I Heart You

Amara painting her own 'heart' plate at the local pottery store...we're looking forward to seeing how it comes out once it's fired. Maybe we'll add an 'after' picture soon...stay tuned.

A princess party

Amara went to her first (maybe last??) princess party several weeks ago. I forgot about the pictures since I only took them on my phone, but here's a couple pictures of the event...good times :-) One's a little blurry, sorry.

Snowpink

My Paci!

Amara referees a paci battle between Abey and his Mommy. Oliver rides his bike over to Eli's 'TV'. Below, Amara works on putting a pony in Tink's hair. 

Saturdays' morning torture

Amara's learning to swim and dance...she feigns a complete lack of enthusiasm, then enjoys it. Who knows? Today she pitched a fit, cried, wouldn't go into class, then later in the car said 'Mama, I was just tricking you this morning when I didn't want to go." Really? 

Birthday Boys!

Cousins

Where to, Uncle Michael?

Amara and her cousins head to the Discovery Museum. 

Some recent Ama-isms

"Mama, are you happy, mad or fusterated?"

"I don't want to look in the mirror!" (me: "why not?") "Because my hair!" (me: "what about your hair sweetie?) "It's short-sleeved!"

"Mama, where's Laura?" (me: "she had to go home on the airplane") "Well, Mama, next time Laura comes she needs to stay for a long long time"

"Mama, Daddy's mean. (me: "no, he's not sweetie. he's wonderful") "Why did you pick him?"

New Year's in St. George

We went down to St. George, Utah in the southern part of the state with some friends for NewYear's. The weather was great, as was the company, and the pictures here are a combination from Snow Canyon State Park and Zion National Park. Happy New Year!

"Is this Park City? No, Mommy, we're going back to Park City actually to stay with Uncle Eric"

Our friend Eric is in town for a few days and Amara was thrilled! We enjoyed seeing him too :-)
