so here is what's really funny

She's OBSESSED with the movie Dumbo. She calls it Elephant. Every time she says elephant it sounds like "OH $#!&". I'm not sure how descriptive I should be, but it is SOOOOOO FUNNY! When she wants to watch Dumbo, she walks around saying "OH bleep" "OH bleep"

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK!

Please Go.
so moving. so inspiring.

Heidi's prayer quotes from this week:

"Thank you that we don't even see bats, and that we don't even see dinosaurs"

"Thank you that I don't fight very much and if I do I'm just kidding"

"Thank you that we can bless our daddy's birthday"

"Please help Gwen to not pull hair"

General expression of hers (whenever I ask her to "come here" or "help out" or "pray", etc.):

Mom that just makes me too busy. (even though she is lying on the floor doing NOTHING)

a little bit of our christmas

christmas morning... lil' santa and her helper

new sleeping bags from gram and papa
the best big plastic child ride on toy EVER. it's so much easier than a stroller and WAY more fun.
o holy night?

got a great picture of mom and dad, hard to get mom on this side of the camera!

gotta love parks, cousins, and pigeons

picture tickets on the freeway...

they totally work, but hey, now that we are all going to be going the speed limit, can't we make it a little higher?

okay, well it was nice to leave up that last post forever.... but now I'm just desperate to get something else up. I'm at Dandi's house so, I went to her pictures and this was the first I found of my fam.
NICE, really, NICE picture.
I'm not sure which HAIR I'm more afraid. The purple fireball on top of my head, or Todd's nice little peak up his sleeve.

enjoy ladies.

This photo is from the amazing glen lakes ward youth temple trip. I didn' go, but my life was touched through my brother, father, and many many friends experiences. It's so strange now to consider what it must be like to be living here on this earth and not to have a knowledge and testimony about what it is all about.
I am grateful for FOREVER, and knowing that that is how long I have to be with my husband, and children.
I am grateful for Temples. The peace I feel when I am there. I don't know if there is any other time in my life that I can feel so CLEAR MINDED, CONTENT, and SURE.
I am grateful for my little bro. who is serving the Lord in FREEZING Idaho. What a sweet thing to see my little brother being so COURAGEOUS and setting such a WONDERFUL example of building, seeking for, and sharing your TESTIMONY of the Savior.
I am grateful for my husband who's BOTTOM LINE in life, the deepest truest desire of his heart is to be a RIGHTEOUS, good husband and father. I know that whatever bumps we hit along the way, it will all be okay. because? bottom line- he is striving to find out and do whatever the Lord requires of him.

I got "tagged" a million years ago about 6th folder, 6th picture.... etc. So here it is...
This is Heidi when she was a little little baby. Todd had gotten her the elephant booties, so I must have been taking a picture to show them off. She had more hair than Lilli or Gwen. In fact, Gwen is now almost 2 and barely has that much hair. Heidi has two callicks (sp?) on the back of her head... so it always created a cute little mohawk.
Heidi has always been our little monster. She is so much more emotional than Lilli was, but always one to growl and attack!
