BAR

It's over. 3+ years of all this crazy law-schooling has finally come to an end. Yesterday afternoon Michael finished taking the BAR. Whew! Once we get back home I'll get pictures posted of all of the exciting things Jessica, Chandler, and I did to take up our time.

But in the mean time, here's a little Jessica tidbit:

As we were walking out of the hotel one day we walked past the front desk. Jessica points at the guy at the desk and REALLY loudly says, "Hey! That guy looks like Obama!" How do you react to that one? Luckily he just laughed it off (he lives in ID after all). I think Jessica needs to get out a little more. :)

Garbage

Jessica was unwrapping a Starburst today. She started handing me the wrappers and says, "You're kind of like a garbage." Oh dear. What else is there to say? I am kind of like a garbage.

Rice Cereal!!!

We started Jessica on rice cereal when she was barely 4 months old. It's been nice to just takes things slow with Chandler. I was all for waiting until the 6 month mark (just a couple weeks away), but Chandler has been CRAZY about anyone with food. I have never seen a kid so interested. So we began the adventure a little early. It was, of course, a hilarious thing to watch. And Jessica insisted on helping as well. Wow, kids grow up fast.

Jessica's Hair

I keep debating whether or not to let Jessica's bangs grow out. You've seen what she looks like with them, here she is without. What do you think? Decisions, decisions...

Turtles and washing cars

Jessica had an eventful past week. Michael was walking home from studying at the library and noticed a lemonade stand. I for one promised myself that I would always try to stop for lemonade stands. As he was walking by the little boy came up to him and told him that lemonade was 50 cents, "but if you don't have 50 cents, you can touch a turtle for a quarter!" I about died laughing when I heard that. So we took Jessica off to pet a turtle. Heaven.




Later that afternoon our next-door neighbor's grandson's were over. They're a little older than Jessica, but she likes playing with them. They had a blast washing toy cars, sitting in buckets, and playing with swords - something Jessica had no experience with. :) She's still talking about it.

Just some picts

Here are just a few resent pictures that are cute.

Sorry for the Jessica underwear shot. :) This just cracked me up.

Jessica wanted me to make her an outfit out of paper as well as an umbrella. This is what I came up with.

Cute boy.

Saturday in Salt Lake

Jessica and Michael took a trip to Salt Lake for the weekend. We were all going to go, but I was sick with a cold so Chandler hung back with me. Michael wanted to test drive a Volvo. No, we are NOT getting a car right now, but Michael just wanted to see what driving a car with horsepower feels like. Then they met up with Michael's sister Carly for lunch. They had fun at the Gateway and Temple Square. Here are a few pictures:

As you can tell, it was pretty hot, and Jessica can jump in those fountains very quickly.

Jessica's bike

Remember that bike I got for Jessica at a garage sale a while back? We've been using it on and off since then, but she hasn't been too big on riding since she hadn't gotten the hang of it. Today it was like it just clicked. She was riding up and down our driveway and all over. Too cute.

Sadly, she had a few spills along the way as well.

I'm proud of you monkey!

4th of July

It was a pretty typical 4th - parade, BBQ, fireworks. We all had a fun time. Both Jessica and Chandler were up for the fireworks which was crazy, but good.

Last year, on our way home from the fireworks, Chandler got to me for the first time and I threw up right next to this tree (Sorry, TMI, I know). It sure is nicer a year later to have him out and not causing my stomach problems. :)

A lovely picture Jessica took at the fireworks.

Jessica at the fireworks - you never know what you're going to get with this girl. :)

I just had to share some of the latest pictures of these guys. LOVE THEM!
