Crazy kid!

Malachi likes to be part of the action, so while I get ready he sits on the counter and plays in the drawers. Yesterday he decided to sit in the sink, then proceeded to turn on the water, he thought it was great!

I wear my sunglasses at night...

He could open and close the screen door at Grandma and Grandpa's all night long!

Mickey, this one's for you!

Here are the jars, I have three of the bigger ones and two of the little ones. And don't worry, they'll be empty!

The Birds

Yes, this bird is dead.

Yes, it's on my patio.

Yes, it's totally creeping me out!

Are we still canning?

Oh yes we are!!!

Latest canning adventures tomatoes and salsa.

Roald Dahl

I had completely forgotten about Roald Dahl, one of my most favorite children's authors ever, and then the other day I was looking at my book shelf and saw his books. I started reading one to Andrew while he was playing football on the X-box (a favorite Andrew past-time), it was Revolting Rhymes, hilarious, I honestly didn't think he was paying any attention! But apparently I was wrong, he really liked it. So I picked up another one, The Twits, and started reading, we didn't finish and I didn't think Andrew was all that interested, but a couple nights later he says "Hey, we never finished that book." In my head I was like "Seriously he wants me to read to him more, this is a guy who I honestly have never seen read a book 'for fun'." So we finished it, and he thought it was great.

So here's to Roald Dahl and his fabulous books, they are hilarious and so incredibly creative!

Happy Birthday Megan!!!

Words for the week

I don't know if I'm doing this weekly or not, I just do it whenever I think about it! Anyway, here are Malachi's latest words!

nana- banana, the kid could eat like 20 nanas a day!

caca-(not what you may be thinking) cracker, also could eat these all day long.

wow-whenever he sees something that looks fun he says "wooow." so cute

mmmmm-when he eats something good he goes "mmmmm" or if he thinks something will be good.

woof woof-he does this whenever he hears a dog, sees a dog, or sees something that could be a dog.

eat-he has been signing this for a while, there are times when he'll wake up and even before I get him out of his crib he's signing "eat!eat!"

I think that's all. Can I just say this little guy gets more and more fun by the day! Oh and the picture is Malachi eating a peach that he just grabbed out of a box of peaches, he ate the entire thing, he's out of control!

Goodbye Zoe

Zoe left us last week, no she didn't die, she went back to my aunt Patsy in Blackfoot. We love Zoe, but I just couldn't give her the attention she needed anymore, I'm sure a lot of you can agree she was an incredibly needy dog! Also with us planning on moving when Andrew finishes school it just would be easier to move dog-less. We love you Zoe! And we love Patsy for loving her too!

We made it!

Blackfoot was full of surprises and lots of fun. We got to spend time with family and meet soon to be in-laws, yay Kimmy! There was the always spectacular Blackfoot parade! We got to work hard, which was actually really fun, doing MORE beans and a lot of corn, we love the Lymans!! There was a surprise visit to the hospital, but all is well, thanks to lots of prayers and the tender mercies of a loving Heavenly Father. The trip home took a little longer than usual, due to an accident, but Malachi was amazing, didn't cry at all, and was perfectly content looking at his books and playing with his toys. Needless to say we are so glad to be home!
