kate's little personality is really starting to come out. she is becoming more independent, yet if anybody else is around, she wont let me out of her sight. she'll walk up to me and say "hi mommy!" and rest her little head on my leg. she is really sweet sometimes! she can be feisty,though. if i am standing too close to her while she is doing something, (such as taking a drink from my water bottle), she'll say "no move". today while i was cleaning the kitchen, she insisted on helping me when i was wiping off the pantry door. "no my do it" she said. so i let her. might as well train 'em young, right?

happy birthday mimi!
yesterday we went to my mom's work at southwest gas to say "happy birthday" to her. she is mimi to the kids because when johnny was a baby, my mom decided she didn't want to be called "grandma" and went with "grammy". ( a younger, more hip version of the word grandma) so, when she was trying to get johnny to say "grammy", he couldn't say it right and out came "mimi". and after saying "mimi" a few times we decided it was actually really cute and it has been mimi ever since. the kids were a hit at the office, johnny did his booty shakin' dance, sang happy birthday, and invited everybody to chuck-e-cheese about 20 times. kate had fun playing with all mimi's fun stuff in her office.
johnny brought her a mickey mouse balloon, but didn't want to actually GIVE it to her!
she's just like mimi... all girl, (note the pink sparkly mouse) but knows how to take charge!

my little baby is becoming a boy
johnny is at such a great age. he is ready to be a little person and do things on his own. he really makes me laugh on a daily basis. lately he has a new dance where he sticks his butt out and sings "shake your booty"! and let me tell you, the boy has rhythm. he is still potty training... a few accidents here and there, but i'm not quite ready to take the plunge and leave the house without a diaper on. he has been picking out his own outfits lately and the other day family was coming over and he was so excited, so he went upstairs and got some clothes on. his outfit consisted of the following: a tom brady jersey, pink shorts, bart simpson socks, and black church shoes. he pretty much had all of his bases covered. don't ya think? and for the next picture... i hope i'm not the worst mom for posting a naked picture of my kid, but i can't stop laughing at it! sometimes after he goes on the potty, he'll just hang out naked for a minute until i tell him to put his clothes on. he's already a total boy because he can't stop touching his you-know-what. well, i gave him these pirate stickers he found in his room, and the next thing i know........
hmmm, what a good place to put stickers!

summer fun
today while we were at target, i decided to get the kids a fun little pool for the summer. it has a cute little slide that sprays water and i'm sure will give the kids many hours of splashing around in the backyard over the next few months. johnny has already figured out how to move the slide out of the pool and aim the sprayer at kate.

a little adjusting
johnny has had a tough time adjusting to the new "souse"(he calls it). the first night we spent the night, he kept saying "i wanna go home" and i said "we are home" and he said "no, home!" it made me feel sad because i thought he would love a bigger house with more room for his toys, but especially a yard to run around! but i guess kids have a harder time breaking routines. we have been here a few weeks now and almost every day he says he wants to go to the "old house". the downstairs is all tile so they ride bikes all over the place. the only other issues we are having are #1. the kids keep chucking their toys over the railing to the downstairs. quite a mess. #2. johnny keeps chucking his toys over the back wall. our house backs up to a busy street, but there are plants and trees and stuff by the sidewalk. i noticed the toys were back in our yard the other day, so i was pleased that the groundskeeper guys figured they were ours and threw them back over.

we moved!
ok, so i'm finally posting again. we moved this last month up to summerlin. and we had a bug guy come so we only see dead roaches here. the internet wasn't hooked up for a few days, and then i wanted to take a picture of the new house, but oh well. we got the keys at the beginning of may, and the movers came two weeks later. we think we are going to like the new ward. we actually know a few people. and are way excited to be 5 minutes from work.
