Valentines and Grant

Here are some pictures of some of the ValantinesDay cards the girls made.

Another picture of some of the cards that were carefullly crafted to perfection.

We found Grant sleeping in here, poor guy, he was soooo tired that he tust climbed on in. But, the reason why he actually fell asleep is because he stole his Mimi, his blanket, and his pacifier from his crib.

More shots of Grant.....................................

Blah, blah, blah.......................

Hillshire Farms Song

Ellen was facinated by a comercial and decided to learn it, so don't stop talking to us just because we have some scary people in our family, just pretend that you didn't see this.

Honor Roll,the Zoo, and more

This is Ellen "eating" her friend Kaylee.

After finishing her cinnamon roll, Ellen got prepared for some serious picture taking.

Ellen and her friends Kaylee and Sarah celebrating together after getting their certificates.

Ellen and her Dad after having some complementary cinnamon rolls from the school. {Or Ellen anyway, Don woudn't touch them.}

Well, Ellen got on the Honor Roll at her school. Way to Go!

This is a beautiful picture of the boys at the Zoo team riding the Ox. And their Daddy.

Reid and Ellen on the 2 min. train ride. They convinced us that this would be the best part of the Zoo. In truth, going around in a circle for 2 min, for $2 a person, it really wasn't worth it.

The other half of the family, Rachel, Maddie, and Grant all sporting some big and cheerful smiles!

Yes, well Grant came home from nurserey one day{ which might we add he never does, except on rare occasions} and was sporting an I Am A Child Of God crown. He took that crown with him everywhere the rest of the day.

Trip to Utah

Maddie has a new thing. Peace. Even though we tell her that this isn't the 60's, she keeps doing it. {Evidently it is the new cool thing to do.}

Grant was enjoying giving hugs and getting some back. He decided to try it to just about everyone. This young lady{his second cousin} was extremly kind to his cause.

This is Rachel and her close cousin Kristen. We told to bunch together, say cheese, and said that the picture would be taken as quickley as possible, interupting conversation between two or more women is not smart, at all.

Okay, you might not notice this but if you look carefully, you can see a bird on Moroni's trumpet. { Please not that this picture was taken with much concentration.}

This is our good friend Russel who we happened to meet while driving aroud the grounds of the MTC. We were really excited to see him and took several pictures and were out. Hi Russel!

This is Grant being the selfish person that he is. Oh he'll share his toys{sometimes}, his clothes{not that we really have any use for them}, and well, basically anything but food. That is why he is scowling at antone who comes within 10 ft. of his starbursts.

Well, this trip would of never happened if it weren't for our Uncle Jake. So here's just a little photo of the kids and Jake.{Oh, and if you are questioning the snowshoes, well, let's just say that there was a lot of snow. they may not be fashionable, but they sure were better than having ice blocks for feet.}

We went to Olypic Park and were facinated by the tobogan, so we took a picture, just to make it last longer.

This is a picture of Rachel's cousins{who live in Utah} and our Grandpa Charles{who came to visit our cousins} behind the Salt Lake City temple, and even though we've had some pretty interesting times together, we still arae one big happy family.

This is a beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple. {Or at least we like to think so considering we aren't very good at the whole picture taking thing.}
