New Year

I am working an all nighter.  Fun for me.  So I am contemplating and pondering.  When was the last time you actually started a thought or ponder from beginning to end/  It is something I do now.  My new pondering is this.  What is real?  I know very general, but very deep.  So here are some of my thoughts.  Real can me relative.  Maybe that is my thinking within a metaphysical framework of my of my life and my experience.  A part of the definition of metaphysics is understanding our existence, space and possibilities.  This is also a little science involved.  So for a few days, think about what is real, on a scientific level and give me thoughts.  
Another pondering is, what should each of us do to be good and wise?  This again seems to fall into the, what is relative to you as a person.  What life experiences have taught you.  Ethics is a theory of moral standards.  We each have them.  What do we base this on.  Did you learn some from your upbringing and then build upon that?  The world is so vast and their is so much to learn.  Our morals define what we have become and how we look at the world.  Some of what the world has to offer is amazing and wonderful and then the down side is there is so much terrible out their.
It makes me very grateful for the gospel and family.  Love to all    

This is my better side.  The side that has been richly blessed with Grandcritters.  Baby Jay is soooo fat and cute, a little like his name sake, greatgrandpa Jay.  I will probably still call baby Jay, baby Jay, forever.  I just can't quite bring myself to call him Jay yet.  Jay is my dad, and he is a little stern at time, and well anyway.  I don't care who you are, that is an awesome pic.   

We did celebrate the moment.  Corbyn loved the water and I did also.  I have never meet bodies of water I did not like.

Only a true angel can make an angel.  He is such an awesome little man.  Very smart.  At dinner when we were almost done, Travis would do this little test with him about certain good guys and bad guys in the Book Of Mormon.  He made it interesting for all.  Corbyn always knew the answers to the questions and said the names of the people well.  That is amazing. 

I have always loved the water.  When I see it I must partake.  If you know me, then you know this.  If you do not know, know you do.  Proof.  Has Heather said in her blog, it was cold.  Polar bear cold.  Corbyn, is usually not thrilled with the water so it took us by surprise that he would just run in like he did.  It was awesome cold

We are playing in the water.  Lauren is not afraid of water at all and she just goes running in.  Later whe starts picking up the green kelp and throws it at me.  Brave little girl.

Pre birthday party   fun party hats.  I learned how to make them while I was there.  I know they look a little funny, Lauren did not care.
