BYUI Mothering

My brother Daniel just came to Idaho. He was staying with us and has started attending BYUI! I feel like I am basically raising a teenager. He even calls me Mom sometimes. It makes me laugh. Since I know all the ins and outs of Rexburg and BYUI, he has a lot of questions and so I get a lot of calls. I don't mind. I am glad to be here for him and help him out. I had NO ONE when I came. And it feels SO good to be doing what I wish someone was able to do for me. But in the long run it made me all the stronger, and I am grateful for it.

So for the last couple weeks:

We have done some of this....

Moving him into his apartment and setting him all up,
I was very particular. So I think Daniel really did feel like
 I was Mom most of the time!

And some of that....

Okay really shopping for groceries, apartment items,
 school supplies, and clothes made up the majority of our "fun"!

And a whole lot of this!

Walking around BYUI campus! Walking, walking, walking.
8 Months pregnant and totally capable, yes I am pretty much amazing. 

We also spent the weekend of Sept. 11th having a celebration for his 18th BIRTHDAY!

Imagine the 8 to go along with the 1, we only
had a one left over from Connor's first birthday!

Yummy GOURMET cupcakes, from the Cocoa Bean Cafe!

Love you Daniel, and happy we could help you while you adjust to the CRAZY COLLEGE LIFE!
