Our Week (10/04 - 10/10)

Oh Emma. She loves to push chairs around so that she can climb up on counters and tables and get into things that she shouldn't:

Our Week (09/20 - 10/03)

Scott bragged to the missionaries that general conference weekend is like Super Bowl Sunday for us. (Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't--depending on Mom's energy level.) This weekend we ended up making chips and guacamole, chips and 7-layer dip, wings, ham and cheese sliders, a veggie tray (with deviled eggs), and sparkling punch. This was pre-Saturday afternoon session. The missionaries joined us.
