PS- I know you all really want to see pictures of our new niece Jean...but NO one has seen a photo yet...Tiff said she has lots of dark hair, squinty new baby eyes and a double chin, we still want to see a photo or two!

Congratulations to my sister and her family on the arrival of their baby this morning! (pictures to come, hopefully!)

baby books.

My sister recommended the following books for some pre baby reading (I better get reading). Are there any other good books you recommend?

I am going for University of Oklahoma to win it all...
any other predictions?

I am sure many of you have seen this - I wanted to post it for everyone to see.

Just last week my sister Tiffany and I where having a discussion about creativity in our lives, using it in our callings, and as mothers.

I feel validated by what Elder Uchtdorf says. Enjoy!

We need your help again!

I know lots of people are very happy with the Graco brand,
but has anyone tired the Chicco one?

kids.

We are in Park City for the next couple of weeks 'babysitting'

My parents are in Israel with several other friends - so we are the official babysitters! Here is a picture with us and our 'kids' (minus McKay) several years ago when we babysat them over our first wedding anniversary. They liked the wedding cake!




We hope everyone is having a fun, safe time in Israel.
