Old Spice, BYU Style

You might remember that I'm a big fan of the Old Spice commercials, even when Grover does them. Here's the latest copycat I've found and it comes from...the library at BYU. It's a keeper!

Happy New Year!

Stand.

Some of you might recognize this stitching project:I love how it turned out! Thanks for the pattern, M!

Missionary Pictures!

Not only did we get to talk to Peter for an hour on Christmas Eve, but he sent pictures too! This is all of the missionaries on the South Island, together for their Christmas Conference. Pete's up on the stage, yellow tie, standing next to Beckwith.Here's Peter chasing some sheep. He said they were pretty fast and he couldn't keep up. I think he's shaking his fist at them.
This looks like a service project to me. Peter says he's done more yard work on his mission than he ever did at home. This is ironic, because for the last 4 years he's worked at a plant nursery and a landscape company! One comment he's made is that he meets people from all over the world. This picture is a good example. Nationalities, from left to right: American, Samoan, Aussie, South African, Maori and German.Peter and his companion- Pete said this was their Christmas picture. See the wildflowers in the background? It's summer there.Missionary pictures make me happy!

Christmas Cruise

I like Christmas morning with grown-up kids. No rushing, plenty of sleeping in, it's nice! This year we decided to give one big gift to our whole family- we are going on a Mexican cruise together in February. Did I mention it was a Disney Cruise? :) So a lot of the little things we gave each other was cruise-related. Brian and Lindsey made towel animals for Ben and Shannon:Bruce got some new cruise shirts:The girls had a fight with the plastic lobster and crab that were decorating their presents:I think this is a funny picture of Brian with the laptop skin he got from B&S:
Of course the cat was in on the action too. We made her pose with her presents. Now she thinks that she needs her new, special food at all times. She screams at me for it. I'm trying to give it to her at random times so that she doesn't know when it's coming.

2 Daughters=Matching Pjs?

On Christmas Eve we had fun with our other traditions, like reading the Christmas story and modeling Christmas pjs:
I've had this strange urge lately to buy matching outfits for Shannon and Lindsey. I need to control this compulsion, because I don't think they appreciate being matchy-matchy.
