Lily and Norah sing

The Videos; Emma is going to kil me

Hilarious, aren't they? Hope you enjoyed them so it will be worth being killed.

For Your Entertainment

Oh the videos won't load, but Emma stared at Professor Mashoochi or as in her words "the wacky professor" in her class play "The Hoboken Chicken Emergency." She was great! At least the picture loaded. I'll try the videos next time.

Happy Halloween

full circle

I think one of my favorite first reactions to Ethan so far has been from Lily. She was beside herself, saying with gusto "He's so cuuuuuuute!" and "I love that baby!", while going back and forth to touch his feet (the only part of his body we would let her touch).

This picture was taken at that moment.

Which gave me a striking reminder to this moment....

We sure loved that little red-headed baby girl and still do!

Minnie and Moe

The Story is not forgotten.

Cousins at the Gateway

A classic from the Udall Family Vault

Mother's Day 2005

The best part is not captured on camera. It's when the ball Spencer (who was 3) throws nails Grandma Cathy in the forehead.

In Honor of Pioneer Day

Happy Pioneer Day.

Since I am aparently the only one bored this summer....

Well summer is here and these pictures are proof. Although I will miss school, it is going to be a very fun summer. I can't wait to get started!

Space and Splash Mountain photos

Jim giving the Scouts CPR training

This is Michael. Jim was kind enough to come down and give us CPR training. You can see that he had the boys' rapt attention.

Some more fun pictures!

Fun times from the last few months

So I thought we could use an updated post. Here is a sampling of some great family gatherings!

For Archival Purposes

Everyone is Busy!!! And So am I!!!

But I don't blame you. I am too, but not as much as you. Why am I busy, you ask? That is simple. The reason I am busy is because I am in the play "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"!!!!! I am a Fisherman Narrator. Which is fun, because not only am I in the play, I get to watch the entire play because I am just sitting on the side almost the entire time!!! Which I think is AWSOME!!!! It has kept me busy, with play rehearsals and memorizing lines, and now, working on my costume and sets. The play is in three weeks, which you may think is along time, but in show biz, that is how you would think a hour. (Can you tell that I in a play? I mean all the theater terms?) We have blocked the entire play twice and pretty soon we will have longer rehearsals and soon the dress rehearsals. There will be 4 evening performances the week of the 23. Don't you dare wish me "good luck". Only "Break a leg"s will be allowed!!!

more tight spaces

I have been meaning to post these on the blog for a few weeks, so thanks to the Bowens for a visual reminder. I am glad to know that Norah is one of us. It definitely runs in the family. And apparently Christmas time is a great time to find tight spaces.
