Making the World a Lovelier Place...
... one piece of chalk at a time.
Meghan got a hold of chalk on the way out of Grandma's house. Since it was dark, we didn't spot it until we let her out of the car. Here's the evidence shot taken the next day.

Memory
Here are the girls playing Memory with their Daddy. It wasn't a very long game since Daddy only has to see a match once. We gave Adelaide her own cards to play with. She had fun and then tried the Throw-It-On-The-Floor-Mom-Fetches game for a bit and liked it much better.

Wagon Ride
Sorry it's not flash video. I guess I'm not part of the 21st century yet.
Watch Meghan and Adelaide Play in their wagon!

Playing Outside With Daddy
We went outside for a good romp in the grass before dinner.
Wrestle match!
The instant Adelaide was set down she would bolt straight for the road. Daddy would run after her and then field her like a football player blocking the goalpost.
On Daddy's shoulders anyone can be the tallest!
It's a good thing we keep the front door locked. Here he is blocking her again.

Thank heavens large eyes are genetic. Look how gorgeous they are.
Here is Daddy playing Daddy type games. Mom just laughs.
I LOVE Meghan's face in this picture.
And I love Kyle's face in this one. Kyle thinks he looks drugged in this picture. I think he looks way handsome and in need of a kiss. I guess you can't agree on everything.
The Old Carseat
Here is Adelaide and Meghan playing with their old car seat.
Adelaide was quickly distracted by Mom's shoe.Getting Pretty
Here are the girls ready for church.
Can you see one getting into trouble?
They thought it was funny to stick their tongues out. It is pretty hard synchronizing babies. Fortunately, the toddler is somewhat compliant.

A Chair Full of Crazies
Here I am with all of Grandma's puppies in my lap. The two on the right are the official "crazies" Kimi and Suki. On the left is fat Einstein Pug and Lily Chihuahua. In the middle is my crazy, Adelaide. Plus Meghan peeking out from behind. We are all watching Grandma vacuum. I guess the puppies like to be safe so they don't get sucked up.Monday, August 24, 2009
Happy Birthday, Adelaide!
Addy's First Birthday! YAAAAY!
Adelaide's birthday was today. She was happily oblivious. All she noticed was mmm! cake! and oooh! toy!
She really tore into that cupcake, though. The boys complained about the sprinkles. Who complains about sprinkles? That's just wrong. Meghan enjoyed the sprinkles. And the frosting off of all six cupcakes that she could reach on the counter.
After a quick post-cupcake bath, we got out Addy's present. She had fun taking off the wrapping paper and handing it to Hyrum. But once she saw the toy, she was frantic to get it out.
Her very own remote control for the television! And I won't even have to take the batteries out for her to play with it.

Guitar, Old School
I got a new guitar. It's a classical guitar and I'm working on learning some classical pieces. I'm not really good yet, but I am showing progress.
The whole story: at the end of July I wanted to get a music book to get better at reading standard music notation and grounding in some fundamentals. I went into a guitar store and got a copy of "The Complete Carcassi Guitar Method." I looked through it and it seemed to be a pretty good grounding.
I started working through it with my archtop, but I started realizing I'd really like a classical guitar to match my book on classical guitar music, and for playing unplugged.
In looking around, it seemed like the Yamaha CG111C was the best deal on a solid topped classical guitar. So Tanya and I figured out a way to budget it. I picked it up at a local music store (well, relatively local). They were the nearest authorized Yamaha dealer, and they happened to have one in stock when I called. I really liked the way it sounded, and they gave me a good deal on it.
Bonus points for anyone who can tell me what kind of shoes I was wearing when I took the picture.

Dressed in Pretty
Kyle warned me that if I let her wear fashionable dresses and such cool boots she'll end up being clothes conscious like him. I'm not sure that is such a terrible idea.
