Catch Up, old stuff, but new here.

Lightning Hat, so tempting, but not purchased.









First B-day party to attend.





Cassi in Dad's shop glasses. Funny smirk makes it perfect!

Alan's getting to be a PRO!!!!!

Some times you just have to try make-up on little girls, especially one this cute!

Its about time

So, quick update. Still in Logan. Alan finishing school, me still working like crazy, Cassi knocking over Snowmen we try to make, and baby girl starting to kick me!!! Check out my friend's site for home-made AMAZING stuff she comes up with at her blog that starts out Mr.andMrs.Rouge on my friend's list, and enter her drawing for a free scarf.

Random Sample, but OH SO CUTE!

Cassi stayed with my little sister as I attended my cousin's wedding at the Salt Lake temple. She sure loves her Aunt Erin and I'm sure she had fun with her. Erin even let her get away with picking pedals off of leaves. Yup, she definitely has more fun with her aunt, mom doesn't let her do that!

Grandma got her at the luncheon. She really helped her share her food (getting some all over Grandma of course). But she really loved sucking on the pea pod.

This is my hope, that my daughters, or at least one of them, will play the piano. I love the sound of music in my home, and it would sure be fun to have someone else playing the piano. I take it back, Alan plays the top hand, and even if he thinks he's not very good, I sure enjoy it!

We sure had a blast playing with Scarlet when she came to visit. Her and Cassi kept track of each other, and believe me, they couldn't go anywhere without the other. They each had to have 2 shakers, one for each hand. Not necessarily because they wanted 2, but because if they had 2 they (Cassi) didn't have a free hand to steal them. Ah, the stuff you learn quickly to keep kids happy. :)

If there is any place Cassi loves to be, its on her dad's shoulders, holding on for dear life as he jumps around and chases cats around the yard. This past week we had a ward movie night at the bishop's house and the cat caught her eye so Alan picked her up, she grabbed his ears/hair, and they took off running while Cassi's mouth was wide open in what appeared to be excitement! (That or dumb-founded)

If you look really closely, you can see the binky floating in the right upper corner of the fish humidifier. Cassi learned how to take the cover off the fishy part and in went her binky. I believe it was at that point she became extra interested in her floating fish. She didn't try to get it out, mom had to rescue it. She has learned the had trap trick though with one of her other toys. She drops her binky in the top and when she sticks her had to grad it in a fist and bring it back up, it gets stuck and she gets confused and starts pouting. Cute thing!

DI buys are some of the greatest things ever! It was there that we happened upon Cassi's Wizzard of Oz shoes! She totally has the ruby slippers and she doesn't really try to take them off anymore, especially when we focus on them and call them pretty! She does really good now walking with or without shoes. Sometimes she scares us with her walking shuffle, especially if she is on the cement or close to stairs. She does great though, and for the first time, we had to go after her in church today. She would have made it to the front of the chapel if I wouldn't have stopped her. Everyone in our ward knows her, so I figured they'd just watch her for us, but wow can she distract everyone! And....at that point I think its about time to go get her.

The New Grads of the Family

Well graduation was May first, and I had two of my most favorite men there to celebrate it with. My dad took the day off just for me and Alan, Cassi, and I all piled in the car and made our way to Ogden. I was super lucky that Alan finished his last final so quickly so that he could come along for the day. I still think the people in the audience are just as bored as the people graduating at graduation, but oh well, the pictures and good times together are fun. Plus Alan and my amazing dad had fun being with Cassi. My dad loves being Grandpa!

New Update

When you leave a child alone in a room for a minute, I guess this is what you get. Cassi found the Peppermint Patty left out for Alan. No wonder she didn't make a peep, she was in chocolate heaven! Luckily it came out of the dress. Also notice, if you will, the alien hair style.

Just in case anyone wanted to know, if you want a peeping-tom your shower, we've got one! Cassi just can't leave the shower curtain alone when she hears water running and isn't the one getting in. I guess its better than her flushing the toilet over and over and over again. What is this fascination with toilets? We already can't have the toilet paper on the roll because she rips if off and eats it. Nasty!
