Tomato-Napper & School Days!

Another update! I gave up on trying to sort through the vacation pictures and decided to just move on to current pictures, because they are so cute!
Harrison in his "My First Colorado T-Shirt" from Grandma!


So, David and I have been nursing these two little tomato plants for months now...just anticipating the greatness of a nice BLT when we finally had a tomato ripe and ready for picking. Early last week we could tell we had one tomato that was getting very close to being ready. We were getting so excited and salivating every time we went outside and saw it getting more and more ripe every day. We were soooo ready to eat it...
Apparently, Michael was very excited to eat it too...and he beat us to it...the little sneak!

It was a very enjoyable tomato! There is a video to document the thievery at the end of the posting, too!I missed taking "First day of School" pictures of Sheniah, but here are the "Second day of School" pictures! She is getting so grown up and so beautiful! Most importantly, she is happy and healthy and (most of the time) very sweet and fun to be around!

Silly kid!Later that day the boys got David to tow them around the house in the laundry basket. It was too cute, they really enjoyed it, and of course there is a video of this, too!


Harrison loves the "Nemo" fish from Grandma. They are supposed to be bath toys, but he enjoys them all over the house!


All I can say is "How cute is this?!?!"

Michael did not think it was as cute as I did!

But he did enjoy pushing Harrison around the yard!
I don't understand it...it's like pulling teeth to get them to drink water all day long, but I put them in the bath, they both (more likely than not) pee in it...and there they go...drinking it up!


Finally, more videos! A lot this time, too!

Here is Harrison laughing at Daddy rolling the ball to him and saying "Ball"...the laugh is so cute!

And here are the boys dancing. Sheniah may not have a great future as a cinematographer (sort of "Blair Witch-y")...but it is a great video, especially Michael's squeals of joy!

This is not the greatest visual video, hard to see either of the boys, but it is hilarious...here is the background: Harrison had a cold (little cough, runny nose, the whole bit). The boys were playing in Michael's crib the other morning. You can hear them laughing and talking to each other. Apparently Harrison had a runny nose and started blowing snot bubbles because at the end of the video you can see Michael get a bit disturbed and say something like "Oh gosh" or "Gross" and then he says "Bubbles" and then he stands up and yells for "Momma" and tells on Harrison for blowing bubbles! Hilarious!!

Harrison is working so hard on walking. Here he is free standing...very impressive if you ask me!

And here is the little tomato thief in action...breaks my heart to see that lovely, long awaited tomato tossed around like a piece of garbage this way! haha

*I love the "come back"!!*

And finally the boys playing choo-choo! I, like Sheniah, do not have much of a future in cinematography...but I had to post it for the kiss at the end...too cute!

That is it for now. Hope all is well for everyone, and I will post again soon!

Beach Trip '09

This update has taken me far too long to complete! So, mostly just pictures from our wonderful beach vacation a few weeks ago. The best part was having mom, Jarrod and little "B" along for it!

Grandma and Harrison at the ocean.

Harrison didn't much care for the sand, sun, wind or ocean...he preferred hugging momma!
Michael acted very brave on first approach to the ocean...it took us 5 more days to get him to voluntarily touch the water!

Harrison still holding on for dear life!

The water was okay if someone was holding him and he didn't have to touch it!

The boys preferred swimming in their little pool to the ocean!
Harrison took care of some unruly weeds for Aunt Helen!

Apparently he needed some roughage!
Sheniah and her friend Riana enjoyed boogie boarding!
The three boys really enjoyed getting to know eachother.
Michael tickling Brandon!
He's so cute!
Michael at the ocean...

Great shot of mom with all 4 grandchildren!
And that is not even 1/2 of the pictures from the trip, but I really have been trying to get this update done for weeks! I will call this good for now, and try to get more up later!
Love to all
