Courtnee-

Our Courtnee loves to model Daddy's latest Gimme Clips. Yesterday she got to try some of the new fall clips that we have coming out.

Madilyn-- Continues to Grow

Little Madilyn continues to grow up! Krista has had fun with the camera and I have had fun playing with the picutures... Just for kicks here are some photos from the past week. Madi is doing better, and we will be glad when she kicks the strain of RSV that she has been fighting.

Twins--6 Years Apart

Everyone kept telling us that our little Madilyn looked just like Courtnee. Yesterday, Krista dressed Madilyn in one of the outfits we saved from 6 years ago.. (hmmm wonder if Krista new something I didn't....) Anyway, to make a long story short, it looks like we have twins... and no I did NOT do any photoshop work on the pictures! Funny huh? Do you know which one is Courtnee and which one is Madi?

David had his first Game on Wednesday. He played 2 innings, and played very well on defense. He got 5 outs at first, 2 of which were unassisted. He only got 1 at bat, and went down swinging. His team beat Springville 13-2. Next Game Monday March 16th against Lone Peak.

Shiri's Team-

I was poking around on BYUH.EDU today and found some more pictures of our Shiri... Framed them and now am posting them. We love and miss her. We are so proud of her and for what she stands for. We consider ourselves extreemly blessed to have her as a daughter.

St. Madi?

Well it is almost St. Patrick's Day, so lets just call it St. Madi's Day instead shall we? Krista took a few photos I thought turned out pretty good of little Madilyn.

Baby Feet

Baby Feet
Edgar Guest

Tell me, what is half so sweet
As a baby's tiny feet,
Pink and dainty as can be,
Like a coral from the sea?
Talk of jewels strung in rows,
Gaze upon those little toes,
Fairer than a diadem,
With the mother kissing them!

It is morning and she lies
Uttering her happy cries,
While her little hands reach out
For the feet that fly about.
Then I go to her and blow
Laughter out of every toe;
Hold her high and let her place
Tiny footprints on my face.

Little feet that do not know
Where the winding roadways go,
Little feet that never tire,
Feel the stones or trudge the mire,
Still too pink and still too small
To do anything but crawl,
Thinking all their wanderings fair,
Filled with wonders everywhere.

Little feet, so rich with charm,
May you never come to harm.
As I bend and proudly blow
Laughter out of every toe,
This pray, that God above
Shall protect you with His love,
And shall guide those little feet
Safely down life's broader street.

Dance--The Hidden Language of the Soul

Courtnee loves to Dance! On Sunday she just had to have Daddy take her picture as she twirled and danced in the morning sunlight that was streaming through the window. Some say that dance is the hidden language of the soul... Perhaps this quote applies most effectivly to the heart of a child. We love our Courtnee.

Maidlyn Susanne--Dress from Jeff & Heidi

Heidi Durham (our President's wife) made this beautiful dress and shoes for Madilyn as a gift. I couldn't believe it when they gave it to us for several reasons. 1) the quality was incredible, 2) the style was so fashion forward, but I should have expected this, and 3) Heidi is several months along right now with her 4th child... and their oldest is just 5. We really appreciated the thoughtfulness of the gift and think Madi looks great in it... I know we may be just a bit biased, but then again when you are as old as I am, I guess you get that privilege.

David's Best...

I think David was feeling a little left out... no pictures of him on the family Blog. I think this has to be one of the best pictures he has ever taken... I put it in a custom framzottz... I'm pretty sure the next pictures of him will be baseball related!

Madi Sue

Little Madi loves to smile at her mother.
