Feb. 2014 Love Life

I set the goal in January to start writing in my journal. I am just getting to my journal. I always feel so overwhelmed writing because I am so . behind. We have had a wonderful few months here. Brielle was brought to us and we love her so much. She is truly a joy in our home. She is a very content baby. I get emotional just talking about her because she is so kind. She crys a little when she is hungry but that is about it. After her food, she cues and smiles. I feel like she has so much to tell me. I often wish I could understand. I can feel her little spirit. She is so special. I know she has a mission. We blessed her on Sunday her blessing was so tender. We named her after Laurie. I loved Laurie so much and still miss her everyday. She was someone I could talk to, everyones friend. Full of charity and so gracious, sorry getting emotional so I will go on. It is an honor to have Brielle named after her. In her blessing it touched on this. It said you carry name of your grandmother who has passed, you possess some of her qualities as well as other grandparents. Brielle was blessed with Charity and unconditional love like grandma; a source of light (even in there darkest times you will seek them out.) Non-judgemental (help them improve there lives; enjoy life have joy in life. Strong in gospel & strong testimony; Temple and be sealed. Brielle we love you I can already feel some of these traits from you. Kameron said today (Thursday) mom I could feel the spirit when we blessed Brielle. I haven't told everyone but I could feel it. Like the whole family. I know he felt it. I could feel it to. We finished off the blessing with a luncheon. It was perfect. I really wanted to be the morning to be about the blessing and not getting ready for the luncheon. So everything was ready to go Saturday. *Dave and I are having a great year so far. Dave gave me envelopes with individual dates in them. So at the first of each month I get to open an envelope and find out a special date for the month. Yeah me. I love it January we went to the Celtic River Dance., and tomorrow we go to a basketball game. It makes me feel like an 8 cow women. I love it. Dave has built fires almost everyday this winter. I love to watch him chop wood. Brianna, Naomi and him go out and chop about weekly he looks hot. Naomi drives her car around and Brianna puts the log on and stacks it. They listen to music it is so great. I tried chopping a piece with an ax. It is so hard. Great challenge for everyone out there. Brianna teases Dave about his strength. Holy cow no teasing he is strong, that is hard stuff. Work is going good. I am grateful for the priesthood and that he could bless our baby. It is always so special to hear him use his priesthood. Dave stays busy in his callings. I think he likes his meetings, because even if one person shows up to meeting he seems to stay and visit. There are some great people in our ward can't blame him. As a family we have a scripture reading goal. Dave or I read with Kyle at 6 a.m. he is trying to read the scriptures. We have also gone on a couple of dates with mom and dad the past couple of months to the Chinese acrobats and a basketball game. We spent the night down there it was so fun. *Brianna has really been fun. She loves the baby and helps me a ton when she isn't busy with 5000 things. She is excelling in piano, already on easy hymns and has only taken for a little over a year. She has found two things she really enjoys School plays and volleyball. She is currently rehearsing for a play called night of the living Cryonic dead. She is one of the main people playing a girl scout leader with red hair. She gets to do with with her friend Savanah so that is pretty fun. She will start club volleyball in just a couple of weeks. I have loved her attitude. She is all about being confident and being yourself. she has lots of friend and is so fun to be around. She is bueatiful. I love playing Racko or just hanging out with her. *Kyle just finished his science project for 3rd graders. He is engineered minded. So for his birthday he got a Thames & Kosmo's kit that turns air and power into power. He loves this kind of thing. Dave and him spent 2 hours building a cutter that ran by water and air. There are 10 different things he can build. He will love it. For his birthday he got like 6 different lego sets. He is so good at reading the directions and putting them together. It impresses me. I am excited for this trait he will help me put things together. He also has built a couple of things down at grandpa's lately like a hamster cage holder. He is in a tinkering class. He just loves to figure out how things work and how to build them. Way fun. He is getting so good at his reading and has the goal to finish the book of Mormon this year. He has lots of friends and is enjoying our ward. His birthday party was a blast we had an ice cream bar with different toppings (smarties, candy rocks, gummy bears, red hots, candy corn, animal cookies, chocolate pretzels) he choose the toppings. The kids loved it. They played plinko, pop the balloons, built lego cars gave each kid a sack with a cup of legos and let them build. Then we raced the cars and lastely we dropped legos from the banister onto big lego pieces of paper and kept score. It was pretty fun. Kyle, Dave and grandpa built a killer pinewood derby car this year and we won. It was so exciting. Kyle loves Boise state so we designed the car as a boise state football car. Last year our car was a very cool shark but it didn't race good. So this year we set on the stage to watch the races. We were about the only one on the stage. I wanted to jump up and do a cheerleading move eveytime Kyle raced and his car one. But felt like I needed to show composure so I clapped, but man I was excited for him. All of the kids did great. Kyles fastest time was somewhere around 185 miles per hour. Awesome Dave and Kyle! If Dave wasn't such a great lawyer, he probably could have gone into engineering. He and Kyle are already excited for next years race. Finally I have been proud of Kyle he opens my door and takes good care of me. *Kameron is just doing fantastic in Kindergarten. I think he really likes it. He has some great little friends and went to two birthday parties this weekend. He loves to pick out the presents for the birthday parties. He picked out and make your own airplane for one kid, and the other mom picked out because Kameron wasn't around. He is very thoughtful and I love when family members birthdays come up because I will ask him what he loves about that person and he will just start listing reasons. The greatest part is that each reason is very specific to that person. He really knows why he loves each person individually. He can't wait for his birthday (which isn't until November) and now that the snow has melted he can't wait to go camping and planting the garden. He loves his pumpkins. The other day I was proud of him. We had shells and cheese for dinner and it was hot without being asked he went over to the freezer and got a big glass of ice. He came back and said who needs ice to cool down there dinner. It was so thoughtful. What a kid. He is in love with popsicles the other day dave took him on a date and Kameron didn't understand the concept of getting an ice cream and going upstairs in browlimns to eat it with dad. (he has done it before) all he wanted to do was get popsicles for the whole family. He is also a little gentlemen and holds the door open for people when we go to church. What a cute kid. He has gotten really huggy lately and I love it. *Naomi- is my little free spirit. She loves to wear her princess outfits and loves when her friends come over. (She has decided that underwear is not necessary for some strange reason) and I often have to remind her to go get it on. (like I said she is a free spirit). She loves to have her hair done as soon as she gets up, but as soon as we come home from the stores for the day she takes it out. Yesterday she got a princess game, one that she was suppose to get for her birthday but never came. Anyways she spent the afternoon dressing up Dave and I with crowns, braclets and rings from her game. We just sat on the couch and watched our show as she dressed us up. It made me laugh. Today she tried to put on makeup blue eyeshadow and bright pink lipstick to wear to church. She loves her breakfast, actually right now she loves breakfast around 7 then again at 9. She sings all the time and loves to put on shows in the living room. Also this week we let her paint her own fingernails. She spent quite a few minutes in the bathroom putting on a color then wiping it off with a towel we gave her. Oh man does she love her nails painted. Shells and Cheese are one of her favorite meals so the other day she helped me cook them, set the table and couldn't wait the 20 minutes they had to boil. We praised her for her cooking abilities. She also is a gentlemen at times and if she doesn't open the door for us then she says we have to wait for a gentlemen so cute. Love her to pieces.

