25 weeks

Originally we attempted taking this picture with Afton...

It turned out she wasn't taking is very seriously. Speaking of bad habits... this is not one she has learned from me!



And now her turn to show off her "big belly". We love our little goof ball.

Bad habits

In this house we are pretty good at teaching bad habits. This is one that I would have to say her dad is most responsible for.

General Confercence Entertainment

It's a little hard to watch general conference when there is a 2 year old in the house and wants to be entertained. This time we were ready. My friend Julia (who is moving) conveniently gave us a few new toys that Afton was entertained with. We pulled out our craft box and colored and covered in stickers a nursery general conference packet that I found online. It was great. She loved the pages with hidden things to find. I helped her draw a self portrait... I hope it looks nothing like her and that she doesn't get mine or Logans poor drawing abilities. We made glasses, bracelets, and crowns from pipe cleaners... another freebie from Julia. It turned out to be an excellent conference... I actually got to listen. Next conference I'll have to be prepared again so that it continues to be an enjoyable experience for all of us.

Flu

After going to a birthday get together at a friends house on saturday a few weeks ago, I came home and started not feeling great. I thought it was just heart burn and nausea from the 3 pieces of pizza, full plate of fruits and veggies with dip, orange soda and 2 cupcakes that I managed to stuff down my throat.... yah I know, pretty disgusting. Things progressively got worse and ended in a night of puking and no sleep. By Sunday morning I had all the symptoms of a 24 hour flu bug so Logan and Afton got ready and went to church without me. I had to take a picture of the two of them as they left together. They coincidentally matched and looked so sweet going to church, just the two of them.





Little did we know that miss Afton would come home from church and a couple hours later wake up from her nap puking all over her bed. She continued to throw up 4 seperate times... once in bed(thank goodness for mattress protectors), then on the floor by the bathroom(thank goodness we have tile floors), once in the toilet(we were very impressed that she felt it coming and knew where to go), and once all over the front of me(thank goodness for great pregnant cleavage and bra's to catch it all). Why is it that anytime kids throw up there is hot dog in it? Whatever the case, we washed about 9 loads of laundry that day. It's a good thing I felt better the next morning because I had A LOT of laundry to put away and A LOT of cleaning to do!

Finally sleeping sound and like a little baby with her little bum in the air and "baby alligator" underneath her.

Kite Flying

We were just waiting for a windy day like this. Logan saw this kite at Walgreens for 1.99 and got it for a day of fun with Afton.... I know, big spenders. She had a lot of fun and so did we. Typically I don't think flying kites is that exciting but when you see the excitement in a little kid who is flying a kite "all by myself" for the first time, the excitement is pretty contagious.











It turned out to be great practice for a friends kite flying birthday party the following week. She was a pro by then.

Bits of March

We've been trying to keep ourselves busy. Second semester has been a beast! Poor Logan is studying and in the lab all the time. We hardly see the guy! I've been trying to find projects and activities to mix up our routine a bit. She gets bored of me a lot. I'm not as fun or as exciting as her dada that she misses a lot.

We've gotten to babysit Aftons friend Carson a couple of times. She looks forward to these days!

Sad day for Logan. I heard a crash and ran back to his study room to find him and Afton with a broken chair. I took just one lean with Afton on his lap and one of the legs snapped right off. He's been demoted to a wooden kitchen chair to study in... no leaning in that chair.



Afton got to ride on another carousel and she insisted that she ride the Zebra. Kids are so funny. Just some of the things we've been up to this March. It's starting to get really hot. Oh here we go again!

Things have gotten a little hairy around here

I think it's time for another haircut. I'm not sure I want to continue brushing this out 3 times a day!
