Utah!

We'll be in Utah tomorrow! Yeah! Merry Christmas!

A new niece!

A new niece! Congratulations to Bekah (Mike's sister) and her hubby Chris. What a beauty! - and the first granddaughter!

Love it!

Lately I have been loving baking - cookies and apple pies! Especially with this guy. :)

Such a great little helper

The Goose-Egg

So we recently learned another lesson. Don't let your kids run up sidewalks with their arms inside their coats - (as in, not in their sleeves...inside their coat) - because if they trip, all they have to land on is - well, their head.

Checking out the wound. Right before he saw it he put his hand up and said "I feel a bump". Mike and I looked at each other like "kid, you have no idea".

So as parents we were both obviously concerned about this bump...we got him ice packs, a pillow, had him lay down on the couch and cuddle with us, Mike let him choose a movie..etc... we really didn't realize how badly we were smothering him until he yelled "EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN!". Mike and I laughed so hard.

The New Obsession

Some of you have probably seen this because I posted it on facebook...but for those of you who haven't...here is Damon doing his new favorite thing.

Riding his bike at the skate park. Mike was so excited to have an extra long weekend last week (he didn't have to work Wednesday either) - so he

picked Damon up from pre-school and they headed out to two different skate parks. They were both excited that it stopped raining right on time. I

am the horrible parent who gets too much anxiety to take him to places like this....that's what dad is for. Enjoy Damon's explanation at the beginning

of the video of what he is about to do.
