Bringing up new things

It is amazing how life sneeks up on you. One minute it is Easter and the next its your birthday. Where did 27 come from? I remember when that was old. Grown ups having babies and families. Oh well.

V has kept us entertained and full of joy and love. Here are few things that he does.

1. Write on himself with a pen.

2. Pull the chair to the sink to put things in it. Anything really.

3. Says Bodie for play-do. And then eats it.

4. He likes to get a set of keys, my purse, and a Bubba Keg and then go outside with it.

5. He takes his wagon for a walk. I am not allowed to touch it. He also has to hold the keys when we check the mail.

6. He likes to get into the drivers seat of the cars. We ran the battery down on the Jetta that way.

7. He tells us no and crosses his arms.

8. He thinks that horses are cows.

With M's job they just changed his schedule. He now gets to work sundays and have saturdays off. I want him to find a new job. Or get one on base. Dang it. We are still looking for places to buy and/or rent. We need smaller payments.

I have been put into a new calling. I am the Nursery Leader! AAAAHHHHH oh and the best part is we currently have 19 kids in there. And only two of them are going to be going into Primary in January as of this moment. And we have like three coming in by the end of the year. Oh no wait I mean we have 20 kids. We just got 2 new kids because they moved into the ward. So yeah that is challenging.

And that is what is new with us up here in North Dakota!!!!

Easter Fun and other stuff.

Ok So Easter isn't until tomorrow, but we have had some easter fun already. Today the Zoo held an easter egg hunt. We waited in line and got excited about the geese we could see. We paid our two dollars and roamed the Zoo while we waited for our turn to hunt eggs in V's age group. So where did we go first? Up the stairs into the gift shop where they had turtles, snakes, frogs, lizards and fish. V had a great time. We saw deer and camels, giraffes and wart hogs. There where tigers and lions. Leopards and bears. And as we walked the path by the river some geese were at the fence. V wanted to grab them. I knew that if he got close enough they would see if he had anything to feed them. He didn't. We made our way back to hunt eggs and he got so excited. He was so excited he even helped put eggs in other kids baskets. WHAT A HELPER!!!!!!

We saw a worker driving around in a maintenance vehicle and V wanted and thought he should just climb in there and have a ride. We followed it for a while. Because he was walking around on his own and wouldn't let me hold his hand we chased after the cart and tried to get a leg up into it. There was candy and bubbles in the bag of treats you got for turning your eggs back in.

The next step now is to boil some eggs so when V wakes up from his nap we can dye them.


On another note: We have been cleaning up our yard. Yes the weather has been awsome. But a problem we run into is keeping V from running away. So M came up with the idea to tie him to the wagon. Well it took V all of about 3 seconds to figure out that he can go where he wants by pulling the wagon. He is strong enough to do it to.

V is just like Daddy. Last night he was trying to figure out to get to something he wanted. (Daddy's foot cream in a jar type thing) So he blows on like Daddy does when he's working on something, to clean it. Then he takes the screw driver and just keeps on wiggling it around in there until he breaks through and gets the cream on the screw driver. He tastes it and realizes that it doesn't taste very good. So he decides that maybe if he tries it again it will taste better. No dice kid.

Well I'm off to boil those eggs. Now should I boil 6, 8, or 12? How many boiled eggs do we want eat. I know M likes deviled eggs but I don't.