less effective parents!

I have heard you are officially a terrible parent when you have forgotten one of your children and left them stranded somewhere. Well, we can now say we have arrived! Yesterday we accidentally left Kyle at our new home construction site. Story-Melanie and I arrived in seperate vehicles. Kyle apparently went to play on the dirthill behind the house while Melanie and I went insdie to check the progress. After checking things over,I had to leave earlier than she did to go pick up Brianna from gymnastics. So I left Melanie inside the house and assumed she would bring Kyle with her when she came. Melanie eventually got in her car to leave and noted that Kyle was not there and assumed I had taken him with me. (He was actually still playing, but was behind the dirthill where we couldn't see him). Melanie and I eventually both arrived home and Brianna said, "Where's Kyle?" We both realized we had left him. Right about that same time my phone rang. It was one of our friends out by our new house. She informed us that someone in the subdivision noticed Kyle walking, he was crying and in distress. She asked who his parents were and she knew our friend and took him to her house until we could get there. Our friend took good care of him, letting him watch tv and eat a brownie.

Upon arriving I gave Kyle a big hug and told him it was all his mom's fault and that I would never do something like that. Of course I was joking and just hugged him for a bit and told him we were sorry. What a terrible feeling leaving child. At any rate we are very thankful to our friend in our subdivision and the lady that picked him up (who is also in our new ward). Things could have been much much worse as he was intent on walking home which is about 4-5 miles away on some busy roads.

It also made me reflect on other times I or my siblings got left behind. Dan got lost at disneyland and as a result had to wear a leash-lol, hilarious.

Mark informs me he got left at a mccdonalds in Pocatello but only walked a block or two until mom and dad picked him up. This is actually amazing if this was the only time as Mark was prone to wandering off.

I got left at Caesar's Palace, but don't remember it much. I think my parents figured it out really fast.

Anyway, we are glad Kyle was ok and loved our kids a lot, just don't rely on us to remember to bring you home.

Jason did you ever get left or lost?

We Love Grandpa Brown

Here's some memories from the kids.

Kyle- Grandpa Brown, plays with me and he doesn't care if I ask him for treats. He had my favorite peanuts in his car. When I go camping with our family, it reminds me that we went camping with him. I loved it when he would take us to garage sales. I miss buck cause he wouldn't run away when I petted him. I remember grandpa letting me cut his fingernails in church.

Brianna- Sometimes he had licorice in his kitchen; garage sales; he would take us camping; he bought a motorhome, but then it was to big, and so he bought a little camp trailer just to be comfortable for grandma. (Dave says that was hillarious he went through 3 camp trailers that summer.) He would usually fix bike tires, cars,etc.
He would take us to Rex's and buy us slim jims. He would take us to Thornton Merc and make sure I got a milkshake along with hamburgers and fries. One time they took me on a trip somewhere. I remember grandpa cutting his fingernails in church. I liked going to their house cause they always had good food.

Kameron-I like when he played with me. I liked going in the wagon visit grandpa and riding the lawnmower.

Dennis Brown Loved by all

I really have to get myself geared up to be able to write about Dennis and Laurie, I was way to emotional to do it on January 14th but I am going to try to do it tonight through the tears and also the laughter while I think about Dennis. To say that I love Dennis and adored him is an understatment. He was one of the greatest men I ever knew. I looked forward almost daily to seeing him. He reminds me so much of my wonderful husband that I just adored him and thought he walked on water. I don't know were to start with stories so I will just start writing. Dennis had a respect for me that was really heart felt. I mean who else would move a wall, take a rocking chair upstairs in the paint shop to just see if it would fit in the apartment and then take it back to his house, put up with my side hugs when they where in his space and let us live with him 3 different times. His dry sense of humor and hummmmmm, always made me laugh. I want to share some things I remember the last year of his life though. In January Naomi was born and he would come over almost daily to see her. On some occasions he would just