Dantzel is getting really good at riding her bike. I think daily she asks if I can move the Expedition out of the garage so she has a flat place to ride. I am so proud of her!
If you listen close you can hear the clickers on her wheels. Grandma Bug-A-Boo gave them to her. They are from Mexico. Thanks Mom!
Many emotions as I remember our sweet prophet. Can you imagine the reunion he is having with his dear wife? I wish I could have been there with them to celebrate. I am going to miss many things about him. Some of my favorites are:
Don't be shocked. I do play with the kids. Brandon just never takes any pictures of us.
I was having story time with my two cute kids. The only thing that is missing is the dog. He is usually on my lap with the kids. I am glad I have a lap big enough for everyone.
Brandon and I are now Travel Agents. We hope to be able to take more "wholesale" family vacations together. If you would like to join in on the fun please feel free to ask us how we plan to do this. :)
We had a very eventful day yesterday. I will tell just one per kid. I don't want to bore you with any more.
It started with Dantzel and her breakfast. She wanted Cheerios's with chocolate milk (as the milk). I got her all up to the table and then left for the other room. A little while later I heard James and Dantzel laughing. My first thought was "oh how cute, they are playing together". Then they just kept laughing and I could hear splattering going on. I went in to find Dantzel flipping her Cheerios everywhere. James was under her (he had crawled in there). He had chocolate milk all over his head legs arms I guess I would be safe if I just said his whole body. Oh yeah, I forgot to add that Dinky was in the middle of it all too. He was covered with Chocolate milk as well. So I grabbed my camera because, I try to do that when I get mad at the silly things my kids do. This way I have the memory and proof so I can look at the photos and laugh when I get it all cleaned up. Let me tell you, we had Dantzel's breakfast everywhere. The walls, my whole kitchen floor, the table, her chair and booster chair, my kids, the dog, and anywhere else you can think of. By the time I had it and my kids-dog cleaned up, then I had to get myself cleaned. I was sticky from the mess. What a morning.
This picture didn't turn out the greatest but, it will do. It is missing the dog. He knew better, he was out of there. Smart dog!
Now on to what James got into yesterday. We had just got home from the Post Office and so I was getting the Newspaper all read. James was in the Family room playing with toys. I didn't think anything of it until I heard him coughing. I called out to him, "are you okay buddy"? He has been sick with a cold and so coughing wasn't that big of deal. So, he kept coughing and so, I decided I better go check on him. Sure enough, he wasn't in the Family room anymore. He had crawled his way into the entry. As you can see he was having a good old time playing with my pretty Poinsettia. I had dirt and leaves everywhere. By the time I picked him up to get everything out of his mouth I took him to the kitchen to get him a drink. On the brighter side, I got to clean my floors again in the same day. Anyhow, dirt was tracked from the entry to the kitchen. So, I picked him up over my head to see if he was all clean and guess what I got... yep a mouth/face full of dirt. I guess I deserved that one. :) It was still falling from his clothes. What a joke. So after I thought about it for a minute I got a little scared because I wasn't sure if the plant was poisonous. I went right onto the computer to check things out. Whew, it said that the plant was NOT edible but wouldn't hurt you if you ate it (not recommended for eating). I was totally relieved. I guess it is time to child proof my house even more. James is just too curious. 
I might even have to get ride of the giraffe because he loves to play under and by it. I hope Brandon doesn't see him by it soon or he will really make me get ride of it. The joys of being a stay at home mom. I swear we could all write books on the funny things our kids do.
Look at how beautiful the weather is. I just had to hang James on the front door frame. While he jumped, I helped Dantzel ride her new bike.
James loves to jump! My favorite is when he jumps really hard, and then just lets his feet hang until it is time to jump again. I wish they had a jumper my size. No wonder he loves it so much.
