I'm going to call Grandpa
Hi, is Grandpa there?
Grandpa, it's me, James!
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!?!?
Grandpa, can you come play at my house?
I'll share my toys this time.

TWINS!
A few weeks ago Rocky, James and I had the chance to join 4 more members to our family. A seven year old, a five year old, a 3 year old and a 1 year old.
It was hard, it was fun, it was eye opening and all around awesome. We had a great time.
By the end of the week I was happy to go back to easiness of one baby.
Since the older kids were in school all day and the 3 year old had lots of play dates I was with "my twins" most of the day. It was so funny. James and Ruby, Ruby and James. I loved watching them play together. James learned good things from Ruby - like how to crawl. Rudy learned bad things from James - like how to be needy. My sincere apologies to her mom. I really hope that didn't stick.
I missed getting photos of the other kids. When they got home from school things got a little crazy and I totally spaced taking pictures. Props to those mom's with multiple children that somehow manage to take photos.

Welcome home Sara
Sara is home! She was serving a mission in the New York, New York South mission. We had a great time waiting and waiting and waiting at the airport for her arrival. We had lots of false alarms - there were a lot of missionaries coming home the same time Sara was. One person would start screaming and before you know it the who crowd was screaming until they realized that it wasn't their missionary. I found it a little humorous. I guess there were a lot of cut off screams. Example:
Full scream: WHHAAAAAAAAAAAA
Partial you aren't who I thought you were scream: WHHHA
Then there was crying. Good crying.
We also wore these funny glasses just to spice things up a little. Thanks to everyone who was a good sport.
It was hard to say goodbye and come back to Ohio after only a few days with Sara. Now she is far away, like the rest of our family - please come visit. :)

I have tons of pictures and this is the best one I got of Sara. :(
Check out this group. This was so funny to me. Watch Grandma's face. You can click on the photos to make them larger.
Dave felt that this was the best place for him to stand....Grandma didn't agree.

Happy Birthday
Last week we celebrated a birthday. It was his first and he had no idea what was going on but we celebrated anyway.
James and I were in Utah for a quick trip - my sister, Sara, returned home from her mission. So we got to celebrate James birthday with family - minus Rocky.
His favorite part was being able to celebrate with his cousins. The fun part of having your birthday on St. Patty's day is that a lot of people are celebrating too. So maybe it wasn't exactly for James - it was celebrating and we will take it.
James is still just a little guy. In fact his cousin that is a month younger is all ready taller and bigger....
Weight: 20 lbs, 14 oz
Height: 29 inches
-He finally learned how to crawl properly - special thanks to miss Ruby (who is also 1) a week with her taught James that the wounded army crawl wasn't effective or fast.
-He is starting to use sign language. He will sometimes sign "more" and "milk." But I'm pretty sure he only kinda knows what "more" means.
-He know loves to run with help (thanks Grandpa S)
-He is doing great with his solid foods, some favorites are broccoli, grapes, oranges, strawberries, carrots, Grandma S's homemade bread, and beans.
-He loves to tease.
-He has started to dance
-He wishes he was flexible enough to suck/eat his toes
-He loves to brush his hair, by himself
-He loves his blanket and binkie - sadly for him the later will be leaving soon.
-He loves being social and has started to wave at people
-He is down to two naps
-He will play catch if its a good day
He is so fun and has been laughing so much lately. I love spending my day with him.
The following are photos from the big party. :)

James patiently listening to mom explain how to blow out a candle - sometimes it's harder than it looks.
Birthday hat.
Missing from the photos is Grandma S and me, mom. We both had our photos taken but for the good of this blog and for our own esteem they will not be posted. We were happy to be at the party though.
