So this is a little late but a week ago my mom and popcame up and spent a day with us. It was awfully pleasant. My dad and I made granola which was quite tasty. Here is the photographic evidence.


Yah I still don't have a permanent tooth but at least I know when it's going to fall out.

This next photo just shows how well Lauren feeds me. I'm eating an open faced buffalo burger on High 5 fiber bread with feta and garlic beans. Quite tasty. The hot sauce is Sriracha. It's an Asian hot sauce. Super good. I'm usually a sucker for anything with tomatillos or serrano chiles or both. I don't know what Sriracha has in it but it tastes great and the spiciness is perfect.


Did I mention I'm totally addicted to kart racing. Not really, I go once every month or two. But I sure have fun when I do go. I got the 7th fastest lap-time in October. I taped my FLIPvideo to my helmet and this is what we got. My bro-in-law jon is right in front and then Gordo is in the very front. enjoy.

Hello to the blogging world. We made it through the holidays just fine and this week is the end of the "week" off that I had. We didn't travel anywhere or do anything spectacular, but that is what made it so spectacular. We got a ton of things done that have been on our list below the high priorities like eat, work, sleep, bathe, etc.. We are a very happy family. Liam is becoming more coordinated. I taught him how to climb up onto a chair without any help and he got it first try! I think he's got a pretty good strength to weight ratio. He also has a lot of new words. He knows some signs, he's watched the first two signing times over 50 times each. I'm serious! I could sing and sign those puppies all the way through if I had to. We have a little DVD player in our car and he watches movies while we drive. Because he knows signs he won't say the word and he'll point or do a sign. But, the other morning, he was sleeping with us, he woke me up and pretended to still sleep. You see, as soon as I'm awake I'm fair game to entertain him. So as I lay there in bed he whispered, "Eyes. Nose. Mouth." Touching each feature gently with his finger. Mouth wasn't pronounced correctly, but I knew what he was saying.

Lauren is the hardest worker in the family. She works three shifts at the Harv, takes care of Liam, does all the books for the business, and manages to keep me happy as well. She just colored her hair so just when I thought Laur couldn't get any better looking she surprised me. Unfortunately, we won't be graced with a photo of her. I do have some of Liam though! This first one is when we went night skiing a couple of nights ago with Lauren, Mary, and Eric Jensen. For all you Loganites Mary was a Grewe. It was really fun and I got a few WOOOOOs out of Liam. He was in a backpack on my back.



This shows the cute gap in Liam's teeth.



We don't have huge Mountains in Boise but sometimes the sunrises and sunsets are really pretty.
