Movies for Dad

Here are clips of the girls especially for dad who isn't here to see them grow.

Grandma Week

Here's a little of what the kids were doing while staying with Grandma for a week:

Just the 2 of Us

Tyler and I got to spend a weekend alone, without children. Why haven't we done this sooner? It was so much fun. We counted it as part of our 5 year Wedding Anniversary.

As a special treat, we got a hotel in San Antonio for one night and hit the town. We saw the Alamo, the River Walk, and even the Symphony. It was a great trip.

Happy Happy Birthday Daddy Dear

Well, we didn't have the usual family together celebration, but we still all love Tyler and wanted him to know what a great dad and husband he is. Finally a UofU tie for his collection from the girls. And a neat wi-fi digital picture frame that we can update online or via e-mail so that dad will always have our latest pictures while he his deploied.
Happy 30th Tyler!!!

Niki Walking

Niki started walking in earnest just in time for Dad to be there for some of her first steps. She's also a crazy monkey and climbs up the ladder to the top. She even got onto the bed once just before she fell off, all the way to the ground. That was the end of getting to use the ladder as a toy.

Daddy Day!!!

We missed dad so much! It was so fun to have a day with just him. Thanks for giving us the break from your work trainings dad! We love you!

Skiing With Dad at Solitude's Link and Magic Carpet


Swimming With Dad at the Bountiful Rec Center

Children's Exhibit at Church History Museum

One of the benefits of staying in Utah is all of the neat church stuff that there is to do. After an hour and a half, we still had to drag the kids out of the children's exhibit. It's free and fun for all ages. If you're in the area and have some time, you really need to check it out!!!

Swimming Time

We needed a break from the house. Everyone else here is on a cruise so we decided to have a vacation of our own. We wore our matching tie-dye shirts and went to the pool. It was so much fun to be in the water again. Lily's favorite part was standing in the little pool and the slides and swimming in the big pool with the noodle. Niki liked the fountains. I just liked seeing the girls have fun.

Niki's Newest Monkey Skills

Niki is learning like crazy! She's starting to try words like: Huh?, uh-oh, book, grrrr, hello (on the phone), and her already perfected cool. Mostly they just sound like odd grunts or vowel sounds, but she's consistent with them and uses them appropriatly. Funny.

She's also got some new tricks, like walking with her stroller or from one person to another. Or climbing the bunk bed ladder. Or putting on her own necklaces (I was very proud of that one). She's such a climbing monkey it scares me sometimes. Just after I took the picture of her climbing the ladder, she fell off. After she recovered from crying she just got back up and tried climbing again. Typical crazy Niki.

Snow, Snow, Snow

We love to play in the snow! Thanks for lending us your yard grandma Sharp
