Baby in the Bath

Sometimes (which means every day) Micah makes a HUGE mess when he eats.

 Usually, it's worse than this. 

 So I get to plunk him in the bath.  Which he LOVES:

 He's trying to catch the water...this might be his concentration face :)

 I love to "style" his hair.

 He doesn't love that!

 Splashing is more his thing! 

10 Years!

Today marks 10 years of being married to the most wonderful man in the universe!

Some friends, sisters and I arranged all the flowers which was one of my favorite (and stressful) parts of the planning of my wedding. 

 Our wonderful wedding party: (The messy hymnals and papers in the pews really bother me....STILL)

 I like this sequence of 3 pictures:

 

 I can't believe that my mom isn't here remembering my wedding day with me, but here are some favorites of my parents.

This one is a "game" Mom and Dad would play when all of us were little called "you take a cheek and I take a cheek"  I LOVE this picture.
 

My gorgeous sisters and me!

 Bridesmaids and me!

 My beautiful parents.  My mom looks so beautiful and happy!

Harvest Days

Luke asked me if there was something fun we could do as a family on Saturday (which was a GORGEOUS day).  I remembered seeing info about Highland's Homestead Harvest Days...So we went.  I LOVE spontaneous fun!!

Kara tried out various fire engines....

Got to ride a pony (named Buck)


Micah just kinda "hung" out...

We learned about cannonballs...

 

 Covered wagons...

 And she got to ride on a "train"...

Micah's First Haircut (and I Wish I Could Take a Good Picture!)

 Micah got his first haircut today, his 13 month birthday!  Here are the before pictures:

Crying because he was a little under the weather and I took his sippy cup away to get a picture:

 Another before.  It was raining cats and dogs so we got soaking wet.  The stylist didn't even need to wet down his hair!

 Handsome, even with wet, stringy hair :)

 During:

 He liked the blocks!

 After...I didn't take one good picture of after.  Not sure why I'm such a dunce with the camera.  But I did have a wiggly subject!

 This one would have been cute!

 And I love his face in this one!

And the blurry cell phone picture:

Swimming 2012

It's always difficult to get back into blogging after I accidentally took a TWO month break!  So I'll just jump in...


Kara is in her 2nd session of swimming lessons this summer (her third time in Level 3).  She's doing great and more importantly, she LOVES it!  I can attach anything to..."Do you want to be on time to swimming lessons?" like finishing her reading or cleaning her room.  Works like a charm.

 Micah started a "Tots" class and it's mainly just getting used to the water.  Mom or Dad is always with him.  He likes to splash!!

  Both Micah and Kara have friends in their classes which makes going to swimming all that more fun!
