no more!

Somethin' tells me Joey doesn't like to be held by Jae anymore.

Going for a stroll to meet up with Daddy at school!

Kitchen crawler

"Who's under there?"

"I just made you say under where (underwear)!"

*squeeeee* ADORABLE!

CUUUUUUTE!

Joey wants to crawl.

A post from Jimmy

From the 16^th the 19^th I had the pleasure to attend the J. Reuben Clark Law Society Conference.  The conference was for LDS Lawyers. This year it was held at Stanford University.  The weather was a pleasant 70 degrees.  Penn State picked up the tab for flights, hotel, and taxis which was very generous.  The conference is held at different locations every year, and next year it will be at Georgetown with Justice Thomas being the keynote.  There are various speakers that are invited, panels and breakout sessions are common.  I attended one panel about the Arab Spring.  A Stanford professor and two other experts spoke about that issue.  We were also spoken to by various church general counsel officers, a former governor of Utah and Health and Human Services Secretary under George W. Bush.  At the conclusion of the conference I was picked up by, Michelle and her husband, Craig, a friend now living in the Bay Area.  Overall, it was a great trip with very little money spent on my end.  :D

This was the only picture I took during the whole time I was there.

Me & the boys

Valentine's Day

We started the day off at playgroup. (Oh, and here is Jae's buzzed head).

Joey has been wanting to crawl for almost a month! I must admit that I'm not doing ANYTHING to speed up the process. He gets up on his tippy-toes thinking the higher he goes, the further he will get. ;)

Jimmy had intramural volleyball that night, so we hung out at home with the boys on our Valentine's Day. I couldn't ask for a better Valentine's Day gift than this:

(Hmm, well.. maybe some bling wouldn't hurt!)

This is a fuzzy picture, but I'm posting it anyway because Jae just HAD to have his picture taken.

Lately, Jae has been pestering Joey to no end. But, at least it makes him smile! Here, Jae got our huge spatula and put it underneath Joey. But, we learn from "UHF" that there's no better way to say "I love you" than with a spatula. (Click here to see what I'm talking about).

And now a strainer on his head:

Now, let's rewind to 14 February 2007. Jimmy and I were dating and we made this yummy meal together for Valentine's Day.

And, flash forward to this year. We've made it a tradition these past years:

Oh, but this year I have this little Valentine, too! (Joey as well, but he was napping).

happy boys!

Joey screams SO loud whenever he's in his booster seat. Dinnertime is horrendous. 

Ain't life great... without pants?

Jae's fuzz cut.

Friends said to let his hair grow out, but his two cowlicks in the back don't make it so his hair lays down... at all.

I decided to buzz it off. I had to take a picture first with him holding my favorite doll when I was a toddler.

Their hair matches!

When Dad's in Charge

This is what happens when Mom runs errands and dad is at home "watching" the children...

A pile of pillows?

No, a pillow prison for Joey.

Just Jae

Jae climbed up on the couch.. I'm not sure why, but I thought it was cute.

Joey squawking at paper towels

Joey's Exercise

Rinse, lather, & repeat. Err...

Just Joe

It just looks like he's surfing. :)

Joey got too rough w/ the playmat. He would kick the arch and this is what would happen:

I spy with my little eye, someone who is bald:
