Digital Scrapbooking.

I only have a minute to update! Everyone is good! LOL I have been playing with adobe photoshop elements 2.0 and have only made a couple of pages. The hardest part has been scanning all of my scrapbooking stuff into the computer and for some of the elements I have to carefully cut around. I have also downloaded some stuff too. But regardless, I am really having fun. It's inspiring me to take more pictures too!!

Imagine the last two side by side in an album.





I'll post some more as I make them. Thanks Melissa for inspiring me!!

I only have a second but here are the kid's Halloween outfits. Kizzy was a rainbow kitty, Zeke was Pikachu from pokemon (both of these costumes my mom made) and Maddy is a sheep. But Kizzy says she's Timmy from Timmy Time on disney channel. It's a cute show.

Family Pictures

As you can see we got family pictures done. It was alot of fun. We had Zeke's wonderful school aid Shannon Hill's daughter Britany take our pictures. Not only did she do a beautiful job she was super professional and had a million ideas! It was fun. We didn't get as many of Zeke that we wanted to, but you can't have everything.

I haven't written in over a month it has been so crazy. First off, TODAY MADDY IS 5 MONTHS OLD!!! I can't belive how big she is. It's almost Halloween again and I'm super excited to be able to take my kids trick or treating. Last year we had a sweet older gentleman in our ward hand out ice cream cones! How awesome is that! LOL

Maddy is doing awesome. She is growing like a weed. She is definetly more petite than my other two were at that age. Zeke was a chunky monkey and was long. Kizzy was about the same weight but much longer. I can't wait to see! She still has alot of hair, and it's still curly too. I'm not sure what to do with curly hair but it will be an adventure. She is very calm for the most part and is such a good girl. It's really funny cause most of the babies around here are born with no hair. People in the ward say she's the standard of hair. LOL

Kizzy is loving Kindergarten. She is such a social butterfly and really enjoys being around other kids. She is a big helper too, she loves helping with Maddy. To much in fact! LOL

Zeke has been doing well in school. I was thinking that he would have the same problems as last year with hitting and being agressive and he isn't. He is reading at 32 words per minute which is right on target for his age group. He is really trying to reach out and be with his peers. It's so exciting to see him grow.

Brig's been doing great. Still working hard at work and working hard at home. He loves working on cars. I wish I had something like that where I was passionate about it and could do it everyday.

I've been struggling with my depression again and have really had to work hard at keeping my head above water. I really have had to work hard to clean house. All I've wanted to do was climb back under my covers and stay there. But I am greatful for kids and for a wonderful husband who help me see my worth. I have been going to arobics and was doing wonderful at going untill this last week. I really just need to kick my own but and get there.

I really am greatful to a wonderful Heavenly Father who blesses me with a beautiful family and friends. I am truely greatful for His love and for his sacrifice for me.

Wild and Crazy!!

I don't know what happened to the last part of my last post? Oh well. I'm gonna just have to post more pictures!!

I can't believe how time flies. Maddy is 2 and 1/2 months old, Kizzy starts Kindergarten in 2 weeks and Zeke starts 1st grade in 2 weeks as well!!

So much has happened and I'm super behind, but here goes:

Brigham and Zeke went to a Father son campout in the end of June and Zeke fell and cut his eyebrow. What a fun phone call to get from your husband: Brig"Cori can you meet me at the hospital?" Cori "WHAT? Why what happened?" Brig "Oh, nothing Zeke just cut his eyebrow." Cori "What the heck did YOU do?" Brig "I didn't do anything I was watching him and he fell! I have whitnesses!!" LOL It is so funny to look back and see, not funny at the time. Here is a picture of the scab after the stitches were taken out.


My brother was here for several weeks and we played hard! Lots of Boggle, Risk, Farming Game, fishing and of course Wii.


When my mom came to pick Nate up, she stayed a week and sewed beautiful things for my kiddos! Kizzy got some new school skirts, Zeke got a new hoodie, Maddy has some new burp rags. She also is the master of Laundry and did several loads.

Brigham has been working on many cars and has been blessed a ton to have a good job that rewards good work. He gets to go to some small workshops again here soon.

