A day in the life of Mary.

Sometime I read the paper with dad.
He always gives me the section mom wanted to read.

Then I eat.


And play,


and play,

and play.

I get really tired.

naps, walks, cry, go to bed, eat


I like to play in the tub.

Our new wheels

it's a boy

Not to create any confusion. This is Abraham. I'm just catching up on some belated posts.

New Apartment and update

Dan is working in Orem for unicity.
We are living in South Orem in my grandparents basement.
New BBQ grill.

Zepplin rules.

Music Class

Don't know why this post was titled "music class" . . .

Miss Molly

Playing at the Park.

Real food and lovin' it.

Can you say spinach pasta and blueberries?! The blueberries were a given- his sister was a blueberry monster and so is his grandpa.

10 unpublished blogs!

So I was rummaging through my account and realized I'd written/compiled 10 posts throughout the history of this blog that have never been posted! 10! That's about as many posts as I make in one year!
So, I'm scheduling them all now. One to come out each day for the next 10 days. Some are way old, like when Mary discovered that paper was delicious to eat, or when she first really . . . . wait, you'll just have to check back.

Early Morning Walks

It's taken years of work to get Dan out of bed early in the morning, and as you can see my efforts are still unsuccessful. The rest of us are really enjoying the walks along the canal. Breakfast to go is a hit, for all but Abraham.

I guess the stroller was an awesome gift from Dan. His pseudo-presence is noted.

I did make the bed.

M's new play spot. This is generally what it looks like when I get ready to go to bed. I don't know why I even try to make it every morning.

1, 2

M loves Abram's new wall. She count's all the daddy's on the wall. Very cute.

Cute Girl

who's father takes great pictures.

Projects

Been working on a few. My cousin and brother have been helping out.
These are the before and after pictures of the kitchen. It is such an improvement. Thanks guys!

Imagination

Mary pretends all the time now. Here she is playing her imaginary violin. (I can't wait til she's old enough to take lessons.)
And of course she pretends to be a princess, often. At night when we put our pajamas on she insists on wearing her pajama dress, and if you've seen her any other time she is never without a dress. Here she is with a cousin in matching nightgowns. It was a hit.

At last

First was Jasmine.

This is a great picture of M.

Then Mulan.

But the favorite was last, Aurora.

Even Moe enjoyed the princesses.

Princess Line

Lines

We waited in line to see the Disney Princesses for an hour and a half. I'll post the pictures tomorrow. But for now here are some of the wait.

Some of us didn't actually wait in line the whole time, we had snack time near by. But Mark, Derrick, Grandma and Abby did.

Abraham didn't mind waiting either.

Lots and lots of lines. Grandma was a great sport.

Princess. Still waiting.

Vacation

After and hour and a half in line to see the princesses, there were still smiles.
Dan and Abram. Both were good sports.
Amazingly both children took great naps in our awesome stroller!
One of the only pictures we got of Z with his fingers out of his mouth. He's really into pulling faces for the camera.
Sweet Elie. She never falls asleep while being held. Oddly enough she fell asleep during Pirates.


Just a couple pics. More to come.
I love family vacations.

Yo-Yo Ma

Kinda into Yo-Yo Ma.

Maybe Mary will be getting a Cello for her Birthday.

Abe

Abraham has got two new teeth, but not his front teeth, he kinda looks like a vampire.
He's also trying to crawl, but most often it results in face plants.
