Porter in L.A.?

We have a bunny named Porter :) Here he is:

He's a good boy and stays in his cage... no escaping at night, that I know of.
But then I came across this picture while browsing some blogs...

and here's a close up of it:

Porter... you have a twin in LA. Who knew? haha! They seriously look identical!!

Apparently, this guy was out shopping and walking around with his bunny perched on his shoulder!! That is some serious bunny training!! Wow! We could never do that with Porter. Cute :)

Funny

Little kids say some of the funniest things!

Today, at the playground, I was sitting on the grass and must not have looked pregnant to Alex because he came up to me and said "Mommy, your baby fell off!" . He seemed really concerned and then confused when I was laughing.

Too cute!!! ;)

Another one bites the dust!!!

Tooth #2 has joined the first ... to be part of the toothfairy's castle (made of teeth, of course) !! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Dave surprised me with these chocolate covered strawberries that he made himself!!!

Such yummy deliciousness!! Thanks Dave!!! I love you!! :)

1st Lost Tooth

Sage was so excited to lose her first tooth about a week ago!! The tooth fairy didn't disappoint! :)

A Tribute to President Hinckley

My friend, Vanessa, put this on her blog... I know she won't mind that I'm putting it on mine too.

I will miss President Hinckley.

Little Baby

We're having a baby!! :) Here are some pictures from our ultrasound on January 15th. The baby is due around June 17th and we (especially Sage) are very excited!!


some heavy thinking... or thumb sucking??

cute little foot ;)
Oh and in case you were wondering... It's a Girl!! (and Sage is so excited she can't stand it!!)

ps... I can't figure out how to make our blog stop cutting off the right half of the pictures... but if you click on the pictures you can see them full size.

School Pictures

This is Sage's Kindergarten school picture :)





Alex even got to sit in, with his sissy, on one!!



Here's the class photo... remember your kindergarten class picture? (now would be a great time to post mine... but I don't have it) Anyway, fun stuff!

Giving Thanks...

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!

Hello XL7!!

And we're off!....

Sqaw Peak (Piestewa Peak)

A group from Relief Society (including me) hiked Piestewa Peak early in the morning. Here's the group before we started hiking.




















The sunrise was gorgeous on the way up...





















... the first group to make it to the top. I might add, I'm a wimp and this hike was very hard for me... I was very proud of myself for making it to the top!!




















And the view going back down (yay!!...I was so glad to be done!) haha

Presenting....US!!! :)

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!We heard that some of you wanted to see more of Dave and me. Here you go!! ;) We worked really hard on this routine.

square dance anyone?

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!Haha

Waiting on the World to Change

Since you all know I'm obsessed (haha) with John Mayer, I thought I'd share these videos with you.
The first is done in Sign Language. I've always loved sign and have been really interested in it...it all goes back to a talent show I watched once when I was young and there was a girl in a white dress and she signed to one of James Taylor's songs (You've got a Friend, I think it was). Anyway, random memories are fun. haha. The second video is one I just came across and I was impressed with it too. There has been a lot of hype about JM's song, Waiting... and how he must be telling people to just wait and not do anything to change the problems in the world. I don't feel like that's what he's saying at all...hold it right there!!, I'm not looking to debate. ;) So, the second one was done by a church in Naperville, Illinois and it's a nice message.
ta ta for now! ;)

I enjoyed both of these videos. I hope you do too.

The Logan, Utah LDS Temple

Everytime I drive through Logan (once every few years), I take a picture of the temple. I was in Utah this past June and took yet another picture....Dave teased me that I keep taking the same shot of the temple. I hadn't ever thought of that; and he's right. But I will continue to do it anyway!!....so one day when my memory is completely shot, at least I'll be able to remember all the times I was there. ;)

A good one

I was just looking through some of my pictures and saw this one of my mom and dad. I really like it. They are in Russia on a mission and I miss them. Write soon, Mom and Dad!! :)
love, Rachel

Super Powers

HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I thought I was the only one with super powers. hmmmm ??? ;)

OH Boy, I've Got Joy!

Here's a video of Sage and her Joyschool classmates singing at their graduation in May 2007. I have never uploaded one of our own home videos to the web so we'll see how this goes! :) Oh and I didn't edit it at all...I'll just consider it a success to get it posted! Editing can come for future videos!!
