Jaxon!!

Jaxon is learning to feed himself. These pictures are in order of him eating. This cracks me up. Looks like it will work.....getting all of the food in the mouth Just needs to turn the spoon a bit... ya that might work. O Man, some of it came out. I will try again. This is Jaxon, he is a little boy that I tend everyday the Alpine School Dist. has school. He is a GREAT kid. He sleeps well and plays well with Rio and Krey. My kids like him to come over! Things are working out awesome with him in our home. Jaxon really does smile, he likes to smile right after I take his picture. He is still working on feeding himself, but as for taking him to the store....HE IS GOOD. I really have only taken him once, but a man stopped me and told me how well behaved my kids were and that I should buy them a treat.

Tuesday Night

On Tuesday night, as I was putting Rio to bed I told her that in the morning it would be raining outside. Rio was excited, and asked, MOM WHERE IS THE UN-GRIL-A, I NEED IT FOR OUTSIDE. I told her that I thought I had a red one, and that we would look for it in the morning. Tuesday morning came and I went into get her and the first thing she said was, MOM IS IT RAINING OUTSIDE? I told her it was. UA MOM, LETS GO GET THE UN-GRIL-A, OK MOM. We found the umbrella and I had her get her boots on to keep her feet dry. There was no time to get dressed, she needed to get outside and fast. Just checking it out. Turns out it was too cold to go outside, and she needed 2 jackets. Now she is ready! Must get back the un-grila from brother. Ya, it is still cold. She just wants to take a picture of us instead of going out in the rain, I know I look GOOD.

summer 2009

Here are a few pictures from summer of 2009. I got them from Julie’s camera. A good bye party for the Rico’s; Kai’s last soccer game the night before they flew to Georgia; Rio got stung by her first bee that same night; The BIG Healey reunion with all of Grandpa Healey’s brothers; And just a few pictures from Grandpa and Grandma White’s house.

Rio took these pictures...

Rio took this picture of Cameron and I up at Grandpa Healey's Cabin. We drove up friday night after Cameron got off work and then came home Saturday morning. It was short but great! I had more pictures of Krey on these stairs but we took them in "movie mode", so they didn't work. he really had the best time climbing and climbing these stairs. he loves to climb up and then yell at you and smile! Look at my girl, she kills me. This is Krey climbing again, but look at Rio. She was jumping from the stairs to the chair, funny hu.

Rio's e-mail

I told Rio what to draw…. Mom: Draw a circle for the head; now draw a big circle for the body, now you need to legs and 2 arms. Rio: what about a smile? Mom: O yes, you need a smile and 2 eyes and a Rio: nose. Rio was with me when I was talking about e-mails with a friend, then the friend and I exchanged e-mails. Well then Rio needed to write hers down too. Rio's email is at the top of this second picture. I think it was a great address. Also with her address she drew a picture. If anyone needs to e-mail Rio go right head, and she might just draw you a picture too.

left overs

This is what happens if I don't clean up lunch FAST. Krey climbs up and eats a second lunch. I know I feed him enough, but he will always eat more.

Pretending

Rio is into PRETENDING and I just love it. She pretends that she is “in Gretchen’s trailer” “going to her Grandparents” (whose names are thoopa and toolth) or “store”. I love all of these pretend places she makes. I love to see where her locations are. She can just about turn any corner into a different world and as long as she can bring in her blocks she got form the Rico’s and her doll. Many times she will dump all of the play food into the little hut with her. Cameron on the other hand is worried, worried that she might not come out of these pretend worlds, and that she might go wired
