We just got home from a Stoddard Family Reunion in Utah. We had a wonderful time seeing Mark's siblings and their families. It was especially fun to see all the cousins play together. One day we went to Lagoon. It was fun watching Brooklyn enjoy the rides or most of the rides. We probably took her on a few she wasn't quite ready for. We have never seen a look of fear on her face before. While in Utah we also went to Temple Square, Park City, and of course BYU! We were able to buy things we needed and can't get in South Dakota as well as get new BYU gear for the upcoming football season. Brooklyn had her 18 month checkup today and is very healthy. The dr. was surprised to find out she has never had a sick visit or an ear infection. Brooklyn is tall for her age, being in the 90th percentile for height. Brooklyn also learned to say "cow" last night, after reading her book about farm animals.
