Memorial Day

Mr. Clean & a look at our apartment

Micaiah can't stand clutter. He roams the house picking up anything lying on the floor. It then goes either in his playpen, the kitchen cabinets or the oven drawer. It's so funny to watch! Daniel says he reminds him of me. Especially when Ci takes one last look around, realizes all is cleaned up and then sighs as if saying, "Job well done".

Mesmerized

On Sunday, we put Winnie-the-Pooh in for Micaiah so he would stay in one place while we got ready for church. His favorite part is the song "Hephelumps and Woosels"!
The stuffed lion was handed down from one of my cousins. Ciah's had it since birth and is slowly getting used to it!

17 weeks in the making

New Hairstyle

A couple weeks ago, I was having "one of those days"! Any woman who reads this would understand. Clothes didn't fit right, no matter how I tried I still looked drab, not to mention, I was emotional to boot! About two in the afternoon I got this crazy idea that if I chopped my hair off all would be well. Sounds crazy, but it worked. I called Jamin the next day and said, "The answer to all your problems lies in a different hairstyle!" Now obviously that's not true but, I will say that sometimes you just need a change. It's exciting and afterwards life seems manageable again!

Helping Mommy

Ciah loves to be apart of whatever I am doing. It's so sweet!
His new and favorite chore is to help me unload the dishwasher.
He hands me the silverware one piece at a time.
When we're all finished, he pushes the racks in and shuts the door. Then he claps, feeling very satisfied with himself!

My Cutie!

Home from Church!





























Climbing the steps!














Looking at his book, "The Wind in the Willows".

Santa Fe

This part of Santa Fe reminded me of a "Mexican Woodstock"! So many little shops which, of course, all had a Mexican, western, Native American flare. The prices were out of this world! I saw a sweater that cost $2,500.00! Can you imagine?

On the left of this picture is an old Catholic church. There were so many different kinds of people roaming the sidewalks. We heard several different languages.

There was a long, wide, covered sidewalk (not pictured here) where Native Americans sat behind their spread out blankets covered with handmade jewelry. It was quite a sight. Although I'm not fond of the Turquoise and Silver look, I did like some of there beaded pieces.... very intricate.

On the green, vendors were selling fajitas and burritos!

Mountain Views

On our way to Santa Fe we enjoyed the sights of these mountains. Certainly not the Green Mountains, but these foothills of the Rockies have so much texture.
Below, in the distance, you can see that the peaks are still covered in snow.
