Nate and his opinion on Spiked hair.

Here is Nate after I spiked his hair on 9-11. You see how sad he is. Its almost like I am torturing him. So today while we were getting ready to go to park day I asked Nate, "Can I please spike your hair Nate." And he looks at me with his beautiful brown eyes and says, "No, I don't like it spiked, I just like myself the way I am, Flat haired." I've never said he has flat hair...I always call him fluffy head when his hair gets to long, it never wants to lay down, but in his mind his hair is flat and that's the way he likes it. I'll keep trying to spike it, but I don't know if I'll ever get him to like it. In the car on the way to the park I asked him why he didn't like his hair spiked and he told me than it just freaks him out. So to resits the temptation to want to spike it I cut it today, then it is spiked and he doesn't even know it is. I win.

Miley is 4 months old!

Today Miley is 4 months old...which includes shots and a check up. She did so much better this time around at the doctors. She only really cried hard during the shots, one oral and 5 in her legs. I think she sort of knew what was going to happen when we got into the doctors office. Last time she was so social and happy with the doctor and then cried like we were killing her during the shots. Well this time she didn't smile at all at the doctor. Actually she kept sticking out her lower lip ready to cry it poked wrong or looked at funny. But she is growing great. She is now 14lbs 8oz and 25 1/2 inches long and growing perfectly. She is such a cutie. Nate was a very good boy too and followed instructions beautifully. I was glad of that. He can be such a good helper. At home after she talked to daddy and played with her bunny and was standing up and smiling, last time she slept right after and then cried if you moved her wrong or sometimes cried just to cry. So things are good and we are blessed for that. I'm sure Heavenly Father is helping her out too.

Happy Birthday Grandma Deming!

We wanted to wish you a happy Birthday Grandma Deming. Thank you for being such a wonderful Grandma too all and Great Grandma for Nate and Miley. We all hope you have a wonderful Birthday. Wish we could be there to give you hugs and kisses. Just know we are thinking of you and hoping you have a wonderful day. Love you Jared, Rena, Nate, and Miley.

Playing with the Brights.

Sept 10th

We had a great opportunity to watch Jacob and Camden Bright while Holly got her hair done. The kids had a great time with each other. They started by watching Peter Pan. Here is a picture of all of them on my bed watching the show, even Miley and Camden watched it for a while.

Here is Camden checking Miley out. She was very interested in holding Miley's arm and squeezing it. The funny thing is if Nate would have been doing this to her she would have screamed at him, but she didn't fuss at all when Camden was playing with her arm and petting her head.

Later, after a snack, the kids decided to play with Nate's tools under the table. They started fixing it at first, but then after a while they turned it into a force field generator. It was keeping us all safe from earthquakes. At first it was a weak force field and could only keep you safe if you were under the table, but as Camden ventured out from under the table and I didn't want to climb directly under it the area it kept safe extended to keep us all safe, in the end the force field kept us safe all the way to our front door.

Here is Miley helping too. She loved being around all of the kids. After the kids left Nate was so sad and has been bugging me everyday asking me when Jacob and Camden will come back and play, so I better arrange sometime soon.

These other two pictures are just random ones of Miley and Nate playing. Nate's Storm Troopers are such fence sitters. I'm not sure if they are just chilling or trying to ride the fence. Nate has quite an imagination.

Copy Cat and More.

I wish this picture wasn't fussy. Jared and Miley were playing Copy Cat, it was so funny.

Jared at lunch with Miley. They are having fun with each other.

My Princess!

I didn't know that a kid could get this messy eating a chocolate frosted donut.

I don't want cereal mom!

So Cute!

The Chop

So I got my hair Chopped today. I was sick of Miley pulling on it all the time. Hopefully I will get less headaches now.

Activity Days Fun!

On Sept 5th we had a mother daughters Hawaiian themed day for our activity. We played some hula hoop race games, some beach ball volleyball games. Then we sat and snacked while we had some getting to know you game between the moms and daughters. Here are some that I did.

We made these book marks and then had the moms and daughters sign this Pact...

I believe all of the girls and mothers had fun. I took pictures of all of them and then with photo shop put them into some Hawaii scenes and then got them printed at Costco for the girls. They decorated a picture frame for the pictures. Down below are the pictures. They each had all 4 sunset scenes so they could choose which they wanted to frame. Then are such cute girls.

Here is a picture of me and our Activity Days Girls.
