A picture

Today

Here are some pictures of Brita from today. She wore all sorts of new clothes today. Good times today.

The Clapping Game

Here's a video of Brita playing the "leader" role in her new clapping game. This could keep her occupied for hours... that is, if the crowd could keep up with her. Here we are after playing for several minutes already. :)

Here's our fridge letters these days

We've lost some. We don't have a single h left. The others are going quickly as well.

Notice the guy on the skateboard?

My house in Oregon

This is where I lived in Oregon (at least when we lived up river).

This is where I wanted to live in Oregon.  (It's right outside of Walterville.)

Random missing Oregon moment

This is a draft from a while ago. It's not finished, but I was missing Oregon again as I looked at my pictures today, so I guess I'll post it.

I just saw one of my friend's little brother on facebook. It reminded me of the time that he sent me a secret admirer letter at girls camp just so I could get some mail. That was awesome. It smelled a lot. Mail at girls camp in Oregon was a huge deal.

Maybe some day we'll get our scanner working and I can add a girls camp picture here. Maybe the one with Molly and me with our mouths open with spaghetti in our mouths. And Myrtle looking like we're the weirdest people on earth. That's my favorite girls camp picture.

Sometimes I miss the Oregon people a lot. Probably the most of any place I've lived. At least right now. I loved who I was when I was living in Oregon. That was ten years ago. Crazy.

I remember it took my cat dying for me to get the nerve to call one of my friends to see if we could hang out. Or maybe she called me. Her family didn't like me. Her oldest brother offered to give me $20 if I never went back to church....

For Grandma

Fresh pictures

My Dad and Mom just stopped by (for about 7 minutes) and brought me fresh pictures to scan. I stored my pictures with my parents for a few years, so there are some of mine that I haven't seen in forever. Here's one that made me laugh out loud when I saw it.


It was taken in Virginia I'm thinking on Chad's 20th birthday (well, when we made the cake at least, judging from the other pictures around it).

The cheesiest post around

Monday night for our post family-home-evening-activity activity we packaged cheese. We did somewhere around 13 pounds.


I grated.

Peter packaged.

Brita kept busy.

Here're our babies all ready to go down to the freezer.

Peter came up with another title for this post. I'm sure you can guess what it was.

Happy Girl

Here are some pictures to celebrate Brita being happy again after my shower. I was trying to get her teeth.

And here's me eating her.
