Bridger was really into an apple, licking it over and over. When we asked what he was doing, this is what we found....










...he had put a candy cane in it. Reminds me of boys who would put comic books inside their reading book ;)

swallowed a frog

I'm laughing so hard at Aubrin right now! She came up to me and her voice was warbling all over the place. So I asked if she had a frog in her throat. She looked at me and then felt around her mouth with her little fingers. Then she looked at me with a puzzled look and said, "No."

(She's a mess and not dressed, but I loved the above picture)

I'm grateful for...

I'm so grateful for many things in my life, but these are the top on my list:

I'm grateful for my Savior and his gospel.
It is the only thing in my life that makes complete sense.

I'm grateful for my family.

My cute little family!

(and a great friend that takes amazing pictures!)

I'm grateful for the abundance of food that I have to nourish my body with and keep it strong and healthy.

I'm grateful for Rocksy. She has taught me so much and makes me go walking ;).

I'm grateful for books. I'm also grateful for the inspired people that write them. Through them I've learned so much and hopefully I can repay the debt someday.

I'm grateful to be an American. I'm also grateful for all of my ancestors that had the guts to come to this wild country. Because of it, I am who I am.

I'm also grateful for all of my wonderful family and friends.

You make life that much more enjoyable.

And yes, he was in "grateful for family," but I am really grateful for this great man.

A very happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Tight-lining anyone?

OK ~ taking care of two blogs is getting a little wild. So I hope you don't mind that I just direct you to my other one. I just did a post about tight-lining and there are some super cute pics of Aubrin up. Hope you guys are having a great day! Here's the LINK.

My school room, Before and After

Bookshelves Before

This was the mess I lived in and it drove me nuts! We originally had

a second large bookshelf against the right wall, but it was very unstable. So the
books went on the floor and it came down.

Bookshelves After

This is my interpretation of a Thomas Jefferson Education bookshelf ~ shelves
and cabinets galore! And I actually have empty space for more books.
It is so wonderful to have it done (except for paint) and the very best part ~
It is secured against the wall. :)

Halloween Pics

We had a great Halloween! We had some great friends over and we ate good food and played fun games!

Fantastic Contraption

A few months ago we were introduced to a fun online physics game and I just have to share a couple of contraptions that Bridger built today. I was totally impressed!

Bridger's "Rock"

Bridger's "Rock #2"

Bridger's "Twister"

Once you are to the page to watch it, click on the top left button that says "start." By the way ~ if you decide to build your own contraptions, BEWARE!
It can become addicting. ;)
