Lindsay got a new digital camera for Christmas. It's one that is designed for kids. It has some fun settings where you can add things to the pictures. I know these won't win any photography awards, but I thought they were fun. Lindsay is having a great time with it. Yesterday she took 95 pictures herself! She takes after her grandma! (which is a good thing :-)

Piggy Nose!

Lindsay the viking!

Even Daniel joined in on the fun!
Actually he sat their wondering what in the world we were doing!

um...no comment! Just kidding...Lindsay is always an angel!

Josh said he's going to put this as his profile picture on Facebook!

I like this background....I think it would be way cute
for pictures of the kids playing outside in the snow.

Update

We haven't been up to much lately...just getting ready for Christmas! Lindsay is so excited. She asks almost every day, "Is it Christmas Eve yet?" We are opening our presents Christmas Eve morning, and then heading to Idaho. We are spending time with both of our families and are very excited. We are all ready for Christmas and have all of our presents bought and wrapped.
Saturday we drove around Cache Valley looking at Christmas lights. Lindsay loves the lights. She said, "They make me happy!". It was very cute. We went to Preston and there is a house there that has TONS of lights. It was awesome.
Daniel is finally starting to sleep better. We are all grateful!
Lindsay is also starting to eat better. She is growing out of her clothes and shoes!
Daniel and Lindsay both wore their Christmas outfits to church yesterday. Daniel looked so grown up and handsome, and Lindsay was very cute. She loves new dresses. I'll post some pictures later.
Daniel still isn't crawling but can get around pretty well. He scoots on his bum, rolls over, turns himself, and reaches for anything he wants. He's got his system down! I think he isn't crawling because he knows how much I want him too. But, then I'd have to baby-proof more, so I guess I'm glad he isn't crawling quite yet. Its hard to believe he'll be a year old in just 2 months!
We wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Scrapbooking

I found an awesome digi-scrapbooking site. It is Smilebox.com. I did one of Lindsay's birthday. Let me know what you think!

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at my parents house. It was great! Brian was even able to come from Las Vegas. As I have posted before, Lindsay LOVES Brian! She talks about him all the time, and how he lives in Las Vegas and has an airplane (well, in her mind he does). We had a lot of fun. Lindsay and Hannah got to have a sleepover, and besides Lindsay keeping Hannah awake, they had a lot of fun. They are "Best Cousins". It was so good to be together!

Lindsay's birthday

We had Lindsay's 3rd birthday party in Idaho at Leo's place on Nov. 1. Lindsay had a great time with her cousins Hannah, Kamryn, Kelli, Karter, Jerome and Remington. She wasn't quite sure of the play place, though. Maybe she wasn't quite old enough. Anyways, she had a lot of fun and loved all of her presents. Thanks, everyone!

Daniel joining the fun

Isn't the cake all over the face of a 3 year old cute?

I like this picture- she looks so grown up!

Halloween costumes

Our cute little princess, and her "frog prince" on Halloween. They were so cute!

Hogle Zoo

In October, we went to Hogle Zoo with my parents, Scott, Jennifer and Hannah. We had a lot of fun. Lindsay and Hannah loved seeing the animals, and they were very well behaved. Well, except for Lindsay running away from Jennifer at the end of the day... Anyways, here are some pictures.

Doctor!

We had the kids check ups today! I really like our new doctor. We went to Treehouse Pediatrics and the doctor was Dr. Bell. They did so good. Lindsay was a little scared about the flu shot, but she was very brave. She got a garfield bandaid and a sucker. She only cried for a minute. Daniel did very good too. Here are their stats:
Lindsay - 3 years old
27 lbs (20%)
36 1/2 inches (45%)

Daniel - 9 months old
17 lbs 8 oz (10%)
27 1/2 inches (25%)

We may be starting Daniel on some formula so he doesn't always seem so hungry. They also both got prescriptions for flouride since it is not in the water here. Afterwards, we went to the library, the DMV (got the plates for our new van!), the post office, and finally McDonalds. Lindsay picked the restaurant because she was so good at the doctor. We are all tired now!
