We have a TOOTH!!

Natalie has a tooth anyway. It popped it's way through last night, and I found her first pearly white this morning as she was eating....let the biting begin. :( Natalie has also started eating baby food. She kept grabbing at my plate, so I figured she was ready to eat.

Last Thursday Cody was able to participate in his first ever parade. He rode on the float for our ward primary in the Pioneer Day Parade. Sorry the pics aren't any closer, but I was taking them one handed and holding Natalie at the same time. She kept grabbing the camera too, so half of the decent ones came out blurry because she pulled it away. Cody is the second one away from the big white sign. He is wearing the black hat.

A SNAKE!!!!

A foam snake that is. :) Today yielded itself to another craft project. I found the idea here. I got to work making the complicated blowing contraption while the boys were wrestling in the front room. I couldn't for the life of me find any rubber bands at my house, so I improvised with string. It worked ok, but rubber bands would be better. Anyway, Cody loved it. Jacob, not so much. I think Jacob is a little too young to understand the concept of not sucking into the bottle. He inhaled a lot of foam bubbles. :( Anyway, here are some pictures of our fun today.

Here Fishy, Fishy

Well, I got creative today and decided to let the boys try a craft project while Natalie was sleeping. I got the idea from here. The boys seemed to enjoy it. Didn't take up as much time as I had hoped, but that is okay. My boys aren't big on coloring, and that is just fine with me.

One Week Later

Well, I had every intention on writing every Tuesday, but that didn't seem to happen. We had a wonderful 4th of July up in Parowan with my parents and some of my siblings. It is so fun to get together (most of the time :P ). We set off fireworks in the middle of the street, and the kids thought it was the best thing. Granted, most of my nieces and nephews are from Arizona, where it is illegal to buy fireworks, and set them off yourself, but it was fun nonetheless.

We also had the opportunity to get our family pictures taken finally. My sister-in-law is a budding photographer (Andrea Whittle Photography), and she was excellent! Check out her blog in the next few days for some of our pics. The boys were mainly good, but they were goofballs at the same time. Only one minor accident, and everyone involved was satisfied with a cookie and a bandaid. :)

My New Blog

Well, we will see how long I keep this up. :) I am creating this blog for all of our family and friends to be able to share with us the things that our family does. Since most of our family don't live near us, I thought this would be a good idea. Also, I love showing off my kidlets, so what better place to do it right?
