Happy Easter!

Valentine Dance

We have a tradition of a dinner and dance for Valentine's Day. We haven't done it the last few years so we had to teach Jimmy and Kristi a thing or two. Jimmy thought standing up when a girl left the table was lame. He also wouldn't ask Mom to dance (he was too scared).

As Promised...

This was Jimmy's first loose tooth. How we didn't realize it was loose until it was this loose (nearly falling out) I will never know. He did pull it out himself.

The Tooth Fairy

The Tooth Fairy visited us last night.
Yesterday Jimmy was eating apple slices outside. Suddenly he ran back inside screaming bloody murder. You would have thought his leg was bleeding. His bottom tooth was loose and was barely hanging on. But Jimmy wouldn't let anyone pull it. Later that day we went to a bonfire with some friends. Jimmy walked over with something in his hand and exclaimed,"I pulled my tooth!" He got a special note from the tooth fairy for being so brave to pull his own tooth. (pictures to follow)

New Year's Adventures

We have a tradition of playing Rivers, Roads and Rails on New Year's Eve. This year was our best game yet! For those of you that haven't played before, it is very difficult to keep the tiles this compact and we have never before been able to do a closed-circuit train track.



We have joined the Polar Bear Club by doing a dip in our NOT HEATED pool on New Year's Day

Merry Christmas

There are just so many photos of our amazing Christmas trip that I had to link them as an album. Thank you to everyone who let us stay with them and made our trip so wonderful.

New House

Our new house has afforded us some special opportunities. We frequent the temple and Grandma's much more. We have daily visitors by way of chipmunks, bats, and an occasional scorpion. It's also provided incredible photography opportunities. Here are just a few:
