Raspberries

Morgan has discovered how to blow raspberries on her brothers tummy, and she makes some pretty impressive sounds. The first time she did it they were both laughing hysterically. By the time I caught it on video of course it wasn't as funny to either of them, but it was still cute.

A Mauz Holiday

My sister Mauz was in a rollover car accident in December and she hurt her shoulder. She hasn't been able to work since then and her hubby decided that she should come visit us since she had so much time on her hands. We got a week of Mauz at the end of January and loved every minute of it, especially the kids!! While we didn't do anything particularly grand, we just enjoyed being together.

Do they look anything like our actual kids?

I found this fun website where you put in a picture of you and your spouse and it shows you how your children are supposed to look. I thought it would be fun since we already have kids, to see if they were accurate at all. I don't think they are, does anyone else? It was fun at least!

Bah--o!!

People think the only word Roy Boy can say is ball (or bah-o) because it's the only thing he does say these days. He can say a few other words...like mama, papa, no, and yeah. But he rarely does. Mama comes in 2nd to ball, but not a close 2nd. I think he's signing more words than he says. He signs ball (of course), cookie, cracker, train, more, hat and maybe a handful of others. He doesn't have to say a lot though...he says it all in his actions. Uncle Joseph came up with a good name for him the other day, he's our Destroyer!!

Christmas Tomfoolery

This is a slideshow of our festivities throughout the Christmas season....the kids seeing Santa, our Jones family Christmas party, Christmas day, and other random things. Most of you probably won't recognize a bunch of people. They are Roy's siblings, parents, bro-in-law and niece. We have had a wonderful time this season (other than not being able to visit my family) and wish everyone a Happy New Year!!

Family Pictures

We've really been in need of a nice new family picture and decided to get dressed up and just do our own. We thought they turned out decent considering we're not a professional studio or anything. The first is our favorite of the whole family and we especially like the last one of the kids.

Picture Slapdash

This post is just a slew of pictures over the past few weeks. We haven't had too many exciting events lately, so I thought I would just share a few of the best pictures we've taken. I'm a person of few words, but I really like taking pictures!

Morgan posing as we get ready to head out to our first of two Thanksgiving dinners in Mesa.
Grandma Flory and the 2 granddaughters. Oh, and can't forget Barbar.
What to say about Uncle Joseph...Roy just loves him.

Being at a new house wouldn't be complete without the kids exploring. Morgan heads straight for the stairs of the bunk bed. Roy Boy to the thing with wheels. Typical.Both kids zonked in the car on the way home from Mesa, and stayed that way even after we got them out of their carseats. It wasn't even 6 pm. But we weren't lucky enough to have it last all night!

Next on the agenda was putting up the Christmas tree. Morgan was a really big 'help'.The real fun, of course, came from the empty Christmas tree box.
Roy's 1st experience with an Oreo was a success.The kids loved posing for Grammy Dallof as I took pictures of them with the special blankets she made for them with material from my Grandpa Green's mission to Tahiti in 1958.
