Okay, baby?

Today as we were trying to fall asleep for our nap on my bed, Ellie was in a really good mood and kept squealing and laughing. I was trying really hard to get Alden to fall asleep but he was having a hard time relaxing and falling asleep. Finally, he turned over to Ellie and said, "Baby! We need to quiet. Mommy, Daddy, Alden asll sleeping, okay? That's not loud. We need to quiet, okay?" ha ha ha. I was trying so hard to stop myself from laughing out loud....

Time out!

Today, I was trying to put Alden down for a nap, and we were lying down on my bed. I was pretending to be asleep so that Alden would be able to fall asleep. He was getting really bored and started talking to himself. He put up both hands in front of him and started to make them fight each other. After a few seconds and after he had counted, "One, two, three, four, five," he yelled, "Time out!" Then he put one of his hands away from the other one for a few seconds. Then he said, "Done? Yes." Then made his hands play with each other again. (repeat 5 times). Ha ha ha ha.


Here's a picture of the Father's Day card Alden made for Joe. One side has a picture of Joe that Alden drew (with glasses in orange) and things he likes to do with dad (I asked Alden what he enjoyed doing with Joe). On the other side, he wrote DADY in blue, and ANLDE (he ran out of room and had to write in N beteween the A and L) in orange. He also drew his own face in orange. :)

Carnival!

We were planning a trip to Bountiful and asked Laura what they'd be up to so Alden can play with Sophie. Laura said that they were gonna go to a parade and a carnival at West Valley City, so we invited ourselves to the carnival. Alden had never been to a carnival or an amusement park (well, that he remembers. We went to Everland in Korea when he was 8 months old) so I really wanted to take him. They had tons of kiddie rides that Sophie and Alden loved. Laura's cousins Nicole and Josh were there with their three boys, so the kids went around on the rides together. Alden had so much fun and was so excited to go on different rides. After an hour or so in the sun, however, all the adults were hot and tired, so we called it a day and left the carnival.

Alden doesn't look very excited in this picture, but he was, I promise! :D

Ellie enjoyed the view and the warm weather.

This was a pretty bumpy ride, and the kids loved it.

After that, we decided to drop by the DI we saw on our way into the park, and found tons of books for really cheap. We found a lot of Dr. Seuss books and Arthur books and got them for only 33 cents each! :D

Then we visided Joe's dad, and he taught Joe how to change the oil in our car. We also had a nice visit with Joe's grandparents, and went to Joe's mom's ward BBQ. While we were at Joe's dad's house, Alden was singing, "A! L! D! E! N! Alden!" Ha ha ha.

Sparklers. :D

Joe is so funny....

I don't know about anybody else, but I think Joe is the funniest guy on the planet. It's one of the reasons why I'm married to him. Ha ha.

So the other day, I was feeling sick and didn't have much of an appetite. My mom offer to babysit and told Joe to take me out to eat. I wasn't really feeling up to eating anything so Joe was trying to figure out what I would want to eat.

He darted naming off a whole bunch of food like, "Chinese? Italian? Mexican? All you can eat pizza?" Then he said, "do you want some pho?" I didn't answer so he said, "what about some dough? Rye? Or me?" so it was then that I realized that he was going off the music scale... He continued, "how about some 소 (soh-cow)? Latte? Tea?"

Ha ha ha. I love Joe... And happy Father's Day!

Ellie is a big girl!

Ellie is finally getting her first tooth. The left bottom front tooth. :D She had been drooling a lot, like a lot in the last week or so, so we are so happy to see that little tooth come out. She's being such a good sport about it, and doesn't while or cry or anything even though she is teething.

Potty training that we started with her just for fun has given us a surprising result. In the last week, I haven't had to change a poopy diaper yet. It's still hit-and-miss with the pee, but she has pooped four times in a row in the toilet!! (That's actually better than Alden's tracking report) Yay for Ellie!!!

Yeagi's getting married!

My sister, Yeagi, is getting married next month. I took engagement pictures for the couple, and here are some samples. :)
