Oil Paintings- Cardston Alberta Temple

So I finally finished, I still have to varnish the painting, and eventually frame it, but this is a quick preview of what the finished, unframed painting looks like. I'm very proud of it, as this is my first completely original work. Wyatt took the photo, so this is not a copy of someone else's painting.
Unfortunately you can't really see the details, for example the trees have a lot of green highlights that you can't see in the picture, but overall it does give a fair impression of the final work.

Officially in Nursery!!

My Baby is no longer a tiny baby, she is a TODDLER!! Maija turned 18 months old, and this Sunday was her first official full day of nursery! I am very thankful for that program! I hope Maija learns to love her church time. We were a little curious as to how she was doing, so we popped in a few times to check on her (well mostly Wyatt did), it looked as though nursery is going to be great for her! Here is a picture of Maija before church yesterday morning.

Gold Medal!!

I just wanted to send out a HUGE congratulations to Wyatt. He participated on his first Kickboxing/Karate competition today, and not only did he go against fighters that had much more experience, but he actually was awarded a gold medal, when he fought against them! Wyatt you never cease to amaze me!!! You Rock!!

Here is a picture of his first match, all of his opponents were yellow belts, Wyatt is a white belt since his training is in Kickboxing, and not Karate. He later on competed in the men's open match against a brown belt, which I thought was very brave of him, I was worried, those guys were total ninjas!
