The car Scott drove on our first date has hit a milestone. Keep up the great work, Gold Car.
Scott went to the BYU-TCU game in Dallas last weekend.
The boys and I went to a sandbar hidden within a densely forested area. It takes about 10 minutes of hiking to get there and we never would have known it was there if our friends hadn't led us to it. Fine, nearly-white sand and some shallow, cool water made for a perfect outing. What a great place! Bonus: another fork in the path takes you to an alligator pond! With real alligators!
Way back in September we spent a day at Double Lake. It rained on us the entire time, but the Linford Family, a huge watermelon and some hot dogs made it a fun time anyway.
Joseph could eat an entire melon. Rind included.
His expression for "cooooold!"
Preschool with the Larson boys and I is off to a slow start. But one very popular activity has been "sorting". I give them a pile of items and they sort them into an egg carton. Note: Don't give them edible items again.
Ian really enjoys having a "big boy bed" without a front on it. We took it off a few months ago, and here Ian is demonstrating all the things he can do with it.
When it was time to pray he exclaimed "I can kneel next to it just like Daddy's bed!" After we prayed with him, he asked if we could please leave as he would like to go to bed.
He still falls out every night, but doesn't usually wake up. Once he apparently decided to save a step and just put himself to bed under the crib. It's also not terribly uncommon for Scott and I to come up to bed and find that Ian has sneaked out of his room and is asleep behind a chair in the hall, with only his legs sticking out.
Joseph is fixing to potty train himself. He asks to go to the bathroom all the time and actually goes. He got some underwear for his birthday, now I just need to get up the courage to start. It was only a year ago that we started all this with Ian...
