Sweet Little One

I know "Where the Wild Things Are" ... and I just love this sweet little wild thing.

Lights at Temple Square

We went to Temple Square on Saturday night to see the Chrsitmas lights with my sister and her family. At times like this, I wish I was a better photographer and had a better camera!

I'm thankful for ...

a sleeping baby!

Family Night in a Tipi!!

Brother and Sister Smith invited us to their tipi for family night on Monday. (Not everyone as a real Indian tipi in their back yard!) Unfortunately, I didn't get a picture of the Smith's or their tipi, but we enjoyed a fun evening with them, roasting marshmallows over a fire in the tipi and getting to know them. Sister Smith used to be a gymnast prior to an accident that broke her neck and put her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. She is such a wonderful example of humility and enduring to the end. I'm not sure what Brother Smith does, but he used to be a clown and has won multiple awards for his balloon creations. He shared some of them with us.

Check these out:

A flower ...A butterfly ...A flying mouse ... (you hold the mouse in your hand and pull the tail to make it fly)A rhinoceros ...A horse ...
And my personal favorite, a teddy bear riding a unicycle ...

Halloween

American Cuties!

This was definitely a Kodak Moment!

Beautiful Clouds

I took these pictures from our balcony the other day. These clouds were so bright against the hills behind them and the dark storm clouds moving in above.

Cute as a Button!

What more can I say?

Arrow of Light

J2 earned his Arrow of Light at Pack Meeting this month. He loves Cub Scouts! I have the feeling the next 4 months are going to be full of working on as many belt loops and remaining activity pins as possible!

Runs in the family

What do you think?

Toasted ... Starbursts?!

L and J1 introduced us to this delicacy at Family Home Evening last night. Move over marshmallows, it's starburst time!!

They toasted (or totally burned) a lot of marshmallows, too.

Idaho Family Reunion Vacation in Pictures

We just spent a week in Idaho at a Sherwood Family Reunion with this great bunch.

We stayed at this great location called the May Family Ranch on the Salmon River.

It seems like I spent all of my time taking care of Little L, so I didn't take as many pictures to capture all of the memories of this vacation, but I did get a few.


Sit back and enjoy the memories!
