weekly update

this past week has been a busy one

nothing too important but felt busy for some reason.

one morning we were early to school so emi showed us around their playground.

emi always seems to have some weird look on her face

when i am wanting to take a picture of the both of them.

this boy! oh how i wish this wasn't blurry.

but it seems most pictures of him on my cell phone seem to be blurry

i need to pick up my camera a lot more.

i say that all the time but i never do.

 

this was actually from my camera.

this is his new smile lately.

makai loves broccoli and chicken

i didn't get a picture of emi having a melt down

but she was rather sassy and i threatened her with 

not getting to eat broccoli for dinner. she cried and cried.

then when dinner was served, she bartered with me

saying she would eat 5 pieces of chicken for another serving of broccoli.

silly kids!! glad they like to eat healthy.

 

makai is fulling walking this week,

i posted a little video of him walking on instagram

since then he hasn't crawled one bit.

he accelerated really fast from zombie to walking normal.

he is even trying to run, which results in him falling usually.

makai loves this baton emi got

and her necklaces.

i finally found my fabric measuring tape

and first thing he does when i let him play with it

was put it around his neck.

boy needs more boy things, cause he loves girly things.

which is ok...but he also loves cars and trucks.

we finally made it to the park by our house.

emi had a blast even though there are no swings.

she rode her trike all the way there and was pooped by the time we got home.

we need to get that girl a bike.

eddie always says: christmas is coming!!

seems like forever away but really, it's not.

halloween preview.

emi switches her mind daily on what she wants to be

one day she wants to be a minion with makai

the next she wants to be a disney princess

we came across this dress and she thinks it looks like amber's

sofia the first, step sister amber...

everyday she asks if she can put it on for just a few minutes.

drives me crazy. she draws with chalk then rubs it.

i locked her out until i could clean her up.

not sure why she was in her underwear...

we forgot a stroller when we went to the mall

so we put the carrier to good use.

he thought it was hilarious at first but then would fuss if eddie stopped.

later that night our ward had a car show/bbq.....snooze fest!!

our ward is more of the nearly dead and people in their 60's.

most families are about 15 years ahead of us.

and i can probably count on one hand how many young families there are

guess that is what we get for moving into an established neighborhood.

emi was being a brat and didn't want her picture taken. stinker!!

enjoying a carrot from the garden.

we love going to my parents for sunday dinner.

the kids get to spend time with their grandparents

eddie gets to watch sports center and i get a little break.

not to mention a yummy dinner and gpa honey popcorn.

this beanie is a newborn beanie that goes to a girl baby outfit.

makai loves to wear it. it laughs and laughs when i first put it on.

i had to hold him down to take a picture.

no words for this picture.

ok, so we were at costco and emi insisted on trying on the wig

just another costume she wants to be...

ahhh! homework. emi got her first homework 

and it was a nightmare!! so horrible.

she got frustrated easily, if it wasn't perfect she stomped, refused my help...etc

being left handed is hard. i kind of feel sorry for her.

her hand smears everything and messes it up...i foresee more meltdowns. joy!

i make fat beats!!

when eddie and i were first married we lived in the basement of a small house

the owners moved out and rented out the top floor of the house.

we had a slew of fellow renters (drug dealers, physical abuser, and the single dad)

the single dad was super ghetto and one of the first things he said to us

was he: he made fat beats!! like he made mix tapes.

so every time i see someone wear these big headphones

i think of that guy saying that.

eddie and i laughed and laughed about it in our pillows that night.

another blurry picture of mr. magoo.

spending some time in my bed while emi was napping.

the most happy baby i know. he has such a cute personality.

laughs at anything and everything.

another one...looks like he was chewing on the ear phone portion.

he wasn't yelling. this is the last phase of his silly smile.

love him so much!!
