Sleeping sweetie
The boy fell asleep saying his prayers, when I went in there to tuck him in and kiss him, he said "Amen" mostley in his sleep. It was really quite adorable.

Dinner and Independence!
Baby girl is a bottomless pit these days, and she wants to feed herself everything. For dinner tonight she had two salmon cakes, multiple scoops of rice, a cup and half of steamed broccoli, and applesauce. More than anyone else, including Momma and Daddy. Most of it she managed to eat all by herself. She is growing and learning every day, and we are so proud of her.

Loving Primary
The boy has been a Sunbeam for 3 weeks now, and he got to give the scripture in Sharing Time for the first time today. He was very excited, and repeated it after me. But, he was heartbroken that he didn't get to give a talk. He thought he was going to get to stand up there for much MUCH longer! What a funny kid.

Sharing should never be too hard.
The boy was on a playdate at his little friend's house, and his mom reported to following conversation to me;
My Boy: Can I have one of your trees?
Friend's Mom: Sure, we can make some treats.
My Boy: No, trees. TREES. I want a tree.
Friend's Mom: A...tree?
My Boy: Yes, I want to plant a tree at my house.
Friend's Mom: Oh, honey I don't think it would be very easy to get one of my trees to your house.
My Boy: We should always share. It's never too hard to share.
So, we got the boy two of his very own fruit trees. They are both hybrid, self pollenating. One is plums and the other is cherries. They both have several little green buds on them, so we'll see if they actually give us any fruit. The boy is very excited about them, and we check on them everyday. Repeatedly.

We love the smoothie guy!
We are big fans of the BlendTec and VitaMix demos at Costco. The boy was very excited to watch the smoothie guy today. We stood there for about 30 minutes and sampled everything at least once. Sister was especially fond of the "I'm not allowed to call this a Shrek smoothie." (Spinach, grapes, and pineapple.) She was being super cute in order to earn more smoothies. She had both feet in her mouth at one point, and there was green smoothie ALL over her.

They had a bash, they had a birthday bash!
The boy's bestest little buddy had her birthday party today. It was a Halloween themed birthday party. In January....LOVE it! The kids all dressed up and they went trick or treating, did Halloween games, watched Halloween cartoons. It was awesome. The boy got this Army man costume in November for super cheap. What a fun birthday party idea!

FEED ME!
Baby girl has been eating everything she can get her hands on lately! She got impatient waiting for me to feed her mashed potatoes, so she took the spoon and did it herself. She didn't always get it into her mouth, but she is getting there. She is such a sweet baby, she is so easy going, snuggly, and friendly.

Minion cake
The boy's new favorite movie is "Despicable Me" and he watches it all the time. He doesn't remember the title, so he calls it "my mini-nin." It's pretty cute to see him so excited about the minions. Daddy pointed out that a twinkie looks like a minion, so I got some blue writing frosting gel stuff and made him a minion cake. It was pretty adorable. He didn't want to eat it, but when I convinced him it would be ok, he scarfed it down so quickly that I couldn't even get another picture!

Can you hear me now?
I heard the boy arguing with his friend Lil' E...only she wasn't here. So, I went into the living room to see what the commotion was all about. Apparently, the boy had given her a ring on the old banana phone. She was telling him that he was supposed to be at school and he was telling her that there is no school today. On a side note, we were in Costco and bought a bunch of bananas. The boy insisted on carrying it around and was rocking it, calling it his baby. He said his baby was crying, and was hungry. I asked what banana babies eat, and the boy said "squirrels!" Honestly, I don't know where he gets these things.

When we're helping we're happy!
I plugged in the vacuum today and then went to go check to make sure baby was awake before I started. I hadn't pulled the handle up to make it "adult sized" yet, and I heard it turn on. I came running out and found the boy doing it for me! Up until now he has always been afraid of the vacuum, and covered his ears whenever it was on. He is growing up! He tells me constantly now that "big boys are good helpers." And, he is right!

Baby girl's first cupcake
Baby girl has been eating up a storm. She loves to have what the rest of us are having, especially when what the rest of us are having is a cupcake! She Is such a sweet, perfect girl. Her two bottom teeth are coming in beautifully, and I feel 2 more starting on top. She'll be eating steak in no time!

Two too cool dudes.
We took a family bike ride today, with the boy riding all on his own. Baby sister was all alone in the bike trailer! It was a lot of fun to see the boy looking like such a big boy. Daddy rode along side the boy, I kept getting ahead of them because it's difficult to pull a trailer and ride slowly. But, it gave me a change to look back and see Daddy and the boy together. I can't believe my baby boy is almost 4!
