Playing with the camera and Photoshop

I don't know much about either yet, but it's fun to play.

This one isn't special, I just thought it was cute. Connor reading the Ensign (church mag) to Serena.

Sleep

Okay, activites have been piling up for a week now and I have finally found the time to blog. Lately either Connor or Serena will not nap during their designated time so that Mommy has down time, and the boys have been AWEFUL at going to bed at night. Last night was the last straw. This morning Mike and I sat down with them and had a long discussion. Connor put his head in his shirt, so I knew that he knew he was upsetting us. We layed down some more rules and harsher punishments, and hopefully tonight will go smoothly. The past 5 nights they have not layed down in their beds until after 11pm. and get up before 7am. They were wearing US out! I don't know how they have survived.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

In honor of Mexico's independence, we decided to have a yummy Mexican party. We all contributed ingredients for huge stuffed burritos, then we each added a side dish and dessert. There was oh so much yummy food! Brenda brought a soup called pasole (sp?) that I never had before and was very good. The two pregnant ladies! I'm glad that's over for me! Andy is holding Serena. Seems weird that he is holding a girl huh!Of course the kids get the table because they outnumber us!

Connor was being such a skunk that day (probably lack of sleep and choosing to not eat a few meals). He decided he wanted to eat on top of the sandbox by himself.

I made homemade churros for dessert (they are really easy) and key lime pie. That's my garden in the backround. It mostly dirt now but hopefully it will be lush and green this summer!

Action shot. Look closely at Connor and Ewan. Doesn't it look like Connor is going to beat Ewan with the bat?! (I don't think he did!) But you never know with those toddlers! Minivan car lot!
