Crawling Crying Dolls

Last Saturday I was with friends at walmart playing in the toy area (as we often do) and we found these. They are the weirdest things I have ever seen.

Frightening, huh!?

Ice Skating

We went ice skating for Melissa's birthday. Long story short, I don't ice skate much. We've done it several times for church activities... I usually fall, but this time I learned it is much more fun to watch everyone else fall from the side!

Taggart adores his older cousins:

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, Melissa! Melissa is my sister who is closest to me in age. Nikki got married when I was young, and Chris was soon on his mission, so for many years it was Melissa and I at home. We did a lot together and I always looked forward to spending time with my sister.

I remember feeling upset and depressed when she married to Jon and moved out. "That's my sister! He can't have her!" I didn't want her to leave me home with mom and dad. I was a jerk, and it took me a while to accept Jon into the family. No worries, though! I get along with Jon great, now!

Since her last Birthday, Melissa has become a mother, and a great one at that. Melissa is also becoming very domesticated, she can bake me just about anything I desire. In november I took some pictures for her to use on her Christmas cards, and she had a batch of home-made oreos, my favorite, waiting for me!

The thing I love most about my sisters, is when they need help with their technology. Not a week goes by that one of them doesn't need help with the computers, or cars, or cellphones, or iPods, and it makes me chuckle every time!

I shot this picture of Melissa and Tag at Nikki's house a few weeks ago:

Happy Birthday, Melissa!

Randoms: January 13th

You know me, got to love the random! I wouldn't say I'm obsessed with my new camera, but, I'm pretty much obsessed with my new camera. It's started following me many places, including, as you see in the last shot, to a game of Domino's played with Melissa and Jon one Sunday night. Here are, more, random photos:

Me

Amanda shot pictures of me last week. She recently had her friend Dustin take her pictures, and she told me how nervous she got that day of. I thought it was funny I didn't think I would be nervous at all, but that day I started getting really worried. After we were done shooting, I was almost sure I would look dumb in the pictures (I think that's just the self-consciousness we all get.) However, when Amanda showed the pictures to me, I was amazed we were at the same shoot! I can't believe she actually made me look good. Thanks Amanda! These are my favorites:

This is my favorite:

Ivy

Recently Ivy has been ugging out words like "Mom," "Dad," "Isaac," and "Doggy." Yesterday she reached her arms out to me and ugged "bah," which I will interpret as "Uncle Brock."

My favorite thing about Ivy is how happy she gets when she wakes from her nap. She always hugs onto you for the longest time, and jabbers random phrases through her Binky mouth.

Random Photos: January 3rd

These are random pictures I've shot over the last few days.

This last one is inside my house somewhere, but where?
