McKay talking

Here is a video of McKay jabbering. Sorry it is kind of dark.

Single Parenting

This week I got asked, "Are you single parenting?" How did I respond? "No, thank goodness!" I bought some furniture on Saturday, and this is what the furniture store owner asked me. I had been in twice during the week to discuss prices and quality with him. Then I came in to make the final purchase, and he must have thought I was single parent. (After all, what woman comes to a furniture store three times in one week with a baby, a stroller, and a diaper bag? And, what husband would just let his wife buy furniture for herself???)

Well, his question came at an ironic time because lately I have been feeling like a single parent. In fact, I almost laughed when he asked me, and I wanted to say, "no, but pretty close." With Kimball working nights and days, weekends, etc, it sometimes feels like I am a single parent. BUT, I am SO glad I am not a single parent. Kimball is a great dad and husband. Here's some pictures to prove it.

Rain

I love the rain. McKay is napping. I am cuddled up on the couch with a blanket and a book. And it's pouring outside. This is why I like spring--not because of the snow or the unceasing wind that Cedar City has had recently, but because of the rain showers. Maybe some may flowers will pop up in our yard soon.

Hadley

My new niece: Hadley. Hadley has been living just about 1/2 mile away from us the past couple weeks. It has been such a treat to see her almost every day so that her mommy and daddy can come use our internet! They don't know yet if they'll be staying here in Cedar for the summer, or if they are moving to California for a job. They should find out next week.

In the meantime, we get to play with this cute little thing

Christmas Stockings

I know it is an odd time of year to be thinking about this, but since I saw SNOW FLURRIES (not joking) in Cedar City this morning, I guess it might be appropriate.

I need to acquire stockings for McKay and Kimball. Where should I get them? Or should I make them? (note: this may be too ambitious for me.) Do you have any suggestions of websites or places that may be good to look?

Just some pictures

Kimball and I like to play "what is McKay thinking?" This is where we try to put captions along with some of the pictures we take. So here are some that we came up with:

"I just can't get enough of this tractor book."

"Would you quit vacuuming while I am trying to play? It is SO loud!"

"Why are you making those weird noises at me?"

"A lady at church called me cute. I think she is right."

"What's your next trick?"

"It's really not that funny, mom."

"I can't wait for that bottle to get in my mouth!!!"

"Do you like my profile shot?"
