Dinner Time

We should be getting our camera back today or tomorrow. Boy, are we excited! I found a pic that is only about a month old but I thought it was appropriate to post. Sasha at dinner time. It is so awesome when the kids are old enough to feed themselves! She has great table manners, proper etiquette, and to top it all off ... she has perfect eye-hand to mouth coordination. As you can see in the following picture, she loves dinner time!

No Camera!!

So, for the last couple of weeks we have been without a camera because it went on the fritz. We sent it in to the manufacturer because it is still under warranty. Hopefully, we'll get it back sometime this week. So, needless to say, we have no pictures to post unless you want to see old ones. We'll just keep this one short for today.

Sasha got her first burn the other day. We were at a friend's house for a BBQ. Brit went outside to check on the chicken and somehow the screen door got opened up again after he went through. He did not know that Sasha was on his tail like a shadow. There were two BBQs because we had quite a few people there and one of them was a little portable propane grill. Sasha learned very quickly not to drum on the lid of the grill. We would have a picture of her hand, but as I said before, we can't take a picture of it right now. It turned her palm red, but nothing more. Fortunately, she was quick about it and didn't touch it for very long, otherwise she might have had some nasty blisters. Other than that, it was a great BBQ.

Father's Day was nice. Got some cookies from church. Hilary cooked her first pot roast in the crockpot and it was delicious. I am still having leftovers for lunch. I think its going to last all week long! Brit is spending lots of time writing a paper so that he can hopefully get on to Gonzaga's Journal of International Law. We shall see. The paper is going very slowly. We are excited to come down to SLC next week for Emy's wedding (Hilary's sister) and to see all the family. We probably won't have time to see everyone we would like to. So, sorry to you if we miss you.

Sasha's got some more teeth coming in. Some molars on the top and a couple on the bottom are thinking of coming in. Long story short: it's been a few long days and nights. Thank goodness for children's Tylenol!!!!!!

In all honesty, that is about all that is happening in our lives right now. We'll be sure to post any cool stories that come about, but as for now, we are not that cool. (Or I just can't remember the stories).

Oh, one more: Sasha ran into the wall yesterday so she has a nice scar on her cheek. Hopefully it is gone before the wedding pictures next week. If not, too bad for Emy.

Here's a shout out to the Brewers for setting up the Sugarhouse Ward blog. Loved it!! Loved seeing everyone on the Luau video. We wish we could have been there. Miss you all.

Sasha's one year (one month belated)

(Quick confession - I just made some formatting changes to the blog so the older posts may not look as organized. Things got shifted around a little becuase the width of the page has been changed. Just some minor bugs to fix. I only have one question ... Why is it that the preview looks nothing like what actually gets posted? It makes it difficult to post a blog that looks exactly like you want it to.) As you all know, Spring is here ... Brit has started sneezing every 10 minutes and the weather went from just thinking about warming up straight to 80+. And to top it all off, our church building has just recently completed some add-on construction but somehow they broke the air-conditioner. Needless to say, all the kids were very restless and grumpy at church because it was so hot. Anyway, can you believe it is June 2007? Seems like just yesterday was Y2K.


Here is one of my new favorite pictures of Sasha. She loves these glasses. Unfortunately, she broke the temple right off. I tried to fix it with some JB-Weld but that didn't last very long. Too bad, she would walk around the house for hours with those things on.


A week or two ago we had her one-year portraits taken and we just got some of the digital (low-res) prints. We can't wait for the real ones to come so we can frame them and put them on our walls!



(Disclaimer: these are copyrighted but the company gave us permission to post these low-res pics. Anyone can order the real ones stright from the company)






We just think she is the cutest little thing in the world! Her hair is starting to get long in the back. She has so much character and spunk. She is very quick to figure things out and loves, loves, loves to read. We are so grateful to have her in our home and as part of our family. She is truly a blessing and brings so much joy into our lives.
