We have to show off the super talents of our daughter. Who would ever think that a toddler would be able to whistle?
Eat your heart out Andy Griffith!

It was time for the ward Christmas party and Rebecca asked me to take the pictures again this year.
I’ve been storing up kid artwork for a while, so here’s a post dedicated to our aspiring artists/graphic novelists.
Brooke’s school papers continue to be used (for better or for worse) as her sketch pad:
Holidays bring out her creativity:
She saw our bananas and couldn’t resist giving them a little personality:
And then we have the endless doodles and comics she draws on every scrap of paper she can find:
Caroline isn’t quite as prolific of an artist, but she does do cute drawings as well:
Spencer enjoys drawing also. Here we have a self portrait:
Another child who can’t resist doodling at school:
Spencer went through a phase where he was really into flags. He’d look up pictures of different flags and recreate them in miniature:
Lately Madison has been joining the artistic ranks.
Madison drew this one in church. Her friend Norah is sad, so she’s giving Norah a doll to make her happy:
This princess got caught in a rainstorm and wasn’t happy:
Madison brought this paper home from preschool. I was shocked at the adorableness of that zebra and had to text her preschool teacher to see if Madison actually drew that. Turns out she did draw it all by herself. It’s especially surprising how good her zebra is when you compare it to the other two animal blobs beside it.
One day we played Pictionary as a family. We told Madison she could draw whatever she wanted. The category was “animal.” She drew this:
After guessing every animal we could think of we finally asked Madison what it was. Her response? A giraffe. I continue to chuckle to myself every time I think of her neckless giraffe.
One application that doesn’t get enough use in our house is Photo Booth. Whenever it’s used raucous laughter reigns. I’ve included both the original picture and the Photo Boothed one. It’s up to you to figure out which one is real life…

That’s funny stuff!! I know where Brooke gets her whistling talent from–her Grandma Thomas. I have never learned how to whistle.

P.S. In case anybody couldn’t tell–it was Kim who wrote the above message and not Glen!

Hey, guys, what’s up with a comment from Glen going right through and when I finally figure out how to make a comment using my own name I get “Your comment is awaiting moderation.”??? See if I ever reply again!

That’s funny stuff. I know where Brooke gets her whistling talent–From her DAD’s CELL PHONE!!! That was cute.

Mom–now you know how it feels to be moderated. Let this be a lesson to you.
You were moderated because you’ve never left a comment before (shame on you!) in your own name. The first time you leave a comment, we have to approve it. From now on, we won’t have to so comment away!
Of course, we do reserve the right to delete inappropriate comments, so keep that in mind.

Can you translate what she is saying? That was really cute. It appears I’m going to need to do some video editing so we can move to the top of Abe’s blog list again.

Video editing, Jacob? At this point we would settle for a blog post with one sentence and a picture…if you want to be fancy.
