So, if you were wondering what the Monson family was doing during the month of January, I thought I'd let you know ...

I've had two helpers in the kitchen a lot lately, and this is a picture of pizza night. They each had their own so there wouldn't be any pepperoni fights, and I just thought it was too cute!

Jaimee came to me one day and asked me to draw an octagon on her paper with a picture of a baby and a line through it. I did the octagon but let her draw the baby with a line through it. Then she asked how to spell "No Babies Allowed" and I told her. She then wrote it out all by herself, asked for a piece of tape and hung the sign on her bedroom door. It was meant to keep Brandon out, which is funny because Jaimee sees Brandon as a baby but he does not.

Brian's birthday was this month -- Happy Birthday Hun! -- and Jaimee and Brandon took it upon themselves to plan his party. They picked out gifts, Jaimee made his birthday sign and decorated his cake, she wrapped the presents, and picked out his pinata -- Spongebob. We really had a lot of fun -- who knew Jaimee would already be the best party planner in the family?

Jaimee told me that her primary teacher had nail polish on and it was blue and she wanted some too. I told her I didn't have any blue nail polish, but maybe we could find some at the store next time we were there. Not a half hour later, I come in the room and she has colored her nails -- finger and toe -- with a blue marker. Girls. Seriously.

My sisters, Mom, and I went to Las Vegas for a night to see The Lion King at Mandalay Bay. Amazing show! Fun Girls' trip, but too short. Thanks for playin' Ladies.
