Walking & Fair Fun Footage!

Yes! We finally have a film of MaryKate walking. She gets better everyday! So sit back & enjoy her wobbly, wide, stumbling steps.
(FYI- The video seems to work in Internet Explorer but not on my Mozilla.)


My favorite quote about first steps:
"Make up your mind to be happy- even when you don't have money, even when you don't have a clear complexion, even when you don't have the Nobel Peace Prize. Some of the happiest people I know have none of these things the world insists are necessary for satisfaction and joy. Why are they happy?... They glory in the beauty of the earth. They glory in the love of their families, the stumbling steps of a toddler, the wise and tender smile of the elderly... One thing I know for certain: the time we have here goes by far too quickly. Don't waste any more time sitting on the bench watching life pass you by. "
-Joseph B. Worthlin (May 2001, 35)


We also went to the Utah State Fair this month. Here are some of the highlights:


MaryKate was scared to touch the animals but she was so curious she just had to!

After eating over priced terrible foods like funnel cake & looking at amazing art, vegetables, etc. we then went to the free "Boys II Men" concert. James got a 2nd row ticket, but it was too loud for MK, so we stood back on the bleachers.

She loved to dance & seriously loved her first concert! She couldn't stop clapping & smiling.

You can tell, she loves her Daddy. DaDa is the word she says night & day!

The fair wore her out and I'll be honest... I think it wore us out too! But it was so fun!

First of all I must say, I love your shirt. Wherever did you get it?? :) A la wardrobe Lindsay? I have a few a la Kathy items that I wear frequently as well. I am glad that shirt is getting some good use. It was too short for my overlong torso!
Yeah for walkers. Good job for putting real shoes on MK, I have only put the soft one's on Ada. I need to start practicing. She is getting to be quite the walker. TOo dang adorable. Thanks for putting that quote up. I remember that one and even have a copy that you gave to me. Love you girl. Your daughter is too die for!!! Happy conference.
