Big Family Breakfast

One of the tradition that our family has (thanks to Sheri) is Big Family Breakfast. On Saturday morning Daddy sleeps in (or pretends to) while Mom makes breakfast. We usually have blueberry muffins and orange juice. Bug leaves her mark on the breakfast, usually in the form of watered down orange juice. We love to have her participate. We hope she turns out to be a great cook one day (so that she can feed us when we can no longer do it ourselves).

Beautiful Girl

I know that we often use the term "beautiful girl" in reference to Isabella but if its true its true. She is growing up everyday. She is sporting the hand-made dress that G'ma Nona sent to her in this picture. Pay attention to her hands in this picture - she loves her chapstick. She asks for chapstick on a regular basis. Fortunately, she no longer eats it.

Nona's Package

Buggy always gets so excited about a package (don't we all). Lucky Nona is always winning lotteries and contests. I have never won a contest in my life and yet she always seems to win them. It is quite amazing. But things are looking up for us - G''ma now wins them and gives us the loot (with some extras). All items are now living in various corners of our house.

Building Blocks

So I taught Bug the art of block building. The key is a "strong base." Whenever we pull the blocks out Isabella's first comments are that we need a "strong base." As can be seen in the picture above, she practices a lot. When I get home we fight over the blocks sometimes and she is jealous of my big towers. See below for a sample of my building prowess.

So she would not feel that Dad was showing her up, I let her have her joy in knocking it down.

And we laughed it all off in the end.

Forever Family

It is nice to go to the temple. It is always a good reminder of our eternal family.

Job Hunt

Imprisoned Panda - Eating

Head - Moove!!! (think in an Irish accent)

Guerilla

Look at the beautiful colors

I am in the midst of job search again. I decided to take the opportunity to go to the zoo with the family. Unfortunately the zoo doesn't appear to have any great need for a lawyer these days (ferocious as they are). Maybe they feared the lawyer would hurt the panda attraction

Memorial Day Festivities

Memorial Day was a lot of fun. We spent the morning checking out the local festival and then BBQ'd the rest of the day with friends. We were sad to miss our last BBQ with the Witters but will cash in the rain-check in the near future. Isabella got her first pony ride. She seemed to enjoy it. Dad and Bug also took aride on the train that did a small look around the festival. We have pictures and sunburns to show for our fun day.
