Grandma

 

In March we were able to attend the funeral of my Great Aunt Marsha.  I have only met her a handful of times in my life, but she certainly knew who I was.  She would call me every year on my birthday. After I was married, she not only called me, but Cory and the boys on their birthday as well.  I thought the funeral was pretty special, and I was sooo grateful I was able to attend.  While we were there, we were able to see Grandma Marie.  We don't see her too often.  I loved taking pictures with her and holding her hand.  I love her smile and the brightness in her eyes.

First loose tooth

I guess our boy is a little late at loosing teeth, but he finally lost his first tooth.  It was sooo funny because he came up with the idea to tie a string around it and pull it out.  We tried thread, then yarn, and finally Cory came up with the brilliant idea of dental floss.  After tying it on the tooth and a little yank, the tooth flew right out.  Yeah.  Tyler has now lost two teeth.  He loves the gold coins the tooth fairy brings too!!!!

Silly boy

Our silly Tyler.  He is such an awesome kid and makes me laugh in so many ways.  One day I noticed it was quiet....a little too quiet.  I started checking around at the boys....I peeked in the bathroom and this is what Tyler had done with all the toilet paper I had just bought.  Too funny.

Jason's tubes and adenoids

 

Okay, so I know I haven't done this blogging thing for awhile.  But, I needed to do a bit of catch up.  A few months ago Jason was able to get tubes in his ears.  He was getting so many ear infections.  Yeah.  His ears aren't so bad now...he also got his adenoids removed.  I thought it would really clear up his nose problems.  But, they are still there...not to the extent they were, but sometimes he does have a pretty nasty nose.  TMI, I know.

 

Update: Jason didn't have his adenoids out, since the doctor didn't see any problem with them specifically – hopefully that doesn't turn out to be a mistake.

I can crochet

I have been a slow learner when it comes to crocheted. I learned how to make hats a few years ago, and just this winter, I have learned how to make booties. Ohhhh the joy of baby booties. It has been so much fun. I love them so much. I still have to add buttons to the ones in the picture, but I am proud of myself for learning quite a few new stitches. What a perfect gift to give to someone. I already have a handful of sets ready to go.

What is that?

The boys were watching a show when this picture popped up. Tyler looks at me with a puzzled look on his face. He looked so confused....then he asked me what that was. It made me laugh.

And, if you don't know what it is either...it is a telephone.

Hair cuts

I don't know why, but these pictures make me laugh. It's probably because Cory spiked their hair and the clip to hold the towel...funny. I am so grateful that Cory is able to cut the boys hair. It has saved us so much money. I think he has cut his own hair for over the last 10 years, so he is very experienced. It still makes me nervous when Cory asks for help trimming his hair. I just don't know if I can do it.

Playing at the park

As I mentioned in another post, the weather here has been crazy. There hasn't been much snow at all. There are a few days where it has been warm enough to go to the park. I think on this day it was 32 degrees out. That's warm...right? The kids love the change and love being able to play outside. Cory and I tend to freeze while we watch them play. But, it is well worth the joy they get from going to the playground.

New favorite book.....

Oh dear me....as I have been organizing the house, Tyler stumbled upon this lovely book. I didn't realize what it was at first. I had to go through it and take out a few pages before he could have it back. He loves to look at pictures x-rays, bones, skulls, and anything else related to the human body. He has found this book fascinating and will ask us questions about the pictures and try to figure out things by himself. He is such a smart little boy.

Winter

This has been a very odd winter here in Idaho. There has been hardly any snow but it's been cold. We can't go to a playground because of the cold, and we can't go sledding because there is no snow. The boys do love to go "swimming" in the tub though. We get all of our beach toys and throw them in the tub. The boys will play in there for hours if I let them. They are super excited to go to the beach this summer and keep asking when we are going. This will just have to do for now.
