No Name

My birthday had just passed, so when I got a sealed package on my bed one morning, I was excited to see who was running late on my gift.

No name?  No address label?  Who could it be?

Two of the nastiest and dirtiest diapers I have ever seen.
Not Nonnie — too cheap to let one of her Priority Mail envelopes go to waste.
Not Micah — We all know he doesn’t have two dirty diapers under his belt this early in the morning.
All fingers point to you Skylar!

They Adore One Another

They Hearted Me

One of Scout’s projects in preschool this week was to decorate my room for my birthday.  Nice work Skilly…you are undoubtedly the best!

Working Out

Scout took the easy road while Micah did his sit-ups the other morning.  They both look manly….especially Scout, who sported his pink plug and favorite blanket.

Dada

Sweets is finally talking.  She munches on her finger and mumbles Dadadada.  According to Micah, he has been working with her for a long time on it.  I checked up on when Scout said Dada, and it was at the exact same time….7 months on the dot.

All In A Morning

Navy has so many tricks going on, I just caught a few within about an hour of each other.

She holds her own bottle.

She stands up wherever she can…which is everywhere.

She plants kisses.  But, only on her few select favorites.  Obviously Skilly is one of the few.

A Giveback

On top of Tom’s being for a great cause….these are the cutest little shoes on Scout.

Scout as of Lately…

This kid is a classic. Not only does he have everyone wrapped around his finger, but he just oozes personality.

Things he says lately that are so cute….

“Mommy…what you doing?”

“You see dat?”….”I saw dat!”

“You like vampires?” and when I say they scare me, he reassures me that, “they are nice.”

“Das cute mamma.”

When I tell him he has preschool that day, he says, “Ooooohhh…I like preschool.”

“Not yet” on everything I want him to do.

While driving in the car, “Did you see dat? One shiny wet nose, two black eyes…iz a bear!” He says it the same way I do when I read Bear Hunt to him.

He is always adding things into his prayer about what he shouldn’t do. Tonight’s were, to “not throw or chuck things”. But the best prayer moment was last night when I was helping him say, “please help me to have a good day tomorrow”, and when he heard the word tomorrow, without skipping a beat, he went into….”the sun will come out…..tomorrow…tomorrow….I luz ya…tomorrow….” from Annie. It was classic!

When I asked what he wanted to get his little buddy for his birthday, he said, “a big, huge gun….so I can shoot him.” Guess he doesn’t grasp the whole gift concept yet.

Last but certainly not least, every single morning when he sees Icka for the first time, he takes his pluggy out and gets right in her face to say, “good morning Icka” and then gives her loves and a kiss.

Team Freckled — The First Losers!

Tristen and I competed in the Urban Dare Newport Beach challenge on Saturday, and took second freaking place! Talk about a let down. We were 6 minutes away from winning a cruise to the Bahamas. What a rip. Well at least we got some exercise in, and validated the fact that we would be awesome on the Amazing Race.

And on a side note…..I told Tristen to come in all black for our team get up. Who knows why she raced all over Balboa Island in designer shorts and t shirt. I am surprised she wasn’t wearing gladiator sandals. I don’t know who she was trying to impress, but then again….with the fanny pack….I guess she wasn’t trying to impress anyone.

Mis….spelled

Accordeeng to Micah, I alwayz have wurds spelled incorectly in my blawg postes.  Whuups!  Mi bad….and why dosn’t my stincking spell chek wurk?
