Poor Brighton got jumped! We were at the Ellsworth's and Brighton was out back playing. My brother, Don, has a Doberman that's a little over a year old, LARGE and hyper. He's never jumped on Brighton this bad but I guess the dog has been lonely. I happened to look out the window and see Brighton trying to fight him off and the big dog just kept jumping on him (playfully, but still!) while Brighton is screaming and trying to get him away. Brighton finally falls down and the dog still keeps jumping on him. I ran out there and screamed at the dog & he came running towards me. I smacked him so hard my hand stung and then tried to give him a good kick but I don't think it was good enough. In hindsight I wish I would have pulled out my mace and taught him a lesson. Brighton looked really dirty but I didn't realize he had all these scratches until we got back inside...then I was TICKED. I so wanted to kill that dog... Here's Brighton's aftermath (You have to enlarge the pics to really see the scratches):

Holy cow! Poor Brighton! I probably would have gone back out there after the dog after seeing Brighton. Kohl's a little unpredictable sometimes... Kalvin's definitely afraid of him.
He's just so big and the kids aren't big enough to fend him off... :(

Oh my, those pictures make me sad. That would be so scary for him. Mo is so afraid of dogs if that happened to him he would of pooped his pants.
It was so nice to hang out last week, we will miss you mucho!

Oh, poor little guy. I would have wanted to hurt that dog too. Me and dogs don't get along very well...I hope Brighton feels better.

Daisy's baptism day

Today Daisy was baptized by her big brother Brighton. My mom and Adaira got to be the witnesses, grandma Joanna gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, and Dale gave the closing prayer (after Dad has to rush during the closing song to help him put back on his tie and button up his shirt. Brighton was the pianist except for Adaira who played "When I am Baptized" for a special musical number. (A set of twins from another family was also baptized and their kids sang and played the violin). Here is what she has to say about her special day: I felt happy and felt the Holy Ghost. The water was a little cold. At first I was nervous but now I'm happy. I was excited to be baptized and I want to be a kind member of the church. My dad, grandpa Dean and grandpa Dale, great Uncle Dale, uncles Trent, Dean, Don, Duane and David confirmed me. Dad blessed me to seek a testimony of Jesus Christ and of Joseph Smith. He asked her to find quiet times in her life away from screens and devices to be...

 I may just be opening up myself to a bunch of judgment and criticisms with this post here but it is what it is. I've been thinking a lot about motherhood for the past few months. Most of my thinking stems from guilt I feel about my lack of mothering skills, in that I just don't seem to live for being a mom like so many other women I know. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids! But I also love my alone time, the time I have to work part time with other adults, and the time when all the kids are safely tucked in bed. Growing up I didn't dream about being a mom. I didn't like to babysit AT ALL! When it came time to start our family it really wasn't out of a longing desire to be parents (though I was excited for the new chapter in our lives), it was more about timing and that we'd been married a couple years and it just seemed like it was time to start a family. I'm not the super fun mom I always thought I would be, and my lack of "natural" capabil...
