Look mom & dad, I have a tongue!

These are some REALLY cute photos of Joshu-uh.

Fishing in the Backyard

Dad and Mikayla enjoyed digging dad's fishing stuff out of the closet (finally) and tuning it up a little for the summer. Mikayla really enjoyed reeling in plastic flashlight that dad was using to cast. We began to use the phrase, "reel that sucker" when it was time for her to do her part in the tune-up, which she thoroughly enjoyed.

More of Mikayla holding Josh

Fun in the Hammock

Mikayla and a few of her friends haning out in the hammock on Friday evening. We couldn't resist getting a couple of pictures of Josh in the hammock as well. His eyes are the same color as the hammock.

At the Raleigh Temple

The Stake had an activity day at the temple for Primary children last Saturday. We took Mikayla and had a really good time.

Mikayla Holding Josh & Reading to Him

She really loves to try to pick him up these days. Most of the time when she actually gets him off of the ground, she proceeds to drop him...but he doesn't seem to mind too much.

Not sure what she's doing here...

Now you know why we call her Jose Loco-beans.

SSSHHHH, He's Sleeping.

Did we mention Joshua likes to sleep?

It's Bono (you know, from U2)

Nice Glasses Mikayla...

Easter

Here are a few photos of Mikayla coloring and hunting Easter eggs this year.

Spring Break 2005

Curty & Crystal and Josh & Lindy came to visit for Spring Break. They were welcome company and we had a great time. We didn't take many pictures with our camera, but when Curty and Josh send us the photos they took, we'll post them also.

Mikayla & McKenzie Alder, a good friend

McKenzie is the daughter of one of the Med School students in our ward.

Cute sayings and doings....

Wed - Feb 22, 2012

*Lynneah was eating a cookie, I asked her to stay in the kitchen to do so. She sat on the border between the kitchen and the living room with her feet on the LR floor and told me "my mouth is in the kitchen, my hand is in the kitchen, my finger is in the kitchen, my feet are not in the kitchen, my tookie is in the kitchen.." and she went on and on. :)

Thurs - April 22

* While vacuming this evening, I heard the boys upstairs, having a great time "getting ready for bed". I went up to check and found that they'd opened their window, broke the screen enough to throw cars and animals out the window onto the roof! At least they weren't out on the roof! Count my blessings, right! :) And Lynneah was in hysterics when I got on the roof to retrieve said toys - the girl loves me, what can I say - she was very concerned about just where her mommy was!

* Mikayla and I are reading the 39 clues books. She and I are racing to see who can finish book 4 first...kinda hard though when she got the book from her library at school - she has first dibbs! Alas, I might be beaten again!

Sat - April 10

* Nano has been catching on to very random things and thinking they are so funny. The thing I love is when he laughs, his eyes light up and he's just so cute and pleased with himself. Yesterday he was laughing in the middle of Josh's prayer. Josh said "Bless that we could have a good day". Nano afterwards, "Josh said 'Bless that wicked day'". Priceless!

* Watching Josh play checkers with Merrill and him saying, "I'm gonna rock at this game" and "I'm a rock star and this game" . And when he can't get anyone to play with him, he'll play with his imaginary friend - he always wins those ones.

Sun - April 4

* Neah has slept through the night a total of 5 nights in her 19 months of life! I think we might be on a roll!

*Mikayla was awesome during conference. She took notes during every speaker! She paid attention way better than me.

Wed - March 17

* Watching Josh, Nano and Mikayla make their own jungle gym out of the backyard swing set. They go from see-say to baby swing to rings to normal swing to a-frame to ground and run around again to the see-saw. Each has their own way of doing it and each way is awesome! Plus they were out there entertaining themselves for a good hour with it! :)

Tues - Jan12

*Josh at playgroup today, leading the kids in aerobics and yoga. Priceless!

*Lynneah has started running and her little waddle is awesome!

*Mikayla running to meet me as she gets off the bus, sometimes I'm not late. ;)

Mon - Jan 11

*Nano watching Dora. He gets into it these days and loves to repeat their phrases along with them - VERY LOUDLY. After his 6:00 am hot chocolate fix, watching that and trying so hard to repeat the phrases quietly so he doesn't wake everyone else....sweet boy!
