Family

Our family went to Temple Square to take some photos last week.  We have a bit of a temple theme going on lately, so we thought it was appropriate to get our pictures taken here.  

This place is so awesome.  Seriously.

Oh yeah...

This was my first time snowboarding for the season, and I could not have had a better day.  It was dumping all morning and as you can see, we are caked in heavenly powder.  

It's time.

Yep.

Sweet Little Girl

I would like you all to meet....

Emma. (Brit... hope you don't mind, but it just fit).  Here are a few pics of her first weekend at home.

Emma and Elliott chillin on the stairs.

Elliott teaching Emma how to catch grasshoppers.

Elliott watching over Emma as she sleeps.  He loves her soooo much.

Elliott's Halloween costume :)  He wore it for approximately thirty seconds, just for the picture.  He slips into a coma whenever I put clothes on him.

My freaky Halloween eyes and new hair color.

New do.

Ok, I've been blonde for long enough, but I must admit, I like it.  It's very unlike me to not to change my hair color or style on a regular basis.  Needless to say, it's time for a change, but I want some input.

White Blonde?

Black?

Red-Orange?

Dark Brown?

Medium Blonde? (close to what it is now)

And this is as close to natural as it gets.

Thoughts?? Suggestions??

Crazy Cat Lady

In the words of a former co-worker, I'm becoming "the crazy cat lady."  You know... that single old lady that lives alone and collects cats, except in my case... its dogs. Yep, Elliott has a little sister on the way.  I'm having trouble coming up with a name, which is why I'm asking for help (Brit, thanks for the idea).  My two blog readers may be able to help me out :)  I just have a few requirements, she must have a human name, and it must go with Elliott.  She's four weeks old now, and I'd like to come up with her name soon so she can get used to it before I bring her home in a month or so.  Look at this adorable mug.....
