January

Sophie rang in the new year by  loosing her second tooth. We were at the Carlson's for a party and it had been loose for a month.    I had tried a couple of times, but it wouldn't budge.  We tried again and out it came.  I hate the feeling of tooth on tissue.  Same thing with unloading clean glass dishes.   That feeling...  

Anyway, 2 gone, lots to go.  Made her another nighty, this time out of flannel.

Jennifer and I joke that we are sister wives.  It isn't a bad concept... :)

The cousins are having a blast playing together.  If Sophie had her way, she and Czarina, Bella, and Olivia would be connected at the hip.  They wanted me to take pictures of their toddler dolls with glitter stickers.

 

Sophie and Bella were in charge of Family Home Evening last night, and it concluded with a scripture movie and popcorn.

Gunner is growing, growing, growing and really likes playing bowling with the kinect.  He still says funny things.  He called me a knuckle head, tells us that his poop is going to be a really big one,  tells me I am the best mommy ever to butter me up when he tries to /gets to crawl into bed in the middle of the night.  He calls Makayla and Olivia by their first and middle names when he is mad at them.  At FHE last night we were signing songs and he changed the words from itsy bitsy spider.  Down came the rain and washed the spider out...of my butt.  He really is sweet, but he gets funnier and funnier.  I need to start writing them down when I hear them, because I can't remember them all.

I started my travel wall.  I have lots to add and lots more places to go.  My favorite travel quote is, "I haven't been everywhere, but it is on my list".

We are trying to teach Sophie the value of earning something.  It has been a hard concept for her.  She keeps saying, "I promise I will appreciate if you just give it to me now!".

Chris has passed by this field a couple of times and found some eagles feasting, so we took a drive to see them.  But by the time we got there them turned into him.

 We have a great hill next to us and since we have had some good snow we have gone a couple of times
