Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

First Steps

For Posterity:

Two Weeks ago at 14 months, we tricked Marianne into taking 1 little step. She hasn't done much, this week 12.5 months she took a step on her own and today she stood up balanced herself and took 3 steps totally on her own! I then helped her do it again we might have gotten 4 steps. So yea she is on her way to walking
Marianne gets excited and makes this face a teethy grin with her eyes closed, about 10 x a dya. I finally got it on film. She is soooo cute!

Don't you love these curls, awesome!

Wicked!!

My parents got my sister's and I tickets for Wicked for Christmas. I went up to Boise yesterday and met my mom and Katie, and then we drove up with our Family Friend Lynn and my dad and met with Family Friend Heather Luff and my sister-in law Erin. It was fun to see everyone. Darlene just had her baby (at 34 weeks) and they are doing really well, but made it so she couldn't come, we missed you Dar!

One word for this play: AMAZING! It gave me such a incredible new way of looking of things.

St. George!


This last weekend we went to St. George with our friends the Birks. We stayed in their family's Condo. It was a blast.
We went on a hike in the canyon and we found this cool cave.
Lots of Red Dirt
But pretty Yellow Flowers