You really forget all about how much work little ones are. I have been struggling to find the balance of home, family and self. I really struggle with my house. I have been so excited and proud of how clean I've been able to keep it and now that I have a little one that takes so much effort it has been falling behind. But then again what is more important? A Clean house or happy kids? I'm also struggling to balance time between the kids. Maddy requires so much and Zeke requires so much so Kizzy sometimes gets left behind. But things are slowly becoming more balanced.

gotta go crying baby but here are some fun pics.

Time Flies!!

WOW!! I can't believe that we've had Maddy in our lives for almost 9 weeks now!! We have really had a huge adjustment trying to balance everything. I'm just not use to one more person to have to get ready. Thankfully she is a wonderful and mellow girl.

We blessed Maddy over the 4th of July and had a ton of family here. We made soup and rolls for a dinner afterwards. I made chicken noodle and clam chowder (homemade) and my dad brought bean and bacon soup. It was great. Being so busy however I didn't get to eat either of the soups I'd made!! I was super dissappointed but you can always make soup again, you can't always see family!! Maddy's blessing was short and sweet, one part I loved was something about "you've come into a special family with a special spirit and special needs. You will grow into what your Heavenly Father wants you to be if you follow the spirit that each person in your family including your big brother, has." Now I don't remember word for word but this really hit a cord for me and made me feel wonderful. How awesome for Maddy to be reminded that she can learn from her brother.

My mom made Maddy this really long very pretty blessing dress. It was so amazing, she looked like an angel.

This is a picture of Maddy with her Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Anna. (Brig's Parents)

This picture is of Maddy with her Grandpa George and Grandma Marsha. (My Dad and Step mom)

This picture is of Maddy and her Grandma Shannon, Rich, Aunt Mandi, and Uncle Nate. (My Mom, her husband, my sister, and brother)

4 weeks old! What a busy time!

Maddy is officially 4 weeks old at 10:04 tonight. What a busy, busy 4 weeks. I had so much help that first week that the last 3 have been interesting! My mom came to visit shortly after Maddy was born and thankfully helped me finish a 2 cakes that were due the week she was due.


The first cake was for my niece Ariyah who loves horses and the second was for a 90th birthday party. The flowers on the second one are all hand made. Back to when my mom was here, I was so greatful to have someone hold Maddy while I worked. Boy it was tireing and hard but so worth it.


It was really fun getting to spend time with my mom and getting to talk with her. She also did all my laundry. I love her for that!! After she left my dad showed up. He didn't get to stay as long but boy he was wonderful. He cleaned my kitchen, played a ton with my kids, and then put in my garden for me!! I am totally greatful for that!




Maddy is such a good baby! Very Urpy as I like to say (she spits up alot!!) She is gaining weight very slowly and seems to have troubles keeping food down. So, I made an appoinment for tomorrow to see if she's gained anymore weight. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Brigham got called to the 11 year old scouts. He hasn't been set apart yet because he has to go through a ton of paperwork to get into boyscouts but he was able to go on a scout camp with the boys and absolutly loved it!! I'm super excited to have him be in scouts. It will be awesome to have him get to know the program before Zeke gets into scouts.

Sorry to post so short! Will update soon!!

What's in a Name?

Drum roll please!!! Maddilyn Gretta Burnett I think we will call her Maddy for short. Brigham and totally surprised me and fell in love with this name.

Baby Girl Burnett!!!

We have a new addition to the family!! A baby girl, 7lbs 13oz, 20 inches long. Born May 20th, 2010 at 10:04pm. We are still discussing names and we will announce that tomorrow! I went into the doctors office yesterday and my blood pressure was up and with a history of high blood pressure in pregnancy the doctor wanted to take the baby. So off to the hospital we went, Brigham left work in the middle of a job, and told them he would come back the next day to finish. We get the pitocen started and nothing. I couldn't feel anything, I was having contractions but nothing hurt or consistant. So from 12:30 pm to 5:30pm I was sitting watching a movie with Brigham and waiting. Brigham was laughing that he should have stayed at work and finished the job he was working on. But after the doctor broke my water at 5:30 (I was only dialated to a 2) things started to get moving. Within the hour I was dialated to a 7 and I requested an epidural. I wasn't planning on getting one but Brigham was an awesome coach and told me that I was starting to loose my focus and asked if I would rather be numb and coherent or numb and loopy (IV meds made me loopy with Kizzy) So choosing to be normal, we went with an epidural and I progressed quickly and but we started noticing baby struggling a bit with each contraction. Dr. Leavett said that the cord must be wrapped around baby's neck, so when I pushed I needed to hurry and get her here and then wait till he and Brigham could cut the cord. So Brigham got to cut the cord twice, once to get it off baby's neck and then again to cut it short. Way cool! I really enjoyed being not loopy this time, With Kizzy when they put her on my tummy I was grossed out, and with this baby I was in love! I just wanted to hold her and hold her. She is definetly a more laid back kiddo. She isn't as persistant (yet) for her food, she will go through 4 hour stretches before she wants to eat. She also has tons of hair and is so much fun.

