Oreo's, Finger Painting and Friends - Life is good!

Most people have a few staple food items that they always have on hand......our family always has Oreo's.  Between Anson and Shaef we go through almost a pack of Oreo's a week (every once in awhile I sneak 1 or 2 as well).  Anson has certain way that he eats Oreo's - holding cookie with 2 fingers, dip in milk until it starts to sink, insert whole cookie in mouth.  Shaef has seen his dad eat Oreo's this way and has decided he wants to follow in his Dad's footseps!  He has the dipping down but he is a little more messy!  

Life is good!

Shaef and I have been doing a lot of little learning activities.  Mostly involving animals since this little man is obsessed with them - but he also loves doing anything hands on. I decided to put away my nervous feelings toward finger paint and just let him be a kid!!!  (Even though I covered the table in place mats and covered him in a shirt....and made him use washable paint.)  

If you can't tell - he had a blast!!  And I even think next time I will relax a little!  Life is good!

I have to give a shout out to these ladies!  We served together in a Relief Society Presidency in our Ward which means we spent many hours together planning, serving, laughing, etc.  Every Wednesday night was our presidency meeting and more often than not, our quick meeting would turn into hours of chatting!  I love these ladies sooo much!  We have now been released but I am so grateful that I was able to serve with such amazing women and get to know them sooo well!  Rebecca (pink), Leesa (back), and Lizzy (front) will always be great friends to me!  

Don't worry that this picture below is terrible - but that is what happens when you have a sub par camera, you are taking the picture (trying to fit 4 people in one little box), we had just eaten the most amazing stake that was sitting in about an inch of butter at Ruth's Chris stake house (hence the shiny faces??)  and it is dark outside!

Life is Good!
