Geoff and Christy: February 2013

Some more...

Em does this thing where she tries to stand by very excitedly throwing her hands in the air. She cracks up and then has to grab onto the couch (or me or Geoff or whatever she does it from) again so she doesn't fall over. It is so funny! She can actually stand for a few seconds but when she does this it's just like a game or something. These are the best, blurry, pictures I could get...

I took the girls shopping and put Em in the little stroller (so much easier!). Cali insisted on pushing her around the store. Luckily it wasn't busy because she was all over the place. Haha

On that same day, the kids must have been really tired because all 3 of them were OUT when I got home. Em was easy to put to bed because she's small but carrying the older 2 was rough because they are getting way to big and I am getting too old! Haha!

After she was done eating, Em grabbed a wipe off the table and started wiping her tray. What a big helper! :)

Geoff took a little Sunday nap and Em was crawling up to watch the ducks pass...

I took the kids to the mall and Aedan and Cali found some hats that they loved! I had them pose for me...

Aedan found these glasses and said "Look Mom! I look like Once-ler!" (from The Lorax)...

Em just being cute...

Em had a rough teething night and while I was up with her she just cried and was so sad! I was trying to think of something to help and decided to give her some cold apple slices. It totally worked! She just chewed on them and the cold helped soothe her little gums. Eventually she went back to sleep. :)

Cali and her friend Lilly wore the same shirt to school! They were giggling and showing everyone. :)

They wanted their friend Alexa to get in the picture too (kinda blurry)...

Waiting for Aedan...

Em totally prefers drinking from a cup. I think she is too lazy to hold a sippy up so she'd rather just have you do it or just drink from your cup. Haha

If Em is awake I can't be on the computer anymore. She loves to type on the keyboard and turn the computer so SHE can see what is going on. Luckily I don't need to be on it much so I can just blog and stuff while she's sleeping. :)

Em and Geoff playing one morning. He was swinging her around and dipping her back and she was cracking up...

Em LOVES her blankets!! She especially loves this one that Grandma made her and whenever she sees it she gets a big smile and snuggles it to her face...

While waiting for Aedan, Em decided to try to eat my keys...

Em crawled out of her room the other day with half of her diaper hanging off her bum. I think we've reached that stage where babies take their diapers off. Haha. I guess it's a good thing I don't let my kids go around without clothes on very often. :)

In church Em loves to eat her snacks! She stands in front of me and munches. When we sing the opening and closing hymn she totally dances! Last Sunday she was watching the chorister and started waving her arm back and forth like she was leading the music. All the ladies get a big kick out of it. :)

Em has discovered the kids' kitchen. She loves to open all the doors and play with it. Usually their pots, pans, and food are all put away but she still likes to play with it. She cooks up some good pretend stuff! :)

The missionaries in our ward have seen Geoff's paintings so one of them asked him to paint something on this blank puzzle for his girlfriend (a late Valentine present). So he painted these tulips and I made her some cookies and he mailed them to her. Isn't this awesome!?!?!

Em had discovered the bookshelf with all the kid books. The rocking chair sits kind of in front of it so she's never really paid attention before but the other day crawled over to it. Then she discovered that you can pull the books out! Fun times!!

Aedan had a fever for a few days. It was a fever with aches and pains type of thing. He layed on the couch all day and was super sad to miss school. I took him to the doctor when he said his chest hurt when he breathed but she said everything looked ok. :)

Em was playing with Aedan's Thor and Loki. I just thought it was kinda funny...

I stayed at Cali's school and during recess her friend Alexa hopped on the teeter totter with her. She was hugging her so tight and they were being so silly I thought I'd get a picture of it...

She made a kite and while we walked back to the car she was trying to fly it. It was a little windy so the kite was flying all over the place. She was cracking up...

The kids school had a Daddy Daughter Sweetheart Dance and Cali was SOOOO excited to go! She was excited to pick out her outfit and do her hair and go on a date with Daddy. :) It was so fun to get her all ready. She wanted her hair a specific way and luckily her bangs have grown out so they are just barely long enough to put back. Here is the outfit she picked out first...

But it was too big and the skirt kept falling down so she picked out this dress/shoe combo...

When Daddy got home he brought her a pretty little corsage. I wish I would have had the camera ready to get her face. She was so excited! Her face lit up into a big smile and said "Is that for ME??" all amazed. It was so cute!

Geoff changed into a nice outfit and wore his tie with pink in it :) and they were all ready to go...

While at the dance they had their picture taken (which we will get later) but Geoff took some pictures on his phone while there. He said she had so much fun! She danced and danced (he took some videos) and there were 2 friends from her class there that she danced and talked to. Here she is dancing with her friend Lilly...
