Scary urinals

Much to our excitement, last night Dawson used a public restroom intead of wetting his pants! (Hooray! He's getting it!!) Ryan took him into the Men's Room and after a minute of confusion and gawking at the urinals, Ryan asked Dawson if he wanted to use that. Dawson told him, "Nope, I'll probably fall in." and resorted to a regular toliet. I guess that you'd just have to be there, but it was a cute moment!

Trip to Grandma and Papa's house

The kids and I ran up to Hayden, stayed overnight and ate really good food. This morning we ran over to Spokane Airport and picked up a stray passenger claiming to be my sister! We picked her up, headed back to Hayden, getting lost and backtracked,(kids are such a distraction in the car!) and eventually finding our way back to Hayden. Then after yet another delicious meal, we took a little snooze and then packed up the car and headed back down to our house! Nearly 300 miles later, we're home and my sister is here for the week! So excited to have her here!

Ryanna ADORES her baby doll that she gets to play with at their house! She named her 'Bobetta' and sleeps with her and carries her around everywhere she goes.
I named this baby 'Eric' when I WAS A KID and now my kids are playing with them! Dawson and Eric played together too.

They're precious when they're sleeping and NOT making messes. Dawson playing with toys that I remember playing with when I was a kid.
Carter and Great-Grandma Velta.
Ryanna reading to everyone.

Everyone listening to Ryanna reading in the "Gym."

Aimee and Carter! He was taken with her! (and his binky)

Baby Eric and Baby Carter! They're the same size.
My favorite boys: Dawson, Papa and Carter. (sorry for the blurred picture)


Aimee and the wonderful Grandparents.

Randomness

Ryanna still in her jammies after she woke up one morning. She arose smiling! (Yes, she woke up LOOKING like this! It so isn't fair!)


Not sure what THIS look is for, what's going on in that little brain of his?




My latest splurge! I saved up my pennies and bought Mika. It's a good CD! (not sure why exactly I took a picture of it?? Me neither. The kids love it just as much as I do.)

Carter was smiling and then just HAD to cough right when I snapped this! Hilarious timing.

How we get ready for church...

We shave.




We read Junie B. Jones books.


And we get dressed for Sunbeams, then fight some bad guys with our light saber.


How about you?
