Noisy Toddlers

Nigel and his cousin Elliot were having some type of competition involving breakfast cereal. What could they be thinking? What goes on in their little minds?

Strolling Cousins

Last Saturday afternoon we went to my niece Elizabeth's baptismal service.  She was so pretty in white.  It was really nice to visit with family.  After the service we drove to Buhl Idaho and stayed overnight with my brother James and his family.

Sunday morning they blessed their new baby, Maddison.  She is such a beautiful baby.  Sunday afternoon we had lunch with Brooke and James and Brooke's family in Hagerman.  It was a really nice afternoon and it was so nice to spend it with family.  I didn't do too well taking pictures, but Nigel was really cute playing with his cousin Jaydaka and I did get a short video clip.  Here they are strolling around the driveway.

Hair Jealousy

Lisette and Miles just got back from their Super Summer trip to Flaming Gorge.  Even though it was more peaceful around the house without them, I missed them. Here is Lisette in front of some roses.  Isn't her hair cute?  Melinda, Lisette and Saffron now have pink stripes in their hair.  Our friend with breast cancer had a pink hair party because she didn't want anyone to shave their head for her.

Miles doesn't plan on getting his hair cut until after The Hobbit comes out in December because he wants to be an elf.  Does anyone have a spare set of prosthetic pointy ears?

Here Miles is teaching Nigel how to mop.  Either he's trying to teach him life skills or he's pulling a Tom Sawyer and trying to get him to do his jobs for him.  

Ian is in the eleven year old scouts right now and he and I are going on some camping trips this summer. Ian's excuse for not cutting his hair is that he is a Nazarite -  and we all know what happened to Samson when he cut his hair. (Also, like a good Nazarite, Ian won't touch dead animals either).  

Here is Saffron with the first vegetables from the garden.  She doesn't want to cut her hair either.

Nigel's hair was getting just a little crazy, so yesterday he got it cut.

Can this be the same little boy?

Nigel and I are the only ones committed to having short and naturally colored hair.  

Why haven't I posted the pink stripe hair pictures yet?  It's too late and it's too much work.  Maybe later.  Stay tuned.
