Things I love about my kids.....

I of course think my kids are super cute, although Daniel can also be absurdly annoying. But recently I have been more in tuned to my blessings and would like to share why I love my kids.



Daniel
1. I love his enthusiasm for life. He wants to see, touch, and feel everything.
2. I love his ability to love the ridiculous things in life. Such as the plane part at the end of Toy Story 2. Or Dad making a silly noise.
3. I love that if we are in the car and Alice starts fussing he says "It's okay Alice, we're almost there. It's okay Alice no need to cry."
4. I love his "squeeze it" hugs.
5. I love that he loves saying prayers and reading scriptures. In fact about two days ago he said his very first prayer on his own. He remembered to say thank you for things and then blessed Alice. It was amazing.
6. I also love how much he loves my mom. He asks to go to grandma's at least every other day.
7. I love how much he loves music. Although he is very particular about what songs he wants to hear and for us to sing....I hope he always loves good music.
8. I love that he loves to read.
9. I love that he still naps.
10. I love that he loves muenster cheese, pepper on everything, avocado enchiladas, udon noodles with extra soy sauce, and all the other good food that he eats.



Alice
1. I love that she learned how to laugh this week.
2. Much more than with Daniel I love dressing her up, she really is my little 10 lb. doll.
3. I love that she smiles when Daniel sings to her and talks to her.
4. I love that she loves Jason and will look for him until she finds him.
5. I love that for the most part she sleeps from 10 until 5.
6. I love all her hair and that on most days it sticks up everywhere.
7. I love that she loves to play with her toys.
8. I love her long fingers and toes.
9. I love her face when Daniel holds her.
10. I love that soon since we bought a house that she will no longer sleep in my room.

This is also one of Alice's new tricks. She likes to hold the book you read to her.

That was a fun list. Something I should do right now when I want to pull my hair out. LOL. Your kids are cute and reading about Alice makes me think how crazy it is how much kiddos change the first 2 months! It makes me excited - I also hope my child sleeps that long at night soon ;)

What a great tribute to your children. I spent the evening in the ER with Dani (just a cut on her eyelid...) and am also finding myself counting my blessings. Children truly are our greatest joy!
Congrats on the house! When do you move?

Ikea beat the rainy day

My kids love the dirt. They love being outside while I try to plant and do everything in the dirt. Alice rolls in, runs in, and eats the dirt. The grossest thing I have found lately is her with her mouth full of mud and a pebble in her hand and big smiles on her face. To beat that I have found her now three times with dirt in the mouth. Yuck! Today it rained. This has got to be the fifteenth day this month that it rained and my kids could not stand it. So eventually I told the kids to get their shoes (which makes Alice run to the door) and that we were going to IKEA. IKEA is a great way to spend the day. Daniel and Alice played in the kids rooms that were set up and ran through that little hole in the wall they have between two of the rooms. They loved it. One of the rooms had a slide in it which Alice discovered that she loved. Down the slide she went, over and over and over again. Then we came home and the crying and tantrums started up right away again. But for those two...

Nothing like people to ruin your day.

Alright so last week we found out that our condo was put up for sale. Jason looked up the sales price, quickly realized that is was pretty low and we feared for the type of people that would be coming through to view our condo, we were right to fear. Usually I am pretty easy going and try to be accommodating but somethings are unbelievable. So these people put in an offer on our home and then the husband wanted to come check it out so their agent and our agent agreed on a time. We thought, okay they'll be here what like a half hour? So Jason and Daniel went to look at homes for us and I stayed here to watch the show. The husband proceeded to test each outlet to see if it was hot, then he was looking in the attic space, then messing with the fuses and air conditioning. He was the first to show up so we thought, ok, this is going to be alright. Ten to fifteen minutes later someone else knocked on the door. There is this lady with three kids and a pizza box. She mumbled some...

Sitting Up

Alice has begun sitting up. She can sit for about a minute on her own and then for about five minutes supported. Grass is also her new favorite thing and she will grab the blanket that she sits on and move it so that she can grab the grass. She can currently pull of fist fulls of grass with no hesitation. Although she did face plant in the grass and decided that the grass was not where her head should be. Daniel loves raspberries. He loves to run outside and pick raspberries straight from the bushes. Then he loves to run around the yard at grandma's house screaming. Alvin the dog is actually more afraid of Daniel than the other way around. Our house is coming along and hopefully within the month so we can get more settled. Yellowstone was a successful trip and our kids had a blast. Daniel could not see out the binoculars so eventually we just started pointed out animals that he could see on his own which were: buffalo. Good things seeing four million buffalo was exciting...
