Pictures on a Sunday Afternoon


I love having 9:00 church. I love having the whole rest of the day to spend with my family, baking, or visiting people, or just spending time with McKay and the babies.

Making tortillas from an awesome Pinterest recipe HERE
Taking a break from playing to play with her favorite Christmas toy (thanks Grandma Eatough!)

And playing again. This toy is the envy of all when we have Tyler and Jamie's friends over.

Here's Tyler's little tortilla he made and devoured himself.
The most exciting part of the day! Tyler was picked for spotlight today in Primary, and it was a BIG DEAL. He ran up to the podium, and he just grinned and grinned the whole time. Every time the Primary counselor would read off something, like "Tyler loves to play with dominoes," Tyler would gasp and yell "I like to play with dominoes!" He got a red dog named Spot for being the spotlight that day, and it has not left his side. Or head.

A sad but pretty girl.

I know she's crying here, but she just looked so cute in her yellow and black outfit, I had to share. Love the warm weather lately, we've been busting out all of Jamie's summer 18M-2T clothes, and they are so so cute. Is it bad if you hope your toddler spills lunch on her clothes so she can wear more than one outfit that day? Or maybe she just has too many clothes.

"Byyyyye."

Jamie has recently been really interested in saying goodbye to McKay every morning as he drives away for work. We have to sit on the porch and wave for a good 90 seconds while McKay gets in the car, backs out of the driveway, and then drives away. Yesterday this game evolved into saying goodbye to ME, closing the door, and then running away with McKay.

Catching me opening the door.

Saying, "Nooooo. Bye! Bye!"

"Byyyyye."
And reset.


Here it just sort of descended into madness.

Blow Flowers

With all this crazy rain we've been getting, our backyard has bloomed into a magnificent field of dandelions, or as Tyler calls them, Blow Flowers. It seems like ten new ones open every day, so instead of just mowing the lawn or spreading weed killer like a normal person, I send the troops out to thin the dandelion population.









I've heard various reports of Daddy trying to coax ants onto the fluff to send them flying, like Flik on A Bug's Life, but no confirmations :)
