Rip City!!





Elyza gave the scripture and prayer today in Primary. She got to sit up front until it was her turn. The whole time she was up there she was either talking to the girl next to her, chewing on her hair, making faces at other children, etc. So I stood up in the back and got her attention, mimed folding my arms and being quiet, and what does she do, stands up with an extremely snarky look on her face and sticks her tongue out at me. Classic.

Take 1

I tried to get pictures of the kids together today, but. . .
Elyza has been in need of a haircut for some time, so I decided to cut it tonight before taking pics, and without having it wet. Disaster. Yes, this is why Elyza's bangs are so short and all over the place. Oh well, luckily within a week they will grow a bit and look totally normal :)
Hopefully next week I will get some better shots to be able to send out to everyone!








*Today Elyza pulled a piece of foam off her mattress pad and stuck it up her nose. She then tried to get it out, but only shoved it up there farther. After a lot of promising not to hurt her, she finally let me go in with the tweezers. It was such a traumatic event, I don't think she'll be trying that ever again!

Little Slugger and Temptation

I would like to be able to say that in the story of Snow White, Elyza would play Snow White, but these days, I actually think she would be more apt to play the part of the Evil Queen and tempt you with a bright red, juicy apple which would drop you into an endless sleep. She use to love to pretend to eat the apple and fall dead away so daddy would have to awaken her with a kiss, but lately she has taken to trying to get us to eat the apple. Hmmmmm???



And our little slugger. I am pretty sure this kid got the Adams side of the gene pool when it comes to his build. He is a pretty solid boy with thick, shorter legs, and though both of my brothers are fairly tall, and Peter will probably be too, I can't help but wonder if his big sister will surpass him in height :)

Tough Guy

You try and pull a fast one on me. . .


I break a your face.




Just took some pics this morning for my Mom. I love the full body one where Lyza's legs look they could belong to a frog :) Thanks for the jams auntie K!

Ballet Recital

Elyza had so much fun in her ballet class the past couple of months. Right now everything in our house is ballerinas and princesses, but I am curious to see if/when things will change as she gets older and tries out different things. She is going to take swimming lessons this summer, more ballet, and soccer in the fall. I love taking her to class and watching her learn. She is a pretty free spirit though, usually during ballet class she is twirling to her own beat and not really paying attention to much else :)



And a little Peter giggles, cause we just can't get enough of those!
