Troublemaker

Wesley pretty much spends every minute he is awake crawling and climbing around looking for things to put in his mouth....

....and today he discovered the refrigerator.

Traditions

New Christmas Eve tradition?

Frying crab wontons on the balcony because Tori doesn't want the house to smell like oil.

No Better Sunday

We love to visit downtown Salt Lake City, and this Sunday was a great time to go.
Rachel and Wesley loved seeing the lights at Temple Square and talking about our Savior. Lately, Rachel has asked me to tell her scripture stories particularly the Savior's birth and crucifixion and resurrection. It is really neat to share these moments with her.

The highlight for Rachel from Temple Square was the water.

I love my children!

They are so different from each other, yet I can see their sibling relationship growing. The sibling bond can be strong and a great tool for life. My relationships with each of my siblings is so valuable to me. I hope my children build similar friendships with each other. It is neat to see the personality mixture when they interact. Rachel already protects him, and Wesley adores Rachel's singing and dancing entertainment. I'm sure they will not always be cheery with each other, but that is part of the process. For now, I'll just enjoy their innocent and pure love and imaginations.

What a good Daddy to sit and let Rachel "work her magic."

Not quite like the one on the box:

....but better than last time
