Jeremy's "Baby"

It all started with satin. All of the sudden, this last winter, Jeremy wouldn't use a blanket that didn't have satin on it. He would rather go without, even at night. So I had to make sure to always have at least one of the two we had clean at all times. One day we were at Grandma, and he found this blanket. Now it's the only one he will use. He calls it "baby." I have tried twice to leave it at my mom's house. We did so successfully, but he always found it when we went back. And now leaving it, is just not an option. He can't sleep without it. It's, well, a security blanket. He reminds me of Linus (from Snoopy) carrying it around all the time.

He loves to rub it on his face!
Especially on his lips!

One day we were at Target, walking through the baby section. They had all these nice blankets. He looks over and exclaims, "BABY!" He wanted me to hand him one. I handed him the blue one. He told me no and kept pointing. I handed him the green one. He told me no and kept pointing and said, "pink!"

Then a few days ago I was at Joann's fabric. He had interest in absolutely nothing there, that is, until we walked by the pink satin. Then he says, "oooooooh!" And reached for it. I handed it to him, and then he started rubbing his face on it. I have tried to interest him in other colors of satin, all attempts have been completely unsuccessful! What can I say, he loves pink satin!



FHE

We always have Family Home Evening on Friday, because that works best for us right now. It's always a highlight in the boys' week. As we were getting ready, I set this picture on the couch. Jeremy picked it up, grinned and then said, "Jesus! (then a pause as he looked at it) Love Jesus!" It was very sweet!

"Where's a super hero when you need one?"....Well at our house of course!

The mask makes it hard to see who it is, Spidey is Jeremy!

sidewalk Fun

After Jeremy’s nap, Riley started collecting “treasures,” using his treasure map of course. The treasure consisted of dirt, rocks, grass, and whatever else he could find in the back yard. Then he insisted on going to the front yard. After all, he had all the treasure from the back yard. After seeing that his gallon size Ziploc bag was almost a third of the way full, I decided to thwart that plan, by suggesting we do sidewalk chalk instead.

I know it's obvious, but let me point out,

this is Riley's treasure map!










In case you didn't know, Grandma and Grandpa Cook, Riley has been writing his name for a while now. He always dots his eyes, and makes his O's, like that!


This kind of work takes a lot of concentration!
Jeremy running back for a new color.
He says he's tired!

INCOGNITO??!!!



What super hero's? I don't see any super hero's! It's not a disguise. It's just Peter Parker (A.K.A.-Ethan) and his partner....what is The flashes cover name anyway(A.K.A-Riley)?

Funny Story about Me!

Most of the time, I go to bed before Lane get's home. As he gets home after midnight at least 3-4 nights a week. The other morning I woke up to this script on the counter in our bathroom. He gave me a hug and let me know he was home. He wrote "Talking in Your Sleep," at the top of the page. He said the whole time I had this huge grin on my face.

me: Who are you tonight?

Lane: What do you mean?

me: Who are you toinght?

Lane: Who would I be?

me: Isn't there a lady of the house?

Lane: WHAT?!

me: You might be the lady of the house!

Lane: You're being silly.

me: (laughing like a school girl) that's what was in my dream!

Then I just continued sleeping. I don't know where that came from, but at least I was happy in my sleep! Maybe I need to be getting more sleep too!

Day at the Beach





Valane has had the camera at school a lot, so believe it or not, these are our most recent pics. We went to the beach for a day on Memorial Day weekend. We went with our friends, the Hansens. We all had a great time! I"m happy to report, Jeremy learned his lesson the first time. He didn't take a bite of sand this time.
