Emilee

It's my turn to give the lesson in Relief Society on Sunday so instead of working on said lesson I decided to finally download the pictures we've taken over the last month and update the blog. Anything to procrastinate...

Emilee has recently taken up the violin. Her first lesson was last Saturday and she is so excited to learn more. The violin is so tiny.


These pictures are at the park in our neighborhood. They had a Spring party at the park. It was over 100 degrees that day so luckily they had water toys for the kids to play with. Unfortunately we forgot to bring swimsuits. The bottom picture is Emilee with her bff Bailey.

Zach's scooter

Zach got a new scooter that he loves to ride. I got a quick video clip of him on the scooter.



When I take pictures of Emilee she wants to see the picture on the digital camera immediately. Lately when I have taken pictures of Zach he wants to see the picture before the flash has even gone off. The other day it took 3 tries to get one picture of him showing off his "robot" smile. Zach has an amazing imagination. So far he has introduced us to Robot Zach and Witch Zach. He hasn't picked up on the difference between a witch and a warlock. We're also trying to teach him to call Alyssa a her/she instead of a him/he.

Alyssa now 6 months old

Alyssa is amazing to watch. She is such a determined little spirit. We took her in for her 6 month appointment this past week and she is 28 inches tall which is off the charts. The 97th percentile is 27 1/2 inches. The doctor is a little worried about her weight because it is in the 50th percentile and once she starts crawling and walking she is worried that her weight is just going to drop.



I have attempted to add video of Alyssa. If it does not work just cut and past this link:

Where to start?

After taking a vacation from the blog scene for a short time, it's hard to figure out where to start. Zach is saying the funniest things lately, ie. when it's windy "Why are the trees are shaking?" or when he thought he was left home alone with Alyssa he said, "Oh no, this is big trouble." I think I'll start with the latest pictures we had taken at a photo studio and try to catch up with everything else over the next few days.

The whole gang
