Say no more . . .

Ian was delighted when Uncle Cody and Aunt Chelsea put this together.  In fact, the other day at Costco we were passing by another family in the aisle when without saying anything, Ian flashed the little boy a Kung-Fu move, to which the boy responded with another Kung-Fu action.  This was repeated a few times, no words were actually ever exchanged, but they were definitely speaking the same language.  Hiiiiii-Yahhhhhhhhh!!

Christmas in San Francisco

Yes, I'm backtracking to give the report on our Christmas.  We spent it with Kevin's parents in the Bay Area.  They are always so good to us.  The activities and abundance of good food never ceased to disappoint.  Kevin and I decided to run across the Golden Gate bridge and back while Grandpa and Grandma watched the kiddos.  Here is the after shot, all gross and sweaty!

Christmas morning, presents could be seen for miles.  I had to take four huge boxes of toys to DI, just so that we could fit all the new ones in the house.  Seriously, I could never buy my kids a toy again and they would still be well taken care of between Kevin's parents and my parents.

Kevin's Grandma has a couple of incredibly beautiful acres right in the middle of the Bay area.  We love to go there, enjoy the peace, and take tractor rides!



On a side note . . .
We are speaking in church on Sunday, and of course, the topic they give us is being steadfast through adversity (Elder Wirthlin's talk "Come What May, And Love It).  Sure, just what I needed.  Couldn't we be speaking about succession of the priesthood, or the pioneers or something.  I am such a ball baby anyway, I can only imagine how this is going to go!  Pray for me. Please. (wink!)

Our little Princess is 2!

Say goodbye to free entry into football games, basketball games and Disneyland . No more free airline trips or free buffets, our little Meggie is 2!

We had a delightful Princess Birthday party. Grandpa and Grandma were here, along with Aunt Chels and Uncle Cody. Meggie got dressed up in her Princess Fairy outfit she got from Grandma Carol and Grandpa Dave. My mom and I made a Princess cake, just like the ones I remember my mom making for me when I was growing up. Megan was so happy with the cake!

Funny thing about Megan:

1) She turns lots of one-syllable words into two-syllable words. Like school is "schooo--elll" and click is "caaa---lick".

2) She sticks up for her big brother. The other day, I took a toy away from Ian because he was playing with it instead of eating his dinner. Meggie promptly told me multiple time that "Ian had that thing, Mommy. Ian had that thing!"

3) She knows when she is being cute and milks all the attention out of it she can get.

4) She loves to have her toenails painted.

5) She is pretty much fearless (except for the other day going through the automatic carwash . . . scaaarrry!!)

6) She knows how to say her ABC's and count to 10.

7) She loves to sing, especially, "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam", with enhanced arm motions.

8) She loves to eat butter, yes just plain butter.  Oh yummy!

9) She gives the best hugs and kisses!

We love you Meggie!
