Activity Days Catch Up

Our first Activity Day of 2011 was all about journals. Sister Hofmann taught the girls the importance of keeping a journal and then they got to create their own journals.

I bought each one of them a composition book that they got to cover with scrapbook paper and stickers. Each girl worked really hard on their creations and they turned out great.
I bought a few extra books and Zoe was so happy I did. She loves Activity Days and this was no exception. She was in heaven!


For our next meeting we talked about talents and how to recognize them and develop them. For our activity we tied a baby quilt for Lindsey's baby shower. Everyone had such a good time.

Still Lazy

So after a month I still have not posted anything. What has happened to my blogging obsession? I have even slacked on taking pictures. I didn't take very many during our Christmas vacation. Hardly any for Wyatt's birthday. What is going on with me?

Once Again

I suppose I shouldn't take time to use the bathroom anymore. Everytime I do I find trouble waiting for me when I return. Zoe helped herself to the leftover pizza and invited Wyatt to her naughty party...

Let's just ignore the lovely and safe condition of the kitchen. Towels pulled off onto the floor, empty box from bottled water and the best of all would be the dangling cord from the stove top. That would be attached to a very heavy iron that could do some serious damage to a little head or other tiny body parts.

Thank you Zoe for keeping me on my toes!!

Sleepy Bug

When I checked on Wyatt this morning this is what I found...

A very sleepy bug!I LOVE it when babies sleep this way. Cute little booty in the air like a june bug!

Provo Tabernacle

Mom and Dad came up to Evanston to pick me and the kids up for the Blackburn family party tonight. When we got into Provo they drove by the Tabernacle that had caught fire during the night. It was so sad to see this beautiful building destroyed. I'm glad I got the chance to see it in person and take some pictures.
The tree's outside are weighed down with all the water spraying on them that has turned to ice
Lots of spectators watching and taking pictures.

Chatting with Santa

Zoe asked for a pink computer

Maggie asked for a Liv doll
Wyatt asked to not be tortured by the big guy
Merry Christmas!

One Con of the New Job

I woke up this morning to find Glenn still at home. I asked what was going on and he informed me that the freeway was closed and he was unable to get to work. We took a drive to see if it was open yet and this is what we found...

Semi's backed up for miles on the freeway

and along the road leading to the on-ramp
and lined up along the off-ramp as well

Looks like he's not going anywhere anytime soon!!

I'm Lazy

I've been so lazy lately about documenting our events. I just wanted to note that Wyatt is walking. He's not completely stable, but he can make it pretty far without falling. He's eleven months now and is just the most handsome boy ever!!
We had a couple of minutes of huge snowflakes falling and Wyatt was in awe! He was making all kinds of cute noises while watching them fall.

The First Snow Fall

Wyatt was totally amazed by the first snow fall. He wanted to get out in it.
