Cutest Kids Alive

 It has already been expressed on this blog that my kids are the cutest. They are. But these pictures are especially cute. It should also be noted that Will looks especially big. And that makes me especially sad.  Sigh. 

Will's new trick of standing up for unlimited amounts of time accompanied with loads of giggling and lots of clapping by the audience:

There has never been a cuter picture. Those dark eyes. Those red cheeks. Those funny teeth because he has his molars and not his canines. That perfect smile. He's so handsome. Oh my little man, I just love you to pieces!

This is probably the cutest picture I have ever taken of the both of them together. Will is standing up, so he doesn't look all squished, Ruth is being nice and not choke-holding him. They both are looking at the camera. Will's car is not the greatest, but that couldn't be helped. Oh I have the two cutest children alive.

Siblings. 

And just so you aren't deceived that these two are as angelic as they look…let me tell you about what happened AFTER the pictures. Sterling worked, so I was flying solo at church today. I had to use the bathroom too many times and it is really difficult to take both kids with you into a stall! Then I told the nursery leaders Ruthie had panties on and that I couldn't come back for an hour cause I'd be teaching. She had an accident. I had extra clothes-but not a church outfit. So she wore a pink-striped long-sleeve shirt under her dress without tights or socks. Sigh. Then Will's bottle leaked but I didn't notice. The front of his shirt was SOPPING by the end of Relief Society. So I took my half-clad children and left as soon as church was over. 

Thank you to the lady who took Will while I got Ruth cleaned up. And thank you to the lady who gave Ruth hugs when she banged her head and I was already trying to manage two bags and a baby in my arms. And thank you to the family who sat behind us and adopted Will when he decided to crawl back there and fed him and hugged him for the rest of Sacrament Meeting. 

Now…back to the cuteness of those pictures. My kids really ARE the cutest, bestest, greatest, most wonderfully beautiful kids alive. I'm so happy they're mine!

Rainy Days

I know we need the rain. But oh, these rainy days are not my cup of tea. At all. I saw a ray of sunshine on Friday morning and called my sister to go outside and get a walk in. But it was windy. And it was a cold wind. She chickened and said we had to go indoors. So we headed to the Hill Aerospace Museum. Ruth had a lovely time. 

Harriet and Ruthie

 K, those little aviator outfits have got to be THE cutest things on their little bodies! 

This lady had Ruth hold one end of a light bulb and then touched a thing on the table to make the light bulb turn on in their hands. Ruth thought it was pretty cool.

Ruth wanted to touch it too!

My sister squishing' her babe.

Cutest boy ever.

Remember how these two are three weeks apart? That's kinda crazy.

Cute picture of Oskar.

Will liked pushing this massive toy barrel around.

Most of the simulators were for ages 8 and over, but Ruth got to sit in a couple and she thought it was pretty awesome.

My sister, Andrea, and Harriet.

Those blue eyes and that blue suit. Looking good Eli!

She didn't really understand this simulator but she though it was interesting anyway.

It looks like Ruth is her little assistant. Love it.

The instructor was teaching Emeline about…some kind of force???…and I caught this picture right as she pulled her arms in and started to spin SUPER SUPER fast. It was awesome. She was a little unsure. Haha.

Emeline was also the brave one who said she would be electrocuted. Several times. Then she conducted the electricity…and her hair stood on end! It was pretty fun stuff. 

This little one is pretty much the cutest little girly girl there ever was. I got her out of the house without a skirt on (we only have so many!) but not without pink.

It was actually a pretty awesome little place--I had no idea that the aerospace museum had a children's room with so many activities! We also looked at some planes, but not many. When we got there the children's area was only open for a little bit longer, so we headed straight to that and then the kids were pretty done when that area closed. It's ok, luckily it's an awesome free activity that we can go back to again and again. Although, not multiple days in a row. So rain, can you please stop? That would be great. Or maybe just rain every night so we can get out of this drought but I can get outside with my kids? Please? Sigh.
