We're visiting my mom in St. George and Ellie loves to wear her older cousins shoes--only the boy shoes and their hats when they come over.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She also has a constant runny nose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She went over to play at the cousins house and Katie the only girl in her family was going to give Ellie her too small dress ups and tried to play barbies with her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Katie said later: "I think Ellie is a tom-boy. She just threw down my barbies and dress ups and played with the trucks instead."</div>

Ellie's first year went so much faster than RJ's, we love this little girl!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has some teeth and pretty much feeds herself. She seems to be looking a little more like me. Like RJ, around one year old it seemed I may have some genetic influence on her...which hopefully will continue as no girl wants to look like her dad in a wig.</div>

We spent the month of March in Rhett's hometown Delta.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He worked with the physicians there and we hung out with all the family there, going to basketball games, elementary volleyball games, and hung out with all the kids.</div>

Rhett had to work the next day so he stayed home, but I took a bunch of the nieces and nephews to see the midnight showing of Hunger Games. We were in 7-11 getting slurpees after at 2:30am on a Thursday school night and the checker did ask what we were doing. It was a fun night.</div>

One night we took our kids and a few of the kids to the sand dunes a few miles east of Delta. RJ loved them and still talks about going to the hand hills all the time. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">This photo cracks me up because RJ is built so much like his dad. Check out those ham hock thighs. We have a photo of Rhett on the beach at about this same age with those same short, thick, beefy legs. I guess it will be good when RJ's a teenager if those girl-tight skinny jeans are in there's no way those thighs will fit in them, or if they do he'll look like those ballerina hippos.</span></div>

We've found RJ's little Radio Flyer bike works a lot better as a walker than the bulky one in the background. The bike has 4 wheels so it's pretty stable and the perfect height for her to walk around. She has had a tumble trying to get off herself, but walks around really well otherwise.</div>

Hippo snaggle teeth and piggy spikes.</div>

Her hair was getting in her eyes and by the end of the day the tips of her bangs were crusted with food she'd rubbed in trying to get it out of her eyes. I don't want to deal with bangs, so we're growing the hair out and so she now has cute little pig tail spikes.</div>

Rhett had to work again on Thanksgiving this year so I took the kids down to my mom's house in Highland where we had our family. We broke off from going to my Grandma's a while ago, so it's nice to just have my parents and siblings and to have a really nice dinner on china and not sitting on a card table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The huge paper plate Thanksgivings are fun too, but it was nice to have fancy meal.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Which brings us to our biggest frustration with this girl.</div><div style="text-align: center;">She hates eating food.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's such a chore to feed her baby food with a spoon. She won't open her mouth to anticipate it or swallow it really well. We've been doing it enough she's learning, so I feel she knows how, she just has no interest in it and would rather just nurse. So we basically have to jam the food in her mouth and she'll passively swallow because it's in there, she won't actively eat it off the spoon.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Definitely not like her mother in this area. </div><div style="text-align: center;">She may have a hard time fitting in our family if food isn't important to her!</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm hoping she'll snap out of it and start oinking down the food like RJ did.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLGnojFTtM6APG9A6oftbamW7khT31NkkIqUwPHWWTrpDf4199cPykTFkffvGlTut7sWT70sMSjeedrDJ6IEpFYZ9m4CerytJKRJ7L0eJDOUGLiCZ-WiFDD3Z_DvjfUqHyKhsHILoYvblS/s1600/IMG_8452.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLGnojFTtM6APG9A6oftbamW7khT31NkkIqUwPHWWTrpDf4199cPykTFkffvGlTut7sWT70sMSjeedrDJ6IEpFYZ9m4CerytJKRJ7L0eJDOUGLiCZ-WiFDD3Z_DvjfUqHyKhsHILoYvblS/s640/IMG_8452.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">RJ actually had a pretty great week with the boys. Since he was a baby he's loved the boy cousins and tries to fit in and be one of the boys. They're all really close and always let RJ cuddle with them while they watch shows. It always surprises me how RJ will just waltz up and snuggle on one of the boy's shoulders and they just scoop him up and let him get cozy. Even the older teenagers are really nice to his unexpected affection. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzyD1dWkIKmAs8jIXEaxa_E-5WmIYjEoHLfo3eNYB-9NRzE3nnSf8vgWCdf6jKlYXkjiCY2qC7kxNKr_gGKBmnCK8wr9knHzvMOP2swamfAQ5WzLFIyOt6_1lFii4fs1dGR3s9tqjZJlsj/s1600/IMG_4326.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzyD1dWkIKmAs8jIXEaxa_E-5WmIYjEoHLfo3eNYB-9NRzE3nnSf8vgWCdf6jKlYXkjiCY2qC7kxNKr_gGKBmnCK8wr9knHzvMOP2swamfAQ5WzLFIyOt6_1lFii4fs1dGR3s9tqjZJlsj/s640/IMG_4326.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

