I need your help!!

Friends! I dare not be arrogant enough to pretend I know everything...so I need some ideas! Robbie and I are starting to make Ivy more a part of our FHE's, but I don't have very many ideas on how to do that. What do you do, or what have you done to include your baby/toddler in your FHE lessons? What were your topics? What were your activities? Do you have any good lessons? So far we've done felt board pictures, gospel art pictures, and a Living Scripture DVD. I don't know if she is still too young, but I want to start now so she will be used to those type of lessons. Anyway, I would really appreciate some ideas! Thank you!!!!

Walker update!

We are doing great. We are super busy with clogging competitions, but we get some time now and then for fun. For example, Robbie and his friend Greg were sent to go move a mattress...when I went to check how it was going, this is how I found them. :) We started brushing Ivy's teeth, er, gums. :) At first she didn't like it at all - but now she giggles every time we do it. So, Ivy is in this stage of major stranger anxiety...but she has no problem with kids - any kids. This is the first time she met sweet Macy and the first thing she did was give her a big kiss. And believe it or not, Ivy is standing all by herself! She is standing ALL the time now. Before you know it she will be a "WALKER". (get it?) Grandma Tolman - thank you so much for the Valentine's card. Ivy loved it! I discovered the best babysitter: the laundry basket. The best part is, it doesn't charge me a thing! This was just a sweet moment...thought I would share. Ivy is really starting to get how to play. It's so fun - she will come up to us and start playfully screaming while she bites our bellies or knees...she thinks she's tickling. It's awfully cute. Like I said, we're doing fine. The economy is stressful, and we're always worried about our finances...but with a sweet face like this running around the house, it doesn't keep us down for long! Happy belated Valentine's Day everyone!

Seems like yesterday...

That's actually not true. It seems like FOREVER ago, and that's why I had to post. These are some old pictures I found on my computer that I didn't even know were there. They are from college, and one with Connor from high school. I thought that the people who were in these pictures with me would appreciate the walk down memory lane. :)
