Abigial loves to do what Mommy and Daddy do. Scary...Huh... Who would want to copy Preston and I. Preston is always squishing bugs with his shoes and of course Abigail loves to watch. So, one day she came screaming, "Mommy...Mommy...look...look..shoe...buggy". Yep, you guessed it. Having already been stung by a bee becuase she tried kicking it. She had learned that just squishing them with her shoe was a lot easier and safer. The excitement in her face says it all. And of course since I take a million pictures of my kids, I couldn't pass up this one.

We had a really fun time with Grandpa and Grandma Barlow when they came up for sunday dinner. I think that is one of the many favorite things I love being able to do now having a house of my own. Always being invited over to dinner at their house is a lot of fun. But when you can reciprocate that love back and have them over to your own house is priceless.

A Face Only a Mother Could Love!!! J/K Aaron cracks me up. He loves to get food everywhere when he eats. If he could reach it, he would get food on the ceiling. Thank heavens for vaulted ceilings.

This is the video I took of Abigial just after I got her calmed down from receiving her first bee sting. I love that she is so dramatic when it comes to sharing her feelings. It's adorable.

Last Saturday we picked up some chinese food at Royal Jade Restaurant. So far it's the best we have found up here in Layton. I guess we didn't put the leftovers up high enough in the fridge that night because Sunday morning, when Preston and I came downstairs, we found this lovely picture. At least the kids had a really yummy breakfast of cold chinese food.

If I have the chance to take a nap I usually wear my eye mask which helps block out all the chores that I still need to do. This sometimes allows me to relax for just a few minutes each day. (emphasis on the sometimes, honestly, how many mothers actually get a nap each day.) However, one afternoon I couldn't find my eye mask. As you can see, Abigail snatched it so her little Doll, that she got from her Aunt Desiree, could take a nap.

I love Aaron so much. He is so adorable. I love how sweet and innocent his face looks before he's about to do anything sneeky. I thought it would be a great idea to let Aaron feed himself. The following pictures show how wrong I was. How is it he can get applesauce everywhere but in his mouth.

Aaron loves to help Daddy with the dishes. Yes, Preston does do the dishes. Thanks to a wonderful Mother-in-law, I have a wonderful husband who doesn't mind helping out with the kitchen, the laundry and even the bathrooms. Sorry girls, he's already taken.
