Michael II walking

I am sorry that I have not posted this before I have had a hard time trying to with our new computer. Then I give up and went back to the old computer to post this video. Michael has been walking for almost three weeks now.

This is Michael trying to walk he so excited to do so.   When he first started it was fun to watch his face when he took the first step.  The look was why have I not done this before and this is fun.  Kaylene is having fun trying to get him to walk to her.  This will come soon I am sure but he is not wanting to walk to her at this time.  He is also not one to perform when you want to show others that he can walk. And when you want him to walk on his own he will pull back on your hand with all of his weight and will not move at all.  This video is the first night he was walking on his own.

I thought he was into everything before and climbing all over things but now that he is fully walking it is 2x as bad as I thought it would be

Easter Story in Eggs

I have been looking for something like this for sometime.  I have seen simaler one but this is the one I found since having kids. I found this on a great blog chocolateonmycranium.blogspot.com. She has posted some great idles about teaching our children about Christ.

Cut apart the following scriptures and put them in corresponding numbered plastic eggs. Add the appropriate item (in parentheses) except for the 12th egg, which should remain symbolically empty. Serve the eggs in a decorated basket. Begin with egg #1 eleven days before Easter (March 27th this year) so that you open #12 on Easter.We like to look up the scripture references and read straight from the scriptures. All references are for the King James version of the bible.

1. Matthew 26:39 (sacrament cup or small cracker)
2. Matthew 26: 48-49 (chocolate kiss)
3. Matthew 26: 14-15 (3 dimes) This fulfilled the prophecy in Zechariah 11:12-14.
4. Matthew 27:1-2 (knotted twine)
5. Matthew 27:15, 17, 21, 24-26 (chunk of hand soap)
6. Matthew 27:28-30 (square of red or purple fabric)
7. Matthew 27:31-32 (small nail)
8. Matthew 27:50-51, 54 (crushed rocks)
9. Matthew 27:57-60 (strip of white cloth)
10. Matthew 27:60, 62-66 ( a small, flat stone)
11. Mark 16:1, 2-6 (bay leaf or other herb)
12. Matthew 28:5-6 ( empty)


Happy Easter!

Pacifier War

I have been trying to take away Kaylene pacifier for 6 month now.  She has been so attached to it that if we travel witch we do not do that often she has to have it the whole time if she did not have it she would just scream.  I know some of this was me it was easier for me to handle the trip. She had to have it to sleep and to calm herself down when she was upset and would just find one and suck on it even if she did not need it. Well as of last week the pacifier is gone.  About three weeks ago I cute the tip off of her pacifier.  She did not like it but she still wanted it.  So this time when I could not find where it had been placed I told her that she could have my baby doll from when I was a little girl.  When I took out my baby doll I told her her name was MaryAnn.  It worked she has gone a week with out the pacifier and has sleped better then she had in the last few months.  One down and one to go.

New look to the wall

Suger and Flour

 I try not to be on the computer when the kids are up, sometime it does not happen.  Today was one of those days when I was on the computer when the kids where awake.  I did not think much of it today the kids had been good all morning. So as I was looking something up for Michael the kids where playing quitly in there bedroom so I thought.  This is what I found insteed.

Michaels 1st Birthday

I can't believe that Little Michael is 1. I am not sure where the time has gone.   We have had a great day even though the celebration was over by 2 pm and then he went to bed for his nap. I made my first ever Truck birthday cake. Kaylene has been talking about Michael birthday for almost a week as I looked at cakes and made balloons out of paper. 
On top of the great day Daddy was home for some of the day. Michael's class had been canceled then he went to work
