watch out!

Liv is on the move! She is "army" crawling and tries to follow her brothers around. She is getting her second tooth (and a runny nose to go with) and seems to be taking a special interest in balls lately (her favorite toy?).

Here is a video clip I took on the day she really started "moving." Life just got a little crazier for me now that she is mobile. Also, am I mistaken, or did I happen to catch one of her first words on tape too?:




Things feel super busy right now. Rob and I were asked to be directors of a play that the youth are doing for our stake youth conference that is in two weeks. I feel like I am spending most of my time making preparations for this (music, script, choreography, set, costumes...), and losing sleep over it too. Things are coming together pretty well, but I'll be glad when it's over. I keep waiting for things to slow down in general, but I'm realizing that life is probably just going to get busier and busier from now on.

We've had a stressful week house-wise. I won't bore you with all the details, but I feel like we are spending money left and right on really annoying things. The two biggest stressers are that our spa/pool is losing water (possible leak in one of the pipes going to our pool?!?) and we discovered that one of our huge shade trees was damaged in the storm we had in January (the roots are half out of the ground). We had an expert come out to see if they could save the tree and they said no. They also quoted us $1100 to remove it and to stabilize one of the large trees in our front yard. Seriously? Rob will be recruiting some friends with chainsaws to remove the one in our backyard. We need to do it before the next storm or it will most likely fall on our house or break through our fence. The list goes on and on with other things like this, but I don't want to sound like I am complaining so I'll stop...

Hewitt and Tosh decided that it was warm enough this week to put their feet in our pool. For the record, I think that the pool is still "freezing." It all started with just the feet and ended up in some skinny dipping (on Tosh's part).


He'll forgive me for this photos when he's older right? Besides, he'll take comfort in the fact that it's only our closest family and friends that read this blog anyway :-). Rob said that this last shot reminds him of Big Foot walking (or something like that anyway).

Well, there's probably more to say that I'm forgetting, but I need to get back to it. Adios!

I'm still laughing at the picture of Tosh. I guess it wasn't too cold. Sounds like life is busy. I haven't talked to you in too long so I need to call you. Things are a little crazy around here to so I'll try to get a chance soon.

So cute, Tams! Great pictures, and I think Liv most certainly said 'book'. I'll give it to her.

I think she said it, too. And "book" was also Newton's first word, so she's in good company! Totally adorable shot of nakie Tosh.