do a drive by because he did not want to have to come in while my sisters and mom was there. So I would call him and he would say I was just checking. But other times he did not care who was there he wanted to see and hold her. He took tons of pictures of her so he could show her off to everyone in the bank. It made me laugh. He would show up quite often at our house with a few bags of chips and throw them on the couch. It was usually around 8 in the morning so I was not dressed. I would go jumping acrost the kitchen like a deer in headlights and he would say just dropping off something I got on a good deal. It would make my day. After Laurie and him would go to Chemo I would find a half eaten pizza on my table or Laurie's left over steak from applebees. Because Dennis knew I loved steak. He would come over all of the time in the evening after the kids had been tucked in bed. They would hear his voice and come running up the stairs just to see there grandpa. He loved them so much, and they loved him. He would always come and get the boys when it was time to mow the lawn and return them after he had mowed his and then ours. One day my washer overflowed and I called Dennis at the bank. (Not expecting him to show up within 5 minutes) but he was there fixing the problem immediately. I think he even cut his finger that time and had to go get stitches. But he didn't complain he was just glad to help. When I fell out of love with my dog checkers. Dennis offered to take him which was very generous until we got him back. The thing that made me laugh though after Dennis took him is that he showed up to our house with a stove he had found that was a good deal ( because two of my burners weren't working). I remember him sitting outside of the house with the stove in the little trailer. He said I found you a stove, it is payment for checkers. I was like Dennis you do not need to pay us for checkers. He laughed and then opened the bottom drawer of the stove and said hey kids I think the owners left some cheetos in here. Dennis had filled the drawer with little bags of cheetos because he found out how much my kids loved them.It was so great and reminds me of how thoughtful and kind he was. He was so selfless, one night Dave's fishtanks had overflowed and we found out in the middle of the night, so we called him to see if we could pull the carpet up. We did not expect him to show up, but he was there in minutes. Another time was when Dave and I lived with him in Rexburg, we got an apartment and needed to move. So Dave, Dennis and I jumped in the van and went to moscow to move us over the weekend. I throw up most of the drive and he had a great time teasing me. He would not let me lift a box when we got up there, just pack the stuff because I was pregnant. He loved my kids so much and it is something that I will be eternally grateful for. Kyle and Kameron played hop on grandpop all the time. He was extremely patient with them and didn't seem to mind a bit that they were climbing all over him. In fact I think he liked it. He enjoyed feeding them things like mountain dew, chips, pickles, bacon and etc. He fixed bike tires and would come to the church parking lot often to watch the kids drive the go kart he found for them. We all loved to wake up some Saturday mornings and go garage saleing with him. Dennis was just an incredible man an has left us an amazing legacy to live up to. He cared for Laurie unconditionally, and would do anything in his power to keep her alive. He wanted to be her cargiver in the end, he would not let anyone else take her to doctor appointments, and so much more. He had a whole slew of vitamins and protein drinks that he would give her. I found out that the doctors did not proscribe to her. He loved her and she loved him. They were such a bueatiful couple. As I think back on about the last month he was alive some vivid images come to mind. One day Kyle was helping grandpa hook up a trailer and something happened. All I remember is that Dennis was so patient, and perfect in the way he handled things. I remember thinking wow I need to be more like Dennis with my kids. I almost felt like he was extra patient and understanding the last couple of months. There was something extra special about him the last little while that I have thought of often but can't explain. But overall I am so blessed to have known him and to be married to his posterity. I love him so much. He has always been nothing but wonderful, respectful, serviceful and kind to me. I miss our our talks in the back yard, and downstairs while he was eating lays and drinking pop with his feet up in the recliner. I am so glad he was born. I hope to be with him again someday. Love always Melanie

