what a week!

This week Charlie decided that since he has that crawling thing down it's time to learn a new trick (heaven forbid he actually just be chill for a minute!).  Last week he started trying to pull himself up on everything and this week he almost has it mastered.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I went in to get him after his nap and he was standing there waiting for me.  I am so not ready for this!
look what I did!

Due to the germs that were passed around the house this week, we had a lot of jammy days.  The kids got pretty tired of my attempts to keep them entertained.  Thank goodness for Daddy who was willing to play Chutes and Ladders with them!

Daddy also gave them "Lego Challenges".  He tells them what to build and they dissapear for a few minutes.  Once they completed their challenge they were allowed to take a picture of it. I think their pictures turned out great!
And last in this completely random post is a shot of what I found while getting ready for church this morning.  Eric was reading to Charlie. 
p.s. sorry about the poor lighting in most of the pics.

Joyeux Annivesaire Papou!

Every time I think about my father-in-law I smile (he can really make me giggle!).  I love how observant and careful he is about everything.  I love how he can't stand to wear a shirt that has to be pulled over the head.  Even his jammies are button-down.  I love how he gets so excited to see a big red truck.  I love it when he tries to say a few words in English.  I love that his favorite stores in Utah are Target and Costco!  I love the way he plays and colors and reads with the kids for hours and hours.  I love that he is a pioneer who sought out the gospel, making it possible for me to meet my husband.
Happy Birthday Papou! We love you and we can't wait to see you next month!

right now...

...I'm trying to look at the bright side of having sick kids.
1. I don't have to worry about getting anyone dressed
2. I am saving money on the food budget since none of them want to eat
3. Also saving on the gas budget since sick kids don't need a ride to school.
4. sick kids are so calm and well-behaved
5. I have fewer dishes to do and meals to prepare (see #2)

to top it off this child is teething. (don't let that happy face fool you!)
fun times at our house.
