Check out Kris's new Temple Pics!

Kris took some amazing pics of some of the temples around here and is starting to actually sell them to random people on the internet. I think it would be so cool to be able to create something that people would want to buy. Anyways here is a link to see some of them. I know he'd realy appreciate comments on there since it helps his pictures look more popular.

Tofer vs the Blue Man

8 MONTHS!

Just in case you didn't catch THAT FACE!



8 MONTHS OLD

LOVES

1. Taking a bath
2. Making loud noises
3. Crawling everywhere
4. Pulling himself up on everything
5. When I bite his side
6. Squealing
7. Pulling Dad's hair
8. Pounding on piano
9. Playing toy drum
10. Reading books with Mom
11. Eating toilet paper, pears, and sweet potatoes
12. Being cuddly when he wakes up
13. Listening to Mom sing

Does NOT like

1. Getting his diaper changed (it's a true acrobatic event trying to pin him down)
2. His carseat
3. The Blue Man (post explanation coming)
4. Sitting in the grass
5. Being confined in any way, shape, or form and sadly this includes the exercauser (he used to love it)

I can't believe he is 8 months old already. We LOOOOOVVVEEE him. Cute little Tofer man.

This One's for the GIRLS!

When I went to college I remember praying so hard that I'd find a good group of roommates. But I never imagined I'd be so lucky to meet some of the BEST women I've ever known.

Freshman year at BYU we conquered that world ;) everyone called us "the Giggs" even though these girls refuse to admit it, ahem. And yes, I'm not mentioning your names to protect you privateers from human trafficking in Thailand...but HOW could I keep the world from your beautiful faces? ;)

We've been meeting up in random places for reunions every couple of years since those fateful days in John Hall. Here we are, over a DECADE later (are we getting BETTER looking even?) We spent last week in a cabin in Arizona. FUUUNN! And our little group of five has grown to TWENTY FIVE with husbands and kids included.

Thanks for a fun and INSPIRING week, ladies. Love you!

P.S. The late nights got me DEATHLY ILL! Go figure. I'm not sure how we averaged 4AM bedtimes in college and never got sick.

Cheese

Yes, I do recognize and am well aware of the occasional cheesy nature of some of my posts. I've also had friends tell me they stopped blogging altogether because reading about other people's "perfect lives" made them depressed.

Well, that's just a shame.

WE ALL KNOW...

Everyone has a picture where they look like Beavis and/or Butthead. You probably won't find it on their blog, unless it's hilarious.

Everyone has a moment where they wanted to go into a mad rage and throw something at their spouse (and I am actually pretty even tempered so it makes me wonder what really fiesty people want to do). Ha!

I'm not sure everyone has locked their husband out and made him climb through the kitchen window or built a barracade of pillows between them while sleeping so they didn't have to look at eachother...but I'm pretty sure, I'm not the only one.

But isn't it life's imperfections that make it so beautiful and dare I say...fun?? We laugh our heads off about the night with the pillow wall. I'm not sure he thinks climbing through the window was hilarious but I laugh pretty hard about it still.

"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." — Gordon B. Hinckley

Happiness is:

After spending 24/7 with your husband for a week, this gchat made me smile. It's fun to have a buddy.

The Latest Favorite

Yes, Tofer LOOOOVVVEEESSS his bath and his latest fascination is the running faucet water so this is what we do at the end of every bath. Cute huh?

Caught on Video!

P.S. Video is pretty dark, huh? But how fun to get his first crawl on tape!
