Summer fun with friends

We had a great time with the P and T families at the DMNandS!


 At first I thought K was even taller than I realized, until I saw she was standing on the railing too.  I wouldn't be surprised if she is that tall by next summer, though!
 This trip was our first time doing an experiment in the health exhibit.  D chose to do "Battle Bacteria."  It was great and I loved helping these 3 and M participate.  Lesson learned: don't buy antibacterial hand soap!  All you're doing is help create super bugs!
I love it when we have "linger longers" at church.  It's when there is a potluck after church on a 5th Sunday of the month.  Most families forgot this time, so we had a huge dinner table and the children were such good helpers getting it ready. 
 We also had a blast another Sunday with the families of the primary presidency at the president's house.  Check out the look on N's face  as she made mommy and daddy dance to her drumming.
 We love park play dates!
 And this play date to see J's new house was a crack up.  M and J held a mock wedding for S and N.  I was laughing so hard but told them S would have to ask Daddy's permission first the next time he tried to marry N.
 D joined the Cub Scouts and had his first event: fishing!  Hubby took him for some father/son time and it sounds like the troop did a great job putting it on.  D isn't old enough to join the Wolves at church because you must be 8-years-old, but since he is going into 2nd grade, he can join a community troop with one of his friends, T.  D is pretty excited and he was very proud that he knew the family of the person who caught the biggest fish.  (:

Precious Pumpkin

Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Danny's 1st Year Video

Exactly one year ago today we got a call from our case worker. He told us there was a birth mother thinking of placing her son with us for adoption. Usually he didn't make such phone calls before an official decision was made, but he felt that this little boy was meant for us & we needed a little warning b/c the due date was June 12. Low & behold, 4 days later he called to say Dani had chosen us to be her baby's parents. 2 weeks later, we were bringing Danny home from the hospital. It is difficult to believe Danny's birthday is only 2.5 weeks away. When I look back I feel he & I were a little gipped with me getting pregnant so soon after he was born & becoming a big brother at only 9.5 months, but he is so healthy & happy. There is no way he could have been any better of a baby... I'm convinced he is the easiest/best little guy to have ever graced the planet. We are so blessed. He is truly a joy of a boy.

No check up, but doing great!

The pediatrician thought Kaelah was doing well enough to skip her 15-month check up... but I can't resist a formal update before she turns 16-months-old tomorrow. Of course I'll put this first on the list: Kaelah said her first Chinese word last week! Bi zi for nose -- which she heard for the first time in Hawaii. Looks like I'll have to pick out word #2 soon! Kaelah is selective about the music we listen to now. She'll either say, "no" or begin dancing. We're thrilled she will now fold her arms while we pray over the food & by her crib at night. Kaelah will also say "yummmm" while eating & will give high 5's and knuckles. I think you'll pick up most of the rest from the video. (:
