"In our day to day actions, it is often the small and simple things that will have a long-lasting impact. What we say, how we act, and how we choose to react will influence not only ourselves but also those around us. We can build up, or we can tear down." -Per G. Malm

Friends Forever


Here are Emily and "Latlee" as Emily calls her. I think it is hilarious that Emily can say construction but can't say Natalie. They were sharing an Apple or is it an orange I can't tell. Oh well. It is funny but in the picture it looks like there are two people but really they are the same. Ask Anna.

Brock's Babes




Here are Brock's babes decked out in our jammies.


2 Going on 22 Part II

So today while going down the stairs for breakfast, Emily says to me "When I get bigger and bigger I get a bra." What in the world. What 2 year old says something like this let alone at 6:30 in the morning.

Oh Emily

Yesterday we were at my dads gardening and meg was taking a super long nap. I started leaking milk and had my hand pressed up against my breast to stop it. Emily saw me and said "Are you leaking mom?" I said yes and she said "me too." Then she lifted up her shirt and found my dad and said "grandpa I leaking." He raised his finger to point at her and she said don't "touch my leaks." I tell ya it is never boring at my house.

Thanks to Grandma Karen for watching Emily so that Brock and I could go to Stake Conference on Saturday. And thanks for teaching her how to put on lipstick. The story goes that they were in her car jamming out to music and putting on makeup in the visor mirrors. She's Gorgeous.


Puns Anyone?

My dad sent me a list of some silly puns. They are pretty lame but made me smile. Here are just a few:

She was only a whisky maker's daughter, but he loved her still.
The butcher backed into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.
A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.
Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said, 'Keep off the Grass.'
The man who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.
When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.

Clearly my life is so exciting that I have this as a post. Hmmmmm
