Do Not Operate...heavy machinery...power tools...

...or, apparently, household knives!
I think perhaps this should be a new rule in my life. New years day I decided cutting dessert was an okay attempt for me, and now have this to show for it.

Why is food always involved in my injuries? It's just a pinky, right--no big deal! Wrong, you'd be surprised how much you need your pinky, or how much it get's in the way when it's useless!!

Baptism Dress

I took Isabelle out to get some shots in her new dress for the big day next week. She is pretty photogenic, so she did a great job--I, however need to learn more about posing a subject! These were the only three that I thought looked good, and not because of her, but because of me! Oh well, good thing she can make up for my shortcomings! And we did have fun!

Pay no attention to the car in the background! (My fault!)

Birthdays!

Isabelle is eight! We had a fun party at home with family.

She took a minute before blowing out the candles--had to get the wish just right!!

I gave her the option of having a big friend party or getting a DS for her birthday, and (yeah!) she chose the DS!

Beau also had a birthday this month. Getting better looking with each passing year if you ask me (gray really does look good on him! ;) )

Wrestling with Daddy

Ava in her tutu and teddy bear in hand is ready to take dad on!

She uses what she's got!

Notice that Isabelle waits until Ava has done the dirty work before she joins the fray!

Temple Lights

We made it to the temple to see the lights the week after Christmas. We were able to take Isabelle's friend, Savannah, and they had a great time! Ava was daddy's little girl the entire time, and was carried pretty much the whole time!

Loverboy Turns 1

The day after Christmas is Loverboy's birthday. Isabelle put together a creation of her own using all of his different treats for his birthday cake. He loved it!

Christmas Day!!

Enjoying some of the fun new toys!!

Check out those awesome dance moves!

Dora can fly--We did it, we did it!
