reply to charts

Jaliz: they are 11" x 4'-0" but you mount them 2' off the ground so they go til 6'

Kelli which one would you like?

Alisha: let me know when you want to pick it up. My parents live in Lindon so we can do the exchange there if you want.

Shameless Plug



I have started to make growth charts on account of my mom. I made her one a few years ago because she was painting over where she had marked with a pencil. Many people have asked me for one since so I'm selling them. They are great because they're beautiful and you can take them with you when you move. You just choose a marker color for each child and on ever birthday you rub the vinyl onto your chart. They're 39.99 but I'm offering friend and family (that's you) the chart for 29.99. Take a look! They come in 6 designs and 4 colors. You can get any combination you want and I'll deliver it to your house if you're in Utah.

Snow Day




Saturday we got dumped on and today it is warm and sunny, perfect for the babies first snow day. I can't say they love snow boots or snow but they were curious. It did not take long for them to fall and get cold hands. They mostly stuck to the sidewalk.

Tickle Tickle woof woof

Years ago Cam and I watched one of those hidden camera shows where they secretly watch people doing stupid things. In this particular episode they put people in a room with a box full of ticklish objects and asked them to tickle themselves. This is scientifically impossible but we had a great laugh. Well Luca is a very ticklish little guy and loves when we tickle his tummy and feet. Recently he has taken to tickling himself when ever the mood strikes him. You'll catch him walking around with shirt up around his armpits saying, "tickle tickle" while he attempts to tickle his tummy. He will also do his feet while he's in the high chair. I find this pretty remarkable considering that he can only say a handful of words.


He also has a major dog fetish and so we bought him the live version of 101 dalmation at the library for $1. He loves to watch it and today I caught him petting the tv where the dog was at. He also barks endlessly.

that's ridiculous

Saturday we went to the so you think you can dance concert. I was so bugged that the parking costs 10 dollars after I already spent 61 on a ticket so I decided to find alternate parking. We parked at the movie theater across the street and told the attendant that we were seeing a movie. I felt really sly as we walked up to the building then secretly around to cross the street on the other side. To my great surprise there were people in orange vests guarding the street so we went another way and another attendant came after us so we turned around and ran for it. We ended up paying the ten bucks. What a rip off!!


Once in the building we found our seats and discovered that we were on the front row of the bleacher section after all the ground seats. We felt like we had good seats until the show started and the whole ground section stood up. We couldn't see anything and I was mad. Kate asked if we could go to another row of empty seats about 10 rows behind us. The attendant asked the supervisor and then they told us to follow them. They took us to our own personal box about 5 rows back from the stage. It was awesome!!!!! You could almost touch them and we paid nothing for the crazy good seats!!!

skills change

I used to have skills like being flexible when I danced, or drawing floor plans, or making jewelry now my skill set has changed drastically but I'm still proud of it. Today I changed the sheets on my bed while two toddlers jumped on it. I mean that I removed the old sheets and put on the new sheets without them ever getting off the bed. I'm not going to lie I'm pretty impressed with myself.

I'm the mama

The babies have been saying da da for months and I have been trying to teach them to say mama for months. Finally this week Stella came through and said mama, only problem is she thinks she's mama. She points at herself and says, "mama, mama." I think it's because I'm always pointing at myself and saying mama. Oh well it's a start.


I went to the MS dr. this week and got some good news. I'm looking good and the MS is in remission. Also people with MS don't need flu shots. Their immune system is so revved up that they fight off flu by themselves and tend to get sick a lot less often than other people. I think that's pretty cool.
