Bug's Life

Sunday, November 6, 2011

In June, the family went to see a Giants game. The kids didn't enjoy it as much as we thought they would. From their point of view, they couldn't figure out that there was a game going on, and they definitely couldn't follow the action. Basically, they just had to sit for a few hours and couldn't get up and run around and play. They did like the kettle corn, however.

Great seats!

And as for me, I got to add "Major League Baseball Game" to my list of strange places I have nursed a baby.

Birthday Birthday Birthday

Summer is birthday season around these parts.

First up, me. In June, I turned

Georgia was excited to hear "Happy Birthday" being sung.

Micah was not.

A few weeks later, Wyatt turned four.

The kid will not smile for anything when I have a camera. This is the best he could do.

Micah has to eat naked. Especially when red frosting is involved.

Opening presents. The Dinosaur Train was a big hit.

At least for Wyatt's birthday he didn't burst into tears. Although I wouldn't say he looks happy.

Wyatt also had his first friend birthday party a few days later. I don't have one picture from it. Boo. But fun was had by all. It took about 3 months for Wyatt to stop asking for another birthday party.

In July, we celebrated Micah's second birthday, at my parents' house. Presents first. Wyatt is always so helpful with the opening.

I guess Micah will smile when people are singing happy birthday to him.

He couldn't figure out how to blow. Fortunately, grandma and Wyatt were there to help.

Cake. Yum.

YUM.

Pictures from June

Here are some pictures from June.

I LOVE THIS FACE.

This kid's hair kills me. I love it. Right now, its pretty long, and I get a lot of comments about the length, but this picture is my explanation for why he had to grow it out. When Micah's hair is short, it sticks straight up. He wakes up and it looks like he got electrocuted in his sleep. It was kind of fun to walk into his room after every sleep and wonder what totally awesome hair I was going to find awaiting me.

She has the biggest eyes ever. EVER.

Over the summer, Wyatt went through a hat phase. He called this his "wild hat," as in, the hat he wears when he goes into the wild. For the record, we have never gone to the wild, but I suppose he just wanted to be prepared. He doesn't wear it any more, so I guess he figured out that the wild just isn't going to happen any time soon. Even if he does wear the hat.

We took the kids to see "Cars 2" at the theater. Wyatt was so excited, he wore all his race car themed clothing. Race car shirt, race car driver hat, race car jacket. During the movie, he kept turning to me and saying, "MOM! THIS IS SO COOL! THIS IS AWESOME!!" Fortunately, the theater was nice and loud, so no one seemed to notice the yelling.

She is just so cute.

Wyatt learned how to cross his eyes. He thinks its the funniest thing ever. "Look! There's two mommies!"

This is my very most favorite Micah face. When he laughs really hard, this is the face he makes. I love his chubby cheeks. And his eyelashes. And his fat hands.

Georgia Eats "Solids"

Georgia turned 6 months (in June), time for solids!

She did great at her first feeding, and then quickly lost interest. She was actually the hardest to get going on solids. It took about 2 months for her to really "get it." She just didn't want to give up nursing! She is doing great now, and loves to eat everything.

Memorial Day in C-Town

We spent Memorial Day weekend at my parents' house. While there, we had the beautiful pictures on my sidebar taken by the fabulous Stephanie Ryan. She did such a wonderful job, I was so pleased with the way they turned out.

We also ate ice cream.

The kids love playing at Grandma and Grandpa's house. There are tons of fun toys, warm weather, big backyard with lots of grass and a POOL. I didn't get too many pictures from this trip. Oops.

On our way back home, we stopped in Modesto for the wedding of Jake's cousin Lesha. My family lived there for several years while I was growing up, and the reception was actually held in our old church building! Before the reception started, we drove around and saw my old house and neighborhood. It brought back so many memories. It was really fun for me, but I think Jake started to tune me out after awhile, after the 467th time I said "OH! And this is where..." or "so and so used to live here and we..." But it really was so fun for me to be there and have that experience. It was kind of weird how many memories I didn't know I had, but came up just from being there. It was really special.

Pictures from May 2011

Here are a few random pictures from May.

Remember how I said that Micah is like a puppy, and how much he likes his head scratched? Well, sometimes he gets a little jealous when Lucy is getting her head scratched, so Jake has to do double duty.
