Jan 11-17

Monday, January 11 -  Ricki had her 18-month well check with Dr. Jackson. She is doing great but he put her on an antibiotic because of her nasty fingernail. At the Jazz game, if the other team missed their free-throws, each ticket was worth a free chicken sandwich at Chick-Fil-A. Doug and Liz gave us theirs so we met Simon for lunch again at Chick-Fil-A in Jordan Landing. Tonight, Grandma Sharon came over for family night. She had dinner with us then taught us a wonderful lesson about the sacrament and how we should act in church. The kids were so attentive and cute. It was a lot of fun!

Tuesday, January 12 - This is Dave, Viv, and Simon booking a cruise for April! I like to have vacations to look forward to. We haven't been on a cruise since Nick was a baby.

Wednesday, January 13 - I have been worrying a bunch about our upcoming family pictures and what we're all going to wear. This is what I came up with. Our colors are black, white, gray, and red. I hope this all corresponds okay.

Thursday, January 14 - I took this picture to show Ricki's silly hair. It grows from the back of her head forward. I wish I could sometimes leave her hair down but I can't. She would eat her hair all day if I did!

Friday, January 15 - Look at Gary & Alexis' cute little baby girl! Look at that button nose!! I can't wait to meet her in June! Ever since Ricki has been on antibiotics, her nail has thinned out and started flaking off. I was really worried that she would rip it off and sure enough, she came to me crying with a bloody finger. Poor thing!

Saturday, January 16 - Family picture day has finally arrived! We went to the studio at 9:30 am and took the pictures over the next hour or so. Our photographer was super nice. I like how our pictures ended up turning out!

Sunday, January 17 - Kendra had her baptism preview, Great to be 8, so we stayed home for dinner tonight. I have been promising Nick fondue for days now so we finally had that. I have been wanting to find a recipe for Brazilian cheese rolls and I finally found one in a cookbook I have. I didn't have super high expectations, because I love them so much, but they were amazing!! I see lots of cheese rolls happening in our future. And P.S. When did Kendra get old enough to be having her baptism preview tonight!?!?! I can't believe she's getting that old!!
