Seriously?

Emma had her first dress-up at Ella's house. She took it quite seriously and was getting a little ticked that Dad wanted some pictures.

Addi belted out one final laugh before tiredness set in.

It's automatic for the camera.

How's that neck feeling?

It was just another nap for Emma.

Addi takes the prize for today.

Let's Go Already

Emma decided to nap since Dad was taking too long to leave the house.

The typical morning starts off with Addi taking a crawl around the kitchen. I didn't realize her nose was nasty until after I took the picture.

Another Snooze

Emma didn't quite make it through her cereal. Homework became a lot easier for a few minutes.

Transfer City

I have fallen behind on the kid's video footage. I have three tapes waiting to be transferred. I enjoy all the footage because I'm able to pinpoint when the kids picked up certain habits along with likes and dislikes.

These are pretty good looks for a baby who didn't sleep much last night.

This is Emma's "the war is on" look.

She's Consistent

Addi is slowing starting to master the camera faces.

Fine Art

Emma made a mess...err...an art piece today. ;)

Elton Who?

Emma looks like a certain rock star.

The Grass Is Done

I spent the last two days installing sod in the back and side yards. Grass is not my favorite at the moment.

New University

Today marks my first day at Utah Valley University. I am on a quest for a Secondary Education degree and plan on student teaching during the Spring of 2010. That sounds a lot better than saying I have five semesters left. I would like to coach a high school baseball team as well in the future.

This is Emma's look just before she inflicts punishment on her sister.

Addi was admiring the fine mess I've made in the yard.

No Thanks

Addi decided she didn't need her crib.

Emma was proud of her pasta and a blurry picture of Addi is still cute.

Road Trip

Britt and I (kids too) took a drive through Unita National Park. We climbed to about 13,000 feet and I snapped a few pictures along the way. The first pic is nothing special but I thought the bird was pretty cool.

Gold Mine

This is the "holy grail" of foods when I need a couple minutes to do something.

Attention Keeper

Ashley was able to hold Emma's attention during this book. It must be the teacher in her. I can maybe get through one page before Emma runs off.

Always

...instant peek-a-boo.

Addi was on the run from Emma.

...hanging with the Borgets.

I Will If You Will

Ella discussed with Emma the thrills of irritating parents. Emma has been there and done that.

Soaked

Two year-olds don't grasp the concept of water preservation. ;)

Addi sucked on her bottom lip and gazed around the park.

We met Matt and Jackie at a park in Provo Canyon. Emma was happy to be outside.

Clock Work

Britt is gone again and the kids know it. It never fails. Emma turns into a complete demon child every night before Britt leaves out of town.

The One & Only

Emma being Emma:

• climbing countertops after told no 7 times
• encouraging Addi to climb steps
• stripping naked because she feels it's time for a bath
• carrying Kari by the neck
• dumping large amounts of water on the floor during a bath
• waking her sister countless times
• browsing the fridge at all hours of the night.

Addi keeps herself occupied a little better now.

Old Self

Addi is becoming more of her usual self after being sick.

Yikes

Emma discovered her Mac N' Cheese was a little too hot for her liking.

Addi was prompt in picking up Emma's cereal.

This is how Emma feels about moving.
