What we've been up to

Here are a few pictures showing what we've been doing the last couple of weeks.

Here is Alex with his just sprouted sunflower seed and a shot 2 months later with them growing in the garden.

Here is Alex in the back of a police car in the "cage". And next to the car. The police officer gave him a junior officer badge that he loved to wear and show off.

Here he is driving an ambulance.

Spencer thought he was sneaky by hiding behind the couch and eating a pear he had grabbed off the counter.

Here's some pics of our trip to St. George. Spencer was having a great time pulling his socks off with his teeth.

While we were waiting for Tawny and Felix - Alex decided to bust out his cars and play.

Here's a great shot of the temple. It was a BEAUTIFUL day.

The In-n-Out shake was a little thick.

Here's Alex relaxing while trying to suck the milkshake out.

Here are a few shots from the air show. The Thunderbirds did an awesome show!

And finally here are a couple from the concert during Air Force week. Spencer was enjoying the comforts of crossing his legs.

So that's what we've been up to and we'll have lots more pics coming. Every weekend for the next month we have activities going. Fun fun.

non refundable

So we had a crazy wedding weekend. We drove down to St. George Thursday night for my cousin's wedding on Friday (which was beautiful!) then we drove home Friday afternoon for another cousin's wedding on Saturday (which was also beautiful). Alex has had some seasonal allergy issues. They are not as bad as last year when he broke out into hives but he's been seriously stuffy and has some major itchy eyes. While we were in St. George they got a little better. He could breathe without us hearing every breath. So when we got home on Friday he was having a hard time again. That night when we went to bed he was having a tough time falling asleep but after a long battle he finally gave up but he woke up at 3:37am and just couldn't go back to sleep so he comes in our room to tell us that his nose just isn't working. For some reason that was the funniest thing. Just the way he said it, like he wanted a refund or an exchange on the damaged one. So he thought sleeping in our bed with us would help the problem and he did fall asleep pretty quick but boy can this little kid snore!

Our new additions

I finally wore Ben down and on Saturday we went to the Humane Society and picked out two way cute kittens. These two were curled up sleeping together in the same little basket when we found them and we decided they were the ones for us. We got to hold and play with them for awhile. Alex was excited with the idea of kitties but he didn't want to hold them and Spencer flat out refused to have them anywhere near him. He kept pushing them away and then wanting to be held by mom or dad. It took us the whole day to come up with names but that gave us time to figure out personalities and that helped in the name choosing. The black and white one is Audrey. She likes to cuddle and be held and she purrs the second she sees someone. She comes when she's called and just an all around sweet kitten. The gray and white one is Kate. She loves being chased and hates being caught. She follows Audrey wherever she goes and is a little more shy. Alex loves to watch them play with each other and frequently tells them to be nice when he thinks they are hurting the other one. Spencer still doesn't want anything to do with them but he has enjoyed playing with their toys.
