Ready for Spring

Texas

My trip to San Antonio last week was awesome! I enjoyed the sunny 70 degree weather (I'm now very tempted to move there), relaxed with my baby, and LOVED being with my family. We were able to attend the temple together and do ordinances for a few of our ancestors. It was such a neat experience! It was so great to see Cameron again. And there was no newly returned missionary weirdness (you know what I'm talking about, right?). He is the same fun, great guy.

Aah--to be outside. Building up my stores of Vitamin D before returning to the arctic tundra.


My brother, Cameron, meets his newest nephew. Cameron is so good with babies!


The "Lion King" pose. Isn't my Simba adorable?

We are all big Seinfeld lovers. My brother, Paul, has the entire series on DVD and we watched some of it. Here are the boys.

I played Wii for the first time ever (I know, I know, I'm WAY behind on things) and it was a blast! I'm tempted to get one. Here's my mom and sister facing off in tennis. Notice the win/lose poses in the first picture.


My little nephew, Paul--is he not the cutest kid ever? He enjoyed tummy time with Luke.


Dad with little Paul

We can't forget the good food, right? My brother, Paul, and his wife Krista make the best deep-dish pizzas. Yum!

Happy Valentine's Day Ben!

I found this card for sale on another blog. Hilarious! Love it...

Luke's 3 month pictures

Luke was so funny during this session because every time the photographer would get him to smile he would immediately stuff his fists into his mouth. It was hard to capture that smile before it was full of fist. But they still turned out so stinkin' cute! Isn't he a heartbreaker?

Bathtime Fun

Emma and Rachel are hilarious at bathtime! They do the funniest thing after they get out of the tub. Emma wraps her towel around Rachel like a mother bird wrapping her wings around her baby. And Rachel just nestles into Emma and they cuddle together for a little while. It's too cute! I had to get some pictures of them doing it.




Rachel's face in this picture cracks me up!

Random January Pictures

The girls love to read on the stairs.

Getting messy making Monkey Munch (say that 3 times fast)


Aunt Sue and cutie-pie Luke. Love those dimples!

Ben's brother, Danny, came to our house to hang out with us Sunday afternoon. Luke enjoyed hanging onto his fingers.

Bummed

I am bummed today. I was very much looking forward to getting a water softener. Hard water has taken its toll on everything (and everyone) in our house. When the installer came this morning to hook it up, we discovered the softener does not fit in the closet (and they said they would only be able to soften the hot water in the house, not the cold because of the way the water lines were set up). Alas, the softener will not work here in this house and I am stuck with hard water. Ugh!
