Going Green

Not environmentally going green....

Literally....GREEN.

At least I wouldn't ASSUME that green tub soap foam was making an environmental contribution to society. But Eden thoroughly enjoyed it.

(My deepest apologies for anyone who is offended by child-in-the-bathtub pictures.)

This is the face of trouble....

The portrait she had me draw. (left to right: grandma, dad, mom, Lydia (aboveish), Leila (belowish), Eden....and behind Eden there's a picture of a bathtub and a rubber duckie) Man, I'm an artist...I should go into a bathroom foam art business or something!

Cute girl. Nasty water. Very nasty water...

Compare and Contrast

After looking at those pictures in my last post of Leila (I posted it YESTERDAY so look below if you haven't seen that post), I went back in time to when Eden was her age....for a little game of "compare and contrast".

Look alike? Eh, I definitely see differences. Although they definitely look like sisters.

My Little Leila

Here's my little Leila. She's almost 2 months old. Man, how time flies!

Catching smiles on camera...

Blogging with Children

I had a great vacation and I was so happy to see family, bless Leila, have extra help with the baby, and get away from "real life" for awhile.

But on the other hand...

Why its nice to be back home from vacation...

Drive from Missouri to Utah

Drive back and forth between family and in-laws

Drive from Utah to Oregon

Drive to different tourist attractions in Oregon

Drive back to Utah from Oregon

Drive back and forth between family and in-laws

Drive to campground site past Heber

Drive home from campground site

Drive to airport

Fly home.

A few things I now understand now that I'm back home...

1. Why bloggers often are slower to update their blogs after having a baby.
2. What its like to have a baby who wants to be held all the time.
3. Vacations really can mess with you and children's schedules.
4. Even the best of toddlers can instantly hit the "terrible twos".

So, to sum it all up....perhaps I'll become a better blogger once my life gets back to normal and my children decide to let me have a few moments to myself...

Hmm...this may be my last blog...

p.s. I'm assuming that EVERYONE can see that annoyance in the middle my blog that says my picture or video has been deleted (or something like that). Anyone know how to get rid of it?

Leila's Baby Blessing

Leila's blessing was on Sunday. She's four weeks old and already so much bigger than when she was born. She smiles (mostly for her daddy) and likes to be held. Tyson and I are so happy to have her in our family.

Caught on Tape

Here's a video of Eden entertaining family (singing Old McDonald) that my sister-in-law caught on video. Stay tuned to the end of the video, the end is my favorite part. (She says, "Good job everyone!") Oh how I love my little Eden...

What's Going On in Utah
