Guessing Game

In honor of Brenna's 1st Birthday, here's a little guessing game. Below are 12 pictures of the birthday princess, one for each month of the year. Your task is to determine which picture was taken in which month. So, submit your guesses via email or blog comment. (I didn't number the pictures, but just pretend they are numbered top to bottom.)

a future Sir Neville Marriner?

Here's a delightful and impressive job of conducting by a 3-yr-old. He isn't just waving his arms, but clearly anticipates. I wonder if his Dad put headphones on his mother's belly, too? Be sure to watch until the end...

Scripture Stories

Me: "Lehi and his wife, Sariah, had four sons." Kaylee and Ashlyn, do you know the names of Lehi's sons?

Ashlyn: I know! Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego!

Me: That's a good guess. But what about Nnnnn . . .

Ashlyn: Nebuchadnezzar!

So let it be written...

So let it be done. A long-ago family tradition has been updated.

Merry Christmas one and all.



Bekah LOVED this song the first time she heard me talk about it and sing it. Since then we've been planning how to make it a happy tradition for ALL family members. :)
Some of the words may not be right, but we did our best to remember them all.

They’re creepy and they’re cooky,
Mysterious and spooky.
They’re altogether ookey,
The Burnett family.

Our dad likes his computer,
And he’s a trumpet tooter.
For what is he a rooter?
The Burnett family.

Our mom comes next, of courses,
She finally has horses.
But what she most endorses,
The Burnett family.

Duh, duh, duh, duh…neat!
Duh, duh, duh, duh…sweet!
Duh, duh, duh, duh,
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh…petite.

First we have our Nikki,
Her piano is tricky.
Her art is never icky.
The Burnett family.

Next we have our Russell,
In baseball he will hustle.
He’s more than brains and muscle.
The Burnett family.

Duh, duh, duh, duh…proud!
Duh, duh, duh, duh…endowed!
Duh, duh, duh, duh,
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh…too loud!

For laughs we go to Dougy,
Big smiles and a huggy.
His jokes will drive you buggy.
The Burnett family.

You’ll notice Angie’s smile.
She triple jumps a mile.
Adventure is her style.
The Burnett family.

Duh, duh, duh, duh…neat!
Duh, duh, duh, duh…sweet!
Duh, duh, duh, duh,
Duh, duh, duh, duh
Duh, duh, duh, duh…complete.

So get a bus to haul on,
A truck to fit y’all on,
We hope you’ll pay a call on,
The Burnett family.

The Burnett family.
