Here are some of the things that Bronwyn loves, and things that we love about Bronwyn!
Anyone who is close to Bronwyn knows how much she values her sleep! When 9:00 rolls around, (seems to come all to quick sometimes) we can’t expect to have much interaction with the B. But I am slowly learning over the years that when she does get her 8 hours, she is a lot happier and full of energy the next day. And I love seeing her like that. I for one could learn a lot from her very normal and mature sleeping habits.
I really hope this picture doesn't embarrass her TOO BAD, because it really just says it all.

B loves and collects Rubber Duckies! This seems to me like the perfect and obvious thing that B would like. They are bright yellow and cute, they remind us all of child like innocence, and they are a symbol of cleanliness. B, B, and more B.
Bronwyn loves The Office! I must say, when she watches it, she can’t get enough. It is no surprise when I find that she has watched a whole season in 1 or 2 days. She particularly loves the character Kevin. She always gets the biggest smile on her face and says, “he is just so cute”
This is Kevin.

Bronwyn loves being smart when in comes to finances and saving money. She graduated last year with an Associates in Business Administration and works as a loan officer. She really enjoys her job and always has crazy stories (never mentioning any names) about people who don’t handle their money well. Aren’t you all glad I married someone like that!? I would be a total disaster without her in my life.
Bronwyn loves swimming! She was on the swim team in High School and enjoyed it very much. It’s fun to hear her talk about how much she loves the smell and taste of chlorine! She also loves the feeling of having water in her ears, and the release hours later when it drains out. She even likes having chlorinated water up her nose. Weird eh?
Bronwyn loves all things French! She spent a year in France during high school as a foreign exchange student. She loves the people she lived with and met while in France, and still corresponds with them on face book and through letters. She learned the language very well and still speaks it fluently. Which brings us to something else she loves...
Learning languages! She picked up French exceptionally fast while living there, and realized she had a talent for languages. The main reason she went to school for business is because her ultimate goal is to be a translator for world businesses. Her next attack will be to learn the language that has more native speakers than any other... Mandarin Chinese. (which some claim is the hardest to learn after english) Good luck in your pursuit B! Better you than me!
B loves the Rolling Stones! She has lots of childhood memories involving her and her Dad and their shared love of the Rolling Stones music. She gets pretty excited when we listen to them and loves to sing along to such favorites as: Under My Thumb, Get Off My Cloud, and Angie. Just to name a few. Speaking of Few...
She loves Matt Wright! Since I am doing this post, it is a little awkward for me to say what she loves about me, but I can say that she proves her love for me every day as she listens to me (endless talking sometimes), treats me so well, laughs at my weirdness, supports my crazy idea’s, very patient and kind when I really don’t deserve it, and works so hard while I am going to school and trying to get this business paid for.
Bronwyn loves Pudding! 'Nuf said.
Bronwyn loves the LDS church! Some of you might not know that Bronwyn is a convert to the LDS church as of about 4 years ago. She found the church while she was dealing with some struggles in her life and it really was a big help for her. She had been looking for a church for quite a while before finding what she was looking for. She is so happy that she has found direction and purpose to her life, and loves learning more and more about The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Bronwyn loves holding, staring at, rocking, smelling, talking to, and taking care of babies! Bronwyn and I are both really looking forward to having our own one day.... Yup.
Bronwyn, you are a wonderful addition to our family and we all love having you around. Your smile is infectious and your Disney like charm makes us all a little happier. You really look up to everyone around you and will do anything to not let someone down. Thanks for everything!
Happy Birthday!
Love you!! Kisses!!!!

