Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do...
Kaitlyn LOVES to sing. She pretty much is singing all day long. Her favorite song right now is "Doe, A Deer A Female Deer" from the Sound of Music.
Yard Work
Steve worked really hard to get our main flower bed looking good again. We ended up taking out all the aspen trees, which we loved, but they were sending up more starters than we could handle. We were really sad that one of our pine trees died, but we had to take that out too. Then we tilled everything else under. I knew it was a bad sign when while we were undertaking this project several neighbors mentioned how pretty our large rocks were and asked when/where we got them. I guess with all the vine ground cover, weeds, grass, and aspen starters, the rocks we had had there since we moved in were hidden!
I think it turned out really nice, though. We made it more mounded, planted a choke cherry tree, riverside pine, and an amur flame maple tree, along with a fake river bed and some stepping stones. We are also going to get a big flat rock to make a little bridge. Hopefully it will be less maintenance and we can keep it looking the way it does now!

Michael Turns 1!!!
I can't believe Michael is a year old! This year went by SO fast. He actually took his first step just two nights ago! He's not really walking yet, but he likes to try if someone is standing in front of him. He is a little climber, and loves to go up the stairs as fast he can. He is such a pleasant and good-natured little guy.
My parents, Natalie, and Jon came over for a little birthday party for Michael. We had dinner and ate way too much pasta, then Michael opened his presents (with a lot of help from Kaitlyn). My mom gave Michael a Thomas the Train, and he didn't want anything to do with the other presents after that!
We made a frog cake and Michael was a lot of fun to watch eat his cake. He poked at it for quite a while, then started licking the frosting, then finally started picking it up in the handfuls. After a while he had frosting in his nose, on his hair, and just everywhere!
Michael's 1st Birthday Cake!
We had a lot of fun watching Michael eat his birthday cake. It took him a while to figure out what was going on, but he ended up being pretty entertaining and messy!
New Salt Lake Temple Background on Family Tree Poster
I don't mean to beat a dead horse if you've already heard about this, but I'm offering a really low price on my family history posters right now. I'm just trying to advertise by word of mouth (or blog). Here is an example of a new family tree poster I just finished. I think the picture of the Salt Lake Temple is pretty cool! Click on the little picture of the poster on the left side of my blog for more info or just go to http://familytreeposters.blogspot.com/
