funny

 I told David abt the 4 missing WV miners that were found dead, he was confused why kids were in a mine. LOL. He thought I said "minors" haha!

Timesaver

Sometimes when Aaron wants to talk to either one of us, he'll save time and say "Mahdee" or "Dah-mee"...or maybe it's just "Mahdee"...and then he'll pick one of us to talk to or more like ask us to do something.

We like to take walks to TVA to play on the playground and swings. Whee!!

Easter-ish

We didn't really do much for Easter. We did dye some eggs.

It was also my first time dying eggs by myself for the first time. I had put the blue dye in the plastic-y bowl but as you can see...it dyed the bowl blue. AND it was my first time trying to boil eggs, yes, my first time. Anyway, I broke a couple of eggs trying to boil it...hence, the limited amount of actual dyed eggs. :P

So I transfered the blue dye to a glass cup. (colors from left to right: orange, green, and blue)

These are our eggs. We draw on them with crayons and put then put them in the dye. I wanted to try and put stickers or something on the eggs but that didn't really work out too well. I had some scotch tape on one of the eggs but that didn't really work too well either...

Aaron drew on his egg and put it in the bowl.

As you can see, he's very proud of his egg.

Here he is trying to play that classic guessing game, "Guess which hand the egg is in?"

Sorry for such bad quality but these were all taken with my cell phone.

We didn't do much Easter this year. Better remind the Easter Bunny to come visit!

Happy belated Easter everyone!

Oreos

I had gotten a pack of oreos from work and had left them on the counter to enjoy the next day. The following morning, he got up with me while I got ready for work so I plopped him on the couch with a couple of oreos and animal crackers to watch PBS Kids and went on my way. Unfortunately I forgot that Aaron knows how to use the stool to get things that are too high for him.

The following is a text I got from David while I was at work:

Aaron ate the rest of the oreos. I woke up and found half cookies in a bowl with animal crackers and the parmesan chese packets all crumpled into balls haha

Evidence he ate the oreos!

(this happened on or around March 13th, it was a post I had written and forgotten about, but here it is!)

Pink Converse

Raya trying on pink Converse shoes that are still a little too big for her that our friend Kamaile had given us.

Of course, Aaron wants in on the picture!

They are so cute! (ok, so I'm a little biased!)

Mullet

Mailani cut ten inches off my hair on Sunday. I looked at Aaron and decided that Aaron's hair around his ears were getting too long. So I asked Mailani to cut the hair around his ears. Bad idea. Now he looks like he has a little mullet!!

The Boys

How cute is this picture?! I love it!

Raya: 4 Months

Went to the doctor for her four month checkup on Monday

weight 16 lbs 5 oz

height 24.5 inches 

 

She is one chunky monkey!

When Aaron was 4 months, he was only 15 lbs BUT he was 25 3/4 inches long! 

I love her hair after she bathes! Her hair sticks up and David likes to give her a little mohawk. 

update: She got her 4 month shots on Friday. The first shot, she didn't even flinch and with the second shot, she cried for like 5 seconds and was done. I'm thinking her huge thighs saved her some pain! :D

Slippers

Aaron has outgrown the several pair of shoes and has only been wearing the Transformer shoes my sister got him. They aren't bad or anything but when you're in a hurry, shoes is the last thing I want to be putting on, especially on a squirmy 2 year old. 

There was a 2/$5 deal at Children's Place and we got him a pair for now and one for later.

He is still getting used to them but I think he likes it. I know I like it. It's so much faster and easier now!

We were waiting at the Doctor's for Raya's 4 month checkup and decided to take pictures (with my cell) of his new slippers. 

 Here he is watching David play a game.

Aaron took this picture.

 He takes weird poses when I ask him to take a picture.

 I was just trying to get his feet in this one...

Read the Scriptures

I personally have always needed help reading my scriptures more consistently, so when a member in my ward told us about this website, we had to check it out! Actually, David started it first and I followed!

http://www.readthescriptures.com/

You choose where you want to start and when you want to finish reading! It sends you an email of the chapter and once you're finished reading, you click on the "completed" button and they'll send the next chapter! And if you fall behind, they'll email you a reminder to either get the email sent again or read it online. (I've had several of those reminder emails and I'm -- days behind)

When reading online, you can highlight and take notes! (something you can't do with the email) You can also write a journal on there.  There is also a "teams" feature that lets you create a group of your friends to remind each other to read and send emails of encouragement!

This is really awesome! I haven't tried all the features yet but it still is pretty cool!

Head on over and check it out! Unless you don't need help reading your scriptures like me! :P
