Little Miss Elsie

Here's a new photo of Little Miss Elsie. She's almost 6 months old now and is playing with toys and bouncing in her Johnny Jump-up. She's a very happy and sweet baby. She naps from about 10am to noon and then again from about 2 pm to 5 or 6pm and then goes to bed at about 8:30 and sleeps until about 7am. Lots of sleep for baby=lots of sleep for mommy :) :) :) No rolling over yet, but I'm sure it won't be long.

Ladybug Snacks

Here's a few photos of Weston with his "ladybug" apple snack. He saw the idea in his Big Backyard magazine that Jack and Elaine (Mike's aunt and uncle) gave him for his birthday. He enjoyed gluing all the raisins and cheerios to the apple with peanut butter and then he enjoyed eating it!

He has also eaten real bugs recently! We were on a picnic the other day and he picked up an ant and ate it! His Papa Craig has been telling him you can eat ants for survival, so he thought he would give it a try :)

Battle at Kruger

This video is long, but worth the time to watch it to the end. Enjoy!

Pinto and his sidekick

This is a photo of "Pinto" and his little sidekick freely roaming our neighborhood. They both belong to some neighbors of ours who seem to think it is okay to just let your pit bull run free. Needless to say, I don't think it's a good idea and neither does the animal control officer. Pinto may not live in this neighborhood much longer ;)

She's definately 2!

I love this photo of Grace running around in Bend. They were so tired of sitting still for pictures that they had to run some energy out for awhile. The shoes she's wearing are shoes that were mine when I was her age.
Grace is definately showing her "2"ness lately. Sometimes I feel at such a loss as to how to respond to the drama and crying. She is so emotional over little things that it is hard for me to be patient with her. I've heard that this is how girls tend to be...I'm sure I did the same to my mom :)

Great Photos

Here's a photo that my brother took of the kids when we were in Bend for Weston's birthday (I'm just now getting around to putting it on the blog). Of course he had to take a ton of photos to get a couple good ones with all three of them looking straight ahead. It was pretty cold outside so he also had to Photoshop Grace's nose so it wasn't bright red :) My brother is pretty talented photographer and has a website displaying all his photos. I will add his link to my blog so others can browse his photos if they'd like. He's in South Korea as a helicopter pilot with the Army right now so you will see several photos of Korea under the "travel" section.

Little Mommy!

Here's Grace enjoying some chocolate pudding and "nursing" her Baby Pat. She loves pretending to be a mommy to her dolls.

Seahawks Fan!

I came downstairs the other day to find Elsie all decked out in Weston's Seahawks helmet. Weston thought he was pretty funny and I must admit she looked pretty cute! At least he didn't try to throw his football at her :)

The other photo is Grace "feeding" Elsie a bottle of water. Grace thought she was so big even though Elsie didn't even drink any of it!
