Hawaii Chair

My friend Miki had this posted on her blog. It really is a good laugh! http://ellen.warnerbros.com/2008/01/hawaii_chair.php

Like anyone could possibly know that.

I don't know if any of you have seen this but I'm not so convinced. It seems like there would be more Joanna Wilkins' in the world. There were 134 with Douglas' name, 12 with Sophia's and only 5 with Lilly's. I'm not sure I'm buyin' it.

There are 20 people with my name in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

Fun, Fun, and More Fun!

Things have been good in our house lately. Both of the girls are currently napping (miracle of miracles) and so I'm taking advantage and doing a quick post. Here's a picture of Sophia with her animals yesterday. She got this all set up and then said, "Look! Me and the animals are taking a nap!".

Then one minute later she'd managed to get this thing (we hang a laundry bag around it) around herself and was dancing around.

Lilly's been doing well lately. She went in for her 2 month pokes today and it was so sad! They did one orally and the other four in her legs. I didn't think it was the best idea to shove a bunch of liquid into 2 month old's mouth and then stab her legs so that she screams and chokes at the same time but what do I know? It wasn't the best experience but she made it through (with a lot of gagging, choking, gasping for air, and screaming).

Last Sunday we got together with Doug's family to celebrate Gracelyn's birthday (Happy Birthday today Gracie!). It was fun and we also exchanged a few valentines. My cute sister-in-law Katie always does the most adorable things. If I had the tiniest bit of her creative magic I may be getting somewhere. Anyway, she made these cute "sour cream container" valentines filled with candy
and these adorable "nugget tins" for the big kids.
They turned out so cute! Here's a link for how to make the cute sour cream containers. The pictures just do not do them justice.

Bumps and Bruises

My poor girl took a tumble face first out of her booster seat yesterday when I was making her lunch. It was so sad because she caught herself with her face. I thought she'd cut through her lip becuase she was bleeding everywhere but somehow she had just scraped the skin off of her lip (gross I know). Anyway her lip totally swelled and needless to say, she did not eat the lunch I had just made for her. Instead she spent the afternoon watching American Tale...twice.

After a little nap she was doing much better and I was so thankful she didn't need stiches. By the end of the night she was bouncing around like her normal self again. (I just can't get enough of the sparkly jammies!)


I don't know how many of you got to see President Hinckley's funeral today but I thought it was fabulous. It was so neat to hear the things that were shared about him and to reflect on his life. I did fine during the whole thing and then balled through the last hymn (My Shepherd Will Supply My Need-in case you missed it). First of all, I love that song and I don't think anything else would have been more fitting, and second the little video sequence they showed during the hymn really got me going. Seeing him walking with his wife was just a little too much for me to handle. Anyway, if you missed it, be sure to catch a rebroadcast (if they're doing one).
