Year in review - Abby


Abby has had quite a year. She finished her first dance class earlier this year and had her first dance recital, cutting a rug to the melodious tune "Baby-face". She's been the ideal student in Sunbeams and preschool, learning to swing by herself, her letters and how to write her name, and basically all the educational things that her parents couldn't seem to teach her. She's learned who President Hinckley is and that Christmas is about Jesus (and Santa). Jesus first, and Santa as a close second.

Her first bike got too small for her and she graduated to a big-girl bike (now tripped out with a basket and streamers). Berenstain Bear books and cartoons took over as her favorite reading and shows, so much so that they are now a part of her daily walk and talk. And, on top of all this, she turned 4 this year. Not 5 yet, but 4. AND she got a doll that "poops, cries, and pees".

Year in Review - Collin


Collin turned 2 this year and is, well, awesome. He can keep up with his sister riding a bike around the neighborhood and regularly makes the 3 mile trek to and from one of our local parks. He jumps off of anything, whether we ask him to or not. He sleeps with footballs, golf balls, basketballs, and soccer balls. He likes Mickey Mouse and loves, loves, loves trains, trains, trains and more trains. Airplanes and trucks are cool too, but he loves trains.

On a more personal note for him, he's also getting pretty good at saying his prayers and is roughly 75% potty trained, if you can give potty training a raking. He's quick to say sorry and give hugs, and is a joy to have in our house. Basically, he rules.

If you haven't seen the video of him climbing our dresser, or the video of him jumping on the trampoline, check out the following links:
