"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Good Work Ben

Ben got a bonus at work, (way to go Ben!!!) and we decided to buy a new camera, well two new cameras with it. We got an actual digital camcorder, so we can stop using our still image camera to take videos, and take longer videos if we want. The second one we got was a DSLR which we have wanted for a long time. It was the Canon Rebel EOS XS. It came with 2 lenses and so far we love it! Here are (quite) a few random pictures of us lately:

Oh, and ps. Happy St. Patrick's Day!














This one's blurry but we still love it:
