Fun with paper towels

Ashley emailed these pictures to me and they were just so cute that I had to hijack & post them. :)

Day 2 with COUSINS!

After the cousins went to church & visited with Grandma and Grandpa we met up with them at Nonnie & Papa's.

John and Anna were checking out some crazy people who were out on jet skis.


Ava and Eliana had fun hanging out.







After dinner, the kids enjoyed some popcorn while watching Alvin and the Chipmunks.


By the time we made it home tonight, both kids were passed out in the car. Eliana had pulled her socks off and had one hanging out of her mouth.

COUSINS!!!!

Paul, Julia & the girls made it to Fairbanks! John is very happy they are here (along with the rest of the family). :)





Bubbles!

More snow

Julia - just go ahead and bring your winter gear.



Seriously - our driveway was completely dry yesterday and this morning.... we wake up to THIS!!

Happy Birthday Papa

John and Malakai shared a good laugh in the rocker.



Eliana enjoyed an ice cream cone.





She also enjoyed playing with Aunt Michelle's necklaces.



Papa and Nonnie - reading birthday cards.

Fundraiser Fun

We went to a fundraiser today for "Open Arms" daycare. Papa was there and he had a cement truck full of candy!!







John wanted to drive.


He loved the fire truck!


And the motorcycle.


Eliana just tried to stay warm (note the red nose :).


Then John and Daddy checked out the race cars.


I don't know who was more excited.


Wait, yes I do. :)

Climber McGee

Eliana has a new skill. She can climb up onto the green Ikea chairs. Please don't mind her crazy hair. Once she realizes there is a rubber band in her hair.... out it goes.







John has a hobby. He enjoys writing his name on and with anything he finds. Today at lunch he took the opportunity to write his name with rotini. He cracks me up.

Delicious Meaty Midnight Snack

I stopped by to see my sister tonight after I made a late night run to Safeway. She loaded me up with some DELICIOUS Korean ribs my dad made for dinner.

This is what was left after my son, husband, and I devoured them.


Here is my little man, with a fresh new haircut, enjoying a rib.


THANKS DAD!!!!

2 Silly Kiddos

John is such a goof. When he gets in front of the camera he likes to make crazy faces.







Eliana loves this toy. She really likes it when she tilts it toward her face and all of the air blows in her face.

John II

Some days I look at him and wonder where the time went. He is getting so big and he is starting kindergarten this fall...... I can't believe it!!

He is such a blessing and I enjoy learning something new about him every day. :)

Heat Wave!

I left the house today wearing a light jacket and as soon as I got to the gas station, I ditched it. It was sooooooo nice today. I felt like sharing that bit of information. I actually saw 60 degrees on one bank sign. Woo hoo!!

According to weather.com it is going to be 58 tomorrow. YAY!!! Now, if only the snow would disappear a little quicker. :) I'm tired of stepping in puddles of slushy snow.
