For Christmas, I made my very first batch of tamales for Mark to keep in the freezer at work. We had his brother also to get a gift for so he also got a batch.

A little cramp in our New Year's Holiday:
A 16-year-old driver turned left out of a gas station and Ooops! There was a car coming. Our car to be more specific. Doesn't look too bad, but it's totaled. We are still looking for a replacement. Good thing we didn't cancel that rental car reimbursement on our insurance like we talked about a few weeks ago.... Oh, and Cookies and Cream milkshakes to make everyone feel better about the whole thing.
This last week our niece Iris was in town while my sister and her husband were on their honeymoon. Dallin loves Iris and had such a great time having her spend the night and hang out with him so much. They even got to sleep in the Star Wars tent THREE times!
We found a great, kid-friendly "hike" to take the kids on at Usery Pass. It's one mile long with a park halfway through, stroller-friendly, and perfect for little kids. Even 2-year-old Adam walked most of the way.
On backs: backpacks for holding water. In hand: a container for catching lizards.
Do I like it or not like it that at only 12 weeks I'm already starting to show? Hmmmm...watch out.
Yesterday, after going out to lunch with Amanda, David, and Iris, and saying goodbye as they left for Texas, we were driving home and Dallin saw a moving truck next to us. He asked me what kind of truck it was and I told him it was a moving truck and reminded him about when we moved and rented one. He then said something like this:
"When this house gets old, can we get one of those moving trucks and drive it to Texas and get a house in Texas? Because then we can know where Iris lives."
The End.

What day were you on the Merkle trail? We hiked it on my birthday and decided to try the trail right down the middle and over the top. It was challenging for them but so fun!
