Shaun the Sheep

So Caylin and I have found a new favorite show, if you could really call it that, because the clips are only 5 minutes long on TV. Anyway, we have found "Shaun the Sheep" on Disney Channel. We are big fans of Wallace and Gromit, and this is so cute, and so hilarious. Caylin goes nuts whenever it comes on, and I have even set the DVR to record them. Check out the clip on the right and you will see what I mean!

The Day of Reasoning and President Monson

So, for those of you who really know Caylin know what a little stinker she is when she comes to eating. It is like pulling teeth to get her to eat anything most of the time. She still won't even touch bread, and no, not even the sacrament! Her meal choices at this time consist of waffles, oatmeal, cereal, corn and chicken nuggets. Most of the time she opts for cereal, but every once in a while she has been known to throw us for a loop and actually eat something different. Well, for a while now I have basically given up on trying to get her to eat a variety of foods and just say that at some point she'll understand enough to let me reason with her. I am happy to say that I believe that day is in the near future! Today at lunch I got her a Happy Meal, and usually if she sees the french fries she won't even consider eating anything else. I told her today that if she ate some of her chicken she could have some french fries. She didn't even put up a fight and ate the whole thing! I was shocked! She got a few french fries and I tried it again. It worked! I cannot even tell you how surprised and happy that made me! Hopefully now we can coax her into trying something new every once in a while, and maybe she might even be willing to touch the bread, although eating it may be something entirely different!

On a completely different note, I had the Presidential Inauguration on the other day as we were playing in the living room. After a while Caylin went in her room and began playing. She grabbed something and said, "I go see Monson." I asked her what she said, and she said again, "I go see President Monson!" and then proceeded to go out in front of the TV and play again. Wrong President, but I just had to laugh!

All Tuckered Out

This is how I found Caylin the other day when I went in to check on her during her nap. It doesn't look too comfortable to me, but whatever works, I guess!

St. George

Okay, so I realize this post is really far behind, but my camera has been a little stinker and wouldn't let me get any photos from it. So that's my excuse.

We drove down to St. George on New Year's Eve to spend time with Colby's family. It was such a fun trip, although I was freezing the entire time, but at least there wasn't any snow! The girls got in lots of shopping and the guys even got in a round of golf. Caylin just loved having kids around all the time to play with.

New Year's Eve - love the half evil eye?
partners in crime - Caylin and Haley

we went swimming, and when I put her swimsuit on, she danced around on the bed saying "Halloween costume!!!" - I guess it's been a while since she's been in the pool!

she loved cousin Josh's bike and rode around forever - too bad we really don't have anywhere to store one for her right now

all ready to go, although I don't know where

what would a Utes victory be without a victory dance?
(Creed, Colby, Tyler, John, Brett)

it just kept going and going, but then again, can you blame them?!

Go Utes!
