Moments at our house

 Just a few random photos

 of little everyday moments that make my heart happy.

Watching Elmo together

Saving a leaky toilet...he saved two leaky toilets!

"Who is this guy and why is he doing this to me?"

First hair trim.

Handsome with a permanent rooster tail

Tug-o-war.

How Steph gets so much done.  Priorities.

Once upon a time there was a Grampa...

  

 Sunday afternoon...the ox was in the mire and really wanted hot water.

Ethnie knows the cupboards are suppose to "rubber-banded" shut...so she's  quick to fix when she finds them not secure.

Christmas prep

Having a Sunday night snack together.

Who makes a mean pot of Chili?

Karl's Chili took the "Hottest but still eatable"  award at our ward Chili cook-off.    I think that is a good thing since they were only giving out 3 awards.
He really tried to mild it down for a more universal crowd appeal....but he couldn't do it.   The man just loves "Hot".   I suggested he   leave out the cayenne and the Louisana hot sauce.   Blasphemy!

But it really is good chili....with a milk chaser.
