pooh bear birthday

So if any of you are in town next Saturday you are more than welcome to drop by. If not, we will be sure to have pictures up a few days later.

real dancing baby

Watch and enjoy. There is nothing else to say.

sorry about the confusion

....I was talking about nursing, people! Johnathan will turn 1 at the end of the month and so I am trying to figure out how I am going to wean him. He tries food every so often but only if he has already nursed, so that doesn't give me a lot of independence yet. But look at his little face when he is nursing, it makes me melt and I can see why it is hard for me to really give up nursing him. He is the sweetest little boy I have ever known and I kind of just wish he would stay this way. Colette seems more like a little girl and less like a toddler every day.
We are loving the nice weather. Rob scored a bike trailer/jogging stroller at DI so we have gone for walks or bike rides almost everyday.

letting go....well more like pushing away

more on this later...after I finish reading my chapter for class

minkies

:(

So we don't qualify for the house:( Disappointing but somewhat expected.

THE house

pictures

Sorry I haven't posted some good old pictures of the minkies in a while so here you go. The first picture (I think) is of Colette with Aunt Betsy demonstrating downward facing dog-a yoga move. I think that the kids would be good at yoga if they could stop being so wiggly long enough to hold a pose...they can pull their own socks of with their teeth after all.
The next is Colette with the awesome necklace I bought from Lia Sophia. It is pretty heavy and makes you feel like a goddess so naturally Colette didn't want to take it off.
Another day we went for a little stroll on Center Street in Provo. We checked out the pet store, an awesome book store and had pizza. Fun
Oh and last this is the little pirate that I made for Johnathan. Savvy? I made a doll for Colette first and J liked chewing on her so much I knew I had to make him something but I couldn't figure out what, until Michelle suggested a pirate. Sheer brilliance! Now Colette's doll that I was pretty proud of seems pretty lame. I will have to jazz her up a bit.
ps. If you do visit my crafty blog please leave me a comment. It makes me feel special to know that someone is looking at it.

Rob's band again at La Parrilla Latina in SLC

Hey everybody,

My band's playing again at La Parrilla. It's a nice opportunity to see my band play, we're going to Japan this fall and San Diego this summer. There's no cover charge so come, buy dinner, and enjoy!

If anybody has any requests of songs theyd like us to play then tell me beforehand and we'll do it!

La Parrilla Latina is located at 4115 south Redwood road, on the north-east end of the block.

sick as doggies

Or whatever else gets really sick. Colette becomes a mess when she doesn't feel well, whining incessantly and flinging her little fists around with surprising force. Then we give her medicine and she becomes the energizer bunny. Karla tells me that it was the same with Rob when he was little. Johnathan is similar but to a lesser and more tolerable degree. Rob went to the doctor and found out that he has bronchitis. Assuming that we all have the same thing we are one pathetic bunch. So if we are scarce for the next little while it is only because we feel like crap;) Happy Easter

more San Diego pictures

I love the little Bennion Totem pole of Colette, Rob and Johnathan, so cute. Then while we were walking along the beach shops a guy approached us with a weird scarf on. Then Rob was like ohh, look at the snake. I hadn't even noticed. Colette was pretty brave, she petted it easier than she pets most dogs. Then while we were at the zoo there was an cranky bird that was pecking people, Colette included. Oh and the hippos were cool.
