Fun random photos

Spencer reprising the overall look he made famous after his accident at Hogi Yogis when he was potty training a couple years ago. This time he accented it with the leg warmer/bag the newspaper comes in.Brett is automatically the favorite uncle whenever he shares his iPhone.
David was really proud to show me this BYU football player he "made" with some of Aunt Laura's fancy scrapbooking tools.
The folks at BYU's animal museum take a little license with the Nativity.

Spencer's self-portrait:
Dad was so proud:

Uh oh - Michael finally downloaded pictures from his phone. . .

So I'm going to be sharing lots of photos in the next little while, sorry for the deluge. And many of them are out of date, but better late than never.

Heartbreak at the BYU bball game

BYU fell to the 10th-ranked New Mexico Lobos yesterday. The three older kids and I were part of the sell-out crowd who enjoyed the nail-biter that went down to the last shot. There was some confusion at the very end of the game, and as I was desperately searching for a reason to still hope, I felt something against my side. Then I heard a wail. It was Spencer, sobbing against my chest. He had been saying, "They can get a 3-pointer! They can get a 3-pointer!" because BYU was down by 2.

I sat down and he buried his face in my shoulder and sobbed. All the fans walking out patted his back and told him they felt the same.

I wanted to get a photo but didn't want to rub it in. So here he is, still upset when we got to the van.

I must admit, hearing myself consoling him actually helped me feel better about things, too.

And know we have.......................... the PICTURES!!!
