It’s been way too long since I’ve shared videos of the kids, so here are several for you to enjoy. Most recent first, I think the final clip was taken back in September? Annalise playing with her princess phone and taking teeny, tiny steps: Tommy learning to play catch: Annalise blowing out her candle (with [...]
Last weekend James brought home a surprise for the kids…a $5 yard sale toy keyboard. After I doused it with disinfectant I let them loose with it, eventually finding their favorite studio/stage in the kitchen. Dude, you might want to cover your ears: And a few still shots of our little musicians. They do their [...]
Wow, our kids are getting older fast! Tommy is now closer to age 4 than he is to age 3. He’s working on riding his bike. Daddy is still trying to convince him that pedaling is fun, though he seems to prefer the leisurely coast provided when James breaks his back bending over his little [...]
November brought us beautiful weather…temperatures were in the 70s up until the month’s very last day. We’ve been taking advantage of the sunny skies and hitting the neighborhood parks as often as we can. We even discovered a new playground not terribly far from our home, Mesa Park. It opened last month and both kids [...]
Super Wedewers! Tommy wanted to be a superhero this year, and since the rest of us didn’t really have a preference we followed suit. James and I were Super Lame and just got t-shirts. Here are some pics from this year’s festivities.
Age 3 1/2 certainly ain’t easy. But our young man has his moments of sweetness that erase all the frustration. Case in point, complete cheese-ball grin at the doctor’s office. He gets the biggest kick out of looking at the pictures right after I take them. And here he issued a very kind invitation for Annalise [...]
Here are some pics from our trip to Portland in early October. We were all over the place! We stayed with Aunt Donna & Uncle Gary. Went to Bradi & Josh’s rehearsal dinner and wedding. Got to see Great Grandma Lucille. Had a fun visit to OMSI with Jess, Henry, Sarah & Kelton. The kids went to Grandpa [...]
Tommy, along with his classmates, recites the Pledge of Allegiance each day at school. He’s always been quick to memorize things he hears over and over (lines from story books, the Lord’s Prayer, etc.), but the fact that he can say the whole thing kind of floors me. We were practicing yesterday while I was [...]
Tommy visited his dentist, Dr. Kinner, today. He was very cooperative while the hygienist cleaned his teeth and helped her count all 20 of them. He enjoyed thumbing through an “I Spy” book while we waited for the doctor and was such a brave boy for the exam. He also reported that Annalise only has five [...]
Tommy had a BLAST splashing in the water fountains at Town Square Las Vegas a couple weeks ago. Here he is in action. What a happy guy!
I think we really, truly have a little girly-girl on our hands. Annalise recently discovered princesses, ponies and pink. She probably would have been content playing with Tommy’s Hot Wheels, airplanes and race tracks her entire childhood, but I figured it was time to buy her some of her OWN toys. Why not make them pink? [...]
Here are a few shots of our happy kiddos. They’re so full of smiles…especially little Lisey.
Tommy got his first library card in early September. He was having one of his “I MUST wear my big, ridiculous, Elton John sunglasses everywhere” days. His favorite kinds of books are airplanes (of course), Mickey Mouse and Curious George. He has also taken a liking to flipping through the comic books on display. Here [...]
Today Tommy attended his first day of preschool. Hard to believe he’s old enough to go to school already, but here he is! Doesn’t he look dapper in his little LVDS uniform? Placing his new backpack in his classroom cubby. Big smiles with Mrs. Toth. All weekend he kept commenting on how pretty she is! A quick [...]
Fun in the kiddie pool at Tamica’s house. Here she has a death grip on Kris’ wristwatch. Ahhhhhhhhhh! Tommy posing with M3′s toy plane, which he’s dubbed “Big Jet” and won’t put down as long as we’re at their house. He actually refused to go swimming so as not to forsake his precious time with [...]
