I was able to play with the kids (Tyson was at pre-school) while Emily choose pictures she had taken of Annaly at 6 months.
Corbin was too excited playing with his toys to look up and smile. He knows what he is doing......I would ask him to look at me and I would get him looking down with a sly smile on his face.
Of course when he did look up, I moved the camera! There's my boy!
This one slays me with her beautiful eyes! I love how she can sit up all by herself and tries to play.
After many shots of Annaly just staring at crazy grammie, I was able to get a few quick smiles from her!
A few weeks ago I joined the Evasnston Classifieds on Facebook (along with the Bridger Valley and Kemmerer ones). Most of the time the stuff on there isn't worth bothering about or is already sold by the time I see them but I have been lucky a couple of times. One afternoon, I saw the FREE stroller on the Evanston site. I wondered if Janessa would want it but since she was at school, I didn't know if I should get it or not. A few minutes went by and I saw that no one else was commenting on wanting the stroller, so I decided to go ahead and tell the girl giving it away that I would like it.
Janessa and I went over to Evanston and got it. The story behind the stroller is that the girl collects strollers. She has several children with her last child being a girl. Since she had all boys before this baby, she decided to buy everything pink so she was giving this stroller away. Yea for Janessa! The stroller had been in the back of my car but Janessa came over tonight to see how a car seat fits on the stroller.
I wish I could have video'd the trouble we had at first with the stroller! We couldn't stop laughing while we were trying to figure out how to open it up! I went to the computer to look at youtube videos but found nothing. Went to the Graco website and finally found instructions but in the meantime, Janessa was pushing the stroller down the hallway to the computer while it was folded. Oh my! It was hilarious! Finally Janessa figured it out so we went back to the front room so she could practice! Yea!!! It does work and it looks like it will be great with the infant seat! Janessa plans on going with her 3rd grade class to the zoo in May with the baby and her "nanny" (me) so wants to be ready....I hope she remembers how to open and close the stroller now!
Can't figure out how to delete this one.
I was also able to tell Janessa about a nice crib on the Evanston classifieds for $100. After looking at cribs in Ogden, she bought the used one. I think she got a good deal! I can hardly wait to meet baby now!
And just because.......Ashley took pics of Josie awhile ago and posted them to Facebook. I hate not having all the kids on the blog so have to share this darling pic of our darling sweetie! Love you Miss Josie! (25 months)
The boys came over the other night to play. Whenever they come over, they now have to run around with grampie. This was the game Tyson made up.....when he touched you, you had to be frozen until he ran around 3 times. After his runs, then you could move again. Jason is tagged so has to stand there until Tyson comes back. I love how Corbin talks to his daddy! Grammie does not play these games. LOL!
Bridger Valley now has a classified section on Facebook so I joined. So far I have been able to get a FREE stroller for Janessa and then I bought this rocking horse and the table and chair set online.
The kids came over to play one night. Corbin wasn't too sure about the rocking horse but right before they went home, he got on it and played. Looks like he enjoyed it!
First I had to get a picture of our lil' one who is growing up! Annaly is 5 months old!
Happy 31st birthday Emily!
Tyson bought his mommy a necklace for her birthday. He picked it out all by himself!
Emily had mentioned that she wanted a Magic Bullet like what Janessa's in-laws gave her for Christmas so I bought her this Cuisinart one that is similar. Hope she likes it!
Janessa turned 26 on January 10, 2012. We had a family dinner at pizza hut. Here is her birthday cake! She got a knife set along with a cutting board from mom and dad.
Happy Birthday Janessa!
Tyson is such a big boy! Hard to believe that he was born 5 years ago! He had a family party a few days after his birthday so Emily's parents could be here to join in on the fun.
Janessa's present. Such cute hats that she had made for each of her nephews and niece!
We gave him a Leapster pen and books. It is suppose to help you learn to read.
His parent's (dad) gave him tickets to go see a Monster Truck show in Utah!
