Random bits and pieces

Tiffani and Cheryl at Carl's Jr. Tiffani's mouth is full of food, but John didn't care.







Pictures of the fam doing our "camping" duty. The kids love the idea of camping and Tiffani HATES camping. So, as a comprise we did a dinner out in the woods over a little grill. The kids loved it and we endured it.




John took the kids to Canyon View Park while I went shopping. They were ornery, but they had fun I'm sure.

Maddie Jo is the biggest baby we've ever had. She went in for her two month check-up. She's even more off the charts than before in height and she is 90% for weight. She's wearing clothes Alexis wore at six months!! So, she's getting bigger. One big plus for having a big baby is that she sleeps through the night, if you count six hours as sleeping through the night, I do!! It's heavenly and John and I both appreciate it, the only draw back is that she doesn't go to sleep until sometime between twelve and one. Oh well, we can't complain.

Drew has to ask why all the time. I finally told him: "because Jesus said" one day and he actually stopped asking why on that line of questioning!! Alexis is just as Alexis should be. She has taken to being a miniature mommy which is sometimes really helpful and sometimes a pain our neck. She likes to put Drew down for his nap, which is very helpful and Drew doesn't seem to mind. She also has taken to telling us that things she wants and we tell her no to are: "not a question". She gets this from Tiffani. When Tiffani tells her to do something and Alexis tells her no, Tiffani would reply with: "It's not a question". It backfired. Also, we count down from five so they know that it's time to do what we asked. The other day Tiffani was on the computer reading something and Alexis came in and told her that it wasn't her turn. Tiffani told her she would be just one minute and then she could have a turn. That did not fly with Alexis because she told her: "No, it's my turn. I'm going to count to five." And she did, when she finished counting, she tried to pull her off the computer. When we finish counting we pick them up and move them to where they are supposed to be, funny how they mimic EVERYTHING we do.
