Things to remember

Olivia and her bear.
New words: "Pee-boo" Peek-a-boo
"uh-oh"
"HiIII"
"Da-ddy"
Daddy is by far the most used word right now, and Brandon just loves it.
When she wants something she grunts at it and points and then nods her head up and down.
When she wants to be picked up she grunts with her arms up in the air and her head back.
The other day during lunch I told Porter he needed to pick either an apple or orange to eat because they'll help make him strong and healthy. While he ate his orange he flexed his muscles and said, "I'm feeling stronger already mom!"
Tonight Logan and I went to his schools mom and son Luau. I thought it was going to be really cheesy. But it ended up being really fun. They had a dj there who kept the kids entertained really well. We did a dance circle where every boy who wanted to got to go dance in it while everyone else cheered, "Go Logan, Go Logan Go!" (Very hip hop harry.) Logan pulled out some break dance moves I didn't know he had and was very excited to get his 5 seconds of fame. We did the thriller dance, The Macerena, and the Chicken dance. It was fun to see his friends from school and their moms. I love spending one on one time with my kids. I always learn more about their lives and what they find important by taking these little moments to hang out with them. I have such amazing kids and I am truly grateful that I was blessed with them.

I had a conversation similar to the one you had with Porter this morning with Annie, but it was about LIFE cereal! :) That School Activity sounds like so much fun! I hope I get to do stuff like that with my kids!! I love spending one on one time with my kids too...they behave better when they are by themselves! haha!

My Mom always told us that carrots were good for our eyes, and onions were good for our ears, and apples were good for our teeth. You just have to use whatever works.

Olivia is such a doll. I cannot beleive how big she has gotten.

You have inspired me to take a little one on one time with Kimball. I'm going to go play legos right now!
