Rise and shout, the Cougars are out!

Well it looks like BYU has decided that they, in fact, have NOT had enough of Lance during his undergrad and would like him to attend their Law School in September of 2008. We are very excited as this is really the only school we wanted to go to. Congratulations to Lance! We've missed Utah and are excited to return. Well, actually I have not missed the frigid winters AT ALL, but such is life. I guess we'll have to just go to Hawaii every February, right mom? ;) (Yes, my parents missed my birthday in February on many occasions due to a necessary trip to Hawaii in the middle of winter--it's okay, mom, I've recovered and now I most definitely understand :)

Socks and Stickers...

...are some of Mikey's favorite things

And it's no longer fun to put them on paper. Human flesh is the only acceptable surface for which he is willing to use a sticker. (Maybe if daddy wasn't demonstrating the fun with this kind of sticker-covered flesh display....)
His own socks, of course, aren't all that fun, he's only interested in daddy's socks.

Mikey's Messes

I think most little kids have a knack for making messes. Mikey is no exception.

Here he took a box of pretzels into our room and got on the bed. Before we knew it he had dumped the entire contents into our unmade bed which provided many folds and layers for little pieces of salt to remain in for the rest of eternity.

Now here, I'm not sure what happened because he's actually quite skilled at using a spoon and feeding himself. He usually ends up with food directly around the mouth and a bit down the front. So my best guess here is that this was intentional playing with food because it was everywhere!

And here is his first piece of wall art--directly on the wall. Luckily I discovered those little magic cleaning erasers. The crayon was gone in a flash!
