Nick at 15.75 Months

Nick is a funny kid.  Here are a few random pictures of things he's done in the last week or two.

He likes to stick his head in the shower while other's are showering.  He'll also sit in the bottom of the shower and take a shower.  He won't stand up though. 

Pretending to drink the milk.

Nick's first bike trailer ride.

Sat on Jack's chair at breakfast, pushed him off the chair and ate his oatmeal.

 Loves scissors.  Safe, I know.

 Pulled some bowls out of the cupboard and stood in them (and then pooped).

 Kate took this picture of him in the shopping cart at IKEA.

 Fuzzy, but a picture of his first time standing on his own in the library elevator.  He loved it.

Someone was in the bathroom and Nick really wanted to come in.  He banged on the door and yelled.

Kate's 10th birthday

Kate turned 10 this week!

She requested waffles and bacon for breakfast.

Dave and I took her to El Parasol for chicken tacos for lunch.  Kate requested hers without guacamole and cheese.  

We took our lunch over to the pond to eat.

After lunch Kate's friend Sophi, and her little sister, Anna, came over for a playdate.  Kate got to open one of her gifts.  A Rainbow Loom!

For dinner, Kate requested ham, funeral potatoes, and cloud light crescent rolls.  

Then she got to open her gifts:  $20 from Grandma and Grandpa Judi, a purple watch, Lego Friends, and a book (American Girl: Care and Keeping of You)

 Sheet cake for birthday cake!

General Conference 2014

We asked our stake presidency for conference tickets.  We got some for the Saturday afternoon session.

Jack got to come too, even though he won't be 8 for another few weeks.

We left Nick and Ty at Norm and Melinda's house.  Luckily,  Nick didn't cry the whole time and even took a few naps.  He didn't like making eye contact with Melinda or Grandma Judi.

Kate and Jack were very well behaved and sat reverently during the meeting.  They took some notes.

Jack took notes about Elder Nelson's talk.  He talked about faith and shared a story about a plane ride he was on that was experiencing turbulence.  There was a lady on board that was hysterical and scared.  Her husband told Elder Nelson after they landes that the only way he could calm his wife was by telling her that it would be OK because Elder Nelson was on board.

After the session, we headed back to Draper while Dave waited for Norm and Vaughn to meet him for priesthood.  They had tickets to the priesthood session too.

The ladies took all the kids to IHOP for dinner.
