Unconventional Rocking Chair

Kellene has found a new way of rocking in her chair. She did this for about 35 min. straight the other night. This video was after we spent all night in the ER with her. She had croup.

The Missionaries come to visit

Salt Lake mission rules state that the Elders cannot hold babies. They held strong to this rule for the first little while, but when Kellene turned on her charm and started tugging at them to be picked up, they couldn't resist, especially Elder Heitonga who has a 2 year old little brother that he hasn't seen since he was 2 weeks old.

Elder Mclaren from Alberta, Canada had his shinning moment with Kellene when he let her play with his glasses. They were indestructible and could be bent in half. Both elders pulled out their cameras so that they could get similar shots of this pose.

Kellene with Elder Heitonga from Tonga. She sat on his lap and listened very intently while he taught us about half the lesson. I can't remember the last time she sat still for that long and was that quiet. She really liked him and kept crawling back over to him and tugging on him to pick her up. It was soooooo cute!

Pizza for dinner!!

nutrigrain bar, and to drink, prune juice watered down!

Pizza is good to eat and also makes good eye makeup!


The 2 sick kids. For once Kellene got Daddy sick instead of the other way around.

Our Little Snow Bunny

On New Year's Day, we took Kellene sledding with some friends of ours. She seemed to like it and even let out a few little laughs. Her favorite part wasn't the sledding though, every chance she could get she wanted to crawl in the snow.
Happy New Year's Everyone!
