We Miss You Dada!

Ali | September 29, 2008

Ben is out of town for almost this whole week.  I wanted to dedicate this post to him.  While he was gone tonight I put Alonzo in his new PJ’s.  They are the 12 month size, of course, but I think he looks so cute in them.  I had to put them on so Ben [...]

Fall Pictures

Ali | September 28, 2008

I decided, the other day, to go up Logan canyon and take pictures.  I wanted to put a picture above our bed.  So I borrowed my sister’s nice camera and took some pictures of the temple, waterfalls, fall leaves, and Old Main.  I also took some of Alonzo, one of which I enhanced to add a [...]

Goodbye Party

Ali | September 15, 2008

My little brother Ben goes to the MTC on Wednesday.  He spoke in church Sunday and we had a family party afterwards to say our goodbyes.  Ben gave a great talk on humility.  He is a very humble person, so that was a good topic for him.  Love you Ben!  You are going to be [...]

I’m going to be America’s Next Top Model. . .or so I thought in my dream.  Last night I dreamt that I was on that modelling show.  Of course I was a “plus size” model, but that didn’t matter.  At least I made it on the show.  I lasted two weeks.  They were pretty tricky poses, [...]

Mama and Baba

Ali | September 7, 2008

I just wanted to let you all know that my baby said mama and baba today.  I made Ben listen to be sure that I wasn’t just hearing it because I wanted too.  He agreed with me and said he was really saying those words.  I’m sure he doesn’t know what they mean yet, but [...]
