Drama Queen

It never fails. Every year when the picture people come to the daycare to take the all the children's photographs, Sofia turns into a three year old diva. For the past three years, she has been more than uncooperative with the photographers. This time around, I begged the front office to please make her have her picture done, no matter what kind of fit she decided to throw. When the pictures came back, I was expecting to see her crying or pouting. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Sofia has a cooperative side after all. Now, if we can just keep her from cutting her hair...

Four signs that your child might have "issues"

#4- During a recent boy scout event, they were announcing what some of the scouts wanted to be when they grow up. There were the normal answers like a teacher, a pilot, a doctor, etc. When it was Jake's turn, the host announced to 300 people that he wanted to be a millionaire when he grew up.

#3- While hanging out with some friends, all the boys go upstairs and put on "princess dresses" for the princess birthday party. Andy decides on a purse for an accessory, Jake decides on a football helmet (I don't know which one is worse!)

#2 - While trying to get ready for work one morning, Sofia starts giggling and yells at me to get the camera. I think that it's a little odd for a three year old to request a camera, but I grab it anyway. Sofia (still in her PJ's) decides to wear daddy's boots and act like a model. She posed in a different position for each photo. I was laughing, but Daddy was a little irritated that we were "playing" instead of getting ready. He was only a little late for work :)

#1 - The number one sign that your child might have "issues" could be if he runs around the corner dressed in a mask, no shirt, a cape, and a toy gun and yells "Ta-Da-Da... Captain Stupid!"

Sojourners

Sometimes the best family time is the kind that doesn't cost a thing. Saturday morning, we went walking on the trails at Eagle Mountain Park. The kids had a great time running ahead and pretended to be on a great "adventure."

Jake, "Hey, did you guys see that?!"

Andy, "No, what was it?"

Jake, "It looked like a mix between an armadillo and a rabbit..."

Andy, "It was a rabbadillo???!!!"

Baptism

This past Sunday, the boys were baptized. Joey and I are very proud of them for making that decision. We are very fortunate to have a supportive family that came to church on Sunday to see the boys get baptized. In one week, the boys turned 8 years old and got baptized... they grow up so quick! Hopefully, their relationship with God will continue to grow.
