What's up girl!

Look familiar... this is Micah's favorite outfit. That's because it's orange head to toe. He's quite a sight when he wears it with his green shoes. How does it look on Lauren? I think it makes her look like a little boy!

Tonight we went to the pool and walked home in the stroller... Lauren ate teddy grahams the whole way. They must be her favorite... she gets so excited when she sees the bag, she starts whooping and hollering for them, it's pretty cute.

Goodbye Holladays!

What a great trip! Here's a couple of pictures before we said goodbye. Micah is missing the attention and Lauren, the entertainment (Penny)! We tried to trick her with a stuffed cocker spaniel but it was a no go!

Lake Trip

At the Lake with the Holladays! View our slideshow- it's so much fun!!!!Love, Micah and Lauren

We had three very fun days at the lake with Grandma and Papa Holladay, Megan and Alex. Dad had a few days off and Penny came too, it was lots of fun. Check out the pictures and you'll see what I mean!!!

Goodbye Wisconsin!

Here are the last photos of our trip to Wisconsin.... Lauren in the tub with Grandma Cindy, Micah and Lauren with their "other" parents... what a cute looking little family! And Lauren and Micah posing with Grandma and Papa Wilson. We had a great trip and can't wait to visit again!!!

Strawberry Jam...

Not apricots... strawberries this time... with "a little bit of peach"... I am a coniseur of fine jams... made by me!!! -MICAH

Camels at the Zoo

My Slideshow 8/15/07 Click here to view a slideshow of my trip to the zoo!!! Love, Micah

The zoo was great, so maybe it was drizzling the whole time but that didn't stop me! We saw camels, zebras, lions, tigers, polar bears, kangaroos, koalas, elephants, giraffes, penguins, just to name a few of my favorites. My mom gave me the choice of a camel or a pony ride... well camel of course mom! check out the pictures. I wanted my mom to ride with me but she didn't want to break the camels back.... she told me later the man said a camel can carry up to 2000 lbs!!! I don't think it would have hurt for her to ride too!

Water play time!

Playing with water is always fun... outside or in the tub. Here are some cute pictures of the kids in their towels at Grandma's house.

Micah and Lauren love playing outside with the pool in the nice warm weather. I think Micah thinks he's surfing... he must have Wisconsin and California confused!

The Lake House

These are pictures of our day at the Lake. My parents bought a small lake property and we went fishing. It's so great! We had our first barbeque there and ate a couple of fish that we caught. Micah liked it too. You can see a little of the house in the background of one of the pictures. Lauren wasn't crazy about a life vest, I guess it was too confining for her! Micah caught the first fish, a bluegill,and it was tasty!

Melissa and Aaron's Wedding

My Slideshow 8/12/07 Click here to view our slideshow!


These are pictures from the wedding, starting with dinner the night before, followed by the temple pictures and the reception. It was beautiful!

Fun at Papa Russ and Grandma Cindy's house

These are a few misc. pictures from the Wilson's house. The first two are of Micah playing with the rocket sprinkler with Uncle Dan. Next is a cute picture of Micah at Red Robin with a funny hat (the table topper for the menu at the restaurant). Then there is a picture of Micah with Miriam and a picture of Maralee and Lauren. Last is a picture of Micah in the "transformer car", or convertible as the rest of us call it. He got to ride in it on a date with Miriam to McDonald's for a happy meal!

The Plane Trip

So... we all made it to Wisconsin in one piece! Two kids, 6 suitcases, 2 car seats, a stroller and other misc. gear. One layover and one big delay, the President flew into Minneapolis with Air Force One so we were delayed to land for an hour because he had to take off... but none the less we made it. It is ironic, Micah was SO GOOD on the airplane, Lauren in our wild child. She can't sit still for her life but that just adds to her charm, ask the people sitting behind us on the plane! This as I'm reading an article in my parenting magazine about how much easier it is to travel with a baby over traveling with a toddler... go figure!

Family pictures in Nauvoo

The Nauvoo Temple

Some highlights of our fun trip to Nauvoo! Were there for two days but we managed to squeeze in a wedding, a trip for Mom and Dad to do a session at the temple, visits to the Bakery, Blacksmith Shop, Brickyard, The Trail of Tears, we played pionerr children's games, we took a Ox Cart ride, saw the Nauvoo Brass Band and visited the Old Nauvoo Cemetery where Scott's relatives are buried. You can see more of our pictures by visiting our slideshow by clicking the link... The wedding pictures will be posted seperately so stay tuned!

Waterslide MANIA!!!

Check out our trip to Noah's Ark.... supposedly the biggest waterpark in the US. Lauren went on a couple slides (not her favorite) and Micah went on most of them, he had the best day of his life, honestly. These pictures are a couple highlights if you don't watch the slideshow.
