We brought Aubré in for her institute class. Just as we came into Los Lunas it started raining hard. After it stopped raining Alyxibeth got out of the car and played in the puddles.
Then Samantha had to get in on the action.
Something new in the Window
The other day I saw Alyxibeth standing in the window. Turns out she was trying to catch a fly.
Sisterly Love
It is amazing how time flies and how big our kids are getting. Aubrè was telling me just the other day that she can put her mission papers in in just over a year. That mission age change aged me an extra year! Bring it on!!!
It is so funny to me that my family is getting old yet we have just started again. These two are so cute and bound to be the focus of most of our pictures for the next few years.
Alyxibeth loves to burp Samantha and just today she wanted Samantha in a box so she could push her around the kitchen. Last night Alyxibeth wanted Samantha to stand up on the trampoline and jump with her. That was a trip!
Someone New at Our House
Before Samantha arrived we had been looking at picture ideas for the kids and the family. I loved the ones done like this and I really appreciate everyone who helped to pull it off while I was in bed. I LOVE IT!
Nap Time
It has been so fun having a new baby at our house. Everyone loves her and she is a good baby.
Sometimes I think she wishes she could get more sleep. She has such a helpful big sister, that figured out how to get into her bed, that can’t hardly stand for her to sleep or eat without helping.
Getting the baby ready for church
As we were getting ready for church. James said that he would help get Alyxibeth ready for church. We could hear James chasing Alyxibeth through the house and saying “hold still! Come back here!” I think James got an education on dressing a toddler.
James Taught Alyxibeth a new trick
James showed Alyxibeth a new trick the other day. She remembered and did without any encouragement. We had to make a video and upload it:
What a Helper
Alyxibeth sees me get the stuff out to juice veggies and insists on helping.
She has figured out the on off button, so it takes a while unless I keep her hands full and busy.
Alyxibeth and a chair
As we were preparing dinner I heard a funny noise. I walked up to my chair and saw this:
She is such a silly girl.
A New Take on Watering the Dog
Last week Alyxibeth was thrilled to water the dogs and stick her hands in it. This evening she got all into it. I wish we had rinsed the water dish before she got in!
