper, pickles, jerkey; yogurt, fish; as long as you let her have some....she'll eat it. Funny girl. Alexis is not a little girl now, so I've been told. 11 almost 12 is crazy. Taya is busy teasing Lexie and trying to be more grown up in her own rite. Both Alexis and Taya are super helpful with the little girls. I am so proud of them for what they do for our family. Brie is plugging along doing the only thing she knows how to do. Be Cute! She loves to watch her movies in her room and playing with Maci (when Maci will let her). Steve is finished with basketball now and is off for another week and then back to work. Life moves so quickly I hardly know have time to watch it pass by.

We had so much fun with our girls over the Christmas break. We laughed, we baked, we watched movies and we spent time together. Those moments are priceless! We spoke of Jesus Christ and how much He means to us over the holiday season. We feel truley blessed for the many blessings that we have been given, and for the trials too! We hope that your new year will be full of love and special memories!Belnap's Ref Ithttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13587611215644692408noreply@blogger.com0
