"Totally"

Our garage is fixed!!!! 16 days later (I'm pretty sure the construction man said it would be 3-5 days) it's fixed! Our kitchen is emptied out as are most of our other rooms that had gathered some garage materials. Mark bought some really sturdy shelves and we've filled them with tubs full of 'stuff'. It's so nice to have it organized.

Ruthy's favorite word is "totally". It's pretty funny as she uses it in every conversation. Today we stopped at a garage sale on our way to drop off Brandon. Ruthy unbuckled and sat in the driver's seat. While she sat there, Mark & I showed her clothes from the sale. She either wrinkled up her nose or nodded yes depending on whether she liked the clothes or not.

On the way to our house is a little hill that gives you that "tummy tickler" feeling if you go fast. The girls love it!! Today we did it and both girls squeeled with delight. A few seconds later, Javan did it then laughed, just like the girls had!



Ruthy got a bike at the garage sale a few weeks ago. Mark painted it pink and put on training wheels. She loves it!! The last two nights she has asked to go on a bike ride after supper. We've had a good time and it's been good exercise.

Moriah has been learning her alphabet. She's in the stage where whenever she sees an "M" or a "W" she thinks it spells Moriah. The other word that starts with an m is "Mom". So, the other day she spelled "Mom". She wrote in on her aquadoodle (it writes with water) so I had to take a picture before it dried up. She was pretty excited though! She knows how to do "MO" in her name.


As Ruthy would say, have a TOTALLY good weekend!

So good to hear from you!!
Your girls are growiing up!!
it is so exciting when they get to that stage when they make things their own!! I love that about little kids. I hope mine never outgrow that.
It will be awesome that you will be here the weekend of the 29th.
What time will you be here the 29th? will that day be easier since the tractor thing is saturday, or is that too much? let me know.
I am sure there are a lot of people who will want to see you while you are here.
Whenever you have a spare moment, we would love to see you guys!!!
Maybe we could meet at the mcdonalds to play or a park depending on how hot it is and what time.
