Kent in the MTC getting ready to become Elder Blacker.

I was in charge of getting Kent sunglasses for his mission. I picked them out especially for him and I think they look awesome.

My little brother right before he gave his farewell. Him and Oliver have a real connection and I'm so proud of my brother for being a good example.

My family and I went to my Uncle Tom's 60th Birthday party and played Rock Band the whole night.

This is Oliver on a bus on the way to Idaho, that's right a bus, not a plane. When we were arriving at the Idaho Falls airport there was too much fog to land so they redirected us to Bozeman Montana. Pleasant place. We arrived at about midnight and I was able to do something that I've always wanted and that was to take stairs off the plane onto the runway. Awesome. But then we found out that they were going to put us up in a hotel for the night and try to fly us in the morning. Okay, that's fine. One night in a hotel and than me and Oliver can hop on the flight and get to Idaho in 30 min and hand him over to my parents and then I can catch up on some sleep. So we get to our hotel room at 2 am, Oliver falls asleep at 3, I wake up at 5 thinking I've missed the bus back to the airport. Arrive at the airport at approximately 6:30 am and am promptly told that IF is still fogged in and we are going to be bussed to IF. That is a four hour bus ride! Well, I made it safe and Ollie was an angel on the bus ride, slept for a part of it and played with his shoe the other part. I'm glad that Northwest Airlines didn't sacrifice safety and redirected us but I wish that the next morning had been handled a little bit better.

Last minute packing for my trip out to Idaho for my brother's mission farewell. It was a heck of a flight.

For mutual we had a "CrAzY dInNeR" We gave all the kids mixed up menus and than they got weird utensils and things to eat out of and had to eat whatever they ordered. I believe that sam is eating his pudding with one of those things you put your spoon on that's on the stove so you don't make a mess.

I bought a new lens. It's a 50 mm f/1.8. It has really great depth of field.

February 9 2009

Today we went to the Farmington Library and it has a great children's room. There was a large open space that I could just let Oliver run around free while I read a book. It was fun to get out.

february 8 2009

this was our YW New Beginnings. It was a "Virtue Deli" and they built a sandwich using all the values in the YW program. It was a good time.

february 7 2009

Oliver usually takes a shower with bryan because we don't have a bathtub. But we decided to stick him in the sink and let him splash around and he had a great time.

february 6 2009

Our neighbors have a little girl that is 2 weeks younger than Oliver and this is the first play date that they had together. Hopefully we can have some more.

February 4 2009

For my birthday my awesome husband got me an iphone! He got one too and we finally switched our numbers to Connecticut numbers. I love that I can get on the internet anytime I want. I use it all the time to find addresses on the fly and phone numbers and places to eat. Amazing.

February 3 2009

Oliver has 2 little teeth. They are on the bottom in the middle. They make it much easier for him to munch his graham cracker.

February 2 2009

This is a board game called Settlers of Catan. I usually make a pan of tannies and we sit down and play a few games. I win some and Bryan wins some but now we have started to play with our neighbors and it really heats up the game.

February 1 2009

These are Ollie's shoes. I just love them, me and Bryan have pairs just like them. I just love baby shoes.

January 31 2009

On saturday we went to the Hartford Children's Museum. It was so much fun and they have a lot of good exhibits. I really enjoyed the dinosaurs, turtles, and the bubble around yourself. I was really good at it. I got a bubble around me, Madison, and Riley all together.

January 30 2009

After a whole week with the Sieber kids we found that we really enjoyed playing LIFE. It's been a long time since I've played and it was never my favorite game but I found the new version to be awesome!! I never won but I think I had a good strategy and got dealt some crappy cards both times we played. If it weren't for that than I would have won! I think me and Bryan might buy the game.

January 29 2009

After the snow day we all had cabin fever and had to get out of the house, so we went to Limited too and tried on clothes. Lots of them, just for the fun of it.

January 28 2009

It was a snow day for the kids so we all stayed inside in our warm pajamas and watched movies, except Bryan who had to go snowblow the driveway.

January 26 2009

For the Chinese New Year we ate chinese food, made decorations, and made wishes for the new year. Than to finish off the night we watched Mulan. It was a fun night.

January 25 2009

We found a bouncer for Ollie and he only sits in it if I turn on Footloose and let him dance. He's so cute in it and has such a great time.

January 24 2009

I'm the basketball coach of our Ward's YW Team. We won both games. The girls are getting better and we are really starting to work as a team.

January 23 2009

This isn't a very good picture but it's a photo that means something to me. This is Truman, he's a friends dog and he was very tolerant of Ollie. Oliver was very curious and just wanted to follow Truman around.

January 22 2009

Every Thursday I work at the Canton Historical Museum. This is the backside of the very interesting building.

January 21 2009

For Mutual we learned how to crochet. This is my project, it is about 2 feet of chain. I couldn't get how to add on to my chain to make a block. . . Maybe next time.

Ballet - Preview

I know it may seem that I have dropped off the face off the earth and some may argue that going to Idaho is leaving the civilized world but I'm still here and still alive. I'll be back in town to update everything but here is a photo.

Busy

Hey all,
I know that it's been a while since I did my photo of the day. It's been a crazy couple of weeks. I promise that on Monday I will update the last couple of weeks and stick up all the photos of the day. So check back in then.
