What's Hot, What's NOT

When we were watching the American Idol Finale last week, Carrie Underwood performed and as the camera followed her for her entrance Isaac shouted, "She's Hot!"

I laughed and said "Really? Who else is hot?"

"Naloni's Grandma, I mean, Aunt Cissy."

"She's hot, huh?"

"Yeah, and when I see her next time I'm going to say, 'You're Hot'."

He's right, she's hot!

Which reminds me of the time this winter I put on a v-neck sweater over a tank top and Olivia told me I looked pretty. Then she said, as she pulled the tank down to the v of the sweater, "I wish you were a honey."

I wish I were a honey too. I do my best little girl :)

Mae's First Bath

Then she gets a slathering of oatmeal vanilla lotion and you want to eat her for dessert.

The Weekend

Liv, Isaac, George, and Jason went to a powwow in Duschene and stayed with our friend's the Burson's.

We were in the winner's circle again!

(never had one lesson) ...Ferris Beuller

Isaac won second in the Boy's Traditional category

Liv got third (against some stiff comp. I hear), in Girl's Fancy Shawl

George was on her way out to dance in Tiny Tots and J told her to "go get 'em", and she walked out and clobbered a couple of kids before he could clarify. It's a wonder they didn't throw the white girl out!

This is what Mae and I did...

And a little of this...

Baby wearing is what it's all about folks.

Little Miss Mae

Sweet little Mae...

eats enough to double her birthweight (not really, but you'd think so!).

belches like a large grown man.

is such a beautiful little princess.

Meet Mae

She is sooooo beautiful. Our new little princess. She is as sweet and calm as the day is long. She looks just like Liv did when she was born. She is named after Jason's Maternal Grandmother..

We are OVERJOYED!

So Blessed

Poor George is sick today. Jason took Isaac and Liv to a children's powwow (which I hear they are doing fabulously at), and so we've been snuggling on the couch all day until a few minutes ago.

She woke up and said she didn't hurt anymore, so we went for a walk. She threw up in a neighbor's yard as we walked around the block (poor thing), but as we walked up our sidewalk I had the overwhelming feeling of being soooo blessed to live where we do and have all we do.

As we wait for another addition it gets so nerve-wracking and there are spells of self-pity, but WOW, look at all I have, a georgious and healthy family (WE NOW HAVE VISION AND DENTAL INSURANCE!) and look at this lovely home, belongs on some Norman Rockwell postcard!

"Do this"

Isaac was trying to learn to ride a two-wheeler last year and I guess I'm a crummy teacher. So, we went to a birthday party and his buddy Jaxson got on and said, "Isaac, do this." So, Isaac got on and did this...

He's so talented athletically! I hope we can find some more boys that are up to speed like Jaxson to play with.
