All About Me

One of my favorite things to do in my spare time is digital scrapbooking. I have a favorite site that I always go to to get ideas and inspiration for pages. They have started up a new series of "All About Me" pages and the idea is that we always make pages about our kiddos and we are hardly ever on the pages. So the focus is to do some pages on you, because years down the road they will be so fun to look at and remember what you were like too. Well, I just thought I would post the one I made about a month ago about me. You can click on it to make it bigger if you want to read the writing on it. Enjoy!

Jenny Jumperoo

Someone at Ben's work gave us this jumper and I decided to let Elsie try it out yesterday.

I know it will take a few times for her to figure out what to do in it. Her favorite thing about it yesterday was to chew and suck on it.

I put her hair up in a little bow up front instead of to the side like usual and I thought it was really cute. She still had all of her hair sticking up in the back, so that was kinda funny. It looks like she is jumping and really laughing in these pictures, but she really just has her feet up in the air and is having herself a good 'ole time!

We Love Sundays!

Hey guys! We had a great morning at church this morning. It was the first time I have made it through Sunday school without being summoned by the nursery since Elsie was born. The church is focusing on "loving loud" in the month of february so we were challenged to be a humble and compassionate servant. We were also invited to go out to eat with some people from the sunday school class we went to and it was nice to get out and meet/get to know some people our age here (or really any age for that matter!) :) Here are a couple cute pics of the kiddos from this morning. Elsie wore some leg warmers that everyone thought were adorably cute!

Joy and Melt-downs

I love this little girl! She is such a joy to be around!

I love my little guy too. He is in the process of teaching me patience and self-control like I have never know before! :) His two year old personality/independence has hit hard recently. Today we went to Wal-Mart and started off in the produce section at the front of the store. I got a baggie to put some green apples in and a mini-meltdown occurred. I asked him if he wanted a baggie of his own and proceeded to tear another one off and I gave it to him. I then started to open the original baggie and I put the apples in and another mini-meltdown occurred. I asked him what was wrong and he told me he didn't want a baggie. ok, so I took the baggie back. :) Moving on, we headed over to the banana display and I picked up a banana and laid it down on top of the green apples in our cart. Major meltdown occurs. Apparently that is not where the banana was supposed to go. I move the banana to the other side of the cart and the major meltdown continues. Very loud whining and crying. After a heart-to-heart talk with him and the promise of a spanking if this behavior continues (and maybe the promise of a marshmallow when we got in the car) :) we continued on and had a very pleasant shopping experience in wal-mart.
