Enjoy Conference!

I'm thankful that we have a prophet today, President Thomas Monson. I hope I learn A LOT today and tomorrow.

Our resident rocker

Although she is definitely more toned down here than usual, at least you get a glimpse of Violet's inner global rock star. Look out world!

She is dancing to songs in the Phineas & Ferb music video episode. Her favorite two are "Busted" and "Gitchee Gitchee Goo."

Please work....puh-leeeese! This will be the first video clip I've ever posted. So far, forget simply not being fast, its so slow, Sid the Sloth a.k.a Lord of the Flame, would shake his head in dismay.

Ok, that did not work.

Now what? Grrrrr.

Valentines and more...

Our hard drive is messed up and nearly every picture we have is on it. Some are on Fb, our blog and on CD's but oh how I hope we get this hard drive fixed. :/ I'm making a photobook of Violet now and its been so fun to look back over pics from different resources. Its just tough to not have ALL of my originals digital files. Quick updates: We are potty training Violet. Sometimes great, sometimes not. Cliffie is doing well in school. He likes singing and arts and crafts and learning things like days of the week, counting, trick words and letters. He told me that now that they are playing outside again, they can run but
only on the grass. There is no running on their indoor playground (called Dome Room). He is hopefully going to Columbus for Kindergarten. Its our first choice. Cliffie isn't too big on change so I'd like him to stay there and I like the school overall. He will be evaluated to see what, if any, help he might need in social situations. Violet loves to wear little or no clothes. She likes to put other people's shoes on. Violet tries to be quite independent and gets into all kinds of things. She will push chairs around to get onto counters to get stuff down from up on the fridge or in cupboards. Violet seems to like story time a little more than Cliffie but once I get reading for awhile, then Cliffie will usually show interest. They love to play at parks. I think they get along better when they are at a playground than when they're indoors. :/
Richard made an AWESOME Valentines Breakfast! PInk, heart shaped pancakes with whipped cream and cherries, there were beautiful flowers for me and lovely cards for all of us. A trail of chocolates led to the decked out table full of food, presents, chocolate milk, cards and more chocolate. He made it such a lovely, fun and all around amazing day. He's the man!!!
Enjoy the pictures. Violet really loves the carousel at Chuck E Cheese's. Azure, up until March 2012, enjoyed baby food; now she seems to love big people food more. She loves to chew on things, but sucking on her fingers is her favorite. That's helped her to be such an amazing sleeper. (She was doing about 8 hrs. nights by 8 weeks old or so). We took a bunch of funny pics just before Daddy went to Matt n' Felicia's wedding. Azure started sitting up by herself in February (without using her hands for support). She's growing good. She's my biggest baby and still she's around 16th percentile for weight. I guess I hold onto their weight. Someone tell me not to be stingy!!! Violet is learning more and more words. Her speech seems a little off though so were going to have her evaluated.
