Brotherly Love

These 2 have started playing together lately... as much playing as a 6 month old and 3 year old can do.

The other day it involved Kenyon setting up the animals and Devin knocking them down. Kenyon would giggle and giggle.

Going on

This kid is walking

This one got his 1st tooth

These 2 started "Summer School" today, taught by yours truly. This week the theme is Magnets. Hoping I can keep it up all summer, but only time will tell.

Big things happening 'round here!

Maya

Tomorrow she graduates from preschool! How did this happen so fast.

These were taken at their Preschool Spring Recital. She was the cutest cowgirl I have seen. This year has been full of lots of acting and singing and she has eaten it up!

Here she is with her friend Destany at a recent park playdate. These two crack me up with their posing. Two girls FULL of personality!

People ask why I am not putting her in all day Kindergarten. As a teacher, I always thought I would, but as a parent, I can't have her gone that long. Besides... who would feed the babies?!

Love you Maya!

Water Time!

The warmer weather is here and we have started swim lessons and water fun in the backyard. Hope they don't get burnt out... we have the LOOOOOOONG summer ahead.

10:00 pm on Saturday night:

Jeremy: "What would you like for Mother's day?" (2 hours before Mother's Day begins)

Me: "Just serve me all day."

10:00 am on Sunday morning:

Jeremy: (As he changes poopy diaper #5 for the morning) "I hate Mother's Day!"

Maya: "I don't know why Dad doesn't like Mother's Day. I wish every day was Mother's Day."

Me too, Maya. Me too. Especially when Maya writes me poems that say, "If you were a berry, I'd pick you."

I think Jeremy is wishing I'd have asked for flowers or something less messy than service.

Happy Mother's Day from one lucky Mama to another!

Today

His Big Brother and Big Sister are constantly mauling him.

I think he secretly loves it.

Speaking of Big... this Big Boy is almost completely potty trained. No accidents (day or night!) for a couple of days and he goes in on his own, without my reminders or help. Let's not talk about how I bribed him with opening a present every time he went and now he thinks he still gets one EVERY TIME! Prayers are answered!

My Clever Kiddos

I asked Maya if she wanted to sleep in my bed since dad is out of town. She said, "I will... if you're good." (October 2008)
We were talking about jobs and Maya says, "Mom, your job is to fold clothes." I asked what her job is. "Watch movies." (October 2008)
Maya said, "Mom, your boobies are getting so big. Good job!" (October 2008)
Maya turned the TV on to PBS and the Charlie Rose show was on (he is a news guy in a suit). Kenyon said, "Dada." Maya said, "Does that look like Daddy? No, can you say prophet?" (October 2008)
Maya said, "Daddy, will you take me to Disneyland tomorrow or next week?" That's my girl - using Love and Logic parenting on her parents! (September 2008)
Kenyon's favorite words right now are "Ya!" and "Wo!" in his deep, deep voice. (September 2008)
Kenyon is always saying, "Beep, beep!" when someone or something is in his way. I think he hears that too much from me! (September 2008)
On our way to the store, Maya said, "Mom, I love to shop with my mother. It is my favorite thing to do!" - Good girl! (September 2008)
Maya constantly yells "Fire in the hole!" or "Watch out below!" (September 2008)
After changing Kenyon's diaper he said, "thank ee" which is his "thank you." My pleasure, baby boy! (September 2008)
"Yikes! Double yikes!" Maya keeps saying this and it cracks us up! (August 2008)
While Maya and Kenyon were playing, Maya says, "Come here baby. It is time for your bedtime and your cuddle. Come here baby." (August 2008)
I was talking on the phone to a friend saying how I was jealous of someone else. A while later Maya said, 'Mom, it's okay to be jealous." This is from her book that says "its okay to talk about your feelings!" :) (June 2008)
Kenyon sneezed and then said "bless you." No, it wasn't clear, but it certainly was bless you in a jumbled way. (June 2008)
Maya keeps saying "I am too busy" or "In three seconds" when I ask her to do something, Where would she ever hear that? :) (June 2008)
After Jeremy put Kenyon is his crib and was walking out the other night, Kenyon said, "Nigh, Nigh." (June 2008)
I had Kenyon give me a kiss the other night. After my wet kiss, he said, 'Bove you!" Melt my heart!! (May 2008)
In order to get down from his high chair, Kenyon must sign "all done." He has realized that another way is to start throwing his food and he prefers to do that and laugh instead! (May 2008)
In every prayer that Maya gives she says, "bless the food and bless that mommy and daddy can stay home, Amen." (May 2008)
Maya constantly tells us "I love you just the way you are!" (May 2008)
Kenyon goes and stands at the top of the stairs and waits until we say "uh-oh" and then he will move away from them. (May 2008)
Maya said to me, "Mommy, when I look up at the sky, I think of you!" :) (April 2008)
The Catholic Pope was on TV. Maya asked, "Is that the Heavenly Father?" (April 2008)
I was reading Maya her bedtime story. Kenyon went and got a book off of the shelf and took it to Jeremy to read to him. Smart boy! (April 2008)
