Camera Tricks

I wanted to see what my camera could do and found the black and white and sepia settings. The kids are looking cute! Ry is getting better at sitting up. Kait's favorite saying is yep-e-do. Braden has a loose tooth. I find myself telling him to get his hands out of his mouth- he bites his nails- but he is only wiggling his tooth. This is still a lot of germs! Yuck!!

Talents

I was listening to Kaitlin sing today and realized she is a good singer. She can sing a song exactly as she hears it. What a talent! I tried to get a video but she was singing her own versions. Nevertheless, it made me think about talents. I was watching a show today that is trying to find the best dancers who can sing, and singers who can dance. It was fun entertainment and I like the show (minus the skimpy outfits). However, what does it get someone to win? Fame? A self-centered life? Selfish concerns about being the best and being a star. I think the Lord gave us talents for an entirely different purpose. Not selfishness. Rather to help other people and help His works go forward. That said I do enjoy music so I added some that I enjoy! Oh and I found a clip of Kait singing to her own tune!

Church Christmas Party

I was in charge of our ward Christmas party! It was a lot of fun and a lot of food! Kait was too scared to sit on Santa's lap. Ry was the last one and I think Santa had had enough!!

Kait's Winter Program

Kait was darling at her program! Unfortunately I let her take a purse to school that day and she played with it the entire show. My camera battery died too! Sad day.

Braden's Winter Program

Braden is in the middle. He is behind the two kids in yellow and you can only see his face.

Braden is in the center at the bottom of the screen in the red vest. (Acting like the funny man!)

Oh no

Ry is learning to sit up! He still has some practicing to do!

The Kids

The kids were acting silly! It was after we took family pictures so it was OK.

Christmas Lights!

Putting up the Christmas lights! Kait has been waiting for a year to have a house to put Christmas lights on! They look wonderful! We bought LED lights so they glow really bright and do not use as much electricity!

Red Robin Yum

I thought I would post some cute pictures from Red Robin Yum. (Yes it is important that you say the Yum at the end of it!) The kids were really good!

The Second Time

So we all went back with Mom and T so Kait could ride on the float! Thanks to T for going with her! We didn't get that great of seats though. We were on the floor but there were two rows of chairs in front of us. So the kids had a good time but it was hard to see. They had fireworks and great costumes! Oh yeah and really expensive popcorn, cotton candy and merchandise. The first time I brought a bag and they didn't check it. The second time I had to take Everything! out of my bag and I could not bring any food in at all. They wanted us to have to pay the outrageous prices!

This was really sweet!

This was the end!
