Grandma Butler's Visit

Grandma Butler was able to come up with Dave and Kodiak to help fix a few things and bring a few parts for Robert's new car. It was very nice to have her here. She sat pretty much like this for most of the day and allowed me to clean my house. I am so grateful! It has been a battle keeping the house clean with Emmett wanting to be held always. Anabel enjoyed it as well and it helped to keep her out of the way too! Emmett napped on Grandma for a long long time! I think it may have been his first 3 hour nap!

Alestair Found Robert's Belt

Alestair found his dad's belt and decided that ontop of being a cowboy belt it could be used as a hola hoop.

Riding Lawn Mower

Grandma Fee has a riding mower that Alestair loves (its very close to a tractor).

New to us cars!

Since we now have two kids, we decided that although we could all fit in the scion we could no longer fit us and any gear larger than our single stroller. We thought of getting a small SUV but soon figured out that if we were to go that route it would be more expensive and still leave us with the same amount of seats and when we had a third baby or if we were to take anyone elses kids (as is bound to happen now that Alestair has friends) we would again be in a car too small. So folks we have graduated to a Town and Country Mini Van...yes I did say Mini Van...but its a shorter mini van...if that somehow makes it less strange..which is probably doesn't. Anyway we also decided that with two kids we needed to have two cars to be able to get to and from doctor appts and play dates and grocery shopping and the like so Robert found an AWESOME deal on a range rover that he loved and has wanted for a long time. it was in pretty good condition and so we have two cars now. We are much happier. Alestair and Robert did some work on the new range rover switching out the radiator and cleaning up some other things. It now runs great and is a wonderful second car! We do love our van as well. Mostly the space it affords us and the fact that it has helped us get out of the car debt we were in. We highly suggest trading cars in at Enterprise they are not just for renting cars!

First Mall Adventure

So I got really adventurous and took both boys to the mall for a walk and time on the play area for Alestair. Fortunatly for me but Unfortunatly for Alestair we didnt make it that far. Both boys fell asleep before we even got 1/3 of the way to the play area. Wow I love this new stroller!

Whew!

After a long weekend of so much fun Alestair was pooped! He fell asleep on the couch before I could carry him to his bed. He was waiting for Emmett to finish eating and just couldn't make it.

Believing Christ

Alestair loves this book for some reason. He carries it everywhere and reads it (or looks as he can't read and there aren't pictures). Its pretty funny to watch him he reminds me of those college students who are so good at looking like they do their work so well and are so consumed by it.
