YUM!!!

Russell found a new toy, he took my carrot from me when I pulled it out of the fridge last week and he played with it for almost an hour. It was fun to watch him, and it meant that I did not have to entertain him, the carrot took care of that for me!

New Trick

Russell SITS! He finally did it all by himself, he has been sitting for two days now and getting better every day. The pillows behind him are there to catch him when he topples over. Our floor is really hard and his head has come in contact a couple of times and it takes like 15 min. to make the head feel better. It is sad. But with the help of the pillows life is good. I have been so excited for him to sit, now he is so much happier on the floor. YES!

This is a very supervised Russell enjoying some birthday wrapping paper. He enjoyed it for quite some time. Eventually it started to make it to his mouth a little to well and it had to go, he was not happy about that.

More Pictures!

I was going through my pictures from Idaho and just had so many more I wanted to share.

Russell loved sitting on my sisters lap while she attempted to play one handed, as Russell would either hit the piano himself or try to pull her hand off or play with her hand, or eat any of the above. It was funny, as you can see my sister is laughing.
Here is Russell with cousin Alli and Charile. Russell thought that this was hillarious! He was laughing so hard he was having a hard time staying sitting up.

This is my brother that just came home from his mission in Georgia just over a month ago. It was so fun to see him.

This year my parents did a completly veritcal garden. Everything from tomatos, cucumbers, squash to beans are growing UP poles and string. It is very cool. But takes alot of work.

Idaho fun!

Well Idaho was fun and the temperature was so nice! By that I mean not 100+. It was so much fun to see all of my family. And this trip was to see my twin sister get married and it was a beautiful day! :)






Russell turned 5 months in Idaho!
Here is all the Fowers kids and Mom and Dad.

Us at the temple, and Russell is in his PJ still. Ha ha

Russell's Museum Adventure

We took Russell to the Children's Discovery Museum yesterday and had a good time. After Chad was all wet from making giant bubbles, we started thinking we were there more for us than for Russell, but we all enjoyed ourselves. Natalie got good at making giant bubbles that other kids would try to pop. Russell and Chad crawled into this weird box thing.We learned all about the bodily functions in the Grossology exhibit. Russell liked listening to Dr. Nose-alot.

Chad also preformed his first unassisted surgery!

The greater Las Vegas area has an Excessive Heat Advisory for the next while, so we continue to explore the world from the comfort of Air conditioned buildings.

Chad is working on this name plaque for Russell and it is a work in progress.

Cute Boy!

Chad always says that I never put any pictures on of myself. So here is me! And of course a happy Russell.

We are not up to much, we are just going from day to day.
Chad is driving a ton to get to his rotation clear across the valley, but he is learning lots.
Russell and I are just trying to stay out of trouble at home. :)

Bad Habits!

Ok here is a quick story for you, while Russell is sleeping.

 On Monday Chad decided to clean the turtle tank, it had gotten really really dirty. He got everything all clean, and was ready to fill the tank back up. (Chad empties the whole tank when he cleans it) He has a fancy hose that he runs outside, so no bucketing water. 

Anyway he decided to fill the tank by reversing the flow on the hose because the water coming from the tap was warm enough. So he starts to fill it, and I sit down to feed Russell. Chad leaves the room to do who knows what. Russell finishes eating and I sit him up and start to make faces at him, all of the sudden I hear the strangest noise, like splashing water. I look up and the tank is running over on to the movies, my scout stuff, and Chads stereo. I yelled for Chad as I throw Russell's burb rags at the tank. 
We got it all cleaned up and laughed about it, while we did it. 

But the reason I tittled this story Bad Habits is because my family has a pond and my Dad and my sister have left the hose in the pond on too long and have flooded a room or two in the basement. This has happened several times, the last time this happened was a month or so ago, and Chad was giving my sister a bad time about not watching it. So I found it funny that it came around to him. Ha ha ha. 

I think that I got the biggest kick out of all of this! By the way the tank looks GREAT now! :)
