A funny thing happens around here this time of year.
Superbowl is over. No more Patriots. No more Vikings. No more football…
at least on T.V. that is.
I must admit—the best part of this cherished “Iron Giant vs. The Smurfs” playoff…
is having front row seats on the 50 yard line…
and all the Cheetoes we can eat.
:] heh, heh… I mean rah-rah!
“President Hinckley admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the society in which we live if every parent regarded their children as gifts from the God of heaven and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.'”

Happy Birthday Dane!!
A single photo – no words – capturing a moment from our lives.
A simple, special, memorable moment.
A moment I want to pause, savor and keep close to my heart.
If you are inspired to do the same–leave us a link in the comments.
Happy Saturday friends!
Happy Birthday Laurie!
So we wait, and wait for the sniffles and sneezes and coughing to back off a bit so that we can take the little people to the pediatrician for their “Well Baby” check ups. Funny how that works–isn’t it?
Beckham loved the tiny light that made his fingers glow…
and was good with sticking out his tongue and saying, “Ahhhh.”
But when the doctor said, “May I look in your ears for a second?” he wasn’t having any of it.
She checked his tummy and heart and reflexes just fine, but he spent the rest of the check up with his hand over his ear…you know, just in case. Silly guy.
But Lily? She listened to her own heart, and stuck out her own tongue just at the right moment…
and giggled with the ear peeking and tummy rubs.
She loved it!
Now in the interest of full disclosure–I’ll admit, they didn’t really like the next part. You’ll notice that there are no pictures for their very first immunizations. That’s because I was on the “distraction committee” so that two three-year-olds didn’t turn into sixty-four wild hyenas.
Turned out–they were good little sports and got over the poke quite bravely.
Of course, Grammy’s bag of Jelly Bellys didn’t hurt one bit either.
Been around the block myself, you know.
heh, heh.