Blessings come in leaps and bounds!!

What a busy month!! So much has happened! I'm so huge and pregnant but we'll go into that later!!

We got a new (new to us) van. We had gotten rid of the Kia so I could be a stay at home mom. So we have been driving a Blazer that Brigham and I overhauled, but it doesn't have enough room for 3 car seats. So we've been looking around for another vehicle, well, as things go we just couldn't find anything for a while. Then Brigham's Dad found us a van. Thank heavens my husband is a mechanic!! LOL It was a mess. Someone had sold it for scrap metal to one of Wayne's (Brig's Dad) friends, well the only thing wrong with the engine was supposedly the transmission. Brigham changed the fluid and the filter and the filter was clogged!! Since changing it, the van has been working great!! Well, the body however needs a little work. The windshield needs replacing, the passenger door handle needs replaced, the back hatch has a few dents and the back bumper will need replaced. The inside was awful!! They had a cat or something in there so there was hair everywhere. There was also rotting food under the seats and about an inch of mud on the floor. But with alot of work, a pressure washer, and a steam cleaner, Brigham and I got the inside cleaned out wonderfully! But this guy only wanted 200 dollars, and some scrap metal. We currently have 2 trucks on our property that Brigham was going to fix and hasn't and this guy wanted those. So not only am I getting a van but getting rid of 2 vehicles as well!! And speaking of getting rid of vehicles, Brigham also sold a metro for $800 so that money was helpful we are hopeing to sell the Blazer as quickly as this metro was sold.

Apparently we are the lesser of two evils. My brother-in-law and his wife were moving and needed to get rid of a couch. We are so hard on couches. We have been through 3 in 3 years. We currently have a red couch that someone in the ward gave us when they realized that we didn't have a couch. (I wasn't going to buy one and we can sit in chairs! But apparently if you don't have a couch you need one.) Our living room isn't very big and the couch from my brother-in-law is a big corner sectional. Well, my brother-in-law called me and said that they could either put the couch in storage and worry about mice and hobo spiders or he could let us have it. Apparently we are the lesser of two evils. LOL Zeke has been really enjoying this couch. It's really big and he can layout on it and not be bugged by anyone else. We do have a little bit of problem with jumping but he's been getting so much better in that department.

Zeke had a week of full day school. It was to test him on how much he could handle for next year. He did so wonderfully! He went to a 1st grade class and they were so great with him. The kids were understanding and loved to try to get him to play with them. His aide said she expected lots of problems and he sailed through it. I wanted him to get school lunch, I know that he would never eat any of it, but I wanted him to go through the line and get a tray. Another mom of a child with autism, gave me this idea: Zeke has to get a tray of food and sit with it for at least a couple of minutes and then if he doesn't want any of it he gets his sack lunch from home. I'm always going to pack the same thing so the school lunches will look more appealing, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, an apple, a granola bar, and a capri sun. He actually ate a few things off his tray a couple of the days. Like the corn chips that went with the chili (but didn't eat the chili) the fruit, a couple of bites of cinnamon roll, and a bite of a pizza pocket. At this point we are hoping to have Zeke go to full day school next year but we will see how he does in the summer time. One of my biggest concerns with having another baby was Zeke and lately his behaviors have been better, he will follow very simple commands, and because of wonderful IBI therapists he has an opinon. This is a wonderful and terrible thing, LOL, I have loved giving him choices and having him tell me yes or no, or telling me which one he wants. He also has been saying prayers with us, it isn't always easy to understand what he says but the attempt is there. We are hoping he continues to improve with the baby here.

