If you think you're a good dancer, you better watch out 'cause this little girl is gonna show you up!

Baby Dolls are Better

Just so I don't freak anyone else out, I have to tell you that the mini motorcycle isn't for real. Eva can barely run straight and without falling down so it's terrifying to think of her riding something motorized. I suppose she is like her mother in that way. I was scared to drive even our wimpy scooter we used to have. We were just in the KTM dealership to get Eric's bike fixed and they had about 20 of these little motorcycles so we thought it would be a fun trick to play on the grandmas...

Instead, Santa brought Eva 2 baby dolls. I love to watch her hug her baby because she holds it ever so carefully in between her shoulder and cheek and carries it around. Then she plops it in the stroller and pushes it while running at top speed around our empty living room. She says, "botto." And then after she takes a fake sip, she shoves the toy bottle in the dolls face. It's so sweet. Much sweeter than a motorcycle.

Thanksgiving Race in SLC

Here I am after the Thanksgiving 5k with my bro Mike and sis in law Emily. Sorry Dad, we didn't win the million dollars. But I'd say we did pretty awesome AND we got to eat 2nds at dinner and 3rds of dessert.

Must See Alaina

Hey everyone,

My sis got her blog up and running so check out their new baby girl under Sam and Liss.

Red Neck Lingerie

Some husbands buy their wives satin and lace, but hunters' wives wear lovely nighties like this. Eric got home from his elk hunt with the Vaterlaus's yesterday and was quite excited to give Eva and I our new prizes and show us photos of his week's adventure. She loved pointing at my back and saying, "ewlk." I thought these guys must be crazy to live out in the cold for a week with no hot showers or bathrooms, but after learning about the Vaterlaus extravaganza I can see why they have so much fun.

Meet the Tooth Fairy

She's very friendly, saying hi to everyone that comes by. She gives out handfuls of gum and toothbrushes and will dance for you if you are lucky.

She pays cash for lost teeth and suckers.

She likes sugar.

But then she pouts when her teeth aren't clean.

She glows.

This is where she lives.
