Girl time with daddy

Little Bug is a big fan of painting her nails. There is only one catch, as soon as you paint a color on she wants it wiped off. Way to be a good sport Andrew.

Sick days

I am really not a promoter of tv for kids. However, sick days call for it. I remember as a child that when we were sick we got to watch a lot of tv/movies. This totally back fired on me one time in 5th grade when my grandpa was watching my siblings and I. I went to school as usual and came up with this grand idea that if I pretended to get sick I could go home and watch as much television as I wanted. Too bad when I came home "sick" my grandpa told me sick kids only got to sleep. Well, the sleeping only lasted a half hour when I humbly walked downstairs and told my grandpa that I was actually feeling much better and wanted to go back to school. I can still remember the surprise of my teacher and friends as I opened the door to my classroom and took a seat in my chair.

So when Little Bug was sick last week we let her watch some "shows". It is just too bad kids are such fast learners because now she is waking up in the morning requesting "shows, shows, shows..."

Another oopps

Somehow I managed to break another one of our bathroom sinks. If you need a refresher on the first one, go here. In my defense, there was already a big crack in the bottom of our sink. Unfortunately, I was the straw that broke the camels back. While washing my hands I accidentally knocked our glass soap dispenser over into the sink. Suddenly there was a nice newly formed hole. Luckily I'm married to the apartment manager and it was fixed in a few short hours . Little Bug thought it was the best think ever to be "helping daddy"replace the sink. I thought it was the best thing ever that our new sink has a cupboard underneath it, creating badly needed storage.

Recent Happenings

Little Bug takes some serious time checking out those cows at the Little Farm.

I love watching this girl running free.

The Berkeley Rose Garden

I just kept having to go back to this rose. So pretty.

Taking time to smell the roses.

Lyndsay's Wildlife Museum

Apparently, Little Bug is just as horrified of spiders as I am.

And one tasty cupcake class! Yummy goodness.

Pacifica

I love watching these two play together.

Is it just me or does laundry day come up pretty fast?

This is why I have a hard time folding laundry with Little Bug around.

Laundry generally makes me grumpy. It is just one of those things. However, when I came out of my bedroom to discover Little Bug in the laundry basket declaring "sock" over and over again while trying to put her sock on, it made me happy.

At least the concept is there!

Saturday morning

Andrew and I recently discovered we live a few blocks away from a canyon you can hike up. Saturday morning before all the rain came in, we decided to venture up it. Little Bug's favorite part was looking at all the "puppies" walking with their owners. Here she is debating if she can get away from us fast enough to catch up with the "puppies" around the corner.

First A's game of the season

Little Bug joining the cheering crowds by clapping her hands. Hmmm...is it time to get rid of the pacifier?

Favorite things...

When we go to the zoo there are two things we must do according to Little Bug. #1 stare at the giraffes for a very long time. We could even go back to them for a second visit before heading to the car.

#2 slide down the caterpillar over and over again.

Happy Easter!

This Easter we were fairly certain Little Bug wouldn't get the concept of searching for hidden eggs and placing them in a basket let alone the Resurrection. So, we openly displayed her Easter basket for her to see when she woke up. Sure enough she didn't miss it.


She was pretty excited about the whole thing. Evidently, Andrew and I are full supporters of commercialized holiday candy. Yum.




Here she is basking in the glory of her favorite part, the fake grass. Which is a pretty good thing considering we gave away all her candy later that day during an Easter egg hunt.


Of course the holiday would not be complete without some dying of eggs. We actually weren't aware of this fact until we got a call from an unidentified family member who politely informed us otherwise. Much to our surprise, she really liked dying eggs.


We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter and had a moment to be reminded and reflect on the gift given to us by the Savior.
