Fun in the Tub

This week Chame' and Roger have been here visiting! The kids have loved having them. One of this weeks activities was fun in the tub! Everyone has to have a naked tub pictures with cousins.

Ice cream party!

The other day the kiddos were having a pretend ice cream party on my bed. When Sam eats an ice cream cone he likes to take bites out of the bottom of the cone first. It always ends up very messy! As we were having our pretend ice cream party Sam even pretends to eat the bottom of the cone first.

I Just Love This Little Lady!

I love this lady! She is such a spunky one! The bath is one of her favorite places! She loves to take baths and showers. I think she would live in the water if she could. She loves to play with her barbie mermaids and her little Ariel and sister mermaids. Every time I get her out of the bath she wants me to wrap her up in her bear towel and carry her like a baby bear down stairs! I love those moments!

Sam's New Face

Sam just started doing this the past couple days. I finally snapped a picture of it!

Valentine's Day

This year was a low key Valentine's Day. We gave Sam some Jelly beans and he thought he had died and gone to heaven. He wouldn't put them down. And we have Abby her own pack of Jelly beans and she was so excited she didn't have to share with Sam. We also gave Abby a heart necklace and she says it looks like Sophia Amulet. My parents had a party for the kids so Stu and I could go out. We ended up trying out Dickey's BBQ. It's our new favorite BBQ spot. The pics are the kids enjoying their jelly beans. Then Abby wanted to take a bath and change out of her reindeer shirt. So that's Abby showing me her moves in a pink shirt with her new necklace.

TV junky!

Sammy boy loves to watch tv. Usually he wants to watch Mimi mow cubhow- Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. But lately he has really gotten into, Tutinton -Chuggington.

Dinner with Grandma Cleo

We had dinner with my grandma Cleo a few weeks ago and I thought it was cute that we all coordinated. I thought we needed a picture. You never know how much longer grandma will be with us. Though she seems to be doing great!

Beautiful Voice

Abby is eating dinner right now (in her swimming suit) and she reminded us that we forgot to say the blessing. She then right away starts praying. After her prayer we told her how happy we were that she remember the prayer and she says, "Yep and my voice was beautiful in that one!"

Quietly playing!

I found these two quietly playing together upstairs. I love when this happens. Abby said it was Sam's idea to play cars. She said he said, "Cah!" So they are playing cars. I love these two so much!

I love having a little boy!

Even though Sam was determined to wear Abby's purple boots today he is such a boy! We were driving to the store today and there was a huge truck in front of us and Sam kept yelling, "guck!" We followed it for quite awhile and he continue to point it out. Then we turned and he fell apart crying, "guck, guck!" While we were at Carter's I bought him some fire truck Jammies. When we got home he pulled them out and held them up to himself and was so excited they had trucks on them. Now we are getting ready for bed and he very willingly put on his guck pjs. Usually I have to chase him down.

Who's Kids Are These...

Stu was on call today so I took the kids to my parents ward. I just didn't feel like doing it alone today. Well, the kids were awesome during church. I had two people tell me how well behaved my kids are. I don't know who's kids I had at church today but I don't think they were mine. ( : Then we got home from church and they both just played by them selves for an hour and a half. It was so nice. Maybe Stu she leave in Sundays more often. Oh ya and this morning Abby got herself dressed shoes on and buckled and got her sweater on all by herself. The last few weeks we have been so late because Abby has thrown a tantrum because she doesn't want to get dressed and getting her shoes on is usually another huge ordeal. I'm just enjoying every minute. Now Sammy is napping and Abby and I are enjoying the new Tinker bell movie.

Guck!

I look over and Sam is like this yelling, "guck, guck!" That's stuck! It's was too funny to not hurry and snap a pic.

Valentines

Abby and I went to the grocery store today and she picked out her valentines. This is the first time she has really cared. I'm so excited I asked if she wanted to make a list of who she was going to give them to. She said no! Guess I'll guess I will do it by myself.

