Beckett J

Mr. B is 5 and gets funnier everyday. He is a great big brother and has developed quite the personality.

He loves computer games and his Nintendo DS. He started a program called Upstart about a month ago and has loved learning more to get ready for kindergarten in September.

He is learning to read and loves his tag reader and is always good about reminding us to read our scriptures every morning. The other day he was showing Fischer the pictures at the beginning of the Book of Mormon and pointed to Joseph Smith asking Fischer to tell him who it was. Fischer replied "it's Jesus Smith!"

A few things about Beck:

~ He loves to dance and has some pretty wild moves (just like his old man)

~ He loves to use the phrase "on one condition....." He will say things like "I will brush my teeth ON ONE CONDITION" and then state something that he wants

~ The other day Fischer was screaming at Harper and Beck came running in and told him to "Stop scaring the HELL out of her!" I have no idea where he learned that......;0

~ He loves Harper and Fischer and is a very good helper to me. I will miss him when he goes to Kindergarten in the Fall.

~ He loves the color BLUE, pizza, bubblegum, and cereal.

What a ham, we love Mr. B~

Eat that Fool!

For April Fools I decided to make a tricky dinner for my kids. The main course:

Fish sticks with carrots and peas?

Think again, wafer cookies covered in peanut butter and cornflakes and tootsie roll veggies!

Then for dessert: Strawberry pie with whipped cream?

How about meatloaf pie with beet colored mashed potatoes and sour cream!

Their reaction was awesome, I will have to do this again next year for sure!

Scootin

Fischer loves his scooter

Neil took him to buy knee pads, elbow pads, and new gloves.

He believes that they can and should be worn all day, everyday.

Inside and outside, scootin or not scootin

.

With his knack for falling and hurting himself, it isn't such a bad idea...

My Girl

*Warning - excessive pictures of my sweet girl Harper below*

Harper is 10 months old

She is a sweetheart.

I wish I could eat those cheeks.

A few things about my girl:

~ She is crawling super fast and stands on her own

~ She loves everything her brothers do and has to be where they are

~ She loves to eat real food and is already rejecting the "baby food"

~ She is very shy, and will put her head down if a stranger talks to her, and she sometimes does it when Neil or I talk to her too

~ She loves to take baths

~ She is finding out she has a voice but is still pretty quiet

~ She is a huge blessing to us and we are so grateful to have her in our family

We love you baby girl!
