Pictures from the zoo...

Here's a picture of our fish, Otto. We got him right before Christmas. He's camera shy and swam away right after I took his picture.


The Relief Society of the Southfield Ward dropped a banana bread off for us. Mikey thought he'd dig right in.

Mikey's way of showing affection is a gentle head tap. He's not into giving kisses right now.

That's it from the zoo.

We love the Snow

We just got back from a trip up to Utah.  The kids and Jason went skiing all day Friday and Saturday while I got to chill with London and Zachariah. Matt was nice enough to stay with the kids one night while Jamie and I went and got our toes done for WAY too much money, but it was worth it. Haven't done that in about FOREVER!  We did have a mini party for Jason on his birthday Saturday night and Galen got to come over and play some Xbox games and eat cake and sloppy joes with us. That is when Jason got "our" new camera...which is where these new pics are coming from.  We have been without a camera for a while now (been using the kids little cameras). We also got to play in the snow by our house for a bit.  Well, I watched.  Almost healed from my surgery, but just a little more time needs to go by before I can get all active and junk.  

Thank You!!!

Hey All! We just wanted to send a huge THANK YOU for the awesome baby gift. Laurel came over yesterday, in the middle of a snow storm, to take pictures of the kids. It took Mikey a little time to open up, but he ended up saying "more, more, more." Katie did her thing and looked cute and peaceful. We can't wait to see the pictures and share them with you. Thanks again for helping us create wonderful memories of the kids.

Love you. Joni and Derek

SLC Night

So we did Temple sq. for fhe the other night.  London loved it.  When she first saw the Christ statue she said " Jesus night night"  So silly.  They had a great time! 

My Brave Little Girl

She is SUCH a trooper! Even the doctors were amazed yesterday at how brave she was throughout the whole process - X-Rays, cast, etc. Stupid chair! She got her leg caught in our new kitchen chair while it tipped back. Luckily Jarom had the day off and could take her to the hospital. AND thank goodness she didn't break it on a growth plate - that would have required surgery. As my neighbor said, "At least she doesn't have cancer or something." Sometimes yah wanna punch people that are positive like that. JK

JONI & DEREK, AWESOME job on baby Kate! She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

High Carb Dinner!!!!

Yummy! Spaghetti and meatballs! It was great and Mikey enjoyed every bite. We think he ate enough, but our floor was a mess after dinner.

Some Pictures of the little one...

Here's Kate in her "pajamas". If you look closely, the pants are a long sleeve shirt on upside down.



Here's Kate in the nursery. She's under the "french fry lamp" as my sister called it. She had to spend some time under a warmer to bring her temp up so she could have a bath.




Here she is... a little angel.



Derek was reading to both kids the other morning.

Eyes open!
