My Little Tornado

Jimmy was a little tornado today.  He was determined to make the house as messy as possible.  He started out the day shredding a whole role of paper towels while I was in the bathroom.  Then scattered his cereal all over the floor.
While I was on the phone with the neighbor he found one of [...]

Trip to Nicaragua

Most of last week was spent in Nicaragua.  It was very nice.  The boarder crossing was a lot easier then last time (it was a nightmare last time).  The weather was nice, it’s usually really hot there but it was a little overcast the whole time cooling things off.  We didn’t even get pink let [...]

Update

We signed the contract for the other half of the house on Wednesday.  We’re having our neighbor paint it for us while we’re gone to Nicaragua this week.  It’s so nice to not have people living in the other side!
Peter just hurt his toe and cried a little then he grabbed his foot and started [...]

"I need a hot dog"

Last night about 20 minutes after I put Jimmy to bed I hear him knocking on the door, “Mommy, mommy…”  When I opened his door I squatted down and asked him, “what do you need?”  He whispers to me “Um…Mommy…I need a hot dog” to clarify what he needed I repeated, “you need a hot [...]

ABC's and 123's

This morning when I was changing Jimmy’s diaper he counted from 1-10 and also A-Z.  He actually missed a few letters but went all the way through.  I was a little stunned, this is the first time he’s done that.
He’s also added a few words to his vocabulary.  The funniest ones are “oh gosh!” and [...]

Peter is 19 Months Old

In this picture I think he looks a lot like Aunt Jen (My Sister) when she was this age.

Look how big he is!!  He might as well be 10 years old!  Okay, so maybe he’s not that tall.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father’s Day!  James looked hot today at church in his new pants and picture tie that he got for Father’s Day.
Today James was finally sustained and set apart as the Branch Secretary.   He’s been doing the calling for about three months now.  Maybe he’ll even get a manual before he’s released.  Things often move [...]

I Found You

On Sunday at church Jimmy picked one of the dandy lions and starts yelling at it “Mayor? Mayor! I found you!”  It was so hilarious! I made my stomach hurt from laughing.
Today he did the same thing to a close pin and was “talking” to the Mayor for a few hours.

Playin' On The "Other Side"

We rent the front half of a duplex and the people in the other side moved out!!  They were always really loud and rude.  They seemed to be loudest during the boys nap and right after we got home from church.  Anyway, the landlord kicked them out and asked us if we wanted to rent [...]

Busy Week

It’s been a busy week.  It’s been so busy I can’t even remember all the things we did this week.  For example Wednesday is gone, I can’t remember for the life of me what we did on Wednesday.
On Monday (June 2nd) we went to the Rawlings Baseball factory and tried to buy some baseballs but [...]

Face Painting

Today we got bored and the boys needed a bath so I thought we’d get dirty in a fun way before putting them in the tub.

Peter wasn’t too excited that I had colored his forehead.
Jimmy and I had fun though.

"Bleth You"

This morning when I was fixing my hair I coughed pretty loud. Then I hear Jimmy’s little voice from his room say “bleth (bless) you”, “you okay? Mommy, you okay, bleth you” It was so cute!

Cotton

This morning James opened up a bottle of vitamins which of course had a huge piece of cotton at the top. A few minutes later Jimmy came into the room and decided that it was another bunny (we have a real bunny in the yard).
He and Peter took turns carrying that “bunny” around all [...]

Haircut, Fun Park and Peter Fake Crying

This week we ate some Australian/American food. We went to Outback steak house. A friend of ours is going to have a baby soon and we were hoping to get things moving. That night James and I had a hard time sleeping because we were so full, also because we’re not used to [...]
