Craziness

Wow, it's been a busy week, with a lot going on. And the craziness is only going to continue this week, as my younger sister will be spending a week with me before beginning her freshman year at BYU! Anyway, I'm sure I'll blog about the exciting visit we're going to have later. In the meantime, Michael's sister and her 20 month old daughter spent a few days with us last week and it was quite fun to have them here.We have had unusually cold weather the last few days. We like to keep the windows open at night and let the cool air from the night keep the house cool during the day. Well, one particular morning, it was quite chilly and I felt it was necessary to put a hat and these awesome slippers on Jillian to keep her warm. Aren't they the coolest?! Jillian has also taken to eating her feet. Weird baby. =) Michael is a member of the Kiwanis Club, which is a non-profit, service organization. They put on a luau for the members last week and it was really fun. Annabelle enjoyed playing with the other kids and Michael was called upon to participate in some of the games. Someone tied an apple to some string and attached the string to his belt buckle. Then, he had to try and hit a balloon with the apple across the finish line. One of his finer moments in life, I'd say. Today is Dora the Explorer's 10th birthday (meaning the show's 10th birthday- Dora the character continues to be 7 years old every year). A friend (thanks, Christy) emailed me some information that Dora would be appearing at walmart and having a birthday party and everyone was invited. They were giving out free cupcakes and taking pictures with Dora. We decided to go and let Annabelle celebrate Dora's birthday with her. Well, we were sorely disappointed to find out that Dora wouldn't be there after all. However, we did eat some yummy cupcakes and Annabelle got to try out her surprise Christmas or birthday present. We haven't bought a bike yet, but she'll have one for next summer. Currently, she has a little baby tricycle and she has definitely outgrown it. As you can see, she had no problem figuring out how to ride a big girl's bike.
