B and T video
This is Brooklyn and Talmage recording themselves. Pretty silly.
Silly
The tie from my bathrobe is all it took to make Nic look like the dad on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs – hehe!
Christmas 2010
We had a lovely Christmas at home. We were so happy to have Grandpa Travie, Grandma Nomino, Aunt Anna, and Grandma and Grandpa Great come to share it with us!
Decorating the Tree
Molly Lue Hoo
Brooklyn and Clara Singing "O Christmas Tree."
Christmas Concert
My friend Ali Durham and I are giving our girls, some Mommy-taught lessons. Once a week we get together – She teaches them voice for the first half hour, and I teach them tap for the second half hour. Our families got together on Christmas Eve to watch them perform.
Eden and Brooklyn
Mommy and Daughter tap dance – Snow Miser. The girls did such a great job! I also like Molly dancing with us in the background, Clara drawing on the chalk board, and (of course) my gigantic belly!

BYU Game
We try to take the kids to a BYU game each year. Their favorite parts are seeing Cosmo, cheering, watching the half-time shows, and eating popcorn. Here’s a short little clip of Molly.
A Trip to the Aquarium
Ah…Free admission day at the aquarium. The kids were quite patient waiting to get in (about an hour!). Once inside, we had a great time!
Riding the Giant Frog (Doesn't Brooklyn look thrilled?!)
Clara turns 4!
Our friends, the Flakes arranged for a real, live horsey ride for each of the kids to celebrate Clara’s birthday.
When we first got to the Flake ranch and asked Clara if she was ready for a horsey ride, she said, "No Shanks." When she felt a little braver, she decided to hop on.
Clara requested spaghetti and meatballs for her birthday dinner. We invited her friend Dorothy to join our party.
Talmage made the popcicle fences for Clara's horsey cake.
Yay! Wonder Horse! Clara named her Penny.
Celebrity Look-Alike
I was getting groceries at Smiths when a lady stopped me to tell me that I looked like Tina Fey. Must be the glasses. What do you think?
Thanksgiving in Idaho

More dress-up
We all gathered at Cory and Becky's house for winter fun - sledding, snowmobiling, shooting, and hot chocolate! Molly loved the sled that was just her size.
Welcome Baby Lucas!
Lucas was born October 2, 2010. We took a trip to Burley to be there with the Jones’ to bless their new baby, Lucas. We love you Shiloh, Mark, Garett, and Lucas!
