Hiliary's Graduation

May 24, 2009 ~ Hiliary Graduated from Keuka with her Master's in Occupational Therapy! Five long years! Way to go Hiliary!

Memorial Day

Off roading

Jaden tried a little "off roading" and attempted to drive over a pile of brush, succeeding in getting himself stuck. It didn't slow him down for long however...

Driving

Had a fun day with Bama and Papa on Memorial Day. Ailia even got a turn on the jeep!

The Letter "L"

"I wish I was the letter L."
"Then I could lick, lick, lick, the lollipops."

Around her finger

We think she has him wrapped around her finger...

Outfit

I am not sure if this picture does it justice, but check out Jaden's outfit for our outing to the park today. Navy shorts, striped shirt, plaid hat, and argyle socks ~ all chosen by him!

Relaxin

Can not get enough of these two!

Lacrosse

It turns out lacrosse is a much more difficult sport to play. It takes quite a bit of skill to master. Jaden is the youngest player on the 4/5 year old team. He has worked hard this season. He has stuck with it, practiced, listened, and tried really hard. He has had several blocks, an assist, a goal, and even some fun so far!

Bubble

This morning in an attempt to catch a few more minutes of sleep I pulled Ailia into bed with me. She crawled on top of me, put her head down and proceeded to pass gas. She then looked me straight in the eye and said, "bubble?"

Today's Art

Heh Mom Look at Me!

Unloading the car after swim lessons tonight I hear Jaden say, "Heh Mom Look at Me!"
(Yes I lectured him on the dangers... and then I went and grabbed my camera...)

15 Month Words

I've been trying to remember/keep track of all the words that Ailia is saying. Here's what I've come up with so far (besides the ones I already posted earlier):
book, baby, cow, (moo), duck (quack), fish, apple, meow, sit, down, bye - bye, hi, truck, moon, hello, balloon (boon), phone, I love you (something that sounds like this... or means this...), butterfly, ball, woof woof (for dog), bug, nose, eye, mouth, night-night, hair, shoe (soo), sock, tree, papa, Hila or Hliaila for Hiliary, cheese, peek a boo, cup, bib, water, bottle, turtle, chicken, door, cracker, more, milk, please, head, bubble, and thank-you.

Graves Insanity Smell Sauce

Jaden created this in April. He named the artwork "Graves Insanity Smell Sauce,"

Really Sweet

Sweet Girl

Really, truly, sweet.

Two Wheeler!

We can hardly believe it! Just one month of being four and already riding a two wheeler! He picked it up the first day the training wheels came off (April 28th) and has gotten better every day! If only you could hear the sound effects...

Lovin

These two really do love each other.

Photos

Unless you consider these normal.

Photos

It is getting harder and harder to get a normal picture of Jaden.

Nipple

(Much to my alarm) I have recently developed some kind of skin growth on my neck. While reading books together this evening Jaden put his finger on it. When I told him I didn't really know what it was, he said, "it pretty much feels like my nipple."

Sharp

Jaden: "Mom do you have anything sharp for me to play with?"
