Catching Up

So we learned that we could get our neighbors wireless internet in our living room. So for now we sort-of have the internet. We have to use our laptop- which still means I have to load pictures twice, but it's better than nothing. James had been really sick, so I am staying home from church with him today. I am sad, but it is the perfect opportunity to catch up a little on our blog, so here it goes!
These are not in chronological order.
I just had to put this one in because it's so cute. James put that hat on himself. He loves saying "cheese" for the camera.
Garden season is over, I'm so sad. Here is Spencer holding up the carrots we dug up.
Spencer and the newest member of our family, the Ipad. The school here got a grant where every teacher gets an Ipad and every student gets and Ipod touch. There are a lot of educational apps. Spencer loves to play on the Ipad, and Devon takes it everywhere.
James loves oatmeal, which is good because he is a picky eater, I am glad to find anything he will eat. Here he is after feeding himself.
James also loves riding his bike. When we go outside he just rides around and around. He has even firugred out steering. He rides really well, but we are still working on walking.
These are the preschool kids with their "ears" when we learned about hearing. Teaching preschool has been really fun, and last week Spencer decided that he didn't need to cry everytime he went- Yeah!
We found this toad in our sandbox. It was pretty cool, so we tried to keep it as a pet, but it wouldn't eat any of the bugs Devon found for it, so we had to let it go.
Devon's dad and sister stopped by on their way to Provo from Texas. We showed them Bluff fort. Here is James laughing because he is making Grandpa nervous by standing up in the handcart.
Elizabeth let spencer use her camera for a while, and he took pictures of everything, trees, rocks, dirt, the floor, and a few people.
Isn't James just cute?
My neighbor and I trade off babies when we are teaching preschool so we can actually teach preschool. Having Berkley over has taught me some things to be grateful for. On this day I came out and the crayons were everywhere! They were both drawing on the floor. We got some paper to make this more productive. I am grateful that Spencer had enough of a small motor delay that he could not open the crayon box until he was pretty good about drawing on paper. James however, has learned the trick, so now we need a new place for the crayons.


And lastly Spencer singing his new favorite song "I'm a mean old witch with a hat"

Those were some fat carrots! I love your haircut and cute costumes. Aurora learned that Mean Old Witch in preschool too. So cute!
