10 Bears in the Bed

We all slept in the same bed at Poppy and Nana's house.
This was not posed. She was actually sleeping with her mouth squished into the mattress so much that it was open.

What an angel.
Awwww . . .

CA trip

Sleeping over at a friend's house on the way to Poppy and Nana's.

We stopped in Tehapachi.

A very nice lady befriended my kids.

Bunch of fun videos:

Temple Square

Some gems from our visit to Temple Square:

Here's a fun video of Naomi:

Botanical Garden

A few pics of Naomi at Red Butte Garden. More to come . . .

Dirty words

My little 4 y.o. was sitting in the car yesterday playing with her 7 month old little brother. She would say "bathroom word!" and he would laugh like he knew why that was funny.

Family

This pretty much sums up Adara's time on our family visit. She is constantly surrounded by cousins. I hardly ever see her.

Everyone is still in p.j.'s because everyone was sick:

We were invited to Sunday dinner at a sister's house. Right when we came in, her 15-year-old son was the first to take Keenan out of my arms and snuggle him.

The cousins at the dinner table.

Naomi eating a creamsicle.

Wanted to document the Uncle and his sister.

Keenan in a paint ball helmet.

I like the picture of Jesus on the wall, witnessing the exclamations of "Shoot him! Yeah!"

I love this dress in this setting. It looks like she should be in a log cabin in front of a cook fire instead of a microwave.

With the camera strapped over my neck and arm, Naomi started taking pictures. This one actually worked pretty well, I thought.

Since I didn't get pictures of Adara at the dinner family gathering, I got one of her when we came home. She is holding her youngest cousin. (Though hopefully it this cousin will not be the youngest for much longer.)

Toddler Service

Today I witnessed, for the first time, in the purity of a child, the phenomenon of people preferring to give service rather than receive it.

We are visiting my sister and her family this week. This morning, Naomi was hungry, but when I told her to go ask her uncle in the kitchen for some food, she would not go. But as soon as I saw a dirty dish that needed to be washed, she immediately jumped off of the couch and gave it to Uncle Cody. Who knew that such an attitude is inherent rather than learned?