It's pretty cute.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So we didn't get our garden planted with seeds due to the crazy weather and unexpected events in May.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So we just went and bought small plants with the whole family. Rhett suggested a strawberry plant and I said I wasn't planning on it, in my memories growing up garden strawberries were always gross. But little RJ and Rhett both wanted it and we bought this larger strawberry plant. It had little baby green strawberries starting on it, so it was the only plant we got that RJ could recognize what it would grow.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">He loved the plant. We didn't plant them right off, but just put all our plants in the garage for the night. He kissed the plant and said: "goodnight red ripe strawberry" and put it on the table. I was surprised he was so attached to a strawberry plant.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But it became his baby.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELhA_O8tcg2iqFX7x1pYyIq-vg21kYAk6wXRg60DCmd7M6zv22CGAn8U6fGulRXwB5v9az8MPmprK4YOL0paAXhqw6yJFhjqpx5S2fTZQ1kM2I58-N3ScUya0p3uNXx8VChQ-XyjczF8l/s1600/IMG_4686.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="556" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELhA_O8tcg2iqFX7x1pYyIq-vg21kYAk6wXRg60DCmd7M6zv22CGAn8U6fGulRXwB5v9az8MPmprK4YOL0paAXhqw6yJFhjqpx5S2fTZQ1kM2I58-N3ScUya0p3uNXx8VChQ-XyjczF8l/s640/IMG_4686.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The next morning he woke me up and immediately told me we had to go plant his red ripe strawberry.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So we got it settled in the back yard and he gave it a drink with the watering can.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Later that afternoon he ran out and checked the plant and came to me to ask why it wasn't red yet. I told him it takes lots of days to grow a red, ripe, strawberry.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So each morning we go and check his strawberries and he likes to give them a drink of water.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But this morning one was finally ready.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Anru1Mn29ciNpLjmpU5ZtRMBV1NtCsBB_nIL-SFfnehoUfdSqUeHbkIBuVB3XbO4XCmiFr1j0qpZdLvOw_091lFjYFuDApQPl7w5KY7SBCq1xXQFfKr3Vo20laE9h13oiE4trJ4y9_on/s1600/IMG_4924.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Anru1Mn29ciNpLjmpU5ZtRMBV1NtCsBB_nIL-SFfnehoUfdSqUeHbkIBuVB3XbO4XCmiFr1j0qpZdLvOw_091lFjYFuDApQPl7w5KY7SBCq1xXQFfKr3Vo20laE9h13oiE4trJ4y9_on/s640/IMG_4924.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hopefully he'll like gardening. He helped me plant corn the other day and I was digging the little holes and he was putting the kernel seeds in. But a few got a whole chubby handful of seeds and he spilled a bunch in the watering trench. So we'll see how the corn ends up. Last year he tromped on a ton of my plants, but maybe he's better and can understand now.</div>Rhetthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07079834988225172435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4680694026538196740.post-1176144662076810462011-05-30T12:25:00.000-05:002011-05-30T12:25:33.152-05:00Missing Loy<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As for my part, the father makes the son.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Loy was a perfect example for Rhett and I attribute so much of Rhett's kind, hard-working, patient, affectionate nature towards me and our kids from watching his dad.

So I had a stack of temple photos and RJ picked 3 and they're taped on his wall next to his bed. I told him that temple is Grandma's temple in St. George and for the weeks prior to our visit we'd talk about going to see the temple when we visited.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It's been so exciting the last few weeks, it's as if all the sudden his brain can begin to understand who Christ is, or at least that He's important and he's eager to learn more. There's a little 20 minute video from mormon.org we first showed him for Easter depicting events from Christ's life. RJ watches it all the time and says he wants to watch the "show about Jesus....the one where He talks." It surprises me how often he watches it, and how it holds his attention each time. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first scene is Christ calming the water so his cloak is white and wet against his head and RJ asked: "Jesus wears a hoodie like me?"

