Talking on the phone

She is in there somewhere

Priya insisted on eating breakfast like this one morning.
I do not know why.
Sometimes I would love to know what she is thinking.

Dress myself day


It was another dress myself day. We have these quite often. Priya really has an opinion about what she wears. I love it. She thinks one item at a time and voila', a masterpiece.

Man she is cute, I am so lucky!

Moab March 2010




Priya is at it again, eating rocks and dirt. Maybe she needs more minerals?

Where's Waldo






It is March, that means all of us Shurtleffs go to Moab for the Moab half marathon. Grandpa bill runs every year and each year one or some of us join him. This year it was Robyn who joined in. It has become a tradition we all look forward to. I started it unknowingly before Matt and I were even dating. Boy that sure was a good idea.

We always get out on a good hike and enjoy the red rocks. Priya spent half the hike in the kid carrier for the first time, in the past she is always in the Moby wrap. She liked the backpack. Mom hiked her up a really really big hill and she kept me going by saying, "giddy up horsey" I sure felt like a pack horse. It was lots of fun.

The whole trip was great. The only thing missing was Grandma Janet. She got sick and had to stay home, bummer, we sure missed her. Even though she didn't come she still sent a bunch of yummy food down for us all. Thanks Janet you are a great mom.





Has anyone found Waldo yet?

Egg lollipop


The creativity and imagination of a child is so fun to be a part of. One day I handed Priya a boiled egg for a snack then I got busy doing dishes. A while later I went to check on Priya. She had her egg on a pretzel. When I asked her what she had she called it her lollipop.

1st Ice Cream Cone




This was a hit. "I ceam cone" is one of Priya's new favorite treats. It took her a long time to get through that little bit of ice cream. It was messy also, Matt says that is how they are supposed to be.

A few words Priya used to describe her ice cream were: very good, yumm, licious (delicious), like it.
