April 18, 2009


Everyone once in a while when I pull the camera out, Laney actually smiles. It might look funny like this but I have to have some proof that she is a happy child.

April 17, 2009


The girls love the pool. They play in it at least twice a day. Sometimes they can't wait for me to get their swimsuits out and just enter with clothes on.

April 16, 2009



My mom had RS Leadership meeting at the house tonight. Laney and I hung out in my room. During that time she decided she would much rather wear my shirt then her pajamas. And she insisted on sleeping that way.

April 15, 2009


Strawberry with cream, please.

April 14, 2009


When Laney takes care of business on the toilet, she gets baby M&Ms.

The quilt top.

April 12, 2009


The girls received this play pool for Easter. Since we wouldn't put water in it for them today, Erich thought they could try it out with shredded paper. They liked it.

Not the clearest picture but that is Wubzy hand drawn by Erich on Laney's Easter egg.

A sneak peak of Easter.  

April 9, 2009


I was Mom of the day today.  I brought home churros from Costco for everyone.

April 8, 2009


She was too tired to stay up until bedtime.

April 7, 2009

My goal for Passover break was to make a quilt.  I was smart enough to convince my mom that this scrap stash quilt I saw online would be fun to make.  This is the beginning of our project.  More pictures to come.

April 6, 2009


More proof that it is shave ice season here in AZ.

April 5, 2009


I am not sure the day could have been any better.  I was able to listen to both sessions of General Conference.  We had scones, eggs, hash browns, and bacon for breakfast.  And these were our afternoon snack.

April 4, 2009


Proof of a very successful Easter Egg hunt.  The girls loved it.  And Laney is now talking about the Easter Bunny.

April 3, 2009


Another day I forgot the camera during the day.
And another day I thought, why didn't I think of that.
Really, this book is so simple, yet Allie's favorite by far.
And how at 18 months does she know that this turkey is silly?

April 2, 2009


It's been a bad few days for me and the camera while the girls are awake.  

I love this book.  Mainly because Laney and I both have it memorized.  So Laney can "read" it to Allie and I.  This is independence and development I like to see

Anyone who knows my immediate family(my parents and siblings) would laugh to know that for mutual the YM came to our house to build something.  My oldest brother Casey told me it needed to be documented in photos.

My own little robots.

March 30, 2009


When I left for work, she was in shorts and a t-shirt. When I came home, she was dressed like this. I am not sure what happens in those few hours I am gone.

March 29, 2009


Finally over the stomach flu, but now getting new teeth. It's been a rough few days for her.

March 28, 2009


That's me.

I am not sure when Laney picked up on the fact that I am a teacher but as we were reading this book and got to the teacher part, she said, "That's you mommy. You a teacher."
Hopefully she doesn't think I look like her.

March 27, 2009


My friend Megan made Laney this quiet book when she was a baby. I pulled it out again for her recently. It can entertain for a good half hour. Much better for her than a tv show. Thanks again, Meg.

March 26, 2009


Finally some proof that she is getting teeth.

March 25, 2009


Ellie came to play today. The girls were in heaven.

March 24, 2009


This is my unassigned office space. (And most nights it is where I do lesson plans, grading, and whatnot. During the day I just look at blogs.)

March 23, 2009


This was pretty much the story of my day. And I am not referring to my pajamas as I did put on clothes and go to work or my stomach as that is the story of my life. More the one year old clinging to my legs.

March 22, 2009


In the previously mentioned garage cleaning, Erich found his RC stuff. So Erich, Laney, and I headed to the park for some flying time.

March 21, 2009

I am not going to lie. I forgot to take a picture today. But I spent a good portion of my day at Women's Conference where Barbara Barrington Jones taught us a new song, "It doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter."

So I am okay with it. Because in the eternal perspective, it doesn't matter. (Even though it might matter in the 365 day perspective.)

March 20, 2009


Erich and I spent sometime going through some of our boxes in the garage. Laney wanted to join us. To help her see better, Erich put the booster seat in the driver's seat. She thought it was fun for a minute. Until she realized it was much harder to climb in and out of the car.

March 19, 2009


Laney figures out that not only could she open spice bottles, she could dump them all out as well. This time it was Salad Supreme on her head.
I really, really love all her new found talents.

March 18, 2009


Enjoying the sprinklers and Ritz crackers.
Both the girls love the water. And they love the nice weather that allows them to play in the water quite often.

March 17, 2009


Wearing their St. Patrick's Day green and performing 3 Little Ducks.

March 16, 2009


A lot of these were made in preparation for Stake Women's conference on Saturday. I did a lot of licking of bowls. Not good for my getting in shape plan.

March 15, 2009


Playing in the car is a perfectly good Sabbath activity.
