1st Fat Lip

AJ was running to look outside and crashed onto the hardwood floor. He hit his head pretty good and his front teeth hit his lip. After some loves he didn't seem to mind very much. He liked that he got to eat ice for a little while. AJ thinks ice is like ice cream, he LOVES it! He's pretty easy to please. So here is the first of what I am sure will be many (he's an active little one) fat lips!

Bird Watching

When I was growing up I used to love to look out and see the quail running all over our property. There were several times I would drive in and sit in my car and watch the mommy quail and her little chicks follow her down the driveway. I thought it was neat living with a covey of quail. Well, I finally have another bird I can watch. We have a pheasant living by us. I have seen it several times. It has been in our front yard and our back yard. I got out the camera to take a picture the other day, but as I opened the door, AJ yelled out, "Bird!" I got one quick shot before it went behind the shed. FYI Did you know that quail are members of the pheasant family?

It's Official!

I went in front of the City Counsel on Wednesday night and was officially granted my business license. My preschool's name is "Happy Hands Preschool" It will open in the fall of 2010! I will be meeting with a graphic design artist on Tuesday to develop a logo. I have in mind what I want... little kids hand prints like they have been dipped in tempra paint with a smile in the palm. I figure that way my students can make a logo for themselves on the first day of school! We'll see how it all comes together! I'll post the logo when I get it!

Update: Here are my logo's! I have a horizontal one and a vertical one. I have also created a website (with a lot of help from my nephew, Bryson---THANKS BRYSON!) Check it out... happyhandspreschool.net

The Future's so Bright...

The future's so bright I gotta wear shades (just like my Daddy)!

I do it!

AJ won't be 2 until June, but he is already asserting his independence. When we go to the park he wants to go down the slide all by himself now. AJ was having a blast! Griffin was content being all snuggled up!

Handy Manny

Since I have been home I have discovered the new cartoons for kids. AJ's favorite is Handy Manny. It happens to be on during Good Things Utah...oh the sacrifices we make for our children. ;) Maybe one day we will get a DVR.

Griffin is Smiling!

It has taken awhile, but I can officially say Griffin is smiling as of May 1st! Although I haven't been able to get a real good picture yet. Here is the closest I have been able to get. He's a cutie patootie!
