January

January is our "Lets just try to get through it month".
The month that was filled with lots of sickness, wrestling, learning how to ski, parenting solo
while T-man is living in Utah during the weeks, getting back into good eating habits and routines that December seems to wipe away.  No wonder January is not my favorite month of the year.
Thats okay because when I go through my photos it makes me realize how lucky I am to have these Jokers in my life. Wouldn't trade my daily grind for anything.

We are trying to find a place to live in Utah and getting ready to put our home on the market here in Sammamish.  This limbo stage helps me to appreciate being settled all the more.

A few January pics...

Elder Pulini...our Tongan missionary has been such an awesome example.
Tate loves the guy and is trying to figure out how to get him married to one of his cousins.
He told us that they eat dogs where he is from so Emmy always keeps a close eye on Bella
when he comes to visit.

Trents co-worker/friend from India had us over for an Indian Feast.
Honestly, I ate so much food I still have not recovered.
It was awesome and an experience I will not forget. Finley got nabbed by
the Grandma Indian and we were off the hook for parenting. SWEET.
Loved how Finley stared at her the whole day.


I felt like the Jolly Green Giant.



Bells turned ONE January 19th!

Emmy is really growing up. She was bound and determined to get this 
little doll to suck its thumb. Loving my mornings with this lady home.

Campbell and Emmy up to no good at the bathroom sink.
Partners in crime for sure.


Emmy has been helping clean out closets...she
is in charge of keeping it fun.

High FIVE.
It's the little things in January that make you happy.
 My people and me are learning how to ski this season.
Way harder than it looks. I had no idea.
We just head up to the Snoqualmie Pass for Saturday lessons.
The big bummer is that we did not know we would be moving when we signed up
AND
that their would be NO SNOW.
 So far most of our lessons have been cancelled.
Give us a couple of years and we will be rocking the slopes...well maybe.





THE LIFE OF FIN...
Finley is way into putting underwear on her head.
TA-DA! She found her nose hole for the first time.
Proud parent moment.



Baby #4 gets to eat on the table top I guess....



Our Seahawk fans! Prepping for the Super Bowl was a big
deal around here. The energy in the community was totally contagious.


Best EVER. (Tate)
Tate reading his scriptures before dozing off.
He makes me happy.
