Addy's Admirer

This morning when I dropped Addy off at preschool, her teacher gave her this beautiful plastic ring from a little boy in the class, Jason. He told the teacher he had brought it for "the pretty girl with the cool glasses." A few weeks ago Jason's grandma told me that Jason said Addy was his girlfriend. WHAT?!! This isn't supposed to start happening for at least 10 years. I guess Matt better get his gun ready (that would be if he owned a gun). Actually, I think it's pretty hilarious, because Addy has absolutely no concept of boyfriend/girlfriend, and just takes it all in stride.

Caught Red-Handed

This morning I was upstairs doing something, and I heard McKay dragging the stool along the floor in the kitchen. I figured he was probably heading for the cupboard where we keep the goldfish crackers and other treats he likes. Well, when I came down a few minutes later, this is what I found. He was scraping the frosting off the top of a pan of brownies that I had forgotten were sitting on the counter. My first impulse was to scold him, but he looked too cute, and had such an innocent look on his face that I had to take a picture. When he saw the camera he just grinned. Hope I'm not reinforcing bad behavior :).

Pretty in Pink

Addy got her first pair of glasses on Friday! I wasn't sure she would want to wear them, but she has been really good about it. I think I was more worried about her needing glasses than she was. Her preschool did a screening and referred her to an eye doctor, who told us she is far sighted and needed glasses. It's possible she'll grow out of it - we'll hope! Meanwhile, she looks pretty cute in her pink glasses.

Kids Pictures

Here are some pictures of the kids we had taken in May. I just barely got the CD with them on, so that's why I'm so late getting them up. McKay wasn't too sure about all the picture-taking stuff, but Addy was all ready to become a model - she posed just so and smiled her best smile. It was pretty cute.

Beautiful Temple Square

Matt has been saying lately how beautiful the flowers are around Temple Square right now, with General Conference coming up. So this afternoon we met Matt at work and walked over to the plaza and ate lunch and admired the amazing flower gardens. The kids thought the water was great.

Life Cereal, Anyone?

Life is Addy's favorite kind of cereal, but we don't always have it because I'll only buy it if it's on sale. Well, I bought some the other day, and I pulled it out of the cupboard this morning and asked Addy if she wanted some. Her face lit up and she started cheering and clapping. You would think I'd bought her a pony. Then, of course, McKay started cheering and clapping, just because Addy was. It was so cute, I had to take a picture. I think Quaker should pay us a lot of money for these pictures, to use as advertisements, don't you?
