Tater's Earrings.

Tatum decided she was ready to have her ears repierced.  We had tried once before, but she changed her mind at the last minute, so we haven't talked about it much since.  A couple weeks ago she asked, "If we have time when we're in Utah, can I get my ears pierced?"
We had time on Monday, so we headed to the mall.  She was amazing.  She never faltered. They were pierced one at a time and she barely even flinched.  That is my little Tater.  Once she sets her mind to something, there is no going back.
 

 

 

It's great to be 8!

 

a woodpecker in the house . . .

We heard a LOUD thud on the sliding glass door and when Cambrie went out to see what it was, she found this cute little baby woodpecker. It was pretty stunned so she thought she would bring it inside and hold it for a while.  It wasn't long before it was feeling well and taking off in flight.

Before we knew it, this is where it was.  Clear up on our fireplace rock.  As we tried to figure out how we could get it, he decided to try to fly out through the window, resulting in yet another loud thud.  Fortunately he survived yet another crash.  We took a couple more pictures then sent him off on his way.
