Catch Up

About a month ago Michael went to Orlando for a company training meeting. We were on a tight budget, but we agreed that he could get something for the family as a souvenir. This is what he came home with. He was worried that I wouldn't wear mine, but he was pleasantly surprised. Rebekah had a hard time NOT wearing it for the first several days in a row. Each time she sees one she says, "(fill in a family name)'s shirt!?" We'll certainly get a picture with Michael in his shirt too. My only qualm about them is that they won't grow with the kids. Bummer. Guess we'll have to go back in 5 years and get new numbers for all the kids. :)





This is a common scene at our house. Patrick's favorite things to play with in the kitchen are the open refrigerator and dishwasher. He could be entertained for hours if I let him. 'Course Rebekah loves to help him out by opening them for him. So here is the culprit with the destroyer caught in action. He also throws a fit if we open one, he notices, but fails to get to it before we close it. Life is so rough for the little guy.









Lastly, Rebekah has finally figured out what stickers are for. First they were carefully placed on her cheeks, chin and nose. Then they made their way onto my foot. Guess I stood still for too long - but I don't remember what I was doing at the time. I now have to hide my stamps so I don't loose $0.42 each time she decides she wants a sticker.

Love those shirts Rachael! I didn't know they made them with more than 1 and 2. The fridge experience sounds very familiar only now Hyrum is old enough to open it by himself. He loves turning the light on and off! Its fun to see your pictures of Rebekah! She's grown SO much since we last saw her.

Those shirts are so cool, how good of your husband to pick out such fun shirts. My son has learned to open the fridge on his own now to and is constantly in there looking for something. It's so appealing to kids plus it propably feels good in there!

Those shirts are the absolute best!! My fridge is always open too, only since we got the new one, they are usually happy just playing in the ice and water dispenser...good and bad :) and it's funny you should mention the stamps, because I was going to warn you, once they find stickers, the stamps become REALLY easy targets :) You guys are so cute...and I always end up with stickers in weird places without a clue as to how they got there too :)
