Here are some pics and videos from this past week. Saturday (16th) Andersen was trying to sleep because he had been on night call at the hospital so we made animal pancakes for breakfast. Here is Porter's elephant and the little piece of batter in the lower left hand corner is supposed to be a mouse scaring the elephant, Porter said.
Coolidge turned 5mo. old on Sunday (17th). As you can see, he LOVES to smile. Infact it is hard to get him to sleep at night because he just wants to smile at us instead of suck on his pacifier. He's also trying to sit up.
This is a video of Coolidge smiling for me (s0rry for my annoyingly high pitched talk, I can't help it when I'm around him). It's also a good video of Mason talking. He talks so much now and we can actually understand what he's saying. It's a lot of fun. My favorite mason phrase right now is, "I don't know."On Monday (18th) Porter had a day off from school so we went over to my parent's house to play. This is where Mason finally decided to take a nap.
That night Joann came over with her family and we all did Family Home Evening together. Here I am holding Coolidge and Aubry. Just so you know, Coolidge IS 4mo. older than Aubry but they are about the same size. That's ok, Aubry is such a "Cutie" just like her shirt says.
One of our favorite Family Home Evenings growing up was playing "Fireplace Charades." My dad would build a fire and we would turn off all the lights and play charades in front of the fire. It is one of my favorite memories so that's what we did for FHE. And afterwards we got to roast marshmallows. Porter is a pro, seriously, he can cook a marshmallow to golden perfection. This is a video of the boys trying to ride the bucking grandpa. There isn't too much lighting in my parent's living room so the video is pretty dark (except for Songebob glaring in the background).Andersen and I have been watching some of the American Idol shows, mostly just to see the LDS contestants. This is Coolidge and Andersen watching American Idol on Thursday (21st). All of my boys LOVE hanging out with their dad. What a cool dad!
Unfortunately when I picked Porter up from school on Friday his first words were, "I have the flu bug!" Yes, he did. Which really stunk because Andersen actually wanted to go out and eat, but we couldn't. Porter already had a fever and by Saturday morning he couldn't even move from the couch. Poor kid!
Saturdays are our "clean up" days and Saturday (23rd) while Andersen and I were downstairs cleaning up, Campbell and Mason (Porter was still sick on the couch) were supposed to be upstairs cleaning their bedroom. Well, this is what they were doing instead:
Needless to say, we were a little irritated because this is what the closet is supposed to look like: 
Anyway, here we are Sunday (24th) evening. Just a typical evening before bed. And of course the night is not complete until Campbell hurts himself in some way.
