Cuties

I have to share how sweet and cute our kids are. People have been saying they keep checking our blog hoping it's updated. I realized we haven't taken as many pictures lately - probably because I really don't like the pictures our camera takes and I haven't been blogging, so I guess I haven't thought about it as much. But I need to because these kids of ours are at an adorable, fun age. . . so here's a little update. And I will most likely go back and post some of the things we've been up to because it will be so fun to look back later on . . .

p.s. Thanks to those of you in our family that fasted for us on Sunday.

Happenings

We're being s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d in lots of ways right now, but that's good. It's more important to reach our full capacity and ability and know our Savior and His love and power more deeply than not. I feel like my faith muscle has just done the equivalent of about 600 pull ups or something over the last several months. So thankful for prayer, the temple, fasting, scriptures, running, the Spirit, my awesome husband, my sweet children who always spontaneously tell me how much they love me, and for people who love and care about us. Here's some fun pictures of some of the things we've been up to lately.

Daddy with his girls.

Imagine if this was in our house. We would have constant drumming. He loved playing these. I would love to have something like a djembe or bongos. That'd be so fun! Maybe someday I'll do music therapy and have all the awesome drums out there.

How much Caleb loves math. I've been doing a lot of math problems with him lately and he just loves it - so much he falls asleep still doing it. ha. What an awesome boy.

My baby turns one tomorrow!!!

She adds so much joy and fun to our lives. It's amazing how the cute things she does and her smiles and cuddles brighten all of our days.

My Grandma's funeral was really nice. My grandma had a great love for music. I'm thankful I could play my violin for her funeral and honor her that way. She always enjoyed having Mark and I play for her when we would visit her.

Nice enough to be outside without shoes, etc. in January. I love St. George!

So do these little bee boppers

Brynli loves to play with play dough. Not sure Mark likes it because of the potential mess, but it's worth it. :)

So excited for tomorrow! Pictures to follow.

Update

We really enjoy sledding on our sledding hill with our zipfies. :)

Caleb has lost his first two teeth! He was very excited when he came home and told me he had lost his tooth. He told me every day how excited he was that he had two loose teeth and made sure I was excited too. Which I was. He's getting big so fast.

Two Beautiful Princess Sisters

It's starting. . .

She's starting to really explore. It's so funny when you find her because she knows she's getting into stuff and she laughs when I find her.

Sweet baby girl. She's starting to walk on her own! She's taken around 7-10 steps several times. She has really good balance so has been standing for a while and now she's starting to walk.

Christmas

Merry Christmas!
