Moroni asked me for marshmellows today. I told him he would have to wait until after his lunch. So of course he wanted marshmellows for lunch. I gave him his real options and he opted for a sandwich; after he was finished he asked for his marshmellows again. I gave him some and he ate them promptly and asked for more. I told him he couldn't because he would get sick if he had too many. He then yelled at the top of his lungs, "I want to be sick! I wanna throw up my peanut butter sandwich!!! I WANNA BE SICK ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!"
Is it bad to laugh at your son when he's throwing a fit?

A couple of family videos.
I have been so bad at updating this blog - the following three posts are kind of a quick overview at some of the happenings throughout the year.
This is some fun we had on a little family hike.
Moroni got a "thing" from grandparents for Christmas and everyone has had fun on it. Including the missionaries :) Here is Moroni taking a spin on his new toy.
Recent family videos (the last 2-3 months in a nutshell)
Man this little guy can make me smile!!!
This is a little Moroni interrogation. He is so cute!
Teancum dancing! He is constantly dancing- everytime he hears music he busts some moves. I think it is so cute how innocent and uninhibited he is.
Moroni is playing with TT; trying to keep him laughing.
Teancum learning to walk.

2009 - Favorite pictures - mainly for the grandmas
Try as I might I cannot get these pictures to all fit close together and I would rather just get them posted than waste time playing with it. Sorry it looks so crappy, but it will at least give you an idea of what we have been up to.
This was from a day at the park. We had so much fun playing with daddy for a little while.
Thanksgiving weekend Teancum cut his eye open in the bathtub at the hotel. Gross - I know. I felt sooo bad for him. And now he has a gnarly scare on his eyelid, but I have one just above my eyelid from when I was a little baby; so we look that much more alike :)
Ty catching some air!! On Thanksgiving weekend we went hiking with everyone (except the great-grandma). We had soo much dang fun - and what a great idea; I am sure I burnt off a good 1/8 of the calories I consumed on T-day.
Just a picture of the beautiful baby himself. I love this kid to death! He lights up my life and makes me smile every time I look at him.
Both these picture were taken at a park next to Ty's uncles house. My whole world revolved around these boys! And it is a wonderful world!
I thought this picture was fun - I think he looks a bit like a flying squirrel.
Ty has been reading this book (Daddy's Lullaby) to Moroni since he was a tiny baby. And it has always been Moroni's favorite book. Aren't these two sweet!
I have no pictures of me and the kids so this was an attempt at getting one. We went on a stroller hike and stopped at a playground half way through the hike. I tried using playground equipment to take the picture. It cut us a little tight, but at least we are all in there.
Sweet little guy! I love this picture. He actually caught his balance before he fell off the log. Good thing too because mom was taking pictures instead of helping him :)
Daddy is just making sure to "program" his kids at an early age. This is too precious! Moroni and TT love it when Ty plays the Uke.
This is a picture of Ty surfing at Steamers. I don't have many pictures of Ty surfing because it is usually too hard to get the pics. I have a hard time keeping track of him and catching him on the wave.
This was Ty getting into the water that day. The waves were huge! The picture just doesn't do it justice. I have to admit I was a little scared for his life.
Moroni loves bubbles! The trouble with the lawnmower is going fast enough that the bubbles come out, but still being able to see them.
I love this picture. It was the first time this little family has had the opportunity to participate in a father and son campout. Moroni had sooo much fun!
Just a cute picture of a precious little guy; I wish he was still this little!
He is even smaller here. As you can tell the pictures are going back in time. Teancum was just a newborn in this picture. He was 1 month old.
And younger still. This would have been in the first couple weeks of life. I would open the window and put him on the bed in the sunlight in an attempt to reset his clock so he would be awake more during the day and sleep at night. He loved sitting in the sun, but he would fall asleep as soon as the warm sun hit him. So much for that idea!
I love this picture! The week TT was born we went to the beach so Ty could surf. Moroni LOVES going to the beach and playing in the sand. Grandma got him these little sand toys and he was having a blast with them.
Well that is a quick look at my favorite pictures from 2009. Thanks for looking and letting me share these two cuties with you.

Happy New Year!!!!
2009 was a crazy year! I am grateful for the things I learned and experienced. I learned how important friends are. I learned how much I really do love and care for my friends and how much they affect my life. Good friends have let me cry on their shoulders, vent out my frustrations, pointed out things I could improve in my life, laughed with me, cried with me and have left me with wonderful memories. I am grateful for the patience and thoughtfulness that those that are close to me have had with me. Everywhere I have lived there has been particular friends that have had the most affect on me.
My mom has always been a friend. She would wake up in the middle of the night when I would get home from a date and listen patiently as I rambled on and on about silly things; I can't imagine how many hours of sleep I have cost her to lose throughout my life.
As a teenager Danielle helped me through family frustrations, boy frustrations and was a tremendous source of happiness. I loved staying at her house (practically moved in :) and appreciate that I was practically adopted into her family.
In college there was no denying that Marianne and I were inseperable. I loved secretly passing notes back and forth with her during class. She was so much fun to be around and so easy to talk to.
When I moved to Texas I met my absolute best friend ever. And I married him; I have to admit I was not at all sure about marrying this "dude", but it has been one of the best decisions I could have made. He has made me soooo happy. I love sharing a Home with him. I am grateful that he has taken my goals on as his own and worked so hard to make things that seemed "impossible" really happen. If he loved to cook and do dishes he would be perfect. Maybe when we get to heaven :)
While in Texas Ty and I met and became friends with another couple. I can remember the first time I saw Ferrell. While in Relief Society she got up and made a comment about her husband (I still remember the comment too) and there was something about her; I guess you could call it "chemistry". Then I saw her with her husband (long haired rebellious look'n guy; deep down I really like that look) outside the bishops office and I told Ty I wanted to be friends with them. When we talked to them for the first time we found out they liked to camp and immediately set up plans to go camping together. From then on as hard as they tried they couldn't get rid of us - EVER :) I sure enjoyed having Phil and Ferrell as part of our family.
We did the same thing to the Gunters in Hawaii. I am not sure if we dragged them or if we followed them everywhere. When we first met them I was pregnant with Moroni and Amanda had tried to invite me (a couple of times) to go with her to watch a surf comp. I stood her up everytime. I still feel bad about that, but she was patient and eventually we hooked up and then she spent the rest of the time we lived there stuck with me. Our families went island hopping (camping on 3 different islands) together, we spent most of our holidays together, they helped me through the first 1/2 of my labor with Moroni, Amanda and I served in the primary presidency together and Levin ALWAYS could make me laugh - always. I am telling you when Armegeddon hits he will be the one telling a joke. He will have people laughing while they are going up in flames.
Here in California we have been blessed with some great friends. Although we have been busier now than we have ever been in our lives we have had the opportunity to spend time with good friends like the Spauldings and the Turners and the Uylemans.
I am not sure why I wrote such a long post about the people in my life. I guess it is just the spirit of the New Year. I have been touched by so many people in my life. There are so many people that have taught and showed me how to be a better person and I am blessed to have had them in my life.
