Santa

We had our ward Christmas party last weekend. Santa always comes to visit. Most of the time kids cry when they see Santa and won't sit on his lap but Ethan saw him and just started laughing and giggling and pointed to him and said "You funny."

Snow Day

I accidentally posted this picture twice and I don't know how to delete it. My new years resolution is to improve my blogging skills. But until then you are just going to have to bear with me.

Little Food Man

Joshua likes it when I make his snacks into people or faces. I made him this snack the other day and about 15 minutes after I gave it to him he was still sitting at the table just looking at it. I said, "Why aren't you eating your snack?" He burst into tears and said, "I just can't eat him, I like him so much and he is my friend." So we made a video and took pictures so we could remember Little Food Man forever. He is a cheese stick body, a cracker head and cherry eyes.

Ok, this video is a little long and very dark quality but it makes me laugh. Let me narrate for you. The kids are getting ready to go out. The door bell rings and it's the first trick-or-treaters of the night. Ethan runs to the door hands out the candy then bursts into tears because we gave away the candy and he didn't get any. After crying on the couch for a bit the door bell rings again, and the same thing happens. He was so disapointed. Then at the very end of the video Joshua starts throwing up again. It's a classic!

Halloween 2008

Joshua was spider man. He started throwing up about 2 hours before we left to go trick-or-treating but still I could not talk him into staying home. I almost had to carry the poor little guy home after we were done.

I thought Sarah was a pink princess but I was later informed the she was "a person from India."

And here is Ethan our little frog prince. He loved this costume. He loved the candy. He got really picky towards the end and if someone handed him a piece of candy he didn't care for he would hand it back and say, "NO, that one." and point to the one he wanted instead.

Heather's wall of shame that she has on her blog letting the world know how often you blog has prompted me to update my own blog, even if it is from the 4th of July. At least now I'm not the worst blogger anymore.

Happy 4th of July

Ok, I know I'm a horrible blogger and a horrible mom because these are the last pictures that I have of my kids. I think I have more on the camera but I need to download them. I will try to remember to take Halloween picture but we have already been to the school carnival and the church trunk or treat and I haven't taken a picture of either of those. This was the 4th of July and Ethan's bithday party. We had family in town and the missionarys over for dinner. It was lots of fun with only a few burnt fingers.

Ethan's New Tricks

Ethan has learned a few new tricks this week that have added to my stress level. He can now climb out of his crib. Which means now I put him to bed, wait at the door till he opens it and put him back in his crib again. Last night we did this five times. Hopefully he will figure this out soon. He can also unlock all the child proof locks we put on all the doors which means now I'm back on potty duty, he loves to flush the potty, unfortunatly he usually fills it up first. His last trick is opening the fridge. So all day he brings me food. It is a good things this kid is sooooo cute and happy all the time, it makes up for all the trouble he gets into.
