Time Out

Little Eliza fell asleep in time out after being there for only just a minute. That really explains a lot.

 Glad she got a little rest, maybe we'll have a happier afternoon.

Peek-a-Boo

 Eliza loves Lucy. She loves to lie by Lucy when she gets a diaper change. Then Eliza continued to play with Lucy. I smiled so big as she played peek-a-boo with Lucy. Lucy, of course didn't quite get it, but Eliza was cracking up. I love how sweetly she plays with Lucy, hope it keeps up.

A Haircut

Tonight, after about 2 years, I finally got a hair cut. It's been a long time coming. I only got about 18 inches cut off. Plenty to donate to Locks of Love.

 It's so nice to finally have it done!

Girl's Reading Night

Tonight Lexie & I got to go to Girl's Reading Night. It was a space theme. It was so much fun!

We started out in the cafeteria & made constellations with pretzels and marshmallows. That was a lot of fun.

Then we headed into the Gym & got to crawl into an inflatable planetarium and learned stories about different constellations. This was Lexie's favorite part. It was really awesome.

Next we went to the Music Room and read some books about space. We read about Neil Armstrong, Pluto, and Mercury. We learned a few new things. And lastly, we headed into the Library and learned about 4 women in flight; Amelia Earhart, Mae Jemison, Sally Ride, and Bessy Coleman. We learned a lot and then we had a quiz about what we learned.
 Lexie really loved it. She thought it was so much fun! I'm glad she let me come with her, because it was a lot of fun.

Lunch Buddies

I love how these 2 are such buddies and cheeses! They love to have the same lunches as each other every single day.

And it's nice they entertain each other well enough because I have this to clean up today. Costumes anyone?

Our Sweet Little Girls

Eliza is really warming up to the idea of having Baby Lucy around. Whenever I change Lucy's diaper, Eliza is right there to snuggle up with her.

Gratefully, Lucy doesn't mind too much.

I just love these little rolls on my baby.

Lexie loves to help me get Lucy ready for church.

She also loves to dance with her to Music & the Spoken Word.

Eliza wanted to give Lucy sweet kisses after Andrew did.

And hold her all by herself. She likes to say, "No, Liza do it."

But when Andrew wanted to hold Liza & have Liza hold Lucy...

Liza wanted nothing to do with it.

We certainly love these sweet little girls of ours (& our cute boys, too!)

Ready For Some Football

Tonight was the big BYU vs. Boise State game. Too bad Rick isn't home or it would have been a bigger deal. The kids were excited to stay up late & watch it & have a football brownie for a treat.

She enjoyed just chillin' & watchin' the kids.

It's too bad the game didn't turn out quite as I would have liked, but it was a game & I think Rick was alright with the ending.

Bookworms

I've been meaning to take a picture of this for about a year. This gril is always walking around with her nose stuck in a book. It is a sight seen here every single day, multiple times a day. She's even so good at it now she can bring me the diapers and wipes without even having to stop reading and walking. She is quite talented.

After I took this picture she told me I should record her walking around in a circle around a book. So we did. The funny part was Eliza who followed suit.

After Eliza landed on the couch I said, "Monkey see, monkey do." And Eliza started saying, "Monkey do." Then as she copied everything Lexie did she kept saying it.

And it was just so fitting that she was wearing one of her "monkey shirts" to do it. The other day, I was on the laptop & Eliza pulled out her little toy laptop & typing just like me. Rick said, "Monkey see, monkey do." That phrase is truly quite fitting for this little monkey of ours.

Another Day of Sleeping Beauties

Woohoo! It's 10:15am & the girls are both sleeping! After last night & the whining from Liza this morning, we all needed this.

Now to move them to their beds without distrubing them...that is the trick.

Boys Reading Night

The Elementary School throws really great Reading Nights for the girls & boys. Tonight was the boy's reading night. Unfortunately, Rick is out of town. Fortunately, I asked one of Joseph's best friend's dad if he would mind having another son for the night. He accepted the challenge for the night happily. I'm so grateful he did because Joseph & his friend Logan (as well as everyone else I'm sure) loved it.

The theme for this year was "The Science of Star Wars". Logan's mom thought the boys should dress up & so here is Joseph in his Jedi robes with his light sabre.

While there they climbed over walls, obstacle course, had some jedi training, made tie fighters, drew characters, and much more!

The night was a real success! And the 3 male teachers at the school, did an awesome job putting it together! Joseph was raving about it all night! This morning he started working on the activity book.

Here are the boys having a fun moment.

Lexie is looking forward to Girls Reading Night next week. Another great fun night is in store for us.

Sleeping Beauties

Being one month is really hard work. This little sleeping beauty took some great naps for me today!

And to add to the surprise, so did this little beauty!

And all of that sleeping really wore Lucy out for tonight. I sure hope she sleeps all night long for me! :)

1 Month

Time certainly is flying around here!
