Meet Lindsay Israelsen

I love my nieces and nephews.  I get so excited when a sibling announces that they are having a baby.  I get even more excited when that baby arrives!

Lindsay arrived March 19th.  Uncle Steve, Aunt Neener, Alex, and I visited her later that week.  She is so beautiful.  I lover her so much!

17 Miracles

I was excited for this movie.  I even teared up at the previews.  So, when Janeen and I wanted to watch a good church movie while I was staying in Rexburg, I jumped on the chance to watch it.  The roomates joined us naturally, so we popped up some popcorn and grabbed a roll of toilet paper for my tears.  As the movie progressed, one roomate would interupt with questions, such as, "Whose that?" "What are they doing?" and my favorite "How much do you think the midget weights?"  From there, I knew that there would be no tears.  Instead, I giggled everytime the roomate opened her mouth.  I thought it was going to be spiritual, but in wasn't.  Two weeks ago, Steve and I watched it again, and I finally got the results I expected.

Big Bikes, Little Bikes, Red Bikes, Blue Bikes

We all gathered to Spring Valley for Tesa's blessing. 

Bikes were everywhere.  It was very fun.

Leaping for Leap Day!

Steve is good to me.  He puts up with my crazies.

 I had the crazy idea to take pictures of us leaping on Leap Day.  I want to do this for the rest of our lives (or until we are too old to leap).  I thought it would be fun to see how much our family will change every four years. 
Keep in mind that Steve's knee is in bad shape.  Again, he is good to me.
I also made Steve sit down with me to write down where we were four years ago, the present, and where we think we will be in four years.  It was Steve's bedtime.  He is good to me.

Post Race

Yep, it's disgusting.  His knee swelled up and was bruised to a nice shade of purple.  The road rash is nothing compared to how his muscle felt underneath his skin.  Currently (a few months later), there is a slight knot above his knee.  Last night he asked, "Is it normal for my knee to be numb?"

It's a Race!

Steve loves his motorcycle.  And he loves his brother Matt.  He loves riding his motorcycle next to Matt when he is riding his motorcycle.  So, that is what they did in February down in St. George.  It was beautiful weather, especially after the winter season.  They were able to practice all day on Friday, then Saturday, we all showed up to watch them ride.  The first race they both did good, then the 2nd race, Steven got in a minor crash and his bike couldn't function properly.   His knee was the only body part that was sore.  Even though Steve crashed, I think he had a fun weekend.
