Yahoo!! Our first dry day in big boy undies!! Those of you who know my plight, know that this has been a LONG awaited day! Here are a couple shots of Isaac in our garage “fixing things”. And yes, he is picking out his outfits these days.


And some sort of dance move he thought was real funny.

My friend said to me the other day, “You do realize you’re breeding clones right?” Yes, yes I am, and I’m pretty happy about it.

After Geoff’s amazing performance at the triathlon, we headed up to SLC for a little R and R. Our friend invited us to his parent’s new house. We’ve heard them joke that it is the “Versailles of Utah”. Um, yeah. It really was. I seriously wanted to take my camera and document it, but that would have been weird and I was enjoying myself in the pool. Instead I took a couple pictures of Isaac in front of these MASSIVE columns (which had to be railroaded in!). It was nice to spend time with our Salt Lake friends and swim to our heart’s content.

*As an update for “Gail”, whoever you are…Isaac has finally expressed some interest in potty training. After hundreds of failed attempts and pleadings, a trip to the dollar store seems to have done the trick in at least getting him interested in going.

…and 5th overall. I think we’ve got a natural here.

Today is the birthday of my best friend, Amy. We’ve known eachother for 10 years now. From the moment we met on the first day of school at BYU Hawaii, I knew we’d be fast friends.


After a brief separation, we were roommates again in Provo. Our crazy antics reached an all time high at this location (namely, Skyview pranks).


And now here we are, ten years later. Funny how some things never change: like the way we love to laugh together, how much we love spending time together, and apparently my haircuts. And how many things have changed: like our mode of transportation (Amy in a mini van…), marriage, and two kids!

I love you Amy, from the top of your thick head of hair to the side of your twisted pinky toe. Happy Birthday!

We went to Thanksgiving Point with our friends the McPhersons today. It was a toasty day, but we had fun looking at the animals. As a parent, I was a bit disappointed at the lack of educational info on the animals, but oh well, it was still fun.

Isaac LOVED riding the horses. He went twice and then watched other kids ride for atleast 10 minutes.

Bella and Isaac.

Isaac doing what he does best…yelling.

What a poser.

We went to Porter’s Place in Lehi afterwards. Delicious greasy food in the coolest atmosphere (the scones are a MUST HAVE). Isaac didn’t want to sit at the bar with Bella, but I loved this shot.

This darling shirt was given to Lucy from her Uncle Matt. He’s been very upset with me that I didn’t take a picture of her in it. Truth is she’s 3 months old (today) and it just now fits. Apparently the company who made the top was using one large newborn as a model. Anyways, it’s still cute, and we still love our Uncle Matt.

What happens when you’re bored and a friend who cuts hair is over…a new hairdo! After rounding up some dull scissors from Geoff’s shaving kit, she chopped off the locks and I’ve got short hair again. It’s funky fresh. Lets be honest, I’ve had about every hair length known to womankind, so the shock value of going short is gone for me. Here is a curlier version of this Sliding Door-esque haircut, post a mad game of badminton. Thank you Lindsay!

I love this little girl!
