January

I officially deem this, the longest month of the year! I don't know if it's because of all the anticipation leading up to the end of December and then ringing in the New Year, but after that... this month lasts FOREVER!!

Marion Learns to Ride a Bike

Marion learned, in just 2 days, how to ride a bike without training wheels. She had one good fall on the 3rd day. She was going too fast around a corner, but she has learned very quickly when to slow down, how to lean and turn, and how to start on her own.

Temple Square

On our way back to Indonesia, after a marvelous and spledid summer in Idaho, we had a 7 hour layover in SLC. When we arrived in the airport we saw large signs advertising tours of temple square in just 2 hours. So we went for it. It was a really wonderful opportunity to take our kids there. Dallin was the only one who had ever been there with us before but he was only a year old at the time. The kids really loved it! The only thing we didn't get to see in our short time was the conference center. Maybe for our next layover!

Marion Throws a fit

I was watching the girls playing Barbie's together at which point Marion got really frustrated because she couldn't get a shirt or something on one of her Barbie's. She threw the Barbie at the couch at which point I started recording this video. I thought her temper tantrum was hilarious but what followed the tantrum turned out to be even more funny.
