Alison's debut

Alison was assigned the scripture and prayer in Primary today. She did an excellent job! The video was taken from the back of the room so it's a little noisy - but you can turn it up to hear her. I like how she got louder and more confident as she went on! What a champ - I don't think I've ever been as calm and collected as she was. It's a little long - but wanted Daddy and Grandma Suzie to get to see it.

Doctrine and Covenants 88:119 - Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God;

Good goals to have. I'm going to work on the house of order part tomorrow.

Andrew is really digging feeding himself. Yogurt is his favorite.

race day

Racing to the stick in the ground brought out the competitive side in her.

Just a couple gratuitous cute shots. Mostly I was just practicing with a different lens for my class.

somebody's missing

I have a couple of kids missing their daddy! Alison had a meltdown today when I got after her about something and she started crying, "I want my daddy!!!" over and over again. Let's just say, I'm the less strict of the two of us, so it wouldn't make sense for her to want him to come rescue her. She just misses him. This is the first trip he's taken where she asks everyday, "Is Daddy coming home today?"

Andrew has his own way of showing it. Like randomly yelling out "DaDA!!" usually when he's in his highchair.

bear? can you really be replaced?

Meet Tiny.


All I have to say is, Bear, you'd better watch your back.

ski and apres-ski

We finally got some snow. This was at 7:45 am on Monday morning when things really started to pick up.

We all got bundled up.

Went for a little hike.

Ate a little snow.

Did a little sledding.

Ate some more snow.

And went back to the lodge to lounge in our apres-ski wear.

pretty in pink (and eiffel towers!)

I finally finished Alison's duvet cover. It turned out really cute and she loves it! And now she has covers to sleep under. I couldn't get her to sleep under a blanket before this.

Andrew wants in on the fun too!
