Roll Over



I am so proud!

Dallin in the Jumper




He just now fits!! (kind of)

Funny story:
So right after I took these I walked away to set the camera down and Tessa had wided him all up and let him go.. He was SPINNING 'ROUND & ROUND!! 100 miles an hour!! His eyes were almost rolling back in his head! I kind of freaked out and stopped him really fast and grabbed him out.His eye were still rolling back and forth -he was SO DIZZY! but nope he didnt even cry.. I could tell he didnt fell so good for a minute.. but then I just held him and he smiled at me! Must have been quite a ride!

SO PROUD!

Tessa wrote her name for the first time! (Its not correct but its her first attempt to even write her name!) I was so excited! She has been making "T"'s for so long but when Miss Tiff and I saw this on her paper it about blew us away! After all shes not even three and a half yet! So I was needless to say very proud! Its kind of hard to see, but if you look close you can see it!


This is what she wrote on the back of. A cute little snowman craft! Tessa's preschool teacher works so hard on these great crafts with them! They always turn out so cute!! If you cant read what is says at the bottom- At night my snowman____then Tessa was suppose to fill in and she said "goes to church". Tessa LOVES church!!! She begs me to take her to church every time we get into the car! I am excited about her going into sunbeams at the first of the year!

Tessa Gets Chopped

Yep. Tessa got a new hair cut. It actually just started out as a trim, but right when I snipped she heard the hair cutting and flipped her head around to see and i snipped vertical instead of horizontal! OOPS! and this is what I ended up with! Pretty cute I think, BUT totally the WRONG season for short hair! I should have chopped it off this summer!

MOM, Where's my hair! (Not sure about the transformation....)

Ok.. now i like it!

Its still long enough to pull back.

A Tribute to Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin Passes: KSL.com

The oldest living apostle of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has passed away. Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin was 91 years old.

Elder Wirthlin had gone to bed at his Salt Lake City home last night and died peacefully at about 11:30 p.m. of causes incident to age.

According to the LDS Church Web site, his oldest daughter, Jane Wirthlin Parker, was present. A member of the family had been staying with and caring for Elder Wirthlin, whose wife, Elisa Young Rogers Wirthlin, died in 2006.

He had experienced some difficulty walking in recent years, but had continued to work at his office up until the Thanksgiving holiday.

His son, Joe, told Utah's Morning News on KSL Newsradio, "He lived a life of full activity until the last breath."

He also said that his father touched many lives over the years, including a nurse at a hospital. "He was the reason she had gotten her life in order," he said. You can listen to KSL Newsradio's interview with Joe Wirthlin at the audio link on this page.

Funeral arrangements have not yet been announced.

Elder Wirthlin was born in Salt Lake City on June 11, 1917. He graduated from the University of Utah in Business Administration and played football at the U.

Before his call as a General Authority, he was a prominent business leader and was also president of a trade association in Utah. He served a mission to Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in the late 1930s. He was ordained an Apostle in 1986.

He married Elisa Young Rogers May 26, 1941 in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of eight children. Sister Wirthlin passed away on August 16, 2006.

His last conference address is considered a classic by many. Titled "Come What May, and Love It," the address centered on reaction to adversity in life.

The way we react to adversity can be a major factor
in how happy and successful we can be in life.

Diaper Cake


So this is my second attempt to making a diaper cake. My friend Candice is having a baby girl and so I decorated it up with pink and brown. I didn't get a picture of my first attempt, but i remember the whole backside looked awful we had to put it against a wall. *oops sorry Tiff.. But i am getting better and better. If you want a lesson I would be more then happy to give a stab at it.. just BYOD! (bring your own diapers)

PRETTY PRETTY TESSA

The photos with Tessa were MUCH harder. Sitting without falling over was not a problem. Sitting still was! So here is what I ended up with. Sorry there are a bunch. But i couldnt decided which ones to post.
