Strong Man

This little dude figured out how to get up on the couch by himself.  It's not a regular thing yet (luckily) but it's just a matter of time!

Charlie also learned to blow kisses this week!  I was actually really shocked because we haven't really worked on it - my mom always does it when we skype and he has mimicked her once or twice.  But this week I asked him to blow a kiss and without showing him he did it!  He's kinda stubborn and won't do it regularly but has done it enough times that I know he knows what he is doing!

Play Date

Play date is a little bit of a stretch considering Charlie and Adella were easily the oldest babies, but the Mom's enjoyed this little morning meet up!  We had a lot of young couples move into the ward last year and they pretty much all had babies!

Charlie and Adella were mostly happy in the stroller for awhile while they ate lunch but soon got restless.  Charlie was instantly on the run and I spent the rest of the time chasing him down!

 Luckily, Adella is quite content to sit on the blanket (or at least stay very close by) and just play with whatever she can find.

It will be fun to get together with these ladies every week and chat, since my kids are the only ones that are mobile, I'm not sure how long I will be able to keep up!

Feeling Domestic

I busted out the wheat grinder last week and ground up a whole lot of wheat!  I like to grind a huge batch up and put it in the freezer so I don't have to get the grinder out and clean up the mess too often.  I was really afraid Charlie would freak out at the noise so I had put it off for several days, but finally decided to go for it!  Magazines did the trick and both Charlie and Adella were nicely occupied while I completed my project!

Project Life Week 10

Week 10!  I seriously love this system!  I seriously spend 1 to 2 naptimes in general doing ALL my blog posts for the week and doing my project life layout!   Makes me so happy!

Sunday Fun Version 3.10.13

Sunday afternoon we headed to the McKellar's house to celebrate Grandma Button's birthday.   Charlie was in heaven!  He was so happy to run around and explore.  It was actually amazing because lately he hasn't let us put him down in big crowds for a second - but he actually threw a fit every time we tried to pick him up!

He didn't even mind when the big dog came to say hi!

Adella was quite the opposite.  She was content to just sit on Daddy's lap and observe.   We only wish she would do that at church!  Don't know what goes through their little heads!    

Later she did get down and play for a bit, but after awhile ended up on Grandma's lap where she stayed for the next hour or so.  It was seriously strange.  She didn't try to climb down, didn't wiggle, didn't try to reach for us when she saw us.  She was just loving snuggling with her Great Grandma!

And just for fun, there was a little Where's Waldo action going on.  Uncle Jay and Grandpa were wearing the exact same shirt and little Collin was matching too!  So fun!
