nutritious and delicious

check out this well-balanced meal i made for sunday dinner. i know this isn't a big deal to the rest of you, but whatever--this is pretty good for the old Lol. (chicken was a little dry)

stay tuned

hey everybody...i haven't posted anything for a while. i apologize. i know you're all on the edges of your seats, dying to know what adventures laura is up to. i've been a busy little bee lately, but i shall return to the posting shenanigans in all my glory before too long. xoxo

easily entertained

who knew yarn could be so enthralling? then again, conference was on, and i guess for luke, the decision was easy. :)

Story time with Grammie!

ten minutes later..........luke is still going

free at last!

We turned Luke loose in the halls of Target, and it was like releasing an animal into the wild!

fruit snacks

the world just got one more guardian angel

we attended grandpa ellsworth's funeral today, but it was more like a stake conference! the church was packed from front pew to back row of the gym. its a testament to the amount of influence and love and respect he had, judging by the amount of people. there were tears of course, but the smiles and hugs outweighed those. it was a really nice event. well, the little bit that i got to see. 90% of my time was spent chasing a little wind-up toy around the church. i don't know if Heidi and Dave are slipping energizer batteries into his cereal or what, but holy crud. oh lukey, lukey, with your adorable little coconut head and brown eyes. :) here are some pics and hopefully i can get some videos to download too. xoxo

reunion

Heidi, Dave & Luke are town, and we are loving every minute with them

candid conversation

In classic Stoddard style, all four people are talking at once. Hilarious

finally! got a video to download! this is from the Arts Festival on Mill

...and you really can't tell, but i'm doing my Shaquil O'neal impression, talking about Icy/Hot. i'm retarded...
