We have had lots happening here in the Atkinson household! I have a minute to sit down and try and catch up while I can. So lets get up to speed shall we?

Two Sundays ago Brinly was blessed. We were among the 3 babies getting blessed so our Sacrament was super crowded and super busy! I made Brinly's dress. I found a dress on Pinterest I was obsessed with and contacted the girl who created a pattern for me to test out. Luckily, I got it finished! It only took me 2 months with all the interruptions. Because Brinly came 10 days early I had to figure out how to juggle 2 kids and a time to sew. Who knew it could be so busy?! Anyway, the dress was a success and I love it! Even with all my newbie skills!
We had a luncheon afterward with our family who came and it too was a success! We had great weather and great company!

| Auntie Megan! |
Then the next day Megan came up to stay 4 days with me! I was counting down the days like I was counting down Christmas. See Miss Megan and I have had chances to spend a couple hours together here and there, but we haven't spent 4 days together since I my 18th birthday when I went to see her in Vegas! Like forever ago! Trev was gone for the week and so she brought her cute little man up to keep me company, and lets face it, remind me to eat! Although we spent all day together, it wasn't until Wednesday night, that she and I had some time to sit and talk like ole times. We were up too long, crying, laughing, and reminiscing about our past and dreams of the future. We seriously said, "K we need to go to bed...oh wait, one more thing!" like 5 times. Since we can't settle for being Sister Wives, cause thats kinda crazy, I'll settle for being neighbors! :) It was so great to have someone who could watch the kids while I ran out real quick, or someone to make dinner, and my favorite, "Have you eaten today? Can I make you something?" See, I figured out why Ryker is such an awful eater...its totally my fault. I know I don't look like it, but I just really struggle eating. I am so busy between here and there, and it completely slips my mind. So I'm trying to remember to eat which I think will help Ryker too.

I had to put Brinly back in her dress because we didn't get very many pics of her in it.
 |
| This is what we call the Ryker face. |
 |
| Look at that double chin! Sorry little one, you get that from me! |
 |
| So kissable!! |

2 Months!! (and this flower looks way bigger in these
photos than it actually is, or I'm in denial) |
So I know I said I've been busy, and I have, but I can't even remember now what I was doing. Holy Smokes time just goes by too fast. Brinly is 2 months today and growing so well. She is a pretty good sleeper, unlike her adorable brother.
Ryker is so smart and is also getting so tall! He can identify most of the alphabet and the other day, read me (from memory) his night time story. I was shocked!! and I loved every minute!! He is still a picky eater, and I'm glad to see that your kids are on a cookie diet as well! :)
Trevor is more than half way through the semester and only has 5 weeks left! He got all A's again the last block and is continuing to do really well the second block. He registered for his last semester and also applied for graduation, ordered his cap and gown, and we are looking forward to being done here! Then onto the next step of the unknown!!
I have started to jog again, and its been really medicating to see myself accomplish things. I am not in the middle of a craft project and I don't really know what I want to do next, so I'm just laying low and enjoying my time with the kiddies. The office is keeping me busy as its that time again for renewals and contract signings...which I feel is never ending! Other than that, we're excited summer is here!!
