Massages

Like mother like son. Amulek enjoys a good massage every now and then. 

Reading Time

Amulek loves books. He will sit in his chair, pull a book off the shelf and "read" out loud to himself. I often feel him nudging my leg and look down to see him bringing me a book. We also love going to the library for Toddler Time. They sing songs, read a story, and have a puppet show. There are usually a lot of kids and their moms and Amulek loves the social aspect. He was a bit shy at first but now he is getting in the middle of the action with the rest. 

5 Little Monkeys

Amulek has a book with the monkey song in it. You know, the five little monkeys jumping on the bed?  In case you didn't know the song, here is Amulek singing it for you. 

Sunday Cookies

We are certainly enjoying our new house and the neighborhood we live in. We have received visits and goodies from our neighbors, so this Sunday we decided to make cookies and return the favor. Also, we have to enjoy the last few days of warm Fall weather. Amulek was peaking out at us and laughing. Then he ran off. This kid has it in for us...

Yes. We're freaks.

Yes. 

We are freaks. 

Amulek got this balloon at the homecoming parade and later we used it as a punching bag. But I decided we needed some faces on the punching bag. So we drew each other. I thought my hastily-drawn Lamoni was a pretty good likeness. 

However, I think Lamoni could have put in a little more effort on his drawing of me. 

Oh well. Now we have this gem floating around the house to punch around. 

If I had $100....

I read an article recently where women were asked what they would do if they had an extra $100 to spend however they wanted. So, I decided to give it a try!

If I had $100 I would:

Buy this book. 

Get more command strips and frames to hang pictures in our rental home. 

A shopping spree to DI, my favorite store, where I would look for items similar to these:

A comfy sweater. 

Long sleeve tshirts in neutral colors.

With my remaining $25 or so we would go out to eat. Probably Italian or Asian. Maybe Sushi. Hmmm...

And there you have it. What would you do with $100?

World's Fair

We know some peeps that throw awesome parties. Like a formal steampunk masquerade for Halloween. We decided to go western steampunk with our costumes, though my camera was down at the time so we didn't get any pics of the cool details such as the clock and spring coil on my hat, or the pocket watch, etc. But we sure did have a great time!

BYU Homecoming

I know. It has been a while since our last post. Like a few months. Like since we were in Mexico. That is why I thought these pictures would be a good new start for us. Not only was in BYU homecoming today but we are enjoying our other new homecoming. Yes, we are finally settled back into our old routine here. And we're lovin' it!
