I Phones and Moving In

To my many friends who read this blog, here is a sales pitch. My brother in law Jonny and husband Jason and a gifted artist Peter, have released a fun i phone app that is a toddler game. So if you have an i phone or know someone who does, ask them to spend a dollar and enjoy! It is called Shape Tapper. Here is the website.

We did finally move in to what Daniel calls "the dirt house." Then we finally got internet! Both kids are sleeping right now....amazing. Alice is finally in her crib and own room. The house still looks like a pile of boxes and dust but the dishes are done and we have a working laundry room so the rest can just wait. It was an adventure getting in that is for sure. Daniel is still concerned that there is no grass in the yard but what can you do?

Alice is rolling over and scooting. Has anyone seen this? Babies who just scoot? She inches her way while sitting up by putting her arms down and raising her butt and scooting. It never fails that she is either scooting toward Daniel or toward his toys. She is six months already I can't believe it.

Daniel is doing alright though his fear of bears, and anything new is still not going away. He loves to show everyone around the house and points out all the things that are his. The new favorite snack of his is Chex mix. I finally bought a bag from Costco he kept going through it so fast. He is also pretty obsessed with sauces. Everything he eats (except chex) needs a sauce. Kids. They are so weird.

So happy for you to be in your house! Good luck getting unpacked and settled in! It's such a big job. Post some pic of the new house soon.

Oh kids are so weird. Katelyn always wants to dip everything in ranch. And really if it gets her to eat I will keep giving it to her.

Yay for new houses! Just be glad that Daniel is eating at all...Dani is getting pickier and picker--There are only a handful of things I can get her to eat. She literally eats the same thing every day. Awesome.

So excited that Jason finished an app. That's cool. About the scooting, our neighbor did it until he was 20 months old. It was hilarious to watch him scoot down the sidewalk. I bet they went through so many pairs of pants. It's cute. Make sure you get it on camera. We'll have to get together once you get more settled. We'd love to see your new digs. ;)

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...

Marriages

I am combining the prompts from the 4th and 5th. They ask if you have marriage certificates and then stories about how the people met and later became married. I have found a few citations of marriage records but have seen very few, while I am grateful for the indexers who put the information out there I can't wait until they get around to attaching images. Although I guess I can always pay for the actual documents but who wants to do that? Regardless, this is one of my favorite stories. My grandma, LaVon Taysom, was the oldest of a lot of kids. When she was a teenager her parents sent her and two of her sisters to live with their grandparents (Hammers) in Pleasant View, UT. While there, they would attend the local dances and she eventually met Marshall Maycock. Now being proper, as they dated, her sisters went with them as chaperones. Eventually LaVon and Marshall decided to get married. She was only 17 so on their marriage certificate her birthday says 10 Jul 1908!! ...

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...
