Super Clean Up

Everyone, meet Super Clean Up, the newest superhero to come to Earth. I am so lucky that he has chosen to live at my house! He wears colorful pants, a cape, and rainboots. He is a big helper around the house, doing everything from picking up toys, to sweeping the floors. There are a couple of drawbacks, however, to Super Clean Up....he only comes out "sometimes in the fall" and is "usually nocturnal". In other words, when you really need him, he may not be available. Oh well. He is pretty cute to have around anyway.

Camera Fun

Recently Jeremy bought me a new camera. We lost our other one at Disneyworld. That is the 2nd camera we have lost at Disneyworld. Anyway, we bought a really nice camera this time and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I have absolutely no talent when it comes to taking pictures, but this camera is phenomenal! Here are some of the first pictures I have taken. My boys
Josiah and Caroline, 2 of the sweetest babies ever

My happy baby

Isn't she beautiful?

Sweet Solomon

Easter with the Pharrs

The entire Pharr family came over for lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt. It was a little crazy, but we all had so much fun! Happy Easter! Solomon and Kingston, my 2 big boys
Sweet Caroline and Amanda (my niece and sister-in-law)

Ready, set, hunt eggs! Look at the intensity of Kingston!

Kamry and Josiah

Meemaw (Jeremy's grandmother) and Josiah. He loved playing with her hand.

Kamry

I love this picture. First, it shows the damage that 6 kids (the oldest is barely 5) can do to a bedroom. It also shows how worn out we all were at 4:30. Solomon fell asleep between the bed and the wall.

The Messiah Complex

It is really hard to pay attention to the sermons at church with a 2 year old and an infant. Therefore, I didn't realize that yesterday was Palm Sunday until I saw Kingston hand a large leaf to Solomon this morning and tell him, "When I walk by, throw this down in front of me and shout "Hosanna!"

Happy 6 months, Josiah!

You are the perfect addition to our family. We all love you so much.

Spring Program

During the spring program at Otter Creek, Solomon's class sang the little prayer song, "God Our Father". Solomon bowed his head and folded his hands and prayed while he sang. He was the only one and it was precious. He also sang a great rendition of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider".

We Will Miss You, Mimi

We lost someone very special to our family this morning. My great aunt, Mimi, is no longer with us. She was more of a grandmother to me than a great aunt. She came to all our birthday parties, sent us all birthday cards, and babysat for us. Kingston and Solomon were crazy about her. She will be missed so much by all of us.

Kingstonisms

Kingston frequently gives lectures on the Solar System to an imaginary classroom. Recently, he told me that he needs a pointer so that he "can point at things and the other boys and girls will know what (he) is talking about". Anyway, this morning we printed off some coloring pages of the planets (www.alfy.com if anyone is looking for some good educational pages). After he had colored them and cut them out, he wanted to give me a lecture. He even takes on a very "professor" voice when he does it.
When he was ready he told me and I said, "Ok, but lets put your clothes on first".
Kingston: "Awww man."
Me: "But Kingston, teachers don't teach in their pjs!"
Kingston: "Oh, Momma! I'm not a real teacher....I'm a scientist!"

Driving back from Disneyworld last weekend turned into a loooong trip! Because of the snow, we had to detour across Georgia to Alabama to go up I-65. They had closed down Mt. Eagle. All week at Disneyworld I had worn a pair of Merrell shoes that I did not wear with socks. The car was completely quiet: Jeremy listening to his ipod, Solomon and Josiah asleep and I was reading. I took my shoes off and I hear a quiet little voice from the back say, "I smell something stinky". I kinda laughed hoping Jeremy didn't hear and said, "Do you?". I heard Kingston say, "It smells like a goat".
