BIG day of firsts!

So, Lei had a big day full of firsts. We went to the movies and saw Kung Fu Panda. She did really well, she sat thru the entire movie with very few words. The only thing was she wanted to sit in my lap and the child never holds still! She swayed back and forth on my knee for most of the film. Then her "big girl bed" came in the mail yesterday and she slept on that last night for the first time. I thought for sure I would have to go upstairs a million times and tell her to lay back down...but I didn't have to once! I am sure in the future I will have to but it was nice for last night. Jord kept checking on her and kept moving her to the middle of her little bed, cuz arms and legs were ending up hanging off. The bed is like 5 inches of the floor so I wasn't too worried even if she rolled off.

our fixer-upper house

This doll house was on the side of the street for free. So we pulled over and picked it up. It is in pretty good condition just needs some cosmetic fixes. Lei loves it though. I brought all these little people to her to put in it and was informed that it was a ducky house and the people had to go. However, as you can see a few other animals made the cut and were allowed in the house. I'll post a pic of the "after" when I go get some fun stuff for it. The carpet and wallpaper have to go...I am thinking hardwood floors with some rugs...LOL

Just some cute pics

ADVICE NEEDED

OKAY, SO WE WERE SET ON THE NAME LUKE FOR THIS BABY AND IT HAS COME TO OUR ATTENTION IT MAY SOUND TOO SIMILAR TO STAR WARS...KALEIA AND LUKE...SO WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR ANOTHER NAME AND WE JUST CAN'T AGREE ON ONE. I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE FAKE SMILING IF/WHEN PEOPLE SAY OH LIKE STAR WARS. DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK STAR WARS? PLEASE NOTE WE ARE HAVING ONE MORE KID SO IT WON'T JUST BE THE TWO; THERE WILL BE ONE MORE KID.

What she does alone

When I went up to check on Lei who was playing in her room she was playing dress-up with some sparkle shoes and daddy's hat.

Laugh out Loud

Okay...I will try to do this story justice; it may be one of those "you had to be there".

So we went up to Chico for Spencer's graduation and Lindsay's birthday. It is really late one night and me and my aunt Laura are in the kitchen on the computer watching some very old home videos that were recently transferred to DVD. All of a sudden a little sound rings and an invitation to video talk comes up from uncle Chris. (her husband who was in the piano room...or so we thought...) So we are like what the...and we accept it thinking he is trying to be funny. Then we see a picture of his forehead and we ask what are you doing? Then he says, "I need toilet paper." then the screen goes blank.

Wed. Nights

So the last few Wednesdays we have ventured downtown to the farmer's market. It is a lot of fun. We cruise the fruit/vege stands, get some kettle corn, listen to the music, play on the playground, and Lei's favorite...ride the bike powered carousal...twice! She usually picks to ride the frog although this last time she ventured out and rode the cow the second time.
