She's a cutie. Come take a look!  

Lots of them on our blog.  Love you!

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!  

Let's be honest.  No one looks very happy about this moment in their lives.  Hayden did ask for trains and cars, both of which he got in several forms.  It was a great holiday.

We're working on picture upload, but I thought I'd go ahead and post a bit here.  I have so enjoyed talking with everyone yesterday.  It's nice to hear about things like Sutten walking (which apparently happened long ago, but I'm just now realizing how big and old he is), Craig's adventures as a Juror as well as Hayden the monkey, Ashley's new life as a college student, Andrea's world of mice and children, and Jared's and Monica's weekend of hiking.

I know those of us familiar with toddlers hear this all of the time, "______ do it!" (fill in the appropriate toddler's name).  Hayden is full of this phrase. He loves to show me that he can do things himself.  This afternoon was a special case.

Hyrum loves to "read" scriptures by copying the words we tell him from a verse.  We often pick verses with big words because it's so cute to hear his way of saying a word.  Last night was particularly adorable.  The verse was in Acts and there was a reference to the synagog.  He said "I see na doddies(doggies)".  We all had a hard time keeping a straight face, but I thought it was so cute, I'd share.
