Chad's Birthday & More

So For Chad's B-Day we went camping! He has been so excited to go for a long time now. So we finally just went! Here Chad and Russell are in front of his last years bday presents the humongous tent! It is hard to set up when the wind is blowing as hard as it was but it is so worth it! The space, need I say any more? Dad and Russell

Anderson, Owen, and Russell playing with toys while the guys take the tents down.

Russell wanted to touch the tree top.

Russell loves to help me push the laundry to where ever it needs to go. He laughs the whole time.

Priceless black male picture!

This must be how the babies breath got it's name! This is how Russell "Smells the Flowers" he thinks it is so funny!

Loves and bugs

Chad's Shoes are looking good on our little man. I always stretch at the table in the morning and yesterday Russell thought it was funny to copy me!

Aren't they so cute?!

Russell loved this little lady bug for about 10 minuets or so he even gave it the chance to crawl away but it decided to keep crawling on him, so he turned it inside out faster than I could blink. It was sad and he did not understand why it was not moving anymore.

Grandparents!

Grandma and Grandpa Johnson got to come and see us this weekend! They went and enjoyed a show and Chad and his Dad went to the Supercross races. And we went and played at the pool and we went to the all famous train tunnel hike. It was really nice and we had lots of fun! Thanks for coming to visit Grandpa and Grandma!

Buckets of Fun!

BYU Idaho sent us this bib, isn't it cute? We don't even know how they know we had Russell.

I gave Russell a piece of broccoli and some cauliflower he tried both and chose the broccoli.

This is banana face

Have to brag

We have the funnyest little boy! The other day Russell found a shower cap and I showed him where it goes (on head) and that is where he insisted it stay for quite a long time. He makes us laugh all the time!

I also, for the first time on my own, successfully made french bread that turned out! They may not look beautiful, but hey it worked! Now I have a LOT of french bread!

Talk to Dad

Russell likes to talk to Chad (Dad) on the phone whenever Chad calls I let him say hi to him. So the other day I gave him an old phone that looks a lot like mine and, well you can see for yourself.

Random Fun!

So some good cheap entertainment:

We LOVE to play outside, yesterday I filled this bucket up with water and let Russell at it. He thought that it was great fun! He thought it was funny to try and pick the water up with his little hand and get it out. He was not very successful. He also thought it was cold. But fun.

Give your little musician your kitchen appliances, a spoon, a bowl, or even your pots!

Give your child an oven mitt and he will wear it around the house all day long and let you know that there is something in the oven that he needs to get out.

Russell also got into my muffin mix and made a mess, but he had fun. Chad took this picture, he kept telling me to get out of it.I was trying to keep Russell from making a bigger mess, and trying to get his clothes off.