Awesomest mom ever!

We wanted to take today and write a little about grandma. We watched the video that was made for her funeral and asked the kids to share some thoughts about Grandma.

Brianna-misses having fun laughing moments with grandma, garage sales, she was very creative, and talking with her, buying her twisters, sleepovers, sewing pillowcases for my dad and grandpa, going to chemo with grandma (grandma would pack a bag for us to take with treats like mcdonalds cookies), bought me the fairybook series books and we read it together, go to her house and play computer.

Kyle-misses grandma because she used to give me thomas trains, and she would read to me, when she was in a wheelchair she used to let me push her around, I spy with the dragon, sleepovers

Kam-loves grandma because she gave me an awesome water toy

Dave-The last few days I have had an opportunity to reflect about mom. She was the greatest mom and woman ever. After I finished school in Moscow, I didn't have a job and Melanie and I struggled to figure out what our next move was. After prayer and all that good stuff we ended up moving into Melanie's parents home while they were on a mission. Then shortly after that, dad began talking about a house in Rigby that could be redone. Initially dad was going to make the house a rental but then began suggesting that Mel and I could live there. I remember one day I found out that had I passed the bar, got a job offer, and decided to do the house with dad all in the same day. With the way the last few years have gone, I have no doubt in my mind that it was the correct course for us. We got to do so much with mom and dad-I am grateful that things transpired the way they did so we were able to have that time. Of course selfishly I wish there would have been more time, but I am so thankful for the time we did have. Our family got so used to walking over pulling the wagon, going in the door by the garage and hear mom say "Who's comin?" They loved anytime we showed up no matter what they were doing. They always stopped and talked and played with us.

Although It was emotional is was also fun to watch the video that was made for her funeral. Yesterday which was one year since she passed, we were celebrating Kyle's birthday a little early because I have to work late on his real birthday, I couldn't help but think if mom were here she would be partying right there with us and I know she was smiling down on us.

A few of my favorite things-One of my favorite stories is the one I shared at her funeral-she collected baseball cards with me even though she didn't enjoy them just to find a connection with me. That meant so much to me.

When she kicked Dan in the butt when he used his sock to wipe spilled milk on the floor.

When she used to write me letters or call just for the heck of it. I have gone through my missionary years and now cherish her letters so much. They didn't seem like a special thing at the time, but they do now.

