Here I lay..... Aaron and I are both trying to go to sleep. Poor guy, he wasn't feeling well on Sunday night, so I drugged him with Advil PM. SO, he slept too long Monday morning, which helped him get over the flu bug he was coming down with, but also is causing him to not be able to sleep tonight (Monday night). So I came home from work at 130 am, and he's still tossing and turning. I have a lot of ideas for our new family blog, and Aaron has a lot of ideas for the new family back yard, so we're both being kept awake by our muses.

Lets see, posting some pictures.... we have Ira posing with the bookends he made at Cub Scout Day Camp in our stake, wearing Dad's hat, and for some reason known only to 9 year olds, holding a dime in his mouth. Then here's Tommy just being cute. The kids love for us to take their pictures. Heck if I had those eyes I'd be a camera ho too. :-)

We had Nathan and Tiffany and kids over the other night, as well as Mom and Dad. The boys were putting up the cabinets from Grandma and Grandpa's old house, into our office area. Tiffany and I were out with our respective tribes, and Grandma and Ira were inside watching a movie. It was fun having everyone over. I just wish there were some grass or something. The kids were all covered in dust from our plain ol' dirt yard.

Here's Joy posing, even though I asked her not to. She can't help it. To the right is Tiffany helping Owen do the monkey bars. Really she's just making sure he doesn't fall. He's doing most of the monkeying all by himself.

The rest are just shots of the kids playing. I thought I got more of the cousins, but apparently I'm one of "those" moms whose camera is attracted to their own kids. THe bottom picture, even though it just has Joy in it, is JOY doing the neat "trick" Ella showed her, of climbing up the rope ladder and then hurling your body to the slide from the opposite side of the ladder. Thankfully, no broken bones resulted from this play date :-)
