Idaho

Eating out with my parents and Grandma Jemmett.

With Grandma Thompson.

Eating a Chocolate ice cream cone!

Nathan and I went to Idaho to see my family for a week. We had a fun time with them just hanging out mostly. We went on lots of walks with my Dad and enjoyed the cooler weather. Thanks for the fun time!

President Hinckley

So, I was just watching this video on a Friend's blog, and it just got me all choked up. He really was a great man and a Prophet of God. I hope you enjoy this video.

Storytime

I have been meaning to post this video since before we left for Christmas, better late than never. He's "reading" the book called "What is Christmas?"

Just for Fun

These pictures are just ones that I thought were fun. Nathan loves the guitar that he got from his cousin and aunt and uncle for Christmas. In fact, it kept him sane on our long car ride back.
Here we are just posing together cause I wanted to!
And, I think this picture is funny. I had seen Nathan do this several times and just stay there for a minute. Every time I pulled out the camera to take a picture, he would stand up. So, I posed him...ok, I know that is ridiculous, but I thought it would make for a great picture!

Christmas

So we celebrated Christmas a little early at our house since we left for Idaho on the 15th. Here Nathan opened his birthday and Christmas presents. He really had fun with it! By the time that we opened presents in Parma and Coeur d' Alene, he was a pro! We had a lot of fun with our families in Idaho, just hanging out and also playing in the snow. We drove back home from CDA with a borrowed car! We will have two cars until we move...thanks to my in-laws, how heavenly for me! We forgot our camera on our trip, so until I get pics from other family members, these are all that I have!

Tagged! (Thanks a lot HOLLY!) :)

The rules: Each player list 6 facts/habits about themselves. At the end of the post the player then tags six more people.

1. I love to read! I read mostly mystery, but lately I have been expanding my selection. I still stick to fiction most of the time. :)
2. I like bowling, but hate the way my hands feel after picking the ball up 4 times. Ya know how they get all oily? YUCK!
3. When I ski, I enjoy skiing the nice little lazy-dazy cattracks. No black diamonds for me folks. In fact pretty much anything over green is not for me. I just like to go down for a mild exercise, and mostly to enjoy the outdoors!
4. I am an RN. That is, registered nurse. I have never worked as one, but maybe someday when the time is right.
5. I don’t like to iron. I think it is a pain in the rear, so I don’t do it very often. However, when I do get around to ironing a few shirts, or worse, placemats, I can’t help but think they look so much better. I still will NOT iron pillowcases, or sheets!
6. I like to bake. I prefer it over cooking dinner. Probably mostly because it typically means that it is something sweet and I have such a sweet-tooth! The bad thing about that is that sometimes these sweet treats replace meals…probably not the healthiest thing! Oh well!

I tag Becca Lind, Elizabeth Cullimore, Emily Haycock, Kimber Strasser, Jaime Waldram and Xan Pulsipher.

Ready for Church and getting into Trouble!

I just had to post a pic for my Mom with Nathan in his church outfit. I just love it when little boys have church clothes. Little girls have all those cute dresses, why can't boys be all dressed up too?? I think he just looks so cute. AND, then after church, Nathan found my wallet in the diaper bag and started pulling out my checkbook and cards and whatever else he could find...right as we're getting ready to go to Tithing settement! What a little rascal!
