Spoiled little girl is used to having me around all of the time. What will she do when I have to leave and go to work?

She can't wait until it is warm enough to play outside everyday!

Throwback pic today. Four years ago we took Rex to meet his new cousin Stockton. They were really good buddies and loved playing together.

The weather was absolutely beautiful today! I took Anna on a walk. I think the sun was too bright to look up.

We tried a new brownie recipe for dessert. Well, we doubled a new brownie recipe and they didn't exactly turn out. Anna didn't seem to mind though!

Anna has been super cuddly lately. Steph decided to take advantage of it for a few.

Anna had a very lazy day. I woke her up at 11:45 and Steph had to wake her up from a nap. She had a little extra personality tonight with all that sleep!

I love the "just got out of bed" look that Anna has. She had a little extra pep in her step this morning.

I had to have this one explained to me. Anna climbed up on a chair but got stuck between the chair and the table. It took Steph a minute to figure out where she was once she started squealing.

We spent this week watching Stephanie's cousin's kids. There was a lot of Wii going on. Sorry for breaking all of your records (Ty, Brian, and Justin)!

I can't leave the chair pulled out any more. Anna has started to climb all over everything, she is particularly drawn towards electronic devices.

Anna was so much fun tonight. We managed to work a 3rd animal sound into rotation. We took her for a cookie and this was taken after she was changed into her pajamas. Doesn't she look like she's ready for bed? So much energy, love this little girl!

My heart has been heavy all day as the sweet boy pictured here passed away from a DIPG. Oliver Palmer battled for 26 months. While I never met Ollie, I have been touched by him and his incredible family. No parent should have to endure what Ed and Stacy have. Fly high buddy!

Anna loves when I get out my exercise mat. I felt bad as she was rolling around in my sweat, but it makes me smile when she snuggles up to me no matter the circumstances.

Steph's parents had their annual Valentine's Day dinner tonight. It is crazy to think that this was like our 2nd or 3rd "date" 13 years ago. The funny thing is that no matter how much stuff has changed in that time, there is so much that has stayed the same!

Throwback Tuesday (or maybe just so busy I forgot to bust out the camera today). Rex says, "Good Morning!" I love that Dinosaur Train is on the TV in the background. I watched this for a bit with Anna today. How awesome would it be to have her big brother here to teach her?

February 6, 2012

We had dinner with some friends tonight. Anna loved the little arm chair that was just her size. Here she is with her buddy Owen.

Anna got to play with her cousin Olivia today. I took a candid snap shot of the two of them. Anna's hair was a bit crazy, but it makes me smile.

This is Anna trying a salt & vinegar chip for the first time. I'll be honest, I expected a complete different reaction. Turns out she has her mother's tastebuds.

Another day of pig tails in the hair. I'll be honest, it was a traumatic experience to get there. So glad I have a shaved head and don't have to worry about that business.

After spending the night in Salt Lake we picked up Anna from church. I decided to let her drive with me for a quick second. Not the safest thing I've ever done, but she loved it!

Today Steph and I celebrated our 8th anniversary. We thought it would be appropriate to visit the place it all started. I think this picture of the Salt Lake Temple turned out incredible!

Things have been crazy busy, so you get yet another throwback picture! This one is from 4 years ago. My little man in his sweet puffy vest and my beautiful wife with hair as short as I ever remember it. Life seemed simpler then, will it ever feel like that again?
