Happy Thanksgiving 09

entertaining the cousins with "Pictionary Jr"

He's smiling! Yay!

Picnic in Kernsville

Went to Lake Isabella again to be with Grandpa and Grandma Great.

Had a marvelous time with lots of family.

Highlights were 1) being with Brent and Kelia 2) listening to Grandpa Great's mission stories

3) watching the cousins play so well together 4) Eating, of course.

"Who needs sleep" (read the bib)? Let me tell you who needs sleep!

I need sleep.

Honestly, B is doing very well at the sleeping-at-night-thing. He only had a few nights the first month where he wanted to be awake in the middle of the night for hours at a time.

Now, he goes down at ten and will sleep until six in the morning. Ahhhh. So nice. I am such a nicer person when I get my sleep.

Things like THIS happen when I don't get my sleep.

Those are my salt and pepper shakers in the fridge!

Do any of you ever do anything similar to this? ....Probably not.

BTW, don't you love baby shoes?

So I'm trying to blog, but my pictures aren't uploading. Grrrrrrr! How can I possibly blog about how adorable my son is if I can't post a picture?!!! Double Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

Today I asked Maren to do something and she replied:

"Yes man (ma'am), Sawah."

My two-year-old calls me Sarah sometimes. It makes me smile.

Gotta love her phonics!!

Lately Taylor's been into spirals and hearts and cats and colors and shapes and "I love you mom". I get these drawings all the time. I am quite fond of them and usually have at least one hanging on the fridge.

Their life cycle is like this: 1. Taylor creates them 2. gives them to me 3. they go on the fridge for a week 4. and finally, they go in the garbage (OK, AJ, not all of them...I do have a "special box" for the lucky ones). Short (but sweet) lives.
