My heart hurts today, because our beloved Prophet passed away yesterday. I think Sen. Orrin Hatch summed it up best when he said, "This is a sad day for us, but a wonderful reunion for him." I saw this picture on a ward website and loved it! This is how I will remember him. I loved President Gordon B Hinckley....And the worst mother of the year award goes too... ME! And it's still January! So, I was peeling potatoes in the sink the other day, and Ari wanted to help me. I put her up on top of the counter and let her 'wash' the potatoes. Brad walked into the kitchen, so I turned to put the potatoes on the cutting board (thinking she would be fine). Literally, ONE second later I heard this load thud, and my daughter was on the floor. This picture was taken four days later, because I didn't want anybody to report me to the authorities under 'Child Endangerment'. She had the biggest goose egg right in the middle of her forehead, and it bruised immediately. You can still see a little bit of bruising around the corners and under her eyes! I was sick to my stomach when it happened. I feel so bad!.jpg)
If you look closely you can see remnants of tears on her eyelashes. I moved her hair to take the picture and touched the bump. Poor child is doomed!
We go the aquarium at least once a week. Brad has a hard time focusing the camera. We still love him though.
Ari's favorite place to visit in the aquarium is the turtle pond. She loves to feed them. They swarmed her when she got up on the ledge to feed them...so...
She dropped the pole into the pond! Daddy had to fish it out, so we wouldn't have to pay for it..jpg)
I don't know what kind of face she is making. Her Uncle Rick thinks she looks like one of the Chipettes from Alvin and the Chipmunks.

And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta. | |

I get Lindsay Lohan a lot, but not Jessica Biel! There's something wrong with this program; it thinks very highly of me. |

Everybody thinks that Brad has Asian in him, because of his eyes! :) He usually gets that he looks like Nicholas Cage. I almost fell over laughing when I saw his results!

These are some pictures of what happened to the trees, just in our neighborhood, during the ice storm that happened in December. It was one of the craziest things we have ever seen. We were w/out power for 4 days! Everything looked like it was petrified in a layer of ice. Crazy!
Ari's favorite gift was the Dora the Explorer training seat we got her. She immediately stripped down and wanted to use it....and she did! What a fast learner.
The next morning she went straight for the toilet. We were so proud! These moments are the highlights of my life these days! :)
Ariana turned 2 on January 10th. We can't believe how fast she is growing up!
Okay, so I've been putting off blogging, because I was worried about our 'privacy' on the Internet. After this Christmas vacation, and EVERYBODY telling me to start one, including my Grandpa Tolman, I decided that it was time. It's probably going to take me awhile to get the hang of this, so be patient with me. :)
