David's half

David is running the Provo halloween half marathon a week from saturday. His first race. Woot!

Next year I think he'll do a marathon. He has taken to running pretty well, for all his protesting in previous years. One day last spring he came home and suddenly said he thought he should run a half marathon. I think this was the result of seeing all his BYU colleagues have such active lifestyles. I'm excited for him though, I think he'll do running long term now.

Cookie of Shame

David has eaten the Cookie of Shame. 

Go Utes!

first word

DH and I have wondered how you know whether to count something as a first word. Ila has certainly said lots of things in the past, but we didn't think she knew what she was saying.

Until last thursday.

Ila says Hi. :)

another father daughter song...

I don't know how David comes up with this stuff.  He is a big oldies fan, and both songs I've posted on here lately are western themed.

primeness birthday notes

When I was 23 I had a crush on a 29 year old. I told myself, it must be fate if we are both prime numbers. In the intervening years, I have struggled with enjoying these numbers. What is 24 compared to 23? Nothing. (Mathematically 24 is deadly dull comparatively speaking. Even the illustrious perfect square 25 or perfect number 28 does not compare to being prime.) 23 was my golden age after all, as they say. You know, born on the 23rd and turning 23 makes for a golden year. But before the year was even halfway over, I'd switched targets. To DH. yep. I got him good. Woot.

Now I'm 29 and though I dance a jig at my primeness, I can't help looking back to my last prime year of 23 and be so grateful I did switch targets. yay for me and dh!

the end.

this old cowpoke

DH loves to sing and dance with this boo girl. Here is one of many to come, I'm sure. Ila's lack of facial expression is pretty great here.

By the way, this boo girl is crawling. Woo!

the cutest sleeper

I like her a lot. And the gnome.

Just like someone else I know:
