My cute nephew is turning 8 next month. I had offered to my sister to take photos of him for baptism announcements if she was interested several months back. She decided to take me up on it. We had a good time together at the Jordan River Temple. He is pretty excited...poor kiddo it was SO cold out there that day, but it was the only time because of work schedules that his mom could come with him.

S had to get in on the action :)
We hit up story time. I have completely mixed feelings. S loves kids so much, but sometimes that love isn't returned. She kept scooting next to this little girl, and that little girl ended up pushing her away which really hurt S's feelings and ended in tears, so we left the story time area and went to look at books. Once she calmed down we rejoined them.
She loves to be a helper, especially in the kitchen. She used a butter knife and helped me slice peppers up for dinner one evening. She is really good to stand there, stir pots, and just be involved how ever she can. It is something we have really begun enjoying. She's a bit more independent and it works well working together :)

Brett found a box from his early college days. They held these beauties! S was in heaven! She loves glasses, and the fact that she gets to wear dad's is pretty big stuff!
These are likely one of the best gifts we purchased for Christmas. Mom for the win. If I can find a good deal on them again it is definitely something we will add to. She will sit and play for a good amount of time making new things with these fun magformers.
What is it with 3 year old never holding still?! I was working as hard as I could to clear out a room for her to move into. We had a friend staying with us a few years back, and were trying to put everything in a new spot so we could move her in here...but first we have to paint. She was SO cute. She worked so hard to make this tower for me. Needless to say I didn't get much done with her "help", but we did have fun together.
When the builder built our house he painted the walls and ceilings tan. It's all fine and good until you want to change the wall color. So far we have painted ceilings in 5 rooms. They are the worst! If we never paint another ceiling again it will be too soon!
For breakfast Sunday morning Brett made pancakes...with fun toppings. S loves whipped cream. We figured what the heck?! Why not?! Sometimes breakfast can be like starting your day with dessert :)
Continuing with our attempt at weekly family pictures. S thought it would be a good idea to wave at the camera. We just had it on a timer. Thankfully we got some with her hand not in front of her face :)
