The Best Part of Baking - Licking the Bowl

Parker is quite fond of helping me cook in the kitchen.  He will taste whatever is in the mixing bowl regardless of what stage of adding the ingredients that we are in.  But licking the finished product - that is the best part!  Tyler agrees!

Introducing Tessa Mae Davidson

Meet Tessa Mae Davidson. She was born on August 3rd at 1:08pm. She was 7 lbs 14 oz. She has dark hair right now - we'll see if it lasts. She looks a lot different than her brothers. So far she is very even-tempered and we are having fun with a newborn around again.

Park Days

Julie, Clemie, and Lily have been visiting from Denver for about a week. We have been spending lots and lots of time at the park with these four little monkeys. Parker & Clemie have spent lots of time playing on the playgrounds, giggling, (some fighting), and having fun. Tyler has loved the freedom to run around in wide open spaces investigating whatever strikes him at the moment. Lily has practiced walking for hours. She has gone from pretty much refusing to try to taking lots of steps all on her own. We're having lots of fun!

The Danger of Taking A Shower ....

...and leaving a 3 year-old to his own devices.

So rude!

A few minutes ago as we were driving in the car, Parker ripped Tyler's pacifier out of his mouth and threw it on the floor for the 3,851st time. "Parker" I reminded him, "it's not nice to steal Tyler's pacifier. How would you like it if he took the Batman that you are playing with?" To which he responded in a very sad voice: "Tyler's always takes my Batman. It's so rude!"
Funny, funny boy!
