Our little Journey

WE started another little project, the other bathroom. We had the kids help us paint, well the first coat on one wall. Our walls are so old we have to paint 2 times to make it work out. Lizzie lasted about 2 mins before she put the paintbrush in her mouth. I was taking off my sweater and to be honest I didn't think that she'd put it in her mouth. She said, Mommy Yuk. I ran her into the other room and wiped out all the paint in her mouth with a cloth, then immediately called poison control center. She luckily didn't swallow much and we just diluted it with lots of drinks. Phew. That was scarey. At one point Lizzie started screaming because Mark wouldn't let her go back in the room, the lady on the phone asked if she was okay. I explained yes, and my husband was keeping her out of the paint room. Brigham lasted briefly, but Alex loved doing it and often times you could see him copying dad in his moves. It was cute.

I took some pictures of Lizzie doing her balet video. Here is one of them. They are all pretty cute. There are some where she is making faces as they dance happy, mad, sad, etc. She just loves doing it. Its pretty cute.
This is for Renee. Lizzie got jawbreaker all over her face from the jawbreaker that Renee gave her. She has had worse, but I thought I'd capture this for her.

Mark's boss just had some baby chicks born. He invited us over to see them. This is Alex holding them. They were cute and only a day old!
Lizzie did get to hold one, but it was a bad picture of it. SHe may have held it a little tight because it chirped a bit louder.
Here is Brigham holding the bird. cute .
Brigham trying on Dad's shorts.
The boys were putting on shorts the other day. Lizzie wanted to be just like them. SHe came running out from the back into the living room where I was with these on. She put on Dad's shorts.

Its fun to be in primary with the boys. I teach Brigham's class, which he actually loves having me as a teacher. Its probably because he has me without competing with the other kids. Alex sits right behind me for sharing time. We were learning a primary song for mother's day. The singing lady said, your moms will be so happy that they may even cry. The boys kept saying mom this is for you. When we were done singing the song, Alex said, Mom you're not crying.

What a fickle boy. Last week when we spoke in church he was mad at me and wouldn't talk to me because I cried a little in my talk.

Oh yeah, during singing time in primary, Brigham towards the end said, I'm done This is stupid. He had been trying to sing so hard and sing all the words, which is a first for him. But it did get a little long. Alex belts out every word he knows, and remembers them pretty well.
