Lazy Sunday

After church today we played this:

This is our current favorite game - Ticket to Ride. It's surprisingly fun to play with only two people. I really shouldn't brag about it, but I WON! (That doesn't happen very often when playing against Hank.)

and ate this:This is one of my favorite recipes. It is so easy and it tastes just like it is made from scratch. Try it. Trust me, you'll like it.



and sang:
So, it may surprise some of you to know this, but Jessica can talk. Yes, yes, it's true. We have a baby genius. She says, "Hi," and when you ask her what her favorite color is she says "blue." Just today I asked her if she was ready to go and she responded with "go." Her vocabulary is expanding everyday. We often have very intelligent conversations consisting entirely of blowing rasberries. She loves to sing, too. Clapping her hands during patty-cake is her favorite part. . . . okay, okay, I may be embellishing a little, but I'm her mother. I'm allowed to think she's the smartest baby ever.

That is a great game! And, Ms. Chef, that's good food! The cake looks to die for - so moist! and i love stroganff :)

Intelligent conversations consisting of raspberries... Us too!!! Amazing how much one can exchange during those - and i don't just mean moisture. You look happy - I'm so glad.

When Jacen was a very tiny baby my mother claimed that he said "grama" just as clear as a bell to her. I think she was just excited about thinking his baby talk was "grama". (:

Sounds like a darn good Sunday to me! I can't wait to see your cute little baby when you visit Utah. We need to have lunch, or dinner, or something! :)

I am finally blogging about our big trip to Hawaii last month. It was our 3rd anniversary and our dear friends, the Barnums, said we could come visit them anytime we wanted....so we did! Here are a lot of pictures, in no particular order: On the actual day of our anniversary, April 19th, Hank and I left the baby with a sitter and hit the town by ourselves. Since I wasn't a fan of the whole snorkling thing, we took a submarine ride to get a good view of the sea life. Yes, that is a real sea turtle in the real ocean, 100 ft underwater. I snapped this picture out my window. The view of Waikiki from our sub before we went under. The flag at the USS Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It has been raised to half mast everyday since the memorial was erected. Hank helping raise the flag first thing in the morning. "Give me gum gum, dumb dumb." Us and the Barnums at the Temple. (Chrissy, Chase, Mike, Josh, Hank, Jessica, Danica) Jessica enjoying the all-you-can-drink root bee...

So Sleepy . . .

So, we may be terrible parents, but we thought this was so funny. Jessica wouldn't take an afternoon nap today and by dinnertime she was exhausted. She was so tired that she couldn't even chew her food. The best part was that Hank could not stop laughing at her and it was keeping her awake. This video was much longer, but I cut it down...because watching a baby fall asleep may not be as interesting to you as it was to us.
