Package From Buff And Gee

The kids were so excited to see a box come through the front door today. My parents (the kids call them Buff and Gee) sent them a package FULL of craft items. Now we have lots of things to fill our rainy days with. Also, in the package, were some toys, fruit snacks and battery operated toothbrushes. Do you know what they were THE MOST excited about??? You got it! TOOTHBRUSHES!! HA

They tore through the box and were excited about every little thing...even the tongue depressors.

I think that Josiah's goal in life is to not look at the camera!

Olivia chose the green alligator...well, actually Isaac chose for all of them.

I think that he brushed his teeth 5 times today!

THANK YOU BUFF AND GEE!!

Hugs for Grandparents (with pictures)

Now that Papa and Nana and Buff and Gee have received their hugs, I can share pictures. The boys worked very hard on this while Livie Lou took a nap.

Why so gloomy boys? Give us a smile!





There we go!

Josiah loves you!

Isaac does too!

All Better

He's Back!!

And...Josiah's not so funny faces (plus, a couple other pics I didn't get added.)

As Josiah was making those funny faces for the camera, I noticed that he started acting a little...not like himself. He didn't take a nap today, so I just chalked it up to him being tired. Jay took the boys to the pool and he called to say that Josiah fell asleep in his lap. That's not like Josiah. He came home and went to bed at 6:45, without eating. He just woke up a few minutes ago, took Tylenol, and threw it up. Poor guy!!

Olivia wanted to color with Isaac and Jay but Isaac was getting a little frustrated with her. I gave her her own colored pencil and book...she didn't let it go. She wants to have everything that the boys have. :)

Oh, and this is after the bath. I'm attempting to blog straight from Picasa...but it isn't working with me. :) So this has been kind of my test run.

Josiah's funny faces.

Nothin' Much

Olivia does the funniest thing. When she is standing up, hanging on to something, she won't just fall down on her bottom. She has to slowly bend back until her knees touch the ground. It looks very uncomfortable. These pictures just don't do it justice. I kind of missed the bending part. :)

The boys love to take pictures with my camera. Here are some that they took today.

Isaac always tells us to make "funny faces".

Here is Josiah's picture of me. I had to really get under the camera to be seen.

Got down a bit more.

There I am! :)

Again, Ike likes funny.


While the boys were at the pool, Olivia decided that she needed a little swimming time of her own.


Happy girl!


She loves to open the drain...she thinks that she is being sneaky. (Yes, I know, I couldn't rotate the picture.)


She found her reflection.


Olivia LOVES bath time.



Hey, Sweetheart!


Oh, I just love that cute little tongue.


She had to try out the water.


The water is all over her face...silly girl!


Oh so silly!!


She was mad at me because she knew she had to get out of the bath. :)

Yay!!!

I'm so excited that I figured out how to post pictures with captions between. Actually, I didn't figure it out. Ilene got me started and Jay walked me through it. Jay went into some foreign blogger layout land and changed something. Now I can see pictures as I create a post, instead of seeing html!!! Life is good! Now I am so excited that I'm just going to post random pictures and talk about them. I know that you don't care, but I just want to try it out. :)

I can even write in green.

The boys love to ride horseback.

Isaac had to make a funny face...he's good at it. :)

This is one of my favorite pictures...actually, my favorite is one where he is a little further back and I touched it up in black and white. I got excited thinking that I could maybe load pictures from my page where I touch up the pictures. But I tried and can't.

I love this face!! So sweet!

Now, I am excited. Somehow I did move a picture from my web album to here...how did I do that??? I'm on a mission. Goodbye bad lighting photos, hello picasa!!!

I did it, I did it, I did it! Well, sort of! But, hey, the images are here, just small! I'll continue to work on it. Until then, you can think that I'm nuts. :)

Josiah loves his baby sister.

Ike and his cheeks, again.


THIS is my favorite picture of Josiah.




And this is that sweet face that I love, in B&W.
