Front Facers

Venice turns 12 months shortly and one of the joys of being 1-years old is getting to sit like a person, front-facing. And Simi is sporting her Gwen-do (thats what I call it). Her bangs do this natural 40's-style-pin-curls-type thing so I jazz it with hair spray and there ya have it, instant Gwen Stephani.

So here is more compare and contrast. This time Father-Daughter. This picture of Robb reminds me of Simi. The "unimpressed look", the blonde curls, the BIG chuncky face!

Happy Easter

Ricks Forever! This coming Spring/Summer marks 10 years since I first entered Ricks College as a Freshmen. So HAPPY 10 YEARS LADIES! Ricks was my favorite part of my whole academic career. (this picture was actually from 1999 which was an especially fun year)

On a less sentimental note: those who were in this picture or attended this "banquet" will remember it was like the Ricks College 235th ward or something...and we got awards at the end of the year based on our personalities. I remember being angry to say the least that I got "Best Airhead" or something like that. I think I burned the certificate. Correct me if I'm wrong: Jessica got: Best Smile. Bonnie got "City Slicker" (LOVE that), Holly got "Best Hair" and Lisa and Melissa I don't remember your awards...please someone fill me in! Am I psycho that I remember the awards from so long ago?

The Primaries have been CRAZY, huh? A very intense election year. Because I hang out at the local park with babies for a large portion of the day, I generally don't get many opportunities to talk politics with people. Except for yesterday. A young girl (no older than 7) said,

"hello"

"Hi" I replied.

"So who did YOU vote for??!" she said, with a bit of sassiness that made me giggle.

"...well, I..." (I didn't expect such a heavy question at the jungle gym. I was speechless.)

my stammering, frustrated the young girl and she blurted--

"Well, I voted for OBAMA!"

The Funky-Fresh Christmas of 1982 This one is for the Coons. For those who are confused, this is Matthew Coons and Robb, doubling up on Santa. My favorite part is Santa pointing.

Nudist Colony...? simi's newest favorite thing to do is take off all her clothes when friends come over to play. ummmm. Not sure what else to say about that. Never a dull moment with Simi.

Another new fav. is her bed.

Nothing comes easily for a Princess. In the following post are pictures of Venice trying to crawl. It is much easier to have a scream fest, right?
