Pictures, Pictures, Pictures

Finally got the pics off of my camera so thought I could post some pics from over the past several months.

Kids are AMAZING!!!

I really need to do better about blogging since I've not been very good about writing in my kids' journals. Hunter is definetely 2! He is into everything and throws fits when he doesn't get what he wants. There are days when I really hope her grows out of it...and soon! He is also a crack up. He loves to sing "A Boom Chick-A-Boom" all the time. He learned it at family summer camp. (We LOVE family summer camp)!! He doesn't like to perform in front of people, but then other times he sings up a storm. He is the class clown of our family. I can't believe that a 2 year old can tell a joke, but he actually does, and it's funny too. A couple of weeks ago we were in the car coming home and he said, "Ewwwww! Mommy my finger is stinky with poop!" Me: "What? Did you poop in your diaper and then touch it? Keep your finger up, don't touch anything we are almost home!" Hunter: "Ok, mommy. My finger really stinks. Look Paige I got poop on my finger." Me: "Okay we are home now, let's go wash your hands and change your diaper. Wait! There's no poop on your finger and you don't even have a poopy diaper!" Hunter: "Ha ha mommy! I was just joking you! Just kidding. That funny!" I can't believe that he's trying to trick me. He's is quite the jokester. Now Paige on the other hand is starting to come out of her shell. When she started kindergarten she was too nervous and shy to stand in front of the class and resite her nursery rhymes, but now she will. She LOVES kindergarten!!!! She brings a book almost everyday to class and reads to her classmates. She is now obsessed with dinosaurs and loves to watch Dinosaur train on pbs. Her and Hunter tell everyone about herbavores, carnivores and omnivores and quadripeds, bipeds, etc. She is like a little sponge. Her teacher thinks that she has a photographic memory. The other day she watched the show and by the end of it she memorized the Dinosaur ABC's. That means that she can name a dinosaur for every letter of the alphabet. I watched the same show with her and can name only a few. There are some names that I still can't even pronounce! She is quite amazing. Starting on Monday she is going to be attending a 1st-2nd grade class for reading since she's already reading at a 2nd grade level. As for me, I just got back from Fresno. I was there to help Delight while she gave birth to Moana (Mo-Anna) Abish Lydiate. Delight was amazing and it was such an incredible moment. It was cool to be on the other side of the birthing process. I've never seen a birth, except for my own children. Our bodies are amazing things and birth is such a miracle. That was definetely an experience that I will never forget.
