Teddy Bears and Carousels
On Sunday before going to church, I snapped a few pictures of the kids with their teddy bears. So cute. On Monday, Mark and I took the kids to the zoo. One nice thing about Hogle Zoo being small is that you can visit the entire zoo in a relatively short time, which is perfect for the winter season. We finally convinced Matthew to ride the carousel - he had panicked last May when we first tried. He ended up riding a ladybug and Hannah rode a giraffe. Matthew simply loved it.
The German Festival
On Saturday, Mark got a message from his sister Anna that she was at the German Festival in Ogden. We decided to go check it out; it's always nice to see family. Unfortunately, by the time we arrived, Anna had already left. We went inside anyway, and remembered that Mark and I aren't big fans of festivals. The food was good, but when you add in the admission fee, it was a very expensive dinner. Matthew was fascinated by the band and by a display with a model train. He refused to leave it, and wouldn't even turn round to have our picture taken. I've decided that this year, I want us to do lots of family outings to see all the local points of interest, so I guess I can check off going to a festival.
Exercising with Matthew
Mark would just shake his head that I'm posting this video, but I think it's super cute. This is how Mark has to do all his pushups at the house.
January fun
With the holidays over, I've decided to take it easy in January. We haven't done too much, but I wanted to post some random pictures. After having Jonah here for a week, Miss Hannah has decided that she wants to learn to do all the things he could do. She has learned to clap, sit up, crawl on all fours, pull herself to a stand and climb the stairs. We had purchased new couches, but there was a big mix-up and we received the wrong couches. I had to drive all the way down to Draper to sort it all out, and made a quick stop at Aunt Christine's house (or as Matthew says, Jovi's house - their new dog). Mostly, I've just been spending January reading as much as possible. I also joined a women's indoor soccer team, which is so much fun.

Hut, Hut, Hike!
Matthew playing football. You can't really see it in this video, but when he does his "Hut, Hut, Hike!" he throws the football amazingly well. Doesn't quite spiral, but he throws it perfectly straight.