Kizzy has been so awesome latly. She has been trying harder to help, and she has been working harder to be more independant. She loves to pick out her own clothes and they don't always match but she loves putting things together. She is also so excited to go to school this August. She keeps asking when she can go and how many days are left. We have been crossing the days off the calendar. Kizzy has also been trying to talk to the baby and gives it pictures she's colored and stickers that she places on my tummy. It's pretty funny to walk into the store or church with a sticker on my belly that I've forgotten to remove before I get there. Oh, well. We are it seems going to have to watch her with the baby. I'm a little worried that the little mommy will try to help to much! Hopefully this won't be a problem.

I have been really healthy! At my last appointment I was dialated to a 1 already. I'm hoping this continues so I can be dialated a ways before I go into labor. I noticed a difference between Zeke's labor and Kizzy's labor. With Zeke I was induced when I was dialated to a 4 almost 5 and his labor was hard yes but I moved into the transition stage faster. With Kizzy I was only dilated to a 1 when they induced me and it took forever to get to the transition stage. When I got there however it went fast but most of the labor was getting to that stage. So, I see the doctor again Thursday and I'm hoping to be dialated more. I have only gained 10 pounds this pregnacy, which is really great but being heavy to start with, this pregnancy has been hard on my body. I struggle with sleep because my hips start to scream around 2 am. It doesn't take much for me to over do it with my hips and I have to realax and take it easy. It's really frustrating because I want to clean things really well and can't. My house isn't really dirty but like right now the floor needs swept and mopped in the living room and kitchen, the playroom needs vacuumed and the dishes need done. But I will probably only get to sweeping before I need to sit down for a while then the dishes, then maybe the playroom, and if I'm lucky the mopping. It just feels like a big Wookie or monster came and pulled my legs out of their sockets and spread my hips out, kinda like everything is unhinged. But ya'know life goes on. If I take things slow I'm really good but when I try to do to much, then I'm hurting. Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who has been picking up the slack and hasn't been picking on me for whining either. He has been so wonderful this pregnancy we haven't had major fights or angry spouts like the last pregnancies. I think it helps that we have better communication this time. I let him know ahead of time when I'm feeling cranky or emotional and he tries harder not to start picking on me. Same with him, when he's had a hard day, he tells me so I can take it easy on him. It's been great.

We still don't have a name for this sweet little girl. We both love the name Kalli, but we really want a longer name like Elizabeth that could be shortened to Ellie, Beth, Liz, ect. We really think it's important to have options on nick names. When Brigham worked at TA in Boise he was teased because of his name. Most of the guys there were anti Mormon and he got the brunt of it because of his name. Really he could only go by Brig or Brigham, and his middle name is Wedekind so there wasn't anything there he could go by. Zeke and Kizzy have a ton of options with there names so if they ever get tired of being called by their nick names they have other options. I know we are silly but we will see when she gets here. She is quite the mover and shacker however, now that she's big and there's not alot of room, she has been kicking everyone and everything that pokes my tummy. She hates it when the counter or table or anything pokes my tummy and will move and kick, it's alot of fun. She also responds to Brigham's and Kizzy's voices.

Well, this post is getting way to long!! I'll come back and post pictures. I'll also post soon about our garden! I'm hoping to get it in before the baby gets here. We will have to see. I'll keep you all posted!!

New out look!!

So I've been struggling lately with feeling down and anxious all at the same time. I've been so tired with home therapy, house cleaning (have to keep the house clean so therapists can work with Zeke), plus it seems that we have had so many appointments lately that I just feel so busy! I know that feeling down has had a lot to do with being tired but it is discouraging to barely get 30 minutes of work done to then have to sit down and rest. I've been really watching my feet and hands because they have been swelling when I do to much. So Dang if I get alot done and Dang if I don't! LOL

I've been really anxious about the whole baby here soon thing. I have been consistantly measuring 1-2 weeks ahead of schedule but when I measured 3-4 weeks ahead this last time the doctor ordered an ultrasound. So next thursday I'm hoping to get a cute face shot of my cutie. I pray that she is just sitting high rather than being really big. I guess having her ahead of schedule would be okay, but I'd love it if she waited till Zeke's last week of school. I'm anxious because I worked at the hospital I delivered in with both kids, so I knew the policies and all the nurses, and in fact I picked my room with both kids (they were both born in the same room, cool huh!!) and I got to pick my nurse. So my nurse and I had discussed ahead of time what I wanted and they knew my birth plan. Which basically is I want to be told if they are going to "grope" any where, I want to be told everything that's going on: if my blood pressure is sky high let me know and I'll be a good girl and stay sitting or laying down, if the baby is in distress I want to know. I'm much more complient when I know what's going on. Also I am not against pain meds, in fact I love pain meds, I just don't want to not feel when I need to push (like my epidural with Zeke) or drugged up (like with the IV meds with Kizzy), This is going to really boil down to Brigham and me focusing on my breathing. I tend to not breath when I'm in pain, which in essence causes more pain. So Brigham is going to help me not hyperventalate this time. I still will have meds but I'm hoping for not a ton of them. I don't know why it makes me anxious this time to go to EIRMC, I guess it has a lot to do with control. I like to be in control of my little world. Oh, well maybe I'm suppose to learn something! LOL

