Long Arms

Look what I can reach!

Christmas with the Leirans

 
 
 

Since we weren't able to go to Waterville for Chrismas, Papa and brought Christmas to us in February!  We had a great time tearing into presents!  Emery figured out how to open presents, but we helped him just incase he would have any problems!

Bad Boys

So...we were being really bad and Mom couldn't seem to figure out why.  Finally, she took us for a quick trip to the vet to pick up Obi-Wan and figured out what our problem was.

Drummer Boy

Mommy ran to the doctor's office this morning and came home to Daddy on speaker phone (and mute!) into a conference call at work, looking at slides on the computer and me in the kitchen just beating away on this pot with a whisk!  Mommy should leave me alone with Daddy more often!

Best Buds

This is me and my best friend Isaiah.  We have so much fun playing and wrestling!

Smile

You might wonder why I have this HUGE smile on my face.....

Well..it's because Mommy and Daddy finally figured out that my huge molars trying very hard to poke through are killing me and pulled out the ibuprofen bottle!

Grapefruit

Daddy bought a grapefruit for us to try.

We liked it so much that we drank the extra juice right out of it!

Princess Leah

 

 
We all got a chance to hold our newest cousin, Leah. The excitement for holding her went right along with our ages, Aiden loved it, Emery wasn't so sure, and Parker was somewhere in the middle - of course, Mommy was just thrilled to be holding her, but she'd really old!

Proud oldest cousin with Grandma Jo.  What a great trip up to visit and to meet Leah.  Pretty soon we'll be teaching her to jump in mud puddles or smash bugs!

Best Toy

The best toy EVER!

Family of 8

 
We  are now a family of 8!  We picked up these two kitties at the shelter  last night.  We just went to look, but the boys bonded so well with  these two that we couldn't leave them behind.  They want to run and play  with Bandit already, although he isn't quite so sure yet, but I'm not  worried about him coming around.  The black one looks VERY similar to bandit only slightly smaller  and a little bit difference of where the black is on their white noses,  but almost twins!  He alos enjoys playing all of the time.  In fact, it is very hard to type this post as he is trying to attack the letters as I type them on the screen!  The grey cat is a little calmer, but still playful.  Currently, he is playing with the boys through the door.  He is a great cuddler.  We aren't sure what to name them yet, but hopefully, we can pick some good names soon!

Bedtime Stories

I'm ALL ready for bed, but I will only read bedtime stories while sitting in this laundry basket saying "freight train" as well as I possibly can.

Engineers in the Making

Certainly Logan and I can figure out how to put this drum set back together, right?

Play Date

We had a play date with Isaiah.  It was so much fun being pulled around in this little red wagon!

We also enjoyed piling on top of Isaiah.  What a great afternoon!

Pump It Up With Preschool

Aiden and Parker's preschool classes studied fitness before Christmas.  Here is the video their classes made.  Parker isn't in the video because he was getting tubes on the day they video taped, but he still LOVES to watch and exercise right along!  I love the pushups and the hool-a-hoop!

Lunch

I'm becoming quite a chef by cooking as much as I possible can with Daddy.  I love it!

Happy Birthday, Daddy

We made Daddy hot fudge pudding cake for his birthday, yum!

We also got him Back to the Future on blu-ray.  We are so excited to watch!

Light Swiches

I'll do just about anything to get my hands on a light switch!

Children's Sermon

This morning we headed to church and the children's sermon was HILARIOUS!  Pastor Scott was talking about parties and if we liked them.  Of course, we had to mention that today is Daddy's birthday.  Pastor Scott also talked about what fun things we do at church.  We had to mention that we had a lot of fun at church when Liam was sick and pucking.  I don't know why he didn't think that was fun, but we really had a lot of fun that night with Liam's sisters playing superheros!  We sure had all of the adults laughing at all our stories.  Emery even made it through the nursery and through the children's sermon without getting to upset.  It's a good thing he didn't see Mommy!

Star of the Week

The coolest part of being Star of the Week is that your family comes to school and reads stories.  Daddy even took some time off from work to read to my class!  We read Moose Tracks by Karma Wilson and The Terrible Plop by Ursula Dubosarsky.  We had a great time and I hope that Mommy and Daddy can come back to school again soon!

Toys

I would really like to go swimming again!

This morning I've found the dinosaur flashlight and I love that it says, "ROAR".  I make it roar and then I roar right back at it!
