Halloween Costumes

Here are a few pictures of Emma the Witch and Cameron the Pirate. Emma was striking poses; Cameron wasn't too happy about trying his costume on.

Gender Confusion?!?

So Emmalyn was upstairs this morning and I heard her in the bathroom. Not a big deal she's become very capable at going by herself but a moment later she says, "Mom I had an accident." I said, "What happened?" She said she didn't know and that she was just trying to pee standing up and it went everywhere. I started cracking up. How could I be mad at that? Anyway, I reminded her that only boys get to stand up at the toilet and girls have to sit down. She said, "Ooooohhhh." Too funny!!

Funny Little Story

So in the car yesterday Emma and I had a funny little conversation as follows...

Emma: "Mom, I said crap."
Me: "What?"
E: "I said crap"
M: "Well why did you say that?"
E: "I'm frustrated, I can't tie my shoe."

I thought that was pretty funny. I'm not sure how she linked being frustrated with using the word crap:) She probably learned by example. Oops. Not like that is so bad but when I was done laughing I told her we probably shouldn't use that word because it was such a nice one. Then later I was telling Jeff that Cameron ate crap all day and Emma politely reminded me that we are not to use that word. Why is it that some things really stick with only telling them once but the other things like picking up or stop pushing your brother don't register?

We're Back!

I know we've been M.I.A. for a while now. Our computer went down in December and it took a while to get it back up but I haven't been motivated til now to really get on here. Well, except for Facebook. You can just about guarantee I'll be on there every day. Anyway, life has been good here at the Farr household. We had a great white Christmas in Utah and have just been hangin out. I'll get more pics up soon but I wanted to put these up cause they're pretty cute.

Cameron has been teething for weeks now. It's killing all of us! Last Saturday I think he ate half a donut and a chocolate popsicle. As you can see he enjoyed the popsicle.

I went upstairs to do my hair or something and came back down to find this. So sweet!!! Emmalyn was reading her firetruck book to Cameron. Love it!!!

Last night we decided to go get some frozen yogurt and told the kids to get their shoes on. Cameron ran over and picked up the Cinderella dress up shoes. We were crackin up. He loves the dress up almost as much as Emma. Not sure what to do about it but for now we just tell him he's pretty:) Are we damaging him for life???

Annual Santa Pic

 

So we had our Annual Ward Christmas party last Saturday and of course the visit from Santa. Emma was very excited this year to see him. Cameron on the other had well the picture says it all. I love this picture. So a week or so ago Emma asked me what Santa was going to bring her. So I asked her what she wanted and she couldn't come up with anything so of course Jeff and I had already decided what she would want I began to train her what to ask Santa for.
Me, "Would you like your own kitchen to cook in?"
Emma, "Ya!"
Me, "Would you like some food for your kitchen and an apron?"
Emma, "YA!!! and maybe some chairs for me and Cameron to sit in and dishes"

I think the list got longer. Obviously she got the point and will likely be very please Christmas morning:) She has also been watching The Polar Express and now is asking for Jingle Bells from Santa's Sleigh. We'll see what we can do.

Highlights!

Here are some highlights from the last couple of months. Christmas started really early for us this year because we decided we wanted to take our parents to see Wicked and we had to make sure his parents could travel here, etc. We love that show! I've seen it 3 times now and Jeff twice. We had the kids in a tumbling class this fall which was fun. They seemed to like it. Conference of course was great. Emmalyn didn't seem to be able to stay seated a focused though. Tell me a 2 year old that can. She was crackin us up with the dolls, the la la's(blankets) and the fact that she had to park it right on top of us. The whole reason I took a picture of the flip flops was because my sister-in-law had just blogged about breaking her favorite pair just days before mine broke so I was going to blog about mine when it happened but well you know how up to date I am with the blogging. Anyway, that one is for you Kylie. I'm going to keep you all posted on Emmalyn's hair. Why? you may ask. Well, just because it kills me that my almost 3 year old has less hair than many 6 month olds and I am very excited to see it growing. Even though she hates to have me comb it or do pigtails or anything to it. I took Emma to the open house at the Fire Station because she LOVES fire trucks. We had a good time. Jeff and Cameron were off to St. George for his cousin's wedding. Like many of you we also spent some time campaigning for Prop 8 and I just had to share with you the vandalism we received. I'm pretty sure I know who did it and while at first I was kinda mad, now I just laugh. Of course there was Halloween. We had a good time this year dressing up as Goldilocks and the 3 Bears. We had a lot of parties and activities so we dressed up a lot and got good use of our costumes. Jeff and I got to stow away to Seattle for 4 days in November without the kids. We had a good time when Jeff wasn't in meetings. It was his annual conference and he was recognized for receiving his FCAS (Fellow of the Casualty Acturial Society) designation. Kids got to go to Grandma and Grandpa Wenny's(Farr) for the week in Utah. We had a great Thanksgiving at my sister Kelly's. We missed Mom and Dad and Maw-Maw and Pa-Pa as they were off to Arizona at my brother's. I have no pictures to show for it but my brother-in-law Dustin or Emeril as we like to call him now made a great turkey. His first one! Then the Saturday after Thanksgiving Jeff and I finally made it around to having our house painted. The picture of him is taking down the shelf above the washer and dryer. It was on there pretty good. Anyway, since then we have been doing home improvements. Just little things here and there. I've decided after almost 4 years of marriage and 2 kids it is time to make my house my own and take pride in ownership:) Well, now done blabbing. I wonder if anyone is still reading or just skipped to the slideshow??? Hmmm...I probably would have just skipped to the slideshow.
