Jan 1 - 8

Sunday, January 1 - Happy New Year! We finally got around to celebrating Grandpa Jim's birthday today...only a couple of weeks late. :) We love our Grandpa Jim!!

Monday, January 2 - While this isn't actually my own picture, this is how the streets looked driving home from bowling. I was terrified and my poor off-track children got to hear how scared I was. We almost didn't make it up a hill in Sandy. In fact, police were out helping push people up the hill! We did make it there and all the way home. It was a huge relief when we pulled into our driveway! Have I ever mentioned that I hate snow?

Tuesday, January 3 - Before, middle, and after. Kendra got her first round of braces on today which includes an expander on the top. She was so excited to get braces...I'm afraid she's in for an unpleasant and painful surprise!

Wednesday, January 4 - Happiest of birthdays to my daddy! He's been sick but thankfully feeling better today on his birthday!

Thursday, January 5 - Kendra and Ricki had well child visits today. Ricki was 60th percentile for height and 63rd percentile for weight. Kendra, who is finally back on the chart, was about 40th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height. These are some healthy and happy girls!

Friday, January 6 - Now that Ricki is out of her highchair, we needed four bar stools rather than three...I got tired of all the arguing over who has to sit at the table. Simon has been watching KSL for months with no avail - until today! He found these beauties in Provo so I ran out and got them. They are perfect for what we need!

Saturday, January 7 - As per our annual tradition, daddy took us all to dinner. Unfortunately, our regular place, Golden Corral, shut down so we went to Chinese Gourmet instead. It was so yummy! I love this picture of grandpa and his grandkiddos. 

Sunday, January 8 - Dad's birthday week continues! We had his birthday dinner tonight at their house. It was fun to be together and celebrate dad!
