Family, Baby, and Cousins

     Sorry for the day late post but I have been doing things of greater importance. Well I guess blogging/journalling is pretty important but..... FAMILY is of most importance. My sister Amber and her  two children came to visit. They are mainly visiting to see my sister Megan before she leaves on her mission to the New York New York North mission on February 16.  She will be preaching and teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to those people who speak Mandarin Chinese! That's right Megan will be learning Chinese! How crazy is that! Soo anyway... in other news, my sister Amber recently got a brand new baby girl born on January 20. She is so little and so adorable. I love to hold her and bottle feed her. BUT unfortunately I am coming down with like the same exact sickness I had before and I REALLY don't want  to get her sick! So I have to wait to really hold her until I have no more symptoms. I just really hope I don't get the full blown illness. I will be pushing fluids and vitamins, garlic pills, and echinacea like crazy! And getting the most sleep possible of course!
       So my updates include the following things.. I don't know if I have mentioned before.. I'm sure I have but I will mention it again because it is just so crazy to me. Grant is just walking like a maniac. He walks everywhere! It is just crazy to me. Amber came on Saturday. Before she came I wanted to make something with my new sewing machine for her new baby Hailey. I figured the best present would be burp cloths because her first kids she got when they were older and didn't need a burp cloth much. So I went to wal-mart, didn't find any good flannel. I went to Joanns and discovered the world of Remnants. They were 50 percent off and there were just enough girly ones that were flannel to get a good deal on what I needed. I discovered I don't enjoy the cutting the fabric but sewing is fun. I sewed over 20 double sided cloths.  The stitching is inside out and then I stitched it again on the outside with decorative stitches. I made them into a burp cloth cake, kind of like diaper cakes but sillier looking.

The cousins really are having fun playing with each other.

Precious Hailey.

First Grand daughter.

More play.

I thought this view was kind of fun.

And more play.

And more and more play! I think they like each other.

 The following paragraph might be too much info.... read on if you dare. Grant had a major blow out while napping. That explains the very short nap due to a dirty diaper and not  pooping all day yesterday. So he pooped and it got in his mouth because it was so messy. He HAD to take a bath! Amber is taking our bedroom for the next couple weeks because she has more kids and she needs the space so she was napping in our bedroom and I didn't have any extra clothes so it was diaper time! He doesn't get much diaper time and when he does he discovers his tummy! Oh! And trey wanted to be just like Grant basically all weekend so he also wanted to be just in a diaper.

Belly Belly!

Grant figures out how to stand up with out using a wall or other taller object! Yay and on camera!

Grant figures out how to scoot backwards lol.

Self explanatory.

Playing with Trey.

Teeth brushing.

Brushing hair.

So that is all. We will continue to have fun as a family. I'm sure I will have lots to report later. Peace out!