Great post Matt! Happy Birthday Aunt B, we love you! LOVE the sleeping picture!
Great post. So cute. Except chlorine Kevin. Yuck on both!
Happy birthday, Sweetums, B. You deserve the best of days ever and I hope the memories with Matt and us here close to you last for ever and ever. Thanks for putting up with your crude father-in-law and showing thoughtfulness and love even. Cute pic of you sleeping in your jammies. Nice job Matt. Nice job for finding Bronwyn and bringing her into our family, I mean.
wv is rerne. hahaha Matt, I got your name.
Happy Birthday B!!
Wow! There were quite a few things on this post that I didn't know about you. Weird about your love of chlorine. I myself find it horrible but glad it is around to prevent disease spread. I second the good job Matt about finding B and bringing her into our family. Your more like a sister to me- forget the "in law" crap.
I love Kevin too, he is so funny. My favorite Kevin moment is Holly's first episode when she thought he was mentally challenged, he didn't know she thought that and wanted to date her. The scene at the candy machine was the best.
Funny about the rarnee wv dad! Too bad it wasn't Matt's birthday post, but B loves Rarnee.
Happy Birthday B! What a great day to be born:) LOL. We join Hilary Clinton and Jacqueline Smith as well. Go Charlie's Angels!! Yes! I am going to show them a few things with my new Kung Fu moves:)
I am glad Matt found such a wonderful young woman and I hope you have a happy and successful year!
Happy, happy for sure, B. It was fun getting to know a lot more about you through this post! Hope you will properly celebrated all week (and always, of course).
Great job on the post Matt and for finding the perfect person for you. Happy Birthday B! Hope you guys had a fun night and a great dinner at Asian Cuisine. YUM. We love you B!
I got B Season 5 of The Office. That will keep her out of sight for awhile. hehehe
Excellent post! Happy Birthday B! I didn't realize you liked the Rolling Stones so much.
So this post pretty much wraps up a year of birthdays! Kelly has a birthday coming up, but not sure if Amy is going to do a post or not. Does Kelly even know this blog exists?
Anyway, this all started last November with Em's birthday. So, my question is. Do you guys want to keep doing them the way we are doing? Or, does anyone have an idea for another way to recognize birthdays on the blog?
I don't see how we can keep it up for everyone again. It will be hard to come up with a lot more ideas. I think it's been a great thing this year and lots of fun. I'm not sure what else we can do other than just post a funny picture of the birthday person and everyone can wish them a happy birthday message. I don't know? I don't think I'll do one for Kelly. She knows the blog exists and I'm sure it would be appreciated. Maybe I'll do something.
I was kind of thinking the same thing, it would be hard to keep it up and post new things. We should do something though. So keep the ideas coming!
We should come up with a totally new idea for this year, that would be fun.
I'll think about it.
Actually I started it with Neil Young as a joke in the heart of our 'Neil Young Wars'. Good times! Em's birthday was a week later.
I also think we should think of another way to recognize birthdays for the upcoming year. These birthday postings have been lots of fun, but it would be hard to keep doing.
I agree with you all. Amy is wright. It would be hard to keep up the "one-up-manship". One funny or nice picture and then we could make our birthday comments. Unless, Ems or someone can come up with a whole new concept.
Agree on doing something different.
Here's a thought: Still do a behind-the-scenes chat with everyone ahead of time in a search for a really great picture that somehow captures something endearing about the birthday person. Then in whatever post emerges from the discussion, we make the emphasis of the comments each person telling some kind of funny story (or incident that captured something essential and neat about that person) involving the person commenting and the birthday person.
That sounds good Dan, I like that idea.
By the way, Elinor has pink eye and we took her to the doctor yesterday and she was a portly 9 lbs. 4 oz. So she isn't puking up all her food.....
Wow. Good girl, Ells. I'm glad she's keeping some of it down. Sorry about the pink eye. Our kitten, Julius has a goopy eye right now, too. I like the birthday ideas. I was thinking along the same lines as Dan.
It was TERRIBLE when she woke up yesterday (who knew one little cute eye could make so much nasty green stuff?). We got her on medication by noon and today, there is just the most minuscule of crusties on her eyelash. I don't think it ever bothered her too much. Except for the morning when I tried to clean it up with a warm washcloth. She wasn't too happy about that, I think it felt a little sensitive poor thing. But she is her normal calm sleepy happy self besides. I just hope it doesn't stick around and infect us all. I wonder how she got it first- that is weird to me.
B-
Sorry for being so late on the Happy Birthday, but...
Happy Birthday!
That is weird. I was just over there Monday night and she looked fine...
She was fine! Then, she slept really well that night and I woke up in the morning to a surprising sight.
That is weird that she got it first. Better keep her on a tight leash!
Thank you everyone for the nice wishes, and thank you Matt (and Dad) for the awesome blog post. It totally enhanced the wonderful birthday festivities!!
I was thinking that for the person's birthday, we should let them come up with a playlist, but that wouldn't be too original because you all get to do that anyways... I've just resigned to the fact that I may never win SWS ever again, and that that would probably be the only way I'd ever get to have my playlist on the blog... He he.
I've been sick today, so it's been a day full of sleep, Office Season 5, and pudding a la Dad. It's like life gave me a birthday present!!! Except the whole fever, headache, sore throat part... Sorry to hear that Els is sick. Poor little babe.
W.V. pletri... maybe Elinor was playing in a petri dish...
Hey B, I know it's been a couple of days, but I hope you had a great birthday. Thanks for adding me as a friend on facebook. Oh, and it sure would be nice to actually meet you!
I love the picture of "El General"
or whatever it is called in French. I stood at the very same spot on the roof of Notre Dame and took a picture just like it. In 2001. Love Paris.