Her listening ear.

That she would buy me fish ornaments for the Christmas tree.

Her mashed potatoes.

Still amazing to me in all her pain when she was sick, she never ever complained-unbelievable.

I miss how dad would come home with a new car or purchase without discussing it with mom and mom saying "that's news to me." but never getting mad at dad for it.

Her huge homemade soup pan.

Her Christmas punch.

I miss how much she loved my kids.

There's so much more, but this will have to do for now. I love you mom and am glad you and dad are together even though I hurt sometimes and miss you both. Dave

Melanie-will be posting tonight or tomorrow this is all we had time for right now.

Christmas Time

I love this time of year. It is so wonderful, everyone is filled with joy. Except for people in the return line at Walmart. Besides that people are pretty great. I have to ad though that I miss Laurie and Dennis even more this time of year. I have chocked up quite a few times thinking about them. I miss going over to there house, going to see Christmas light with them, Dennis handing us our Christmas money down the sacrament bench, right in the middle of the sacrament. He did this the past couple of years and had a big grin on his face both times. I guess I just miss spending the holidays with them in general. I went to visit aunt Fay yesterday, her comment was does it get any easier. She shared some stories of Laurie's younger years with Brianna and I and of course showered my Children with gifts. It only makes you miss Laurie more because aunt Fay is so wonderful just like Laurie was to everyone. Kyle called her grandma. It was extra special this month when all of the Brown boys got together. We miss Mark and Suzy's family so much so it was so fun to have Mark here at least. The boys really had a great time and I think it should be a tradition. I really appreciated all of the wives giving up there weekend so the boys could be together. On to the kids

Naomi- still runs around without clothes. She is not concerned about the snow outside. She can get her own coat and boots on when it is time to go; so who needs clothes. Tonight I was wrapping presents with the kids in the back and she decided to start unwrapping a couple under the tree. She unwrapped a dolly that grandma Brown and I bought 3 years ago. She loves it. I told her it was for her on Christmas we wrapped it back up together and then she set on the package for a better part of the night and said Na's baby. She loves to pester Kam. She sings with me when I play the piano. Every morning when she wakes up she wants her blankie aunt Farrah made when she was born, her sippy, and a cartoon on. She usually has a hope in her step and says happy a lot. Love it. Naomi also wants to participate in anything we are doing.

Kameron- Has not been feeling really well this week so he has watched a lot of diego. Today we were watching it together and he sang every song. At preschool he got to see Santa. He loved that. The other day I went to the grocery store and only had enough cash in my wallet to get the things on my list. Well he wanted popscicles because we were out and the kids eat them in the bath tub. I told him next time we go to the store he can get popscicles. So a couple of days latter we go to Broulims and the first thing he said when we pull up is yeah popscicles. He has a mind like a hawk. He loves to work on his preschool book and does a great job at it. I was having him do it while I was getting ready the other. I was very impressed. He is not the greatest eater but we are trying to work on it. He pretty much only likes toast, bannanas, peanut butter, bacon, corn dog skin. Such a fun little boy. He brings me joy.

Kyle- has been extra excited this month, because there is an elf at our house, her name is Mrs. Peeps. She hides at night and every morning when Kyle wakes up he goes to find her. She reports back to Santa. I have to say Kyle has been so good this month. He works so hard at his reading and is doing great. I love his desire to keep practicing. Whenever we go out to the house, he wants to get out of the car immediately. He is so excited. But the thing he wants the most with the house is a laundry chute in his room. We are seeing if we can get that to work. A couple of weeks ago he built an awesome book holder with grandpa Carlson for Brianna. I have to say he has a huge heart and loves to share. After Halloween I would ask the kids for a treat, Kam would say no, Brianna would say maybe one, Kyle would say take a handful mom. This is definately one of his gifts. He really does have a huge heart.

Brianna- loves to play the old school nintendo and WII with dad. I am not great at the games so it is really a dad and Brianna thing. She is getting old enough to watch the kids for a little bit. She is really responsible for her age. She always has been. She is growing up to fast. In fact today she was playing with the kids in toys r us and riding lets just say a little kids bike. I told her I was glad to see her on it because I don't want her to grow up so fast. She has an incredible singing voice. I love to hear her sing her pitch is so perfect. Her and I get to sing in Primary in a couple of weeks. She continues to be extra creative playing spy games with the kids and creating awesome houses for all of the kids to play in. She is so smart in school and continues to excel there. I just love having her around, she is my friend.

