These Little Feet...

are taking their first steps already.

He's learning how to walk right in time for my parents' visit - such good timing :)

Tiny Tots With Their Eyes All Aglow

Though I've found a few pine needles in some mmm... interesting places, it's so much fun having all the Christmas decorations up! This is definitely the best time of year :)

Thanksgiving Extravaganza

So, from what you can tell of the pictures (I had to keep reminding Rand to take pictures), the majority of our Thanksgiving was spent in the tub or on Papa's lap (the kids, that is). But, in reality, we did tons of things that are entirely unrecorded in film, but were so much fun. I tackled my husband so that my sister-in-law could score a touchdown (yes he was on my team, and no, it wasn't intentional) and we all had a lovely time walking the hike to the Waste Facilities Bldg adjacent to the Carson Prison (and yes, it involved going under the freeway). In all sincerity, we enjoyed some bonding time with the fam and it was so nice (and needed!) to see everyone - especially since we're so far away :)

*Elise does like us, despite the funny faces we get when we take pictures of her - we think she has something against the camera.
**Thank you, Alaina & Braelyn, for teaching Elise Spanish; she now asks for agua, but it comes out "wawa." :)

Baby It's Cold Outside

After my usual walk at the Hart Building early this morning, I returned to my car to discover it WASN'T WORKING!! And, it just happened to be -5 outside. Yes, that's right, there's a negative sign in front of that five. The key would not turn in the ignition (I love when it decides not to cooperate at such convenient times). After seeking some help (they couldn't get it to work either), I decided to walk home. I guess I'm a true Idahoan now :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Best one yet! (See video above)

I have to say

That I really love my family :)

FOUR years!

X-treme Strollering

What do this

and this

have in common?

Rand's response, "It's better to be crazy than boring!" Enough said.
The kids loved every minute of it.

As a disclaimer, the above picture is not the park we went to; the park we went to did have a skate park - a very TAME skate park - but no tube for those of you who are a little concerned. :)

The Wild Beast...

You have to say the title with an Australian accent to get the full effect, at least that's what Rand did as Michael was crawling along the floor :)

He's one funny little boy. :)
