Pips

I was lying down on the floor doing some of my back exercises from physical therapy and I realized it had gotten awfully quiet. I called for AJ and he said, "Pips" I knew I had to get up and go check it out. I found him at the side of the table with the Penaten Cream. He had it open and was spreading it on his lips. Penaten cream is a cream from Germany, we use it on the baby's bum, but it can also be used for dry chapped skin. Sometimes when AJ gets red skin around his mouth from licking, I will spread it on at night and in the morning his skin is clear. AJ obviously thought it goes on your lips too!

AJ also loves to play with the nasal aspirator. Anytime he gets a chance he brings it to me saying, "Nose, nose!" He knows what it is for and sometimes tries to use it himself!

(FYI In other circumstances Pips can also mean chips.)

Runaway Bum!

AJ thinks it his hilarious when he can run away from you. Mom & Dad on the other hand don't find it quite as funny. But I have to admit, when I got him out of the tub and had to quickly put him down because of my back and I saw his little naked bum running down our hall, I did think it was pretty cute!

1st Park Experience

We took AJ and Griffin to the park when Kurt got home from reserves. AJ LOVES to be outside! He was happy to be able to play outside. Griffin was happy because he was being held; this was his first time at the park. Kurt was happy to be hanging out with his boys and Jill was happy to have her family together! Good times!

Elynn & Family Came to O-town!

Mark's brother Dave was married on April 8th so the Housley family came to visit! Elynn and the little girls came over to our house on Tuesday the 6th. It was nice to have Elynn over to our home. We have been out to her home several times in Kansas, but usually when she comes to Ogden she has so many people to see she doesn't have time to come over to our house we just get to see her at other places. But this time she came over to our house! THANK YOU ELYNN! I wasn't the most gracious hostess because of my back, but I tried. Morgan, Maddie and Reagan enjoyed holding Griffin. I liked seeing them hold him too! They also had fun playing with AJ!

Meeting More Cousins

Mark, Marissa and Rob flew in late Wed. night for Dave's wedding on Thursday. They flew out again on Friday morning so the only time for them to be able to see Griffin was at the wedding reception Thursday night. I was walking kind of gingerly because I had just had an epidural that morning, but I really wanted them to meet Griffin. Elynn had Sallie take a family picture, I snuck in and took one too. So you can see my sister's good look'n family!

Playing Ball With Cousins!

AJ loves ANY kind of ball. When Rob was a little tyke he did too; he still does! When we went out to the wedding reception we brought a little basketball so Rob could play with AJ. Cooper joined in the fun too! (He also loves to play ball!) It was GREAT to see the boys playing together. Rob was REALLY sweet playing with his younger cousins!

Picture Perfect

Allie noticed me taking pictures and came up and asked me to take a picture of her. After I took one she asked me to take another. She was so cute! So here are a few pictures of our adorable niece Allie!
