For Your Viewing Pleasure

You know what they say about kids and boxes right?

Well, we recently got a box. 

Oh joy!

The kids love to get out the steak knives and work their magic.

This time the box had 2 small windows cut in it to make it 

the perfect little house.

Cole had a friend over and this is how I found them watching Curious George.

All tucked in their little cardboard creation.

Literally hours of enjoyment with that box.

Tomorrow...the recycling bin.

When I Grow Up...

I had a little discussion with Cole tonight.

Cole:  You a Mom huh?

Me: Yes, I'm your Mom.

Cole:  When me get big, me gonna be a Mom.

Me:  No, you won't be a Mom, what will you be?

Cole:  Oh, me gonna be a Dad.

Me:  That's right, you're going to be a Dad just like your Dad.

Cole:  When me get big, is me gonna need a wheelchair?

Me: (stifled laughter) No, because you can walk.

Cole: Yeah, me can walk when me gonna be a Dad.

I love these little bits of insight into my child's thinking.  How innocent he is.  

Honey/Bunny

My Scotty turned 32 yesterday.  Here he is as a wee wart. 

 Isn't he a doll?

  Love those eyebrows. 

He is an amazing man.  Happy Birthday honey.  

And now for the bunny.

We visited Dad and Mom last Saturday and the kids were so excited to see their new bunny.  Here he is with Asher.  Asher loved that bunny like a baby.  He really is an animal lover.  

   

What's up?

Lucky me.  On occasion Scott will comb his hair to the side like he did when he was a little boy.  Those are the lucky days.  I guess Saturday was one of those.  He knows it cracks me up because as much as shaving his head makes him look like a punk, combing his hair to the side makes him look 12!  I captured the moment for all to share in the joy.  

This was Aidan's SECOND idea of where he could put a balloon that would be funny.  Nice muscles eh?

That's right you're seeing correctly, she sucked her thumb.  It's only happened twice, but I'm thinking when she gets the coordination down better, she may be our next thumb sucker. If you'd like to make a deposit into her savings account now for braces please contact me! :)

I just love this bright outfit Molly loaned me out.  I love it for more than one reason however.  1. It's so darn cute and warm.

2. It's been the victim of 2 major blowouts and it has come out unscathed (oxyclean!).  

For Activity Days Chloe went to the church and the Young Women gave the girls "make overs".  They did their hair and nails and such.  Chloe had a lot of fun and she absolutely loved this hair do they did on her.  It was really cute, and I did my best to recreate it for her the next day.  I think she was shocked that I could kind of figure it out.  What a great idea this activity was, she absolutely loved it.  

Thank you

Thank you

Let me start by giving a huge thanks to my friend Kati.  She took these beautiful pictures, and believe me it was not easy!  We have one fussy baby and she cried through nearly every minute of this photo shoot, she never fell asleep for the camera, and she does not like to curl up.  So that makes picture taking difficult. I am so happy to have these, they are priceless.  Thank you, thank you, you are indeed a talented woman!

We also wanted to thank our family and friends who were able to attend Grace's blessing.  It was such a special beautiful day for us, and it was made even better by those who were able to be there and share it with us.  Thank you to those who shared their testimonies.  Thank you to those who helped Scott give Grace her blessing. We love you all.

Scott and Amy
