Big Girl Riding Bike!

So last year I tried teaching Brooklyn how to balance and ride a bike without training wheels.  It was not successful, and I figured I'd try again when she asked for it.  This summer she asked again if I would take her training wheels off.  I did and told her to push with her feet on the ground to get use to the bike being a little more wobbly (advice from my older brother David--THANKS).  I then got a phone call, and she got tired of waiting for me to help her that she figured out how to work the peddles on her own while staying up.  That was so much easier than teaching her how to ride a bike in the first place.  If only potty training were so easy!

Christmas Time

I know I don't update my blog much (sorry!), but I wanted to share a couple of my favorite things that I got to do this last Christmas. Be a part of our church's production (in Othello) of "Savior of the World" where the 1st act told of the coming of Jesus' birth and the 2nd act told of His ministry, death, and resurrection. It was a pretty neat experience. Some of the play I was an angel and some of the time I was a towns person. I've danced on stage before but never done a play or any kind of acting--I'm just glad I didn't have any lines; I just got to sing.

The second most exciting thing I got to doing during Christmas was take my daughter to her first professional ballet performance. We saw Ballet West's "The Nutcracker" in Salt Lake City while we visited Joe's family for the holidays. She loved it!

1 Month Old

I know you all want to see more pictures of our handsome son so here he is. One month old and already in the double digits--10lbs! That seems big to me. He's growing so fast. Here's his football pose. All he needs is a football, and he's ready for the snap.

And, of course, I couldn't forget to put in a picture of our little princes (or should I say "Queen of the House"). You can never be too fancy!

Here He Is!

Big Sister meets little Brother for the first time!

Brooklyn was pretty excited to hold her new little brother all by herself.

Aunt and cousins came to visit and meet the new little guy.

Going Home healthy and well!

Our little boy made his way into the world Tues night. You can visit the hospital website here to see a picture, but I don't think it looks much like him so I hope you enjoyed the pictures I posted. Thanks for all the love, support, and help during this time.
