Our dear friends Scott and Kristi just adopted their third child.  They let me and Tara take some photos {and practice our skills}.  Thanks Annabelle and the Phillips family.

Below are some "bloopers" for your enjoyment!!!

"oh, no"

"no more photos, let me sleep in peace"

Quinn's.

Grandpa Quinn brought these hats home from his trip - check out Truman confused face!

Uncle McKay and Truman 'hanging' out.

Spring Fling.

Our ward had a Spring Fling dinner/dance tonight.  I thought I would share photos of the table I decorated.  Unfortunately I had to leave Gregg home sick with bronchial pneumonia, yuck.  I spent most of the night in the kitchen doing dishes with friends!

friday flashbacks.

August 1999

{if you are interested, I am second in from the right in the yellow dress.  Tiffany is on the far left, standing with the green dress.  Anthony is kneeling in front of her.  Nathan is standing behind me with one arm folded, Dallin is sitting on the whale and McKay is sitting to the left of me on my mom's lap!}

red rocking chair.

My parents have his cute little red rocking chair {I think it might have been mine}.  I set Truman in it and he started to rock.  I don't know how he knew to rock.

This is how Truman gets out of the chair.

No big deal!

Gregg is trying to teach Truman how to throw a football.

Can you ever start too young?!

sunday night.

Our night started with a 'bake off" between Nathan {above} and McKay {below} when they could not agree on what dessert to make.

Nate made chewy peanut butter bars and McKay made classic brownies.
Can you ever go wrong with peanut butter?

My cousin Jake {pictured above} came over with his wife April and their son Dallin for dinner and some games.

Truman and Dallin had fun playing together.
{Are they second cousins or first cousins once removed?  And what is the difference?}

I am not sure who's idea it was to play Chinese checkers, but we did!

kid control

what a cutie {this picture if for his grandma Trent!}

Thanks Trents for a fun night.

PS- Does anyone know why my pictures sometime don't show up?  They do on my computer...

skiing.

Gregg took Truman skiing at Deer Valley today. We strapped Truman in the Baby Bjorn onto the front of Gregg.  I think Truman enjoyed it.  He talked on the lift and flapped his hands the entire run down.

I can't ski yet {doctors orders} so I just went up to be the photographer and watch.  What a beautiful day, and we had lots of new snow!

 We are in Park City for the next week 'babysitting' McKay while my parents are out of town.  He skiied Park City with Nathan today {check out that new smile - he got his braces off, yahoo}.

PS - We watched this movie last night.  I highly recommend it!

Tiffany, Camille and Anthony

about 1986 {that would make Tiff 6, me 4 and Ant 2}

FHE:swimming

We took Truman swimming last night at the Homestead.  He has always liked the water {bath, showers, etc}.  I think he got a little to tired last night - by the time we took him out of the pool his bottom lip was quivering.  

I swam a couple of laps for the first time, in a long time, to get ready for my Triathlon

{remember one of my new year's goal's ... click here}.

Another new year's goal I am working on, our scrapbooks.  Thanks to some great late night Olympic's watching I finished my scrapbook from my trip to Brazil.