Sam's 15 month Appointment

Well I'm a little slow at writing this post.  Sam is now 16 1/2 months. He is as cute and as busy as can be.  Here are the stats for Sam's 15 month appointment...

Height: 33 inches - 94%
Weight: 27.56 pounds - 86%
Head Circumference: 19.2 inches - 89%

I just can't get enough of this boy!  Where do I start?
Back in December about a week before Christmas Sam suddenly became a total boy.  He became obsessed with trains (choo, choo), Cars (cah) and trucks (guck) over night.  I had to go shopping on Christmas Eve to buy a train for him because the week before he only wanted to snuggle with soft stuffed animals.  He still likes to do that but is a little more boyish.  Now he is obsessed with Mickey (mimy), and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I think he would watch that and Bubble Guppies (bubo) all day long if I would let him.  If he see's my iPhone he wants to watch Mimy on it.  He loves music.  He loves to dance.  The other day there was music on the TV and he started running around on his tippy toes holding a little Mickey in front of him in like a ballerina.  He looked like he was doing ballet.  Stu and I couldn't stop laughing.  He loves when Abby starts dancing to music.  He usually started running around in circles laughing.
He can be a little poop sometimes.  If I get mad at him he will sometimes run to to bathroom and start unrolling the toilet paper into the toilet.  Or he will throw things on the floor or start emptying cupboards.  He loves to climb everything.  It drives me crazy.  One minute he's one place the next he is standing on the kitchen counter.
Food he eats- His favorite breakfast is two scrambled eggs (eggies) with cheese and bacon.  It tastes the best on grandpa's lap. Some of his other favorite foods are, Chicken nuggets (chicky), frozen peas (pea), Hot dogs (dot dog), Broccoli (boccie), Bread (bed), Mickey Yogurt (mimy), gogurt, pancakes, waffles, quesadilla, string cheese (tcheese), pear (peh), apple, Banana (nana), strawberries, grapes, pineapple, blue berries (beie), Mandarin oranges, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, peanut butter, squeezy baby food, french fries, crackers (cackers), Mexican rice, re-fried beans, drink (jink, jink), juice, rolls, Kix, shredded wheat, chex, any candy, cookies, ice cream, treat (cheet).  He loves his vitamins (vie)  He will stand at the counter and scream vie until I give them to him. I'm sure I am missing a few things, but he can be kind of a picky eater.

Food does not like- noodles, Mac n Cheese, chicken (unless it's battered) beef, Tilapia, green beans, potatos, carrots, asperagus (he tried it yesterday and started laughing when he picked it up - a whole one. Then he poked himself in the eye and laughed.  He was not a big fan of it when he finally got it in his mouth.

This is kind of all over the place, Sam also loves to brush his teeth, (tee).  He stands at the cupboard and screams, "Tee!!!, Tee!!!" until we let him brush his teeth.  He is still a total binky (be be) boy!  He loves his binky! He is just a happy little guy that gets into everything! We just love him to pieces!

Oh Sam!

I won't tell Abby that Sam stood up in the tub, peed on her back and laughed while he did it. ( :

Old Facebook Message

I was looking through old messages I've sent to Stu and FB and I came across this one from a few years ago it made us laugh.
Stu, Here is a funny one for you. We had a 28 yr old pt scheduled for a brain scan for headache and absence of menstruation. We asked her if she could be prego she said she did know so we couldn't scan her till we found out. We called the ER and got a prego test. Surprise. She is pregnant. How did she get all the way to an MRI scan with out a pregnancy test.

And the Winner Is...

Otolaryngology! Stu has chosen ENT for the specialty! So nice to know! Now it's time to start planning for year 4.

I'm a little Ship!

Abby at dinner, "I'm a little ship! I'm a little ship!" I'm a little ship! Look it looks like a little boat." Few I thought maybe she was repeating something that I had called her once upon a time!
