Roomies!!

My roommate Shelly and I and our neighbors Jill (Mrs. Incredible), Maddi (ballerina), Amanda (bumble-bee). Halloween before we went trick-or-treating!! Dad called from Afghanistan while we were out meandering on the streets and laughed cause we are in college and still begging people for candy!!










My roommate Heidi and I went to Lagoon's "Frightmares" during the Halloween season with her family. It was a blast even though my foot was still hurting from when I injured it in gymnastics. But it was fun enough to take the pain away.







We as roommates get a little crazy and carried away at times!! Heidi is supposed to be in the back there instead of TJ.












Another one of those moments. Shelly, Cheryl, and I had tons of fun this day!!!











Cheryl is modeling one of the hats I made for my Home Teacher Shane. I was pretty proud of myself for my creation!

More of Bradley and Laney!!

One day Bradley and Laney would not go to sleep in the same room so I had to rock them to sleep and he was sick and drooling all over me but he was so so so cute!!











I got to work on Thursday and Bradley had his plastic chair on top of the couch and he was sitting on top of it. Then he got down and sat on the couch and laid his head on it like this while watching Sesame Street.












This is the Bradley and Laney's "Squinty Eye's". I don't know why they do this but I love it. It might have to do with their 1/4 Japanese culture. The first time Bradley did it I thought that he was just smiling for the camera but he wasn't. Aren't they the cutest little mess you ever saw?!!









The other day Bradley was playing with this silicone strainer and he put it on his head and I was laughing so hard. He totally looks like a Fire Fighter. He's so photogenic.











This was right before Bradley threw up all over his doggie. It was my first toddler throw-up experience. Oh man, that is one of the down sides of the job.









They were playing behind the couch and I was sitting on the couch and could hear them messing around in something so I looked behind the couch and they were both sitting in this box together. Then Bradley got out and started piling big toys on top of Laney. She didn't like that too much.

The New Year of 2008!!

January 5th 2008, some friends and I welcomed in the New Year and the new semester with a "Partay"!!! This is Austin Higginson and I after a sweet game of Twister. I firmly believe that my new year is turning out so well so far because of the Twister!!!








This was taken on my second day back to work of the New Year. I was so excited to see Bradley and Laney and we are having so much fun!!! I am now staying with them for seven hours a day, twice a week rather than four hours a day, 3 times a week. This week Laney found a new game where she puts this plastic thing in a waterbottle and then tries to get it out. Because of that game I taught her how to say "out". She also is starting to learn the ABC's. The letter A is pretty much the only letter that you can understand but she is getting the tune down and you can tell that she is singing. It is so cute. They both play together and have so much fun and
love each other so much. They give each other hugs all the time and comfort each other when the other is crying. I love them and am so excited to be an aunt in February!!