Dave- I love the man a ton. What can I say. His biggest accomplishment of the month was getting the fish tank and air hockey table lowered into our basement. I think it was a burden off his shoulder. He was very smart about doing it to. He got the hockey table up on two jacks and then tried to drive the yellow trailer under it. I love him tons. His work continues to grow and the people that hire him always have great things to say about him. I love reading the reviews on google. The other day he came home with a fish themed gift basket. It was from one his clients thanking him. It said that they were so glad they hired him' and they appreciated how personable and proffesional he was and that he gave them 100%. I love that Dave takes his work so serious. This kind of stuff always makes a wife feel good. Anyways all is well in our family. Merry Christmas

Life is going great!

Just time to drop another blog. I have to say that we are feeling so blessed lately. We live in a wonderful ward, great neighborhood, good school for the kids and are have great family. The Lord is definately blessing us. The house has the footings poured and they are suppose to be building the cement walls today, crazy. It has been intresting how it has all started to come together the last couple of weeks. So I will start to write about the kids

Naomi- Still hates her clothes, will wear them if we are going somewhere she would not want to miss the party. But the second we step into the house she expresses her independance by ripping them off. She is so funny. Last week they were watching Calliou and I decided to go take a bath since that doesn't happen very often during the day. I got in the bath and I heard something break. She had thrown the remote control on her bowl of cereal and shattered the bowl. So I cleaned it up and went back to the bath. She followed me ripped off her diaper and jumped in with me. I thought wait I did not invite you, less then two seconds later she peed on me. We both got right out of the bath. It is bueatiful being a mother it makes me laugh. Bath time for me will have to be after the kids go to bed. She is talking a lot. She says bye daddy, and night night mommy, and all sorts of words. Sometimes she just starts saying a whole bunch of sounds I just smile nod my head and say yes.

Kameron- is my big helper. He does whatever I do during the day. If I make cookies he is right there on the counter pouring the ingredients in, he has to put the milk in the shopping cart and he just helps a lot. So the other day him and I were folding laundry and he told me he was going to get the hangers out of his closet so I could hang up the kid's clothes. I went to check on him and to my suprise he had gotten the hangers. He would take down the hangers that allready had clothes on them and pull the clothes off. It was kind of funny, but created a little more work. He was so excited for Halloween he could not stand it. He got this big old pumpkin bucket at a garage sale and he put it under his bed. He kept asking when we were going to go fill it with lots of candy. He loved halloween and can't wait for next year when we go trick or treating and fill our pumpkins again.

Kyle- got a huge pumpkin this year it was 28 lbs. He was way excited. When it came time to carve it, he did it all by himself. He loved it, he gutted it and cut out the face. We were proud of him. Last week Brianna and him helped me paint a chested drawers for her room. Kyle was in charge of sanding the old stuff off. He loved that job and rocked at it. I was so fun to watch him with tools. He and Kameron spent lots of time outside in the snow. They filled up the swimming pool and made a snow box and then built a snowman. Kyle is creative and so fun to watch. He is also one handsome man and he has lots of friends.

Brianna-had a great time with Halloween. She found a movie star costume and looked so bueatiful. She did her hair curly and really dressed the outfit up with jewelry. We had such an awesome time trick or treating. First we went to Farrah and Dougs neighborhood which was awesome. Then Dave went home with the two little ones and Kyle Brianna and I went out in the country. It rocked. At the first house they got a big candy bar. We were all so excited. The other houses were fun to most of them gave out 2-3 little candy bars and one gave a pop. They came home and sorted out there candy. It was so fun to watch there excitement. I got to go to Brianna and Kyles classroom for there parties, they helped me create the games. Brianna has lots of friends. She can read from 4-6 grade books. She got the love of reading from Grandma Brown. She reads her scriptures every night we continue to be so proud of her. She still loves to play barbies and creates these awesome rooms, it really impresses me. Dave and I have been called to be her primary teacher, I love teaching my kids primary classes it is the best calling in the world.

Dave has implemented a great routine before bed. They have 5-7 minutes to get ready for bed and then we sparkle the living room and do dishes together, then read scriptures and go to bed. Love it.
