Overheard at Our House

One great thing about being a stay-at-home mom is the opportunity to sing at the top of your lungs whenever and whatever you feel. As I was washing the chicken and stars off Addison's face after lunch today, we were rockin' out to my version of Miley Cyrus' Party in the USA (don't tell Nate, but I am a fan). Addison asked me what that song was. Encouraged by his interest, we started up with some awesome dance moves along with my singing. Right in the thick of it he said, "No! Peter and the Wolf!" Um, for those of you who don't know, that's an orchestral composition by Prokofiev. Wow. Good thing he has his dad to teach him some culture around here.

    Yeah, right. My wife, the music major, the BYU philharmonic star trumpeter, is the one lacking culture. But you BETTER turn that Miley Cyrus off - remember, the family that listens to something other than Miley Cyrus together, stays together.

    Hahaha, that's awesome! You must be doing something right. And yeah, I think that your music major-ness might help with that.

Nate the daredevil

We had one more adventure last Saturday that Nate was too embarrassed to write about. Before our hiking excursion we went to Liberty Park to feed the ducks. Addison had a great time in his stroller soaking up some rays and watching the lake and the people and the birds. We tried hard to avoid the seagulls, which are gross if you've never had much contact with them, and to get to the two ducks that were around, but competition for that bread was pretty fierce, so Nate decided to make the geese work for it (since they're the only ones that would). The documented evidence makes me wonder who was working harder, though, and who was more scared. Must be those ferocious beaks or the powerful weapons they like to call webbed feet. Notice Addison's feet in the video where you can see them.

Golden Parenting Moments

Several weeks ago, Nate woke up feeling gung-ho on a Saturday morning and decided we were going on a family sledding trip. I was a grump, but went along with it anyway. By the time we found a decent place and got a good trail worn down the kids got snow in their drawers and it was time to go. We had a great time, obviously. Poor Nate! .
