Park

We went to the park for a little bit this afternoon when I got home from work.  It was a little chilly but we all bundled up and had a great time together.  Jenna loves this playground, and Andrew is learning to love it!

   

Digging for Gold

About 10 minutes ago...

Me:  "Do you have a boogie in your nose?"
Jenna:  "Yeah."
Me:  "Can I get it out?"
Jenna:  "No, Jenna pick nose."
(Boogie disappears.)
Me:  "Did you get it?"
Jenna:  "Yeah."
Me: "Oh good."
(Boogie reappears...on my leg.)

Good thing Jenna is so cute!!

Smiles

 I put Jenna down for a nap and laid down on the couch for my nap.  Two minutes later Andrew woke up.  He seemed wide awake and ready to play.  Sad as this is, I just pulled the baby toys out of Jenna's closet a couple of days ago so this was the first time Andrew got to play with his toys.  He loved all the little noises and colors on the rattles and animals!  He was smiling and talking so I thought I'd try and catch a few smiling pictures.  (They aren't the greatest because I was trying to balance him on my leg, hold the camera still, hold the toy, make him smile, and take the picture all at the same time.  But I still think they are cute!)

  

Andrew will be 8 weeks old tomorrow.  I can't believe how big he is getting!  We put him on the scale last night and he was about 11.5 pounds.  He smiles and talks and is interested in watching what's going on around him.  He loves all the attention he can get! 

Kitty Love

Oh, how Jenna loves Toxi.  I'm not totally sure the feeling is mutual...

While Toxi is a fairly naughty kitty, he does have some redeeming qualities.  Namely, he tolerates Jenna very well!!  (If only he weren't too lazy and actually got up and moved before Jenna squashed him!)  Irish, on the other hand, only comes out at night!  She may be a naughty kitty too, but at least she is relatively smart.

Cave Run

We went to the Stake picnic today at Cave Run.  It's a little over an hour away, so it's not too far from our house.  Jenna had a great time playing in the water, John enjoyed the sun and playing with Jenna, and Andrew and I relaxed in the shade under the umbrella.  There is a great little beach and swim area here.  The roped off swim area never gets very deep so it's perfect for kids.  A lot of friends from the ward showed up and we had a great time.  Next year we want to camp out the night before and do some hiking and exploring in the morning.  It is such a beautiful place!    

Poor guy...looks like he's burning up!

"I'm flying!"

I think this might be our only family picture...

Bouncy Seat

There has been some confusion as to who belongs in the bouncy seat (and the number of occupants at a given time)...
