Finally downloaded some pictures.
Our annual (2 years running :) trip to Hee Haw farms by our house. There is so much to do there and so many animals, Aubrie and Robbie weren't sure what to do first. Good times on the animal train!
and the Hayride
About 17 mothers in the neighborhood all decided to split up into groups of 4-5 and do preschool. Here is aubrie's SECOND time going (first was at our house and she really was confused about why she was staying home for school-rotten deal) She really likes it. good stuff.
After eating a cookie and wearing the cutest face you could ever kiss.

Something I read that was profound this morning...
"Now we find many people critical when a righteous person is killed, a young father or mother is taken from a family, or when violent deaths occur. Some become bitter when oft-repeated prayers seem unanswered. Some lose faith and turn sour when solemn administrations by hoy men seem to be ignored and no restoration seems to come from repeated prayer circles. But if all the sick were healed, if all righteousness were protected and the wicked destroyed, the whole program of the Father would be annulled and the basic principle of the gospel, free agency, would be ended.
"if pain and sorrow and total punishment immediately followed the doing of evil, no soul would repeat a misdeed (in other words it needs to be OUR choice not a Pavlovian response). If joy and peace and rewards were instantaneously given the doer of good, there could be no evil--all would do good and not because of the rightness of doing good. There would be no test of strength, no development of character, no growth of powers, no free agency, no Satanic controls. Should all prayers be immediately answered according to our selfish desires ad our limited understanding, then there would be little or no suffering, sorrow, disappointment, or even death; and if these were not, there would also be an absence of joy, success, resurrection, eternal life and godhood" (Spencer Kimball, "Tragedy or Destiny")

Little man
Robbie is getting so grown up. I can't believe the changes in the last few weeks. He had 3 teeth, now he has 8--some are JUST coming in. At the park the other day he started "chasing" after this puppy as fast as he could saying "gog" "gog". He walks now--the real deal. He is starting to retaliate when he gets mad at Aubrie (seems a little soon!:o) The other day she pushed him down and went back to playing and he got up and went over and hit her on the head. I just stayed over in the corner laughing which is not good, but it was pretty funny.
He LOVES balls. Any. He will watch kids at the park playing with them for a long time. He sat on my lap on the couch during the BYU football game for awhile--just watching the game.
He is pretty intense about things. If he doesn't like something he'll let you know. What a cutie-patootie.
