Laughs, Giggles, and...Jibbies?

Our Little Artists

This one of a kind collection can be yours for the small price of one night of babysitting...no seriously...PLEASE?

Givin' Props

A friend of ours has started her own business selling infant/toddler belts, and we HAD to buy one for Than. Not surprisingly, he has turned out to be quite the little model.

Christmas

So, Christmas was wonderful! Two weeks of vacation and FAMILY, FAMILY, FAMILY!
Christmas presents:
Emi got a noisy hammer that she loved.

But as soon as she saw the 'yogurt melts' in her stocking she dropped the hammer immediately and started to reach and drool for them.






Than got a Buzz Lightyear and took/threw it everywhere.


I got a beautiful necklace and earrings from Jim that he got through National Geographic which went to support local craftsmen in Indonesia and India to keep their craft--that's been handed down through generations--preserved. Have I mentioned how much I love my husband and how thoughtful he is.







Now posting this makes me feel bad because, I only got Jim the game 'Scattergories.' He really likes it and he's been wanting a way to work on being more creative.

"New Gymboree"

While on vacation we went to a place with a whole bunch of trampolines and blow-up slides. Before we went we tried to explain to Than what the place was like so we called it the "New Gymboree." The last night there he got to go with his cousin Rachel--who adored him--and they got to be best friends. Emi liked it too, she was laughing just watching everyone. (She does a lot of laughing.)

Sledding

So, it was almost below freezing in Idaho and we decided to take the kids sledding. Than got cold really fast so we only got to sled for about 10 minutes. Emi loved and couldn't stop laughing!

Cat

We <3 Fish! (That's the cats name.)

Bowling

Than went bowling for the first time last week and it was great! He actually got a strike!





Grandma even taught him how to 'granny' bowl--oh the irony.

Amazingly, Than bowled better than almost EVERYONE--his cousins (85, 75, & 87), aunt Trina(94), Grandma(76), and his MOM(98)--with a 104! The only one he didn't beat was his Dad(117)!

Boy Does This Make Me Feel Bad

We're in a long line at the pharmacy at Costco and I gave Than the camera to entertain himself and this is what he saw:



As you can tell, as a family, we're not big on waiting in lines.
