Today...

We haven't been up to too much around these parts lately.  I am happy to report that I feel like I'm starting to adjust quite well to this grown up life of mine.  I don't complain (as much) when Bart gets home from work later than normal.  I enjoy going places with my two kiddos and it's not so hard to cart them around.  MacKay is being such a good eater, a good little walker and such a sweet boy.  Whitney loves preschool and plays like she's Miss Leanne every afternoon.  She is growing up so quickly and I can't believe she's already in size 4T clothes.  Bart's job(s) are coming along nicely and we're starting to feel like we've got our feet underneath us, once again.  It feels good to find a "normal" again.

Last weekend we went down to BYU and saw some of our old stompin' grounds.  Whit is a big BYU fan and gets SO excited when she sees the Y on the mountain.  We ate at the CONE (Creamery on Ninth East) and walked around campus.

Then we drove over to our first married apartment at VillaMaria Apts.  It's now called something else, but the name escapes me.  We also drove to Monaco Court Apts. where we managed for a year.  There was something so sweet and fun about those first few years we were married.  Bart and I were both a little sentimental when we saw apt #133 at VillaMaria.  Oh, the good old days!



Today Whitney went on her first field trip ever.  Sweet Miss Leanne plans such great field trips.  We went to the Farm at Thanksgiving Point.  The sun was shining, the grass was green, the flower buds were ALL blooming and beautiful... BUT... IT. WAS. COLD!  Not like, "oooh, it's chilly.. I should get a coat."  It was more like, "Unpack those winter boxes!  I need hats, gloves, boots and my parka!"

I took some pics that I need to upload.  Whitney petted a cow, but refused to do the pony ride after I stuck her on the pony.  MacKay was his jolly-old-self.  It is so fun to see Whitney in a social setting with a teacher and friends.  We are lucky to have Little Thinkers so close to our house!



I've officially got a cold.  I had one (much worse) last year around this same time.  Hoping this one doesn't turn into pneumonia, like last year.  Doping up on vitamins and cold medicine.


Here are the kids from pictures at the park a couple of weeks ago.  Discovery Park in PG... very cool.

I enjoyed General Conference this past weekend.  There is such a calming Spirit during conference weekend.  I love it.  I tell Bart that I wish every weekend was Conference.  I've also realized since having children, I don't get to watch/listen as closely as I would like.  But there's a time and a season for everything, right?  I also saw the sweetest online video called Dayton's Legs.  It's a great 3-minute video that will inspire anyone who watches it.  Click HERE to watch it.  Warning:  It will bring tears to your eyes!

I love my cuties...
