catch-up again...


 Matti and Kiffyn took a gymnastics class at the rec center... we were not impressed with the quality of "teaching" that went on, or rather lack thereof, but Matti had a great time and it has helped her coordination and socializing with strangers, so I guess that was worth the money...   (She's the one in the black pants and light blue leotard.)






Impromptu splash pad fun 










This is how my kids look at bugs; they are fascinated by them, especially ants and rolly-polly bugs.  Today Matti said she saw two ants and she said hi to them because they are her friends... better ants than spiders!  



This is at the Salt Lake City temple.  We went there with Tom's aunt and uncle who are not members of the LDS church.  It was a great experience and opportunity for them to ask lots of questions about our religion.  It was a very positive experience!  But a very long day; our kids NEVER fall asleep on the couch!!


more to come soon...

running in underwear...


we can fly!



It's a little freaky seeing your children launched into the air, but I trust Tom, and the kids LOVE it! It almost looks like they jumped from the 3rd story balcony!


New family pictures


It's really hard getting all four of us to smile, and not look fake about it!  Our friend Julie took the pictures and she did a pretty good job!  The ones with the whole family are ok, but I love the ones of the kids alone or with one of us.  The one with Matti and her teddy are super cute and I love the ones where Liam is "flying" with a cape and superman sign in the background.
