Mischief

Well, it seems that Davis is constantly into something these days, and yes, I do mean constantly. You know the child that you ask 'what does a cow say?' 'Moo' they respond; 'what does a cat say 'meeow' they respond; 'what does a mommy say? 'no no no' they respond...I'm pretty sure that will be what Davis says because I feel like I am always telling him 'no no no' because he is always getting into something or other! We have put locks on every cupboard and drawer possible, but I tell you, there is not stopping him! Here are some of his recent 'mischief' pictures.

The drawer under the stove is probably his favorite spot in the house. He likes to put his toys and treasures in there as well as himself.

This happens at least once a day at our house-and I took the picture on a good day-usually Davis tears the toilet paper into as many pieces as he can before I catch him. Bless his heart. I love cleaning up toilet paper bits. He also really likes to play in the toilet water. And sometimes drink it. Fabulous.

The Funeral Circus

Today we went to Steve's Great-Grandma Black's funeral. She died at the age of 93 and although I didn't know her well, it was great to hear about what a neat lady she was-at least what I got to hear of the service, since Davis was putting on the usual 'church circus'. I have been hating church the last few weeks because he is out of control-but seriously who can expect a one year old to to sit still and be quiet for 3 hours? The funeral was no exception, with the very best part being when I hear him hacking and look back and see the entire peanut butter sandwich I had just fed him thrown up all over the chapel floor. Mmmm. Fun to clean up and nice to have Davis pants-less for the rest of the funeral. I think he sees the church and thinks 'what can I do today to make my mom dad crazy?

Good Books?

Does anyone have any good book recommendations? I need something new and fun to read!

Samantha gets married!

Steve's littlest sister, Samantha was married to Jon Hastings this last Saturday. It was beautiful and we had such a fun weekend with them and everyone coming into town for the wedding.

This was a great day for the Larsen's-their last child to be married and all 5 kids married in the temple. What great parents (and in-laws!)

Steve's brother Keith, and his wife Jenny stayed with us which was so much fun. They brought their youngest, Josh, who is 9 days younger than Davis. They were so cute together-following each other around the house and playing really well together. We loved having them visit as well as Stacy and Michelle. So much fun to get to spend time together. We love you all and feel the void now that everyone has gone back to their respective far away homes!

Warm Weather

Can I just say I love the weather today? I will take 50 degrees anytime. I feel like we have been in a deep freeze forever and I am so happy to be able to go outside without a coat and see the sun (and all the snow melting:). I know it is supposed to snow again tomorrow, but I have been enjoying today so much!

Go Jazz!

So I love the Jazz! The last couple of years I have become a huge Jazz fan...when Steve worked for Modern Display, they had great tickets and we got to go to a lot of games, which made it so much fun. I gained a huge appreciation for the team and the game and now I am an addict. We had a lot of fun at the game on Monday night with the Larsens (thanks again Jill). The beginning of the season this year wasn't so great, but can I just say that 10 straight wins is pretty good! We have finally started to win on the road and the win against the Nuggets in overtime last night was just really great. I also have to say that Korver was such a great trade. So glad to have him and his awesome 3 pointers. We were glued to the T.V. and I just can't get enough. Keep up the good work, Jazz!!

President Hinckley

I stole this picture from my friend Sharon's blog since I was too lazy to find my own-but I love it! They have got to be the cutest couple. We tried to go to President Hinckley's viewing on Friday, but waited until the afternoon and after waiting in line for over 2 hours and the wait was about another 2 hours, we had to leave before we got to see him. It was incredible the amount of people that were there to pay their final respects to their prophet. After watching President Hinckley's funeral yesterday I have been thinking incessantly about him and my feelings for him and the gospel. I just feel so blessed and lucky to have lived at the time that he served as the prophet of our church. What an incredible man and an incredible example he has set. As we watched the funeral yesterday I just thought about how amazing his commitment to the Lord and the gospel was. Although he was not a martyr for the church, he truly gave his life for it and to it. He did so many incredible things during his time as prophet. 50 temples dedicated in one year, not to mention many many many other things. Amazing. He is an example to me as I strive to be more dedicated and commited to my beliefs. President Hinckley truly was the prophet of God and I love him, respect him, and am so thankful to Heavenly Father for the time we had to learn from him. He will be greatly missed.
