I saw that Ben S put the up on cougarboard.com. This award is for the best college point guard. Clearly, it's Jimmer Fredette.

First First Day of School Photos
Lauren and I started an ECFE class this week (early childhood family education) at a local elementary school. The kids and parents play for about an hour, then they separate and the parents have half an hour of parent discussion. The teacher didn't come and get me while we were gone, so I consider that a victory, although Lauren definitely looked like she had been crying when I came back in...I think this will be good for us (and good practice for nursery in a month!)
So here are Lauren's first first day of school pictures. What do you think of her choice of outfit?

Soliloquy
It's Christmas. I don't see what everyone's so excited about.
What's this?
It's Christmas!
I like my new princess car. But not quite as much as I like this cracker I'm holding onto in my mouth. It's too good to swallow.
Ah, yes. If you give me milk, I will have to swallow the cracker first. Clever.
Look at all this stuff!
It's so exhausting being this cute all the time.
Some tunes always make me feel better.
But really, can't I just sit down and rest for a while?

circa 1990
Preston and I have been cleaning out the storage closet, which means I got to peruse all my old journals and stories again. Here for your enjoyment are some excerpts from my earliest journal, received Christmas 1989. Spelling and punctuation have not been modernized.
1989 Tues. Dec. 26: It's the day after Christmas. I ate some candy from my stocking. I played paper dolls. We played Clue. Mom won. Dad is going to fix my necklace. Christmas was fun. Joseph played with his train. I talked to Sister Graves on the phone.
Thur Dec 28, 1989: It's Thurday. I went to the Doctor. I Got some medicine. We watched Cosby. I went to the hospital for an x-ray. The x-ray was a machine that you sort of hugg. I wrote on my chalk bord. I have to drink alot of water. Joanna is sick too.
Fri Dec 29, 1989: It Good Old Friday. Joanna had two bloody noses. I got better. Mom went to the store and got soup and popsicles. Graves came over. it rained. Joseph went sledding. We watched goustbusters.
Tues Jan 9, 1990: Today was the worst day of my life. Emily made me sit with Wendy (the stink). Mom put some of that dumb pie in my lunch. I got a reward in art.
Tues Jan 23, 1990: i wore my glasses to school When i got my glasses when i went to the eye doctor i got a watch Mom is having a baby Joanna said she is poping up like a balloon At school i fell and hit my head Kelley got in big trouble Dad went on a trip He called
June 4. I missed alot of days. Swimming starts today, Joanna is in tadpole. Mom had her baby Her name Is Janet Kathleen Scoresby. Now she is only a week old. I guess thats all. Mom and Dad changed the rooms. Aunt MaryAnn came. she got blessed today
June 6: Time has realy flied by. I went to swimming. My teacher's name is Jenafur. Sister Lemon came over today. She brout some brownes. they are good Ben got a tetherball for his birthday. Today Ben also got a haircut. It looks neat. On the day before the last day of school we had a sub her name was Miss Davidson. That day was feild day I got two awards in the awards asembblly.
June 7, 1991 (a whole year later): We are in the van. It is Friday We should get there pretty soon. We are in South Dakota. We had Super Golden Crisp for breakfast. Last night I had to sleep in the backseat. Sarah was taking up the whole seat finally I just got on the floor. Janet isn't liking this much. She didn't like sleeping in the van. We are there. We had tacos for lunch.
Jan. 17, 1992: I guess I haven't wrote for about a year but not that much wonderful things happened in 1991. I'm going to try to remember all the important things that happened last year. I entered 3rd grade this year. My teacher's name is Mrs. Rice. she is very nice A second grade girl comes to math with us every day. Her name is Andrea For Christmas 1991 I got a ten speed bike, and a cookbook from Mom and Dad. Everything else I got was clothes. During the summer Aunt Ramona got married. We went to it. I served cake at the reception. Now I have an Uncle Randall. We went to Sherry & Jeanette's house. I am 9 years old now. We went to Aunt MaryAnn's house the day before New Year's eve. Our spelling words are contractions. Contractions and apostrophe are our bonus words. They are easy. Yesterday school was cancelled. The day before that we had a sub. Mrs Rice had to have a root canal done. Our sub was Mrs. Pozderac. We've had 4 subs this year so far. Tonight I am going to sleep over at Ashlie's house. April is too. We are going to see Hook. Then we are going to MacDonalds. That is why I'm writing now. Well I think that's all that happened in 1991. But now it is 1992 & I'm trying to write every day. It's almost time for me to go to Ashlie.
Nov. 1: Dad went to Texas today. He left during Priesthood. He will be back Friday. Everyone has been asking me for candy. I finaly gave everyone a piece. I hid it somewhere. Janet invaded Sarah's candy. Bye!

The writing is on the wall....
....it's on the dining room wall, the bedroom wall, the wall in the hall.....it's also on the back of the couch and various items of clothing.
My point: it's time to lock up the pens and pencils.....
