Andrew Jeremiah turns 3!
We had a party over the weekend for AJ's birthday. Here's a number of the kids standing by patiently waiting for their cake!
I don't know why these pics turned side-ways. They weren't taken that way. But here is the 'dirt' cake and the 'sand box'.
Right before we sang, Abigail got so excited she tackled AJ! Of course everyone laughed and said that was probably appropriate for a boys birthday!
Here he is in his classroom having 'dirt' cups with his classmates.

Daddy's Home!
Andy got home a week and a half ago! It was great to see the kids so excited and not shy back at all!
After a few days of him being home we went to Monterey, CA for a long weekend. We visited the beach and the world famous Monterey Bay Aquarium. (Abigail took this pic!)

Good Reminder
http://beautythatmoves.typepad.com/beauty_that_moves/2010/07/from-a-very-early-moment-in-my-mothering-career-i-got-it-that-if-you-dont-take-the-time-to-teach-a-child-a-job-or-task-there.html
For some reason I could not put this in as a link but you can still get here by pasting and cutting.
Thought this was a good simple reminder that little ones will not just do a job when told to but must be taught.

Great Idea!
I read in a magazine, a recipe for strawberry frozen yogurt. It is so simple: Blend 6-8 oz vanilla yogurt and 2 cups frozen strawberries, freeze for 30 minutes or serve immediately. I tried this today and my kids love it, they think they are eating ice cream!! I love it because I know they are eating normal, healthy stuff (and no sugar)!

My Take on Mastercards Ad...
Watching my kids play contentedly outside while I cook dinner - $1000
Watching my 2 1/2 yr old son stand and pee in the corner of the fence (independently) - $2500
Explaining to my daughter WHY boys can do that and girls can't - PRICELESS

Wonderful Words
This morning the kids went to the sitters across the street. I rested in the quiet. As we were walking back home AJ had to go poop and evidently couldn't hold it. So we got upstairs and got him stripped down in the shower. I swished out his undies in the toilet and left them to soak. As I was getting him ready for nap I thought I'd multi-task so I sent Abigail to go pee and get in bed. All of a sudden she yells "MOM, AJ'S UNDIES!!!" OMG! Well okay, I urged her not to flush and just get into bed. Okay, she cooperated, thankfully. So I got AJ tucked in and went to deal with the undies now soaking in Abigail's pee. SIGH. (rubber gloves made this not a big deal at all.)
I went back to check on AJ and he hugged my neck and said "You da best mommy ever, ever aw da rorld." WOW, that was all the payment I needed!

Flowers from Friends
A knock at the door generally means one of Noah's friends either looking for him or telling on him, a neighbor needing to borrow something, or Brant with his hands too full to open the door. Imagine my surprise when the knock at the door meant an absolutely gorgeous bouquet just for me. And not just an amazing assortment of flowers and a very cool square glass vase, but even more than that. It was a reminder that two very special women with whom I have shared many experiences were thinking of me and celebrating with me in the completion of the longest, most drawn out undergraduate degree ever.
Rachel and Carrie, I was so blessed by your gift. I immediately carried it outside to show off to my neighbors. I love you both so much. Thank you for your thoughts and for recognizing this significant completion in my life!
