Here is a picture of Jenna and Justin's newest addition: Jaedon Jack Whiting. He weighed 6 lbs. 11 oz. and was 19.5" long. He is welcomed home by Jonathan (3) and Kaitlyn (14 months).

This makes 10 boys and 12 girls for the Philip Johnson Grandkids. We have 2 more due in February and March: Candice and Stephanie.

Kirsten discovers her shadow

The other day, Kirsten kept lifting her foot up then putting it down and looking underneath it. At first, I thought she had stepped in something, but after watching her for a while, she had discovered her shadow. When she lifted her foot up and the shadow would move away, when she put her foot down the shadow became attached. So she would sit down and try to take it off. We watched her for about 5 minutes while she tried to figure out how to get it off. It is so cute see life through the innocence of a child. I laughed all day thinking about it.

Hi Everyone! I am writing my New Year's Resolutions down so that everyone can see and remimd me how I am doing.
#1-You always put lose weight down just because that seems to be the thing to do, but I am going to change that to: Be able to run a mile without stopping, before July. Many may think that this is a silly challenge, but it's mine and I would like to be able to do it again. Once I get that goal reached, I'll start putting a time limit on it.
#2- Lori Nate has a good goal-Enjoy the moment-My kids are growing so fast, and I am feeling guilty that I can't remember some of the kids "FIRSTS". So I am going to slow down, listen, observe, and enjoy them.
#3-I want to read the Doctrine & Covenants completely through. I read most of it in Seminary, but have only browsed it since, so I am going to become more familiar with our modern day revelations.
These are the goals that I am going to set now. They seem achieveable. Let me know yours okay.
