This is how we do it in MT

Here is the is the sunrise at 8am, am because that's when it rises.

Future musicians

They call themselves two brunettes and a blonde, but you probably know
them as Alivia, Elisha, and Emma. Well they played live in the Active
room tonight after service, and they were great, Alivia can really hit
those high notes, Emma can really hit the drums hard, and Elisha
actually knows what she's doing. Later Emma and Liv took turns singing
and it was so adorable. Best show of the year.

Brownies anyone

This is what happens when you make brownies with dad.

This is my life

Emma loves cereal and I'm pretty sure that if I fed her cereal for every meal that she would eat it everytime. Like everyday, today she went to the cupboard pulled out the cereal and requested some, Coy apparently had told her no and to put it away, I at this time was oblivious to all except to the laundry. That is until I heard a strange noise, all she wanted was cereal and we wouldn't let her have it so she decided to get it herself. And this is the result, Fruity Pebbles all over the coffee table.

THE SCARIEST THING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry for you Clay Aiken fans, if there are still any out there but the resemblance if uncanny.

Up to no good

This is where I left her....

and this is where I found her 5 minutes later.

Dinner with Goofy

Emma no longer has to pretend to play with Goofy because last week Grandma and papa brought her the real deal. She carries him around everywhere he even had dinner with us tonight. She made sure he had his own seat, plate with food, napkin, and even a place mat like she has, only his place mat was a coupon that she found. We even had to hold his hands while we prayed, of course Goofy didn't eat his cheese so Emma did but she replaced it with a potato and then of course ate that as well. She asked where Goofy's car was and then told me it was on the moon, and then later had Coy go get Goofy's blanket and put it on him while he ate, he is very high maintenance.

Horsie Time

So Emma and I went to a birthday party today for a friend of hers from church, she had fun but things got really exciting when the neighbors came by on their horses. Emma asked to ride the horse but was scared at first and once she got up there she loved it. She has been wanting to ride a horse for awhile now so I was glad she had a chance and that she enjoyed it, even though I was terrified because horses are pretty but scary and their heads and butts are huge and I don't like that.

More toddler craziness

So when I put Emma down for her nap she was wearing this shirt her
pants and Dora slippers. But when she woke up and ran out of her room
happy and cheery she was wearing her purple skirt inside out. Who
knows how long she was awake and what she was up to. Last night after
she dissed the Rays baseball players face, she continued to make us
laugh. She later ran and sat next to Coy grabbed my phone and said
"there you go Coy" we laughed of course and she liked that so she
Continued to call him Coy and began to sing "Coy Coy Coy Coy life is
but a dream". She is ridiculous and I love her.

Soooo Goood!

Something glorious happened in our kitchen this past week. We had Dion's pizza, for any of you that have never been to or lived in New Mexico you are thinking, so what. But those of you that have experienced Dion's know how awesome this is. How could this be when Dion's is 1200 miles away? Well, my parents came to visit and much to my surprise brought pizza kits. Apparently Dion's will give you all their great pizza making ingredients the dough, sauce cheese and peperoni, everything is all measured out you just put it all together. It was so great they even brought us bottles of Dion's greek and ranch which are also amazing. Thanks mom and dad!

The things a toddler says

Ok maybe I shouldn't be letting people know this but it was so funny I
can't help it.
Coy is watching baseball, and every once I a while Emma will say
something like "wow" or "go Red Sox". these are all normal things. But
not what she said this last time, she casually looked up at the tv and
said "oh my gosh disgusting" so Coy said "what's disgusting", "his
face is disgusting", says Emma. We were so shocked and wanted to
laugh, and we did when she wasn't looking but quickly let her know
that, that's not nice and we don't say things like that. Now the
disclaimer: Coy and I have never said that about anyone.

Active

It has been such a joy to serve the great students of Fresh Life
Church. The past year and a half has had its ups and downs in the
student ministries, but these students have made it so much fun. I'm
looking forward to see what God will do on our midst!

Date Night

The other night the wife and I went out to a local resturant for
dessert and coffee. It was a great time as we shared one of our
favorites, creme brûlée. It was so nice to enjoy an evening with no
kids (as fun as they are). Horray for date nights!!!

Two cute girls

Just a good time hanging out.

Goofy is on the moon

I love watching Emma's imagination grow (not literally), she is starting to act things out and talk to her toys. Earlier she put Minnie down for a nap in her room, then later asked Mickey if he needed his jacket. Currently Emma is walking around the house with Mickey and Minnie looking for Goofy ( she doesn't have a Goofy toy) . She keeps asking if we can go to the moon to get Goofy because that's where he is, according to one of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse shows. She keeps saying "where'd Goofy go? Fly to the moon?" Then she knocks on the door and says " come in Goofy".
Frankie took her outside to look for the moon but they couldn't find it, so we will have to go to the moon another night.

Dr. Trammel

Ella is getting prepped for shots by her Doctor while Dr. Trammel makes sure daddy's ears are ok.

Ella got her shots, now Dr. Trammel tests out her skills on her little sister. Everyone is happy and healthy.
