Madison absolutely loves books. She reads books more than she plays with toys. By the end of the day one whole room in our house is dedicated to her books. Madi is a little on the OCD side and likes to have everything in a neat manner. After she is done reading a book, she lays it neatly by the last one she read.

First Steps
Hyrum is making progress. He has ventured out to the walking phase of his life. He's not walking all over quite yet. But he is trying. Cory and I were saying last night how it seems like it was just yesterday he learned how to crawl. Hyrum is growing up fast! This video probably won't be interesting to most of you except for the grandparents. But enjoy!

The Green Bean
This is a picture of what Hyrum will be if he keeps up his eating habits. My child loves to eat! But he is a little on the picky side. Normal children will refuse to eat their fruits and vegetables. Hyrum is the complete opposite. He loves fruits and vegetables. We have to keep his vegetables from him until he eats the main course of his meal.Hyrum is a very very stubborn boy! Last night he refused to eat any dinner. We didn't want the boy to go starving so Cory and I finally opened up a can of green beans. And.... WALLAH! He was suddenly scarfing down green beans. What does a mother do?? Well, at least my child likes his fruits and vegetables. :)

Snack Time
Madison and Hyrum like to play "Cheers" at the table! They will do it with their drinks, or any other food they are eating that is the same. In this case it is their graham crackers. Silly kids!

Hippy Pirate
Madison is a social butterfly. She loves having friends to play with. One evening we were playing in our backyard and noticed that kids were starting a game of Pirates. She just inched her way closer and closer until the kids were forced to bring that cute little girl into their game. Boy, was she happy to be a silent pirate that night. She talks about it everytime we go outside in the backyard!
Are there hippy pirates? Look at what a hippy Madi is. Dressed up in her shirt, headband, five necklaces, and about twenty bracelets. I think that is as hippy as you can get. Madison definitely takes after her Aunt Caitlyn.

Happy Memorial Day...
We had a fun day yesterday. We started our day off by watching Black Beauty as a family. Madison and Hyrum were both very interested in the movie because it was about horses. We then went to the park while Cory worked for a few hours. Then it was off to the beach. We were supposed to be going to a kid friendly beach with some friends of ours. But the beach turned out to be a beach with very BIG waves. So the kids weren't able to play in the water much. We still had a great time at the beach for an hour or so and then we went to our friend's community pool. The kids had a blast swimming in a calm pool. We enjoyed spending the day with friends and especially together as a family. It was a definite bonus that Cory was able to go with us. We were expecting him to be in the office all day. But it made it such a better day because we were all together as a family!!
We Love Spaghetti
Wednesday, May 21, 2008
We all know how much Madison and Hyrum LOVE the park. But I have to confess that is difficult for me to have to same passion about taking them to the park when it is so hot outside and it takes a 15 minute walk to get there. Ok, I'm a complainer. So I tell the kids we go to the park on Fridays. Madison does not like this schedule of mine. She, unlike Hyrum, can voice her opinion about the park. She is a social butterfly and always wants to be playing with other little kids. And she knows there is no other place to go to find those friends than the park. So we are now making the hot walk more than once a week. But it makes my children so happy, that it is definitely worth it for me to come home dripping with sweat with two happy kids!

He's Back...
No teeth were found as an explanation for the crankiness for the last week. But we're here to tell you. He's back....
This is Hyrum's mug shot! He was having a little bit too much fun in the dirt! Funny kid!
Hyrum trying to run off with Madison's bicycle... even though he doesn't know how to get on himself.

Hyrum: Mischief
As you can see there is a baby proof lock on the cupboard. This means diddly squat to Hyrum!
(He also gets into the bathroom and rolls all the toilet paper off of the roll... so kind! That's the beauty of being able to get to a standing position by yourself and being left alone for one minute.)
Hyrum is sure giving me a run for my money!

Curious Boy
Hyrum is an active little guy. This is what happens when I try to take cute pictures of him.
You can barely see his little face behind his hand.
I just thought this was cute video of Hyrum in action trying to take the camera away from me. Yes, he does have a mo hawk today. I am having difficulties trying to get his hair to part. Those darn cowlicks! He has one cowlick on the front left and one in the back right. So his hair always goes straight down the middle. So today, we just let him be free.
