Pictures

So, family photos (well actually any type of actually set up semi-professional photos) are something I am TERRIBLE about! I always want them done, they just never seem to get done. I hate asking people to do it for me (i don't know why) and then when I do, they just never seem to get done for one reason or another - mostly because my hubby is usually never around or way to busy during day light hours. So, even though it was freezing cold and there were a million other things better to do, my good sport of a sister-in-law bundled up with us and took some family photos. It started out as a 'let's just get this over with and if you hold still and smile I'll buy you an ice-cream cone' photo shoot, but ended up with Dean picking more spots to try "just one more." Miriam is WONDERFUL!!! I love her! I picked two of my favorites real quick because dinner is getting blacker and blacker by the minute, so check out her photography blog for all her amazing work. And if you are ever in the Rexburg area needing a picture...... just sayin! Thank you Miriam!!!

The only thing I am worse at then getting pictures taken, is getting them printed.... Seriously, if you've been in my house, it looks like we only have two children.... Sad!

Toad!

By request - here are some videos of our little toad, Taybri! She is trying awfully hard to grow up way too fast! Brylie was walking by the end of 8 months. Taybri only has 3 days left to match her, I don't think she'll make it, but she is awfully close! (Sorry for the tv in the background, my annoying voice, and the Christmas totes stacked up - our garage is under construction, so they haven't made it out yet - pictures of that soon to come!)

This next video is of her today when I was unloading the dishwasher. The blender had some water left in the bottom of it and when she figured it out.... well, you'll see. It had to have tasted soapy, but she just kept going for more and like a good mom, I video taped it instead of stopping her. Sometimes she puts her toys in her mouth so she can crawl away with them. You'd think she was mimicking the dog, but we don't have a dog.... She also LOVES paper! We joke that after she finishes eating dinner, we give her a piece of paper for dessert! She has sabotaged a piece of homework or two.... Should I be worried?
