Morgan's New Skills

We caught some cool moments on camera today. Waving, clapping, and talking? Check em out!

Jasper's Cashmere

My sewing skills finally progressed enough to allow me to transform an old cashmere sweater into Jasper's new "Catmere" sweater. Keith thinks it makes him look like an Ivy League kitty.

Tressa's Blessing

Today, we went to Tressa Cruz's blessing in the Euclid Ward, and one of Debi's famous potlucks afterwards. Morgan finally got to meet Tressa and they seemed to hit it off nicely.

Tressa seems to be working towards a promising boxing career.

Morgan was fascinated with the plants surrounding the stake center.

All the girls: Tracy, Morgan, Vanessa and Tressa.

Emily's Farewell Weekend & Trunk or Treat!

Two weekends of festivities: Emily's farewell talk before her mission and then Morgan's first Trunk or Treat.

Our family was kitty themed as you can see.

Zach theorizes that hairless cats are genetically bankrupt because they would be too cold to survive in the wild, but based on Jasper's ability to use available resources to gain the high ground, I'd say he's got all the survival skills he needs.

Grandma treated us to a wonderful meal along Lancaster Blvd.

Oh yea - Jasper is finally potty trained! We just help him avoid temptation by eliminating possible accident sites, while simultaneously storing water for emergencies.

Morgan's First Steps

This week Morgan decided she would start walking.

Sewing

Here is Jasper wearing the first outfit I have made for him tonight. I cleaned my jammed up sewing machine and it lasted long enough to sew this outfit, we are working on getting my grandma's sewing machine restored.

Catch up

Lots to catch up on Morgan and Jasper's play time........

















Morgan has been busy helping daddy study, crawling, walking along furniture, and bubble popping.










































Jasper is obviously more surprised at the court's decision than Keith is.






EMILY'S VISIT!!!


















Conference weekend, hense the lounging in pj's and comforter





Yes Jasper found his new best friend in Emily. He even ditched Keith and I to sleep with her downstairs her second night here.





Home made pizza! We are thinking about making them as part of our family conference tradition...Emily had no complaints:)

















I learned how to do a waterfall braid on you tube and tried it on Emily, all while making the BEST cupcake cookies in the world, thanks to Emily's know how and inspiration!
