Can't wait to start piano lessons!

Conni made plans for her next Daddy date:

"Me and Daddy play video games"

The pics above are her and dad playing games

The day of her first piano lesson

I love this kid!

My Two Favorite People

Need I say more?

Dave and Conni on her school's 5K Walk/Run 

I love the relationship these two people have.  I am so extremely blessed to have them in my life. 

My Bug and Me

There are a couple articles circulating the web about the importance of having your picture taken whether you like how you look/your size or not.  I've been trying to remember the things I learned from the article when we are together. 

So with that in mind, here are some fun shots of me and my bug that Dave took! 

Modeling one of the hats that kept me so busy crocheting in December

Turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself!

Conni's favorite place to lay

My mom and me.  I would be lost without her.

Notice a theme? 

Family Outings

We have been able to go do more "outings" as a family this year.  We've had lots of fun!  We've also just had fun at home together.

Ogden Temple Open House

We went to the circus in September

Conni's favorite was the acrobats

Dave and I loved the elephants and the big cats

We went to Disney on Ice for our first time

Success!

Conni planned with our family friend to get this hat for Dave for Christmas.

She didn't have any help from me and she was so excited to give it to him.

Look how big this is! No way it will fit in our mouths!

New Year's Eve at 12:01 - we made it!

Then we all went to bed

My super sweet girl

Conni has a mild habit of sleepwalking some nights. 

This was one she came downstairs and didn't say anything but crawled into my lap.

I didn't mind :)