So about my new outlook, I love Grey's Anatomy and this last episode Merideth's surgery was stolen by her husband and she was getting really upset about it. Another surgical resident told her "Be a Who" and she was confused. "Be like a Who in Whoville. When the Grinch stole Christmas, they came out and sang anyway. They didn't let Christmas being stolen ruin their day." (I paraphrased) But what a good outlook. So now my new thing is "Be Like a Who!"

30 weeks!

Thirty weeks!! YEAH!! I'm so excited to be done being pregnant! I'm not however ready to be sleep deprived and to go through labor. Oh, well. So here is an interesting thing about being pregnant, people you don't know seem to think it's okay to come and rub your belly. I mean it's not a terrible thing to have people address your tummy and talk to it but if I wasn't pregnant people wouldn't assume that it would be okay to rub my belly. Oh, well I think it's pretty funny.

Have a wedding cake order for April 17th. Six weeks before I'm due, Yes a little psycho but the extra money will be wonderful! I'll post pictures of it when I'm done.

How in the world??

We have been computer less for about a month! How in the world do people live without one?? I have had to go to my mother-in-laws to get my primary stuff done. Luckily she is a sweet heart and has let me use her printer. But I'm back in the swing of things but now have a ton of things to tell people!! LOL

We are hitting the 29 week mark on Thursday!! So only 11 more weeks to go. However, she is measuring about a week and a half ahead of the game. So either she is sitting high, a big baby or we have our due date wrong. I'm kinda hoping she will wait till her due date because it's Zeke's last day of school and I wouldn't have to worry about walking Zeke across the parking lot to school. This little kiddo is also an extremely active kid. I don't know if I just didn't know what to look for with the other pregnancies or if I was just working to much to notice but this kid seems so much more active! She's a stinker too! She seems to know when her daddy wants her to kick him and she quits moving. But as we get later in the pregnancy there is not very much room for her to hide from his hand. LOL So need less to say Brigham has finally started to feel her move around. I have been extremely tired lately and wondering if I'm getting enough good quality sleep. But then again who sleeps good when they are pregnant? I have also noticed my hands and feet have been swelling which is a little concerning but my blood pressure is down this time around. With Zeke and Kizzy, my blood pressure was scary high, so boo to the swollenness and yeah to the good blood pressure. The kids have been awesome with me being pregnant, we are still trying to teach Zeke that he can't climb all over me as much any more though.

Speaking of Zeke, he has been doing so great in school now that we have gotten rid of the aid that he had. Ms. Hill is an amazing woman. The behaviors that we had been having have pretty much dissapeared. It's so exciting. Since we are all concerned how next year will go since he will have a full day instead of a half day, he will be going for a full week in April to both kindergarten classes. So morning and afternoons. It will be interesting to see how he will do. So the plan hopefully for next year is that he will go to first grade in the morning since that is when they are working on reading and math (things he really excells at) then they want to only start with 1 or 2 days of full day but the afternoon will most likely be filled with a kindergarten class. The hope is that we can get him to tolerate a full day of school, so as he starts tolerateing it, they will add more days so that by the end of the year he will be going everyday full days. And if he tolerates it well sooner they will start intergrating him into the first grade class in the afternoon. So we will see. He most likely will have to repeat 1st grade, not for academics but for where he stands behaviorally and emotionally. We have also started having home therapy twice a week and boy is it hard! One big plus is that my house has to be clean, so I'm forced to work harder and force my family to take better care of the house. It's been interesting.

