As of January I now have TWO kids in primary! I was nervous about Johnny leaving nursery, he LOVES it and I didn't think he would like primary as well, sitting still isn't really his thing... He has done great though, the first day he just walked right in sat on the front row and has never looked back. I think the front row actually helps, he says he is winning the race because he is in the front... :)

Last Sunday I asked him about his sunbeam lesson, the conversation went something like this...

"Johnny what was your lesson about today?" -mom

"It was about the lion's den and... who was that guy?" -Johnny

"Daniel?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, Daniel. I was Daniel and the lions were roaring and then at the end the angel laughed."

"Oh, really? Cool. Who was the angel?"

"Um, the girl that I like that is in my class."

WHAT? Johnny is so used to being the little brother and playing with girls it is weird to think he has picked one out that he "likes" more than another...

There are three little girls in his class and we asked all three names but after Steve's teasing he wouldn't admit to liking any of them...

We even had one of them over for dinner that same day and Steve had to ask again if it was her but Johnny hid and wouldn't say anything until the subject had been changed.

It was really cute.

Johnny, our lady killer.

CHEESE!!

Johnny asked to take a picture yesterday, I said he could take three... I guess I'm glad he kept going... besides the 10 pics of my glue gun he took some funny ones of Leo. Leo is on a "cheese" kick again, whenever the camera comes out, he smiles like this and says "CHEESE!" It is one of his clearest words... to bad it doesn't mean he is hungry... it is purely for pictures.

Can't you just hear him saying it... "CHEESE!"

Ballet Ballet

Kyla started her ballet class this week! She has been so excited! She has been wearing a leotard, EVERYDAY for two weeks straight. We made a deal, she could wear it whenever she wanted if she would change when we left the house... she has kept her side of the deal. One morning I told her we were going out so she should get dressed in regular clothes, she thought about it a minute and came back with, "Can I wear it to breakfast and then I'll get dressed?" Great negotiating skills little miss!

On our way to ballet! It was everything she hoped for, she LOVED it!

When she was telling Steve about her class, she couldn't remember her teacher's name "It is like feather or something..." It is Heather... :)

This morning when she woke up, she told me she had been dreaming about ballet... I am happy she is so happy!

Grand Canyon

We made a weekend trip to the Grand Canyon. We haven't been for a couple years, it is one of those places that make parents of toddlers a little nervous...

Steve's sister Amy just moved to Flagstaff and we went with her and her family. It was a fun day, Ky asked if we could go back tomorrow...

Amy, Ian, Brad, Johnny, and Steve.

Johnny, Kyla and Ellie.





My BOYS!





This little guy was in one of the displays, not sure if he was meant to be there or not but all the kids thought it was COOL!




The Fam.

Our favorite, the desert view tower!

Phone Booth

The kids all love to talk to Steve on the phone, Leo even gets in on the action. The other day he brought me the phone and said, DA! We called Steve but he wasn't there so I let Leo talk for a minute, leaving a message. When I said it was time to hang up, Leo ran... This is him in his phone booth leaving an hour long message for Steve.

I bet it was an awesome message!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA SEAMONS!!! WE LOVE AND MISS YOU! HOPE YOU HAVE AN AWESOME DAY!
