Straight or Curley?

Once again these are not the cutest pictures but a lot of you have been wanting to see what my hair looks like dark. Now my brother can't say I look like Hillary Clinton.

Another tribute to the blanket

I thought she wouldn't like her blanket as much after she stopped sucking her thumb but she still has to take it wherever she goes.

Lily signs

These are the only signs that she knows so far. It is so fun to see her learning and understanding.

Just had to post it ...

I know some of you might find this offensive, but I think it's just the right touch of humor given all the things that were said about BYU football last year. Especially Austin Collie when he said something to this effect, "If you work hard and live right on and off the field, the Lord steps in and gives you a hand."

Sibling Spotlight: Adam

I thought it'd be fun to talk about my different siblings and put the spotlight on them for a bit. This is about my one and only brother, my little brother, Adam. One of the things about Adam that I like is that he will tell you until he's blue in the face that he's taller than me. In reality he's not, but that's what makes him so great. One time, when Adam and I were canning tomatoes or something like that, we heard a small noise. I thought it was the pop of a cooling can, but Adam thought that it was a dog in the background. Well, partly for fun and partly to annoy my dad for making us can, we said "Pop" and "dog" for over an hour non-stop. We shared a room until I moved out of the house to go to college, so we got to know each other pretty well. Adam helped to delay my ascent into adulthood, because we played with action figures until I was in high school. We made these elaborate bases for the ninja turtles and power rangers complete with ziplines and coat hangers that they rode on. It was amazing. Worlds were built and destroyed, epic battles raged on for millenia, and turtles fell in love with humans (and vice versa) inside our bedroom. And different times we've been best friends and worst enemies.
Adam writes books, too. He's trying just as hard as I am to get published, and with equal success. He's studying English in Utah at a four year school. He dabbles in poetry, but what I've read is really good. I used to keep him up at night making up stories, doing flashlight shadow creatures, or having contests to see who could fall asleep first. Sometimes I would make him hold my hand, even though he was on the bottom bunk and I was on the top. Three cheers for my brother, Adam!

Just being cute and silly

Now that Lily can walk, I thought she might enjoy playing outside. All she wanted to do was eat little rocks.

My favorite part about this face she makes is the huge gap between her teeth.

Uh oh she found the credit card and loves it. She always gets into my wallet.

Look mom I took off my shoes again.

I just had to put this one on because I think she is wearing the cutest little capri pants.

Finally

Lily has been refusing to walk but today for some reason she came walking into my bedroom. She has been walking all over the house ever since. It is so weird to see her walk but I am excited that she has finally learned. She kind of does a little sideways shuffle but I think it's cute.
