What you see here is an engine block and one of the pistons, which is supposed to have a nice smooth finish on it. The little piece of metal and the dents aren't supposed to be there.
Ouch
Thought I would share a picture of our poor damaged car.

Back to School
Am I crazy or what? These are my books and modules for this semester. Eighteen credit hours and a fourteen month old. Not a great mix. But doable, I hope! A year goes by fast and when I look back I am sure I will be glad I did it. I also just want to say how thankful I am for Karl. I know this is going to make the next year harder than it would have been for us and create a lot of extra work for him. He has been nothing but supportive to me and I appreciate him so much. Sorry ladies, but I have the best husband in the world!
Ordinary Things
It is so funny how little kids get excited about the most ordinary things. Addison's newest word is "shoe". It seems every little kid goes through the shoe stage. I still find it quite endearing though. She really likes to get her shoes on and put on ours. Here she is testing out mommy's running shoes. This picture also displays two of my favorite things about Addison. Her crazy hair and her two front teeth!
Speaking of teeth, Addison is learning to brush hers. She has a lot for a fourteen month old (I think the count is up to 16 now) . Every night we go through this little routine. "See? Look how Daddy brushes his teeth! It feels so good to have clean teeth, doesn't it?" And Addison plays with her toothbrush, casually moving it around, copying what we do. The part that isn't pictured comes next. Mommy has a turn at brushing Addison's teeth, which isn't nearly as pleasant for anyone as the first round!

Personality
Addison has been growing so much lately. She has finally decided it's time to walk. I've been trying to get her to walk for months now, and she would just pull her feet up and refuse to even try, but now that she's decided she wants to, she has to. If we go anywhere, she won't let us carry her anymore, and she hates her stroller.
Here are some other things I've been enjoying lately. Addie has been discovering her tongue, so we see this often now. Usually when she does this, I touch her tongue and it makes her laugh.
She has been trying to do some of the things that she sees us do. Here she is helping Dad comb his hair, and simultaneously displaying her newest toothy grin. The grin is her new favorite expression. We love it.
Here she is hanging out in a bowl. She also loves to empty the laundry basket so she can sit in it. We have been finding weird things in the laundry basket, because she like to carry things around with her but she has to drop them to remove the clothes. Then, when we return the clothes to the basket, whatever she dropped tends to go with them. A few days ago, we found my scriptures in there.
This picture is pretty much just here for the hair. What do you think, mine or Kristin's?
We're currently working on getting a video of her walking posted as well. Getting it from the camcorder to the computer to the internet to the blog is taking me awhile, but hopefully that will be up here soon.

Squaw Peak
Here are some pictures from our trip up to the Squaw Peak Overlook with Kristin's family, mostly of Addison having a blast.
Here she is on the attack . . .
and after reaching her prey.
Hiding behind Dad's shoulder to scout out her next victim.
Hanging out with Mom and Aunt Sarah. And Dad's elbow.
After this, we drove the long dirt road all the way down to Hobble Creek Canyon in Springville. Sadly, the camera was out of batteries, so we couldn't get any more pictures of the beautiful views. Or the flat tire.