Kizzy is so ready for school!! She thought that when she turned 5 that she would get to go to school and was dissappointed when she had to wait till August. But she decided to get her ears peirced and has taken such good care of them. She also loves talking to "Her" baby. I'm sure that the baby is going to know Kizzy's voice when she's born. Kizzy also loves to pass out stickers to everyone (princess stickers) and passes one out to Brigham, Zeke, Me, and of course the baby. So, I get a ton of questions if I forget to take the sticker off when I go places.

Brigham just got back from 2 days of training on the Allison Transmitions in Salt Lake City. It's awesome to have him go and learn. It also is an eye opener of how much I depend on Brigham. It's amazing that we can complain that all our husbands to is come home and do nothing but when I'm doing all by myself I realize how much he does. So even though I miss him when he goes I also appreciate the reminder of how much he does. It's also good for him because he comes home missing me and the kids and really shows us he loves us too.

Emotional!

Is there a way of being pregnant without being an emotional mess? I am constantly tearing up over the stupidest(I know Kizzy we don't say that word! What a great way to not say naughty words, Just tell your 4 year old it's bad and she'll tell you off!) things. This morning I had a meeting with the school over Zeke's behaviors and I ended up crying! It wasn't even that bad of a meeting. But boy did I cry. I asked Brigham why I don't frustrate him this time like the last pregnancies. He was great and said, Well, we have been married for 7 years and I've come to realize that you aren't personally attacking me, just being emotional. Plus the last 2 time we hadn't even been married for 3 years yet. It's amazing to me how our points of veiw change the longer we are together. I have noticed though that I'm much more aware of how much he does for me when I'm pregnant. Instead of complianing that he doesn't do enough I am so aware of what he does for me. It's made this pregnancy less stressful for me and for him. YEAH!! So far I've lost 15 pounds but gained 5 back. I'm trying to keep it down, hopefully we can keep it down.

21 Weeks!!

Wow sorry it's been a while! Been having computer problems and internet problems. Well on to the great news!

It's a Girl!! Brigham and I found out yesterday that our little bundle of joy is a girl! I've kinda known from the start that it was a girl. A boy just didn't feel right. Well, she's 13 oz and seems to be healthy. They did a really intense ultrasound. I've never had on that lasted 30 minutes. They measured and checked her head, neck, chest, heart, kidneys, stomach, bladder, legs, ect. Since I have a child with autism they were extrememly careful to check for downsyndrome, spinal bifida, and other problems. The tech said that having one child with handicapps is hard enough so she would pray that this one is healthy. And boy, is she onry! The tech kept having to push down and dig around because baby kept moving! But she kept her back to us so we never got a good look at her face. Oh, well I guess we will be suprised. We did however get lots of rear end pictures!! LOL She was not shy or she was trying to tell us something?

I've always been told by doctors to never sleep on your back while pregnant so I've really struggled sleeping lately. My hips have been killing me trying to only stay on my sides. Well the doctor told me that there is no medical proof that sleeping on your back is harmful. However if I feel dizzy because the baby is pressing on veins causing lack of blood flow than the baby is feeling dizzy too. So he said to just be very aware of my body. So for the first time in weeks I got a great night sleep because I wasn't so confined to one side or the other. I didn't spend all night on my back but it was nice to be able to have more positions to sleep.

Kizzy is so excited for a baby girl! She wants to name it Ariel. And since most of her dolls are named that we have been able to talk her out of it so far. We'll see. Kizzy will turn five her in a few weeks. She's already planned what she wants for dinner. Hotdogs, jello, and french fries. (She is addicted to hot dogs. She would eat them three times a day if I let her!) It's really exciting and scary to have her be five aready! She will enter Kindergarten next year! It's just amazing.

Zeke just turned six and boy is he getting big. He was sick over his birthday as well as getting his six year old molars. I had no idea he was getting teeth but he put my finger in his mouth (normally a really bad idea!) and had me feel his teeth. I am so greatful he figured out a way of telling me where he was hurting! We had a great birthday dinner for him. We had pizza, jello, and pop. Then for dessert we had chocolate peanutbutter cup brownies. He loves them! We got trick candles as well and he really enjoyed those as well. He loves blowing out candles.

Brigham is doing great at work, his efficency level is about 98-100% lately which is a great thing. They are doing a 3 month bonus through out the year and they average your efficency for those months and give you accordingly. So being in the top 5% bracket will be great! I'm super stoked to go get things for the baby! Pink, pink and more pink! LOL
