Evelyn's First Tooth!

It's her bottom right front tooth! Which was a surprise because the left one is really swollen. Actually, quite a few are swollen. So congrats to Miss Faye, now if she'll just get back to sleeping all night!

So we went to Rexburg early Thursday morning. Aige was sooo excited to play with Grandpa Sanders. They built a few forts and towers with the Lincoln Logs. Then, Friday morning there was still some snow on the deck in the backyard and Aige really wanted to go "play in the snow". I'd forgotten to take some gloves and a hat for him (at least I thought of a coat!), so we put one of Grandpa's bright colored hats on him. Aige only lasted a few minutes before one of the gloves c

ame off and he was too cold. On Thanksgiving day Evelyn decided she could clap and shake her head back and forth! I was pretty excited for her! What a fun weekend, we also went to Utah on Saturday for a family christmas party and were able

to go and visit Josh and Renae and the kids on Sunday before we came home! And just to clear things up, I need to apologize to Aige for blaming the missing camera on him. When I found it (like an hour before we were trying to leave on Wednesday) I remembered myself putting it where it was to "keep it safe". Maybe a little too safe?! Sorry Buddos!

AH!

So....I need a group prayer that I might find my camera!! I think Aige has hidden it from me. (Anyone elses kids play this fun game?) At least, that is the only explanation that I can come up with. I have the case, the manual, plus extra batteries, but no camera. I'm starting to really freak out since we are leaving tomorrow to go to Rexburg. And, I am trying not to picture what he has done to it, like trying to open the lens. (sigh)

Happy Birthday, Lane!

Yes, Yes, it is Lane's birthday today. Shhh, he is 28 (sorry Renae :) ). Of course, WE LOVE LANE! Honestly, who doesn't? But, being his wife I love him more....and more and more each day. Lane is such a wonderful husband and father. He is so good at taking Aige out for just Daddy and Aige time. It's obvious who Aige's hero is. He looks up to him, and adores him. Evelyn's face lights up when he gets home from work, she is so cute when Lane is in the room. And where would I be without Lane. He makes me laugh, and smile, and inspires me to do better. I am so blessed to have Lane as my husband. With him I am safe, I am happy, and I can have eternal joy. I love you, Lane! Happy Birthday! Oh, and Happy Birthday to Renae! We love you, too! And, the picture of Lane is with the model boat that he is building.

STRIKE! ... almost

Our playgroup went bowling this morning. Aige had it all figured out pretty fast. He didn't even want to use the ramp (which made for a very slooowww moving ball). But he did good and had fun, too!
