Dad you're an ogre

Last Sunday Emmie was in the bathroom with me while I was putting on my makeup. John comes in a shows Emmie his big bugger. Emmie didn't even care to look at him and said, "Dad, you're a ogre."

Happy 5th birthday Will!

Will turned five yesterday. On Saturday we went swimming and ate pizza with my side of the family. On Sunday, his real birthday, we had birthday cake and ice cream with John's side of the family. We love birthdays. I'll post some pictures later.


Will is great. He is growing up so fast. Kindergarten will be wonderful for him. Lately Will has been just so awesome. He has been such a great helper for Jason. Jason just loves him.

Will's personality is kind of hard to describe. Sometimes he is so shy. Like yesterday in church he was so embarrassed to stand in front of the primary for them to sign to him for his birthday. But, then when ever he has to talk in the microphone in primary either saying a talk or saying a pray he totally blows me away at how great he does. He gets so embarrassed when John and I try to play pretend with him. When we get ready to leave somewhere John will say "To the bat van, kids," and he gets so mad. But he'll play house with his cousins and army with the neighbor kids. I can't figure it out.

Of course. I think that Will is so smart. He is smart because he makes very good observations about thing and learns from it. He can pick out very easy why things are different or the same. He can remember things that happened when he was only two. He uses big words and explains him self very well. The other day he was telling me a story and in his story he said - "And then I realized...". One time Emmie was running around naked and he told her that she was being "inappropriate ."

I love Will. I am so glad that he is the big brother in our family, I need him.

Emmie the artist

In the last few months Emmie really has developed quite the artistic talent. She could color and draw all day long. I love her little pictures that she likes to draw. Here is a picture of our family.
