Jacuzzi Time!!

Benefit of living in Southern Utah: you get to hang in the Jacuzzi in January!

First of all I love this picture!! (way to go mom!)

Marinn kept sinking down where her mouth was in the water... one time she got a little to low and snorted up some water.  She came up pretty fast blowing her nose trying to get the water out... hilarious! But she recovered really well. 

They decided it would be fun to jump off the side.  Taurin always had to put her feet in the little cup holders before jumping off the side.  It's all about the form people. 

She was fearless... and would jump with little hesitation. 

Marinn looks so tall in this pic... she is growing up so fast!

Yes, my mouth is open because my mom was having us say, "Jacuzzi time!!"

Nap time by the fire...

Shaw was napping by the fireplace in this super cozy afghan my mom made. He's just too cute for words!

Looking for some milk

I was sitting on the couch with Shaw and it was about time to eat for him.  I reached to hand him a toy and he grabbed my arm and was trying hard to get some milk.  He had a death grip on my arm and there was slobber all over it.

Pleasant Boy

Shaw is such a big boy… he has been sitting and playing so well.  Today I put him down in front of this toy and he was having a blast.  

Shaw is a drooler.  I’ve never used so many bibs in my life.  He sometimes soaks through 3 in a day. 

Notice Shaw is sporting his trendy cloth diapers. 

People are always telling me that Shaw is such a happy baby.  They frequently ask me if he ever cries.  He really is great and I always tell people he is a happy boy.  He will always smile when people talk to him, he’s always wiggling and rocking and just having a good time.  I think a great word to describe him would be pleasant. 

pleasant

adjective

1  enjoyable, pleasurable, nice, agreeable, pleasing, satisfying, gratifying, good; entertaining, amusing, delightful, charming; fine, balmy; informal lovely, great.

Hauling some Wood.

Marinn and Taurin are pro wood haulers…

They are all about the accessories; notice the gloves.  It makes me laugh how huge the gloves are but they still insist on wearing them. 

Taurin insists on carrying the largest piece of wood possible. 

They make a great team.

I just think this picture is cool.  I was trying to get one with nice natural lighting but it was really overcast outside.  I snapped this one as Toto was zooming by me. 

Baby holding Baby

I was changing Shaw on my bed the other day... there was one of the girls babies laying next to him. He reached his hand out an scooped the baby up.  He was trying to eat the baby's hair but it was so cute how he had his arm wrapped around it.  By the time I got the camera it wasn't quite as cute and snuggly but at least I almost caught it.

Taking a ride on the poop train!

This weekend Popsie what cleaning up the poop off the back yard.  Marinn for some reason really wanted to help.  She was the official poop bucket holder.  He would say, "Here's some more." She'd diligently move the bucket to the location and wait for Popsie to flick the poop in the bucket.

This went on for quite some time... there was a lot of poop.  But she stuck with it until the end.  A few times she just had a gross look on her face but she never complained or gave up.

She would sit on the bucket and scoot along to the next location.  Taking a ride on the poop train!
