These are all the great-grandkids. Hunter, River, Sariah, Halle, Abby and Hendrix.
My parents came to visit our house for Sariah's birthday. Cam and I had to speak in church that weekend, so it was perfect timing. My mom had to spend the whole time out in the hall, because Sariah kept trying to walk up to the pulpit.
Sariah is toddling around, with only two bottom teeth, saying "Mamama" and "Dada da da." She loves stairs, doggies, bread and being outside. When ever she sees a dog she gets REALLY excited, stomps her feet, bounces up and down, points and says 'oh! oh! dogga! dogga!" She's really starting to understand the things we say and is really interested in learning sign language. She signs light, more, cheese, drink, bird, and hat. Tonight we were having pizza for dinner and River was saying, "It's pizza, Sariah. Pizza. PIZZA!" when, I swear, Sariah opened her mouth and said "Pi ZA." It was so cute! Now Cameron wants to tell people that pizza was her first word! I think she's already said 'doggy' and 'baby', but it's hard to say. Sariah loves to play 'chase' where she leaves the room, even though she knows she's not supposed to, until you chase her and she crawls away faster and faster laughing, until she collapses because she can't go any faster. It's so funny. If you say 'Kiss' she gives you a kiss, if you say "hi five" she'll give you a high five. I love this age!
And River's big acheivement lately: She learned to button her own buttons! She is so happy and proud of herself.
Besides walking and buttoning River and Sariah are starting to play together a bit, which is so sweet and fun. On the other hand they are getting jealous of each other's time with Mom and Dad, so we try to give them both enough attention. I often end up with both of them on my lap, reading two different books at the same time. That way Sariah can flip through the pages as fast as she wants, and River can listen to the story! 
Other projects I've completed recently are a clock and mirror I found at the thrift store. I cleaned up the clock and painted the background and frame black. 
I think it looks much more sleek and modern, and I love how the trees stand out now.
I painted and distressed this mirror for our hallway. I want to put a thin green ribbon around the flower pot. How do you feel about the mirror? Be honest, you won't hurt my feelings! Too turquoise? Is it a weird shape, or do you like it? 
A quick recap of Cameron's birthday. 
After:
On a side note. From the time River was born I've been dreading the phase all little girls seem to go through. The 'princess' phase. Pink, pink, pink. Dressing up. Prancing around... When other girls River's age started playing princess and River wasn't interested, I breathed a secret sigh of relief. However, since River received dress up clothes for her birthday it has hit full force. And it's not so bad, it's actually really sweet. She pretends to be Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella and she's always saying, "Oh! It's so beautiful!" "Isn't that lovely, Mom?" "I just love to color, it's so wonderful!" and today when I gave her an icebreaker mint she said
It's a good thing she still loves bugs, tigers and dinosaurs or I'd really be in trouble. ;)
Our beautiful mustachioed snowman. A mustache looks especially sophisticated when paired with a flower-pot hat. It's the height of snowman fashion.
