Valentine's Day

Bryan ordered flowers for me. I loved them. We got to watch the tulips bloom, I love tulips. I ordered the BYU Football dvd for Bryan. Normally I don't encourage the football obsession but to show my love for Bryan, I gave in and got him the dvd.


*I decided to blog about it so that next football season when I am feeling neglected, I can look back I remember that I encouraged it. And who knows when we can give each other actual gifts again.*

Austin's Laundry Basket

I was in the other room, I heard Austin crying (more like whining), so I went to investigate. He was laying in the laundry basket but as soon as he saw the camera, he decided he would smile.
He is saying "cheese" in the first picture. He loves this laundry basket so much that he will empty out and push it around the house and if Adam tries to put something (including himself) inside Austin throws a fit. It is quite entertaining to watch him try to squeeze through chairs, couches, people, doorways (it is a large basket so it really does have to squeeze). He will fight anyone including me for the basket. He has been sick since Saturday night so I needed to post about him when he had more energy and made me smile (instead of sick to my stomach from cleaning up vomit and diarrhea). I can't wait until he feels better.

Adam's Train Underwear

Adam posed for these pictures. He was so proud of his trains. Wearing the underwear lasted 2 days but he decided that he likes diapers better. After we move I will try harder to convince him that the potty is his friend.

This is the third pair of underwear on day 1. But again he is so proud of the train underwear, I just wish he would be so proud about going in the potty. He just WANTS to go in a diaper.

Valentines

These are a few of the valentines that Adam made on Monday. He really enjoys making them and is really quite good at it. I guide him (by putting everything in stacks on the table) and he choses from the stacks. I put the stickies on the back but he takes the paper off the back of the stickies and he sticks the heart or flower or wordstrip on the card. I limit how much he can put on because sometimes he wants everything on it. I like that I get to spend one-on-one time with him and since he always has to share, this is something Austin can't help with yet. Just thought I should post about it so I will remember that I did something crafty with my kids.

Watching TV with Uncle Matt

I think the boys were pretty tired because a few minutes before this Adam was crying. I am not really sure why he was crying but I got them out of the tub and he started crying and kept crying. But then started watching tv with Matt and forgot why he was crying. I love having other people around to get my upset kids away from me. I included the second picture because Austin started doing his pouty face, which I love.

I included this picture because I wanted to show what they were so enthralled with and Ann wanted to see the setup of the new (from early Dec.) tv.

Austi & Con

Austin and Conrad had a great time under the table, while I was trying to get some homework done last week. Everytime I would get the camera out, they would try to get out from under the table. So I would put the camera away, they would get under the table and play really cute together. I think Adam was watching Wallace & Gromit while this was going on (the little boys don't really care about Wallace & Gromit but Adam LOVES it). These were the best pictures.

Karin- The Student

So many of you have been questioning my studying and homework that I mention casually, I am taking an online class to complete my Associate's Degree in Science. If I did not get my Associate's soon I would lose all the classes that I have already taken and when I finally go back to school to get my Bachelor's Degree, I don't want to start from the beginning. It is Nutrition and is more time consuming than I thought. I am so close to finishing this class (it ends on Thursday) , all I need to do is take a few more tests. Then I am free to blog about the cute things that have happened and actually be able to take pictures of them. Wish me luck that I will have the sanity to take the tests and that The Office will not distract me while taking those tests.