I'd made him a superhero cape he never wore, and his old Halloween costumes. His favorite is by far Max the wolf from Where the Wild Things are. I made it for him when he was 18 months, so it's short in the crotch but he loves the tail. We have stools at our kitchen counter and he threads the tail through the hole each time so it can hang off the back of the chair.</div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Sweet little Ellaria isn't too much different sick than just a messy newborn, other than being congested and having trouble sleeping.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But RJ boy started with an entire night of vomiting every 20-40 minutes. He actually did really great, making it in the cookie dough bucket most of the time.</div><div style="text-align: center;">At one point I was sitting on the edge of the bed nursing Ellie, and reaching across to catch RJ's vomit in the bucket, thinking I'm glad I'm not a pioneer and have a washing machine for all this laundry piling up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq5HRTJpdYf6310KxknfFkpjMARYx8oI5USGW1diOeS8iDZTWvnNxyP9opNAppAsz3cnoVdOac3M_LVthEVczR-pb9aCkZxpxzwBtlhSClw6X726Fw6fC_397j8Q-rOWhCb8QlTtyHjgwg/s1600/IMG_2416.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq5HRTJpdYf6310KxknfFkpjMARYx8oI5USGW1diOeS8iDZTWvnNxyP9opNAppAsz3cnoVdOac3M_LVthEVczR-pb9aCkZxpxzwBtlhSClw6X726Fw6fC_397j8Q-rOWhCb8QlTtyHjgwg/s640/IMG_2416.JPG" width="422" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After a few days and the puking stopped, the poor boy got the runs.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To make it easier for everyone, at one point I just had him watch movies on the toilet for the diarrhea.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtM2blYj19dgWAOVZQrg9AaENmh7fT2p5ncvOROek48tkmpTtvVC_g8DWUnEuVB2-dQ9oXkgSgG6f69RDO9ppMy87C3N6Pbji_Yw7HGCOwYkGR7GGvrG65Iy5BnEYn0KXn5m6UznpWZbop/s1600/IMG_2501.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtM2blYj19dgWAOVZQrg9AaENmh7fT2p5ncvOROek48tkmpTtvVC_g8DWUnEuVB2-dQ9oXkgSgG6f69RDO9ppMy87C3N6Pbji_Yw7HGCOwYkGR7GGvrG65Iy5BnEYn0KXn5m6UznpWZbop/s400/IMG_2501.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One time he woke up in the middle of the night on a weekend night Rhett was home with an attack. Rhett said he helped RJ and he told him: "I wanna see it!" So Rhett let him look in the toilet before he flushed it, and he looked at RJ's face and his cheeks were bulging and his eyes were rolling. RJ insisted he wanted to see his dump, but it grossed him out so much he proceeded to vomit all over it. Rhett said he kept puking until he was just dry heaving. We were laughing at this story. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another occasion, actually the day after the all-night puke party, he had fallen asleep on my bed since we'd been up all night. I was doing laundry and walked by my room and smelled nasty. I found RJ collapsed by the door with diarrhea all down his pants, face down asleep. Five feet behind him, I found a puddle of diarrhea on my floor. Apparently he'd woke up and tried to run to the bathroom, had a blow out, then collapsed back asleep a few steps further. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-rEkHpnqBs7dEmQySuFfbbRNitFYhcnpzNwdxba1gJXx2MOf13My5T6befK5IqdCCfE92SX5yM7DG8YTYXKqRzqUQu9aDqakBG1mC8DBoThcJeKtBYcN4D68Iv-XDkFYXNCGgjsi5KVxG/s1600/IMG_2504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-rEkHpnqBs7dEmQySuFfbbRNitFYhcnpzNwdxba1gJXx2MOf13My5T6befK5IqdCCfE92SX5yM7DG8YTYXKqRzqUQu9aDqakBG1mC8DBoThcJeKtBYcN4D68Iv-XDkFYXNCGgjsi5KVxG/s400/IMG_2504.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">As gross as all that was to clean up, I actually felt bad for the little guy.
