All Kinds of Faces

He loves playing on our bed... although this face kind of looks like a scream!

I think he is ready for another hair cut! I'm not sure if I'll let Jeremy touch him this time...(see lower post!)

We Love the Utah Jazz!

As many of you know we share Jazz season tickets with my family. We end up going to about 10 games a year which is perfect! Boston screams and yells with the rest of the fans! It is quite funny!

GO JAZZ!

Way to Agreeable

Jeremy is always saying things like "I am going to go buy a big truck!" Or "I think we should go buy a house today!" I always reply with "ok, sounds great!" (knowing he won't.) Well last Saturday he said he was going to shave his head, and I of course said "ok, sounds great!" Next thing I knew he looked like this! (and it got even shorter!) Maybe I better stop being so agreeable!

President Hinckley

The prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints passed away tonight. He died about 6:30pm at his apartment in downtown Salt Lake City surrounded by his family.

He was 97 years old. He has been the prophet for 13 years, and is the oldest prophet ever to have served. He will be remembered for his love for temples, and his desire for everyone to receive the blessings that can be available there. Before his presidency there were less than 50 temples, as of January this year there were 124 temples in operation. He will be remembered for his visionary idea for the Conference Center which now stands tall in Salt Lake, and holds 21,000 people. He will be remembered for bringing the church into the media spotlight. Being interviewed by the most famous of reporters including Larry King, Mike Wallace, and many others.
He will be remembered for his visits with world leaders.He will be remembered for his humor. He always knew how to make everyone smile and enjoy life a little bit more.
A very humble man, but a very powerful man who delivered this advice when I was in my youth;

• Be Grateful
• Be Smart
• Be Clean
• Be True
• Be Humble
• Be Prayerful

I will miss him. I love him. I know he led this church by the power of God. I know he is not dead, but lives. He is alive rejoicing to see his wife whom he loved so much.

I also like to think that my sister Natalia is enjoying his "homecoming party" in heaven this night.

Goodbye President Hinckley.
You will be missed.

Camille and Boston's Recommendation

Title: Not a Box

Author: Antoinette Portis

I love children's books, so from time to time I might recommend one that I have enjoyed. I loved this book because it reminded me of my childhood and playing in boxes with my sister, and imagining them to be all sorts of different things. I enjoy books where imagination is encouraged and this is exactly what this book does. This is a very simple book, with very few words on a page. Perfect for your little ones to enjoy!

Logan, Mason, and my Mom come to visit

Boston and I always love when my Mom bring Logan and Mason down to Lindon for the day! We always have so much fun! Last time they came out we went sledding on the little hill in our back yard! We had a blast!

Mason is in front, and Logan is trying out the trick that Mason taught him... standing on the back "Snowboardin'"Logan and Me trying to get Grandma and Boston with snowballs!

Mason was all smiles! He loves the snow!

After the sledding fun we went out to lunch and Logan was upset that we didn't get any Pop. He started "coughing" and when we asked him what was wrong he replied "water makes me cough, I need Pop." Don't worry we didn't give into Mr. Clever.

I Challenge You

In the last Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints General Conference, one of the apostles President Henry B. Eyring talked about how he had written in a journal every night asking himself "Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?" About two weeks ago I took President Eyring's challenge on to do this myself, and have been writing a little something each night. It has become a huge blessing in my life. I am realizing how much God really does love me, and my family. It's sad to say, but I never really took the time to notice it until now. Each day, something sticks out in my mind as a blessing from our Heavenly Father. It might be as simple as I was able to drive safely to and from Woods Cross, or how my friend Emily came and took me out for lunch on a day that I really needed to get out of the house.

I know that some of you reading this don't believe in the LDS faith. For you I would suggest to start a gratitude journal, and simply write down one thing each day you are grateful for.

I challenge each of you to start doing one of these types of journals. I promise you will soon realize that there is a God, and that he loves you. I promise that you will become increasingly happy as you follow President Eyring's, and now my challenge to each of you.

Who doesn't want to be a little more happy?

Any Suggestions?

I am desperate to find a good workout I can do indoors and with a child around! I have been checking out the "Sweatin' to the Oldies" video's by Richard Simmons... frankly I need something different! If anyone has any good ideas let me know!

3rd Major Haircut!

So during all the fun holiday festivities, family members seemed to get a kick out of making fun of Boston's hair. They would say things like "He looks like he's wearing a topee'." Or "He looks like a Sesame Street character." "You need to give this kid a Moe hawk. Were is the gel?" Well we are sick of the jokes, so we cut a good 2 inches off his "mop" last night.

BEFORE

AFTER

Luckily Boston doesn't seem to mind getting his hair cut. I guess when you start getting it cut at 2 weeks old, you get used to it. He loves looking at himself in the mirror while Jeremy cuts it. I think Boston's favorite part is the fact that he gets to wear no clothes during the whole process!

2008, It's going to be GREAT!
