We are really lucky that we have a new friend in the ward who is a professional photographer. She consented to spare me the trip to the mall to pay too much for portraits and came to our house one day to photograph the kids (early October). You'd never know it, but Trenton was tired and cranky and Kira was quite contrary, insisting that since these pictures were for her scrapbook, they should be what she wanted. When Jodee left I was thinking we would be lucky to get one or two good shots of each. Luckily that is not the case! The trouble is eliminating shots, and there are still more to come that I haven't seen yet (Jodee's work got interrupted by bed rest), so look back in a month or so for more pictures that make my children look more angelic than they really are.

Beautiful Boy

Mom's madness
Life isn't all about the little ones. Mom and Dad stay pretty busy, too. Here are a few of the things that I have been working on. In the top picture The Arizona Mormon Choir participates in the presentation of "Joseph Smith, the Prophet" at ASU's Gammage Auditorium. (I am the tallest soprano in the back row next to the basses).
I still occasionally do wedding flowers. This was one of Amber's friends who was married in September.
Happy Birthday Trenton!

Brotherly (& sisterly) Love
Trenton can't always decide if he loves his big sister, or he'd just rather she leave him alone.
Bathtime
These were taken the night we discovered that Trenton knows how to get himself into the bathtub. It happened so fast. I heard a big splash and bonk, but no crying. He immediately went to the faucet and started playing the running water--his favorite thing! I had to take a picture before taking his clothes and soaking diaper off. His sister loves to play with him in the bathtub. We just have to keep reminding him to sit down and have taken the handle off of the faucet so he can't keep turning it on.
Summer Fun
