Happening with Baby

Would you believe that Daniel likes to sit and read during his leisure time? Well, here he is! He can read novels UPSIDE DOWN! Yup, this is what he does when he's hanging out with Grama (while grama knits).

Look who likes to help Grama make socks and hats!

Not a kiss, not a bite, just a raspberry!

People can't call him, her anymore! I never saw that he looked like a she, but I've made that mistake with other babies before.

Hoola Boy!

Scott is quite good with the hoola hoop! He swings that hoop longer than me, Simon, Micah, Uppi, Grama and Susan put together...maybe longer! We watched and tried to learn how to swing like him, but we just couldn't do it. Micah is pretty good too but not as good as Scott. Now I need hoops for his arms, neck and legs. With all the hoops going he'll then learn to balance on Micah's hands, who will be standing on his dad's hands, with Daniel balancing on his own head juggling torches! WOW HUH!

Scottie

I walked into the living room and had to stop to find the camera as Scottie was putting a ball on his napping dad's ear and a stuffed shark on his temple. I put the camera away and checked on baby, then walked back out into the living room and saw Scott trying to put the ball on his own ear and the shark on his own head.


One day Daniel was whining and I remembered emptying a plastic tote. I put the baby in it and pushed him around and Scott took over. They had a lot of fun.

I don't remember the story on why Scott had swimming goggles on while Grama was reading to him. I wish I could remember!

Simon

Simon has been busy these past few years remodeling our house. Here he is working on the electrical a few days ago. A couple years ago one of his many projects was to set up our diesel truck to run on used vegetable oil. It sure was wonderful to take long trips with a bunch of filtered oil from restaurants! Busy Guy!

Simon multi-tasking. Talking on the phone and taking care of the baby!

Since Micah learned to stand, Simon had him balance on his hands...on the bed. Now that Micah is older he can balance on his dad's feet...on the hard floor! Scott is still practicing to stand on hands.

Daniel and Simon hanging out. One day I'll have a singing circus because one of these days Daniel will be able to sing as beautifully as his brothers, and balance on his dad.

This and That

I've been very frustrated with my computer. I tried 3 different times to upload video clips (which took about an hour each time) for family who live out of town. I wish I spent the time fixing and uploading pictures instead. Now that I'm not busy or too tired to sort and fix pictures, here are a few random recent pictures.

Balancing acts.


A bath and Scott making bread with grandma.

Valentines Day Pictures

The Valentine Fairy from Craig gave my boys bug eyes!

The boys, with the help of my mom, made a chocolate birthday cake!

Frosting and decorating. Micah sprinkled the topping while Scottie put the decorations in ONE BY ONE!!! He enjoyed pressing every single sprinkle into the frosting, it was finger lickin good!

I didn't notice that Micah was licking the butterknife after every slice he cut until I saw these pictures.

Guys

A good looking bunch I think!

My thumb sucker. I used to suck my left thumb too.

Ice Fishing

Everyone balancing on the thick ice on a cold, windy day. It was so cold I decided to take a few pictures and bring baby home. I wish that I had pictures of the boys pulling the fish up.



Micah caught 2 and Scott caught 3. Grandma and Uppi fried the fish and enjoyed them! The very next day the boys caught 6 fish total. All dispappeared! Yummy!

Quick catch up

Jan. was my mom's birthday. She requested pies and the boys each carried one pie to her. Someone asked grama, "How old are you"? Scottie immediately said, "TWO!" Notice his two little fingers?

Micah, in his favorite outfit which we don't really mind him using unless there's company, makes holding Daniel look easier than it actually is for him. Micah sounds like a broken record when he is trying to make Daniel smile, "Hi Daniel, hi daniel, hi daniel." Daniel is grabbing hair, cheeks, arms and he LOVES the vinyl tablecloth cover! He's been drooling like crazy for a month now and still no teeth.

Uppi's balancing act with grandchild number 5! First Mitchell, then Danielle, then Micah, then Scottie and now Daniel.

In December Scott learned how to whistle! It's a low, soft whistle. The only other person I know who can whistle like this is Grama Sergie. My dad whistled like this before but forgot how.
