Favorite Chompz.

Gyoza
Recipe by Lillian Wilkins...

It was probably the first dinner I ever attempted that 1) Tasted good, 2) Had us going back for second and third helpings, 3) has become one of our favorite things to have for dinner.
Coming soon, a video on how to make sushi by yours truly..

Yuuuummmmm

The Opener of Gifts.

Here's a video from early on Calvin's birthday. First thing, he woke up to some gifts from his grandparents and from us. He is definitely a fan of anything related to cars. Actually, anything with wheels on it will work.

Birthday Boy!

Okay, so this happened like a month ago...

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY CALVIN!

We invited all of our family over for a day at the pool.
These pictures were all taken by David, by the way.
He's pretty good with a camera..

Calvin (as many of you already know) has a pretty intense love for all things Sesame Street. As he started watching more of it, we noticed that he would start pointing out numbers & letters to us. He can now count all the way to 12 and can tell you any letter of the alphabet.

Thanks, Sesame Street. :)

Belated Blog Posts Galore!!

Alright, since the past few weeks have been a little busier than usual, blogging has been taking the back burner..
I've got tons of pictures to share so watch out...
Here they come!

Puddle Jumper

Calvin got this cool raincoat from his Cousin Joel a while back, and we didn't expect we'd really use it until fall because, lets be honest, Utah isn't exactly the most humid of places..
But this year, Utah has been experiencing more rain than usual in the early summer months. Actually, for most of June, the day would start out sunny and by the early afternoon, the sky would be overcast with some rain to finish off the evening. So things have been nice and green thanks to the extra moisture.

Anyway, the point is that we've had lots of opportunities this summer to pull out the raincoat! Calvin's been stoked at any chance he gets to go run in some puddles..

This Man of Mine

Gentlemen take note.
If you like a girl, get her flowers.
Doesn't need to be a holiday,
Actually, your ladies appreciated it more if there isn't a holiday.

David knows my favorites.
He brings me flowers often.
But he also knows that some of my most favorite flowers he's
gotten me, are ones he's pulled off the side of the road
to pick them himself.
