The week of first everything

Scripture day. Katie stood up and valiantly tried to give the scripture in the Primary closing exercises. It was so fun.


First day of preschool this year. She was a pro this year. She ran right in and didn't even look back. Which actually makes the whole experience a lot more pleasant.

Katie had her 4th birthday this week as well. Yeah! She got a "big girl" bike. I cannot believe how big she is. And the bell was her favorite part.

I made my very first themed birthday cake. I thought my butterfly cake turned out pretty good for a newbie.


This week was Katie's first dance class. She didn't dance at all. But, she loved the outfit.

It turned out to be a super busy, exhausting week. But...full of good things.

Sarah is walking now. Hooray.

Sarah's 1st birthday

Sarah is officially one now! It feels like last year went by really, really fast. We love Sarah so much and are so grateful for the things that she brings to our home. She has changed so much in one year and we look forward to all of the changes that will come in the next year.


Sarah loves her treats. She loves them so much she didn't even get her high-chair dirty. She dropped her cupcake once and after that everything went straight to her mouth. Which made for a great clean up. But, we didn't get any pictures. By the time we got the camera she had devoured her birthday cake.
Baby #2 has a totally different life experience then baby #1. The whole world is about baby #1. But Sarah has a great easy going personality. She shared nicely when Katie swooped in to try out the new toys. Happy Birthday!

Babies growing Up

Finally, I have posted a picture. I know you thought it would never happen. Here is Katie after she went to her first field-trip! She had an awesome time. She is getting so big.



Miss Sarah is just getting big. She is standing, crawling, and persistently chasing after everything. And she has awesome hair to go with it.

Dressed up

Here are my girls dressed up ready to go out to the ward party.

As a parent, I often have these grand visions of how experiences are going to turn out, happening in my head. Then reality happens and it becomes twice as funny because they are totally opposite.

Picture Update

Halloween weekend David's parents were is town. We went to a football game. Total blast....mostly.

What happens to Daddy when he comes home and the girls have missed him.
