Baby Baluga

This video is not from the story I"m going to tell. But it was really cute, and somewhat related since Jeremy is singing a part of the same song.

The other day the boys had taken all of the cushions off the couch. They made beds on the floor with them. Jeremy laid down, covered himself up with a blanket, and with his eyes squeezed shut the whole time, he sang Baby Baluga. He sang for about 3 mintues. Then he suddenly said, "Enough!" He opened his eyes, got up, and did something else. It was too cute. I was so bummed that I hadn't recharged the camera battery when it died the night before. Live and learn right!

Ooooh

Mirror Image

About a week ago, Riley started to incorporate mirror images into his writing and drawing. It's petty cool. I would think that writing the mirror image of your name is hard at 4 1/2. I don't think I even thought about doing that kind of thing when I was a kid. He must get creativity, and being artistic, from his dad.

Creative Play

The boys are so creative.

I just love to watch them play.

It's fun to see what they come up with!

Proud as Punch

Jeremy is potty training. He is so proud.

He was sitting on the toilet just grinning. He was so cute.

I couldn't resist running for the camera to take a picture.

Every year we go trick-or-treating with some of our best friends, the Hansens. Serena is Riley's age. The funny thing, we met them in our birth class while I was pregnant with Riley. We became friends a year later after recconnecting at the birth class reunion. We've been GREAT friends ever since.

The boys had a lot of fun trick-or-treating. Jeremy's bucket got so heavy, it was hard for him to cary. He wouldn't let us empty it out. It really slowed him down. He finally let me help him carry it in between houses.

Here I am with Farrah, and Tyler is under there too.
