hidden treasure

While going through my Gmail inbox today, I came across a video that Aaron sent to me years ago. It was so cute that I had to share!

It's hard to believe Talbi was ever that small! I sure love this kid!

Money was incredibly tight for Christmas this year, so instead of buying toys for my nieces and nephews I made journals. I thought they turned out cute.

Comments: Sure, a few smudges on the walls........but WHAT is that mysterious brown spot on the unicorn Pillow Pet???? ("It's a pillow, it's a pet. It's a Pillow Pet!" -- Darn annoying infomercial.)

FROM THE MOUTHS OF BABES:

"I just gotta....Almost there...."

"No, no. I'll just hold MYSELF up all night."

"Does this duck come off?"

"I've got my toes.....Now, could you wipe my nose?"

"Buh-Bye!"

"See, Mommy? My feet aren't pooey-stinky. They're nummy!"

"Um, guys? A little help here?"

"Thanks, Mom. You're the greatest!"

"What happens next, Sophie?"

"This IS my Happy Rock Star Face."

"Shame. Shame, shame."

"This foot looks pretty suspicious."

"It is not slime! It is mucus!"

"Say 'Cheese', Bay-in!" (photo courtesy of Sophie Sandstrom)

"I just taked my hair out."

"I'm ready to visit HoneyGram & Papa!"

"It's just a dinosaur from down the street. Just a dinosaur."

"This can't be a natural pose for any man."

Sierra had some exciting moments in her final basketball game of the season. The first video is of Sierra trying to keep possession of the ball. I was fighting the urge to yell, "Fight, fight, fight!" I didn't want to get kicked out of the game. The second video is of Sierra's shot. It's right at the end of the video. The beginning isn't that exciting.

And what would a basketball game be without spectators?
