For Christmas I got my Silhouette machine and this was my first vinyl project.  I am pretty proud of how it turned out.  Especially since I had to make the cowboys myself.

 Some things about Billy at 6 months:

• He sits up on his own and LOVES it
• He loves to eat, he eats peas, squash, carrots and rice cereal. 
• He LOVES his brothers and likes to watch them play and laughs and laughs
• He likes baths
• He is still the easiest baby ever
• He LOVES having his diaper changed and laughs and laughs
• He likes to yell and scream, just for fun

 Mikey loves that he can sit up now and always wants him to "tip over".  He also likes to play "monster trucks" with Billy so when he is sitting up Mikey always goes over and rolls on him to knock him over.  The other day Billy was just sitting in the other room yelling, so I told Mikey to go play with him and he decided to play bowling with him.  He got a bowling ball and used Billy as the bowling pin.  Billy thought it was hilarious!
 Billy loves making this face a lot now.  It is pretty cute.
 The other two have been up to a lot also.  James is amazing and always blows me away with the things he comes up with.  He loves to watch bowling videos or marble videos on YouTube and then tries to recreate them with what he has around.  He often comes up with some very cool marble runs.  That he builds by himself.

This marble run has two different paths.

This one was really impressive to both Doug and I. James was pretty proud of it too, he came out to get Doug and show him.  Then when I got home from the store he had to show me too.

 Finally James and I bake all the time.  It is one of his favorite things.  So for the Broncos game yesterday we made this cake.  It turned out pretty cool looking, but didn't taste very good.  So James mostly ate the frosting.
As for Doug and I, we were both given new callings.  Doug was moved up to teach the 4-year-olds, and stay with James, but they split the class so he only has half of them which is much easier.  It has caused a bit of a stir since all the kids still want to be with him.  He is also going to be the Wolf den leader which he is pretty excited about.  I am no longer teaching Relief Society, which I was surprisingly sad about.  It was good for me to have to study the lessons and got me out of my comfort zone.  Now I am the primary music leader.  At first I was really nervous about this because it has always just seemed like a really hard calling to me.  Even though I love working with kids, it seems like the music leader has to be very enthusiastic and outgoing to keep those kids attention.  Today was my first day and I feel like I did a pretty good job and an pretty excited for it now.  One of the teachers even asked if I had done this calling before.  The primary is huge but the kids seem pretty good.  James had a hard time.  He was doing really well during sharing time, but as soon as he saw Mom he just wanted to go up with her, and because he couldn't he had a bit of a meltdown.  But he was better than last week and I think as he gets used to seeing me in there it will get better and better.
