Fun Family Visit

See any similarity? :-)
I wish you could see this hat better... Grandma Brown came with this ADORABLE knitted hat that looks like an old-fashioned pioneer hat. I LOVE it! I am actually contemplating making her an old-fashioned pioneer outfit for Halloween to go with it! It is so cute! Here is Mom holding Ellie with her new hat! Obviously she is quite happy!
This past weekend, we had General Conference, where we can watch church from our computer! During one of the sessions, they had a kids choir singing all the songs... it was fantastic! Alex was the funniest! As soon as he heard the kids singing, he ran over to watch. Then he proceeded to run around to find our hymn book. Then he found it and was trying to have it open, while climbing up into the chair. Both weren't going to work. So, he then proceeded to finally close the book, put it on the chair, and then climb up. He promptly got up, turned around, and sat down... on the book. Then he tried and tried and tried to pull out the book from under him... it took him a while! He eventually scooted it out in front of him. Then he placed the book on his lap, and opened it up.... whew!!!! What a fiascal! It was so cute watching him without him knowing!
Well, if you can spell phonetically, you may know that this is the phrase the boys built in the tub the other night, "Soon, G-2 Will be 5" G-2 is Glenn's nickname now... his Grandpa D, is G-1. Anyway, they were quite pleased with their creation...
And now that Glenn is going to be 5 in less than a week, he can finally ride his bike without training wheels! He's been bugging us for a while to do this... he said that he can ride with 2 wheels now, because he can ride the tandem with 2 wheels! What he didn't realize is that the reason he could ride the tandem, was because Todd held the bike up! But he was convinced! Anyway he is loving life, now. All the neighborhood kids were out in force showing Glenn how to ride... it was very cute! He had his own neighborhood cheering squad! Way to go Glenn!
And Alex LOVES shoes. As soon as you mention anything about leaving, he runs to get the shoes of whoever is leaving! Very cute! Grandpa D was saying he was leaving over by the computer, so Alex ran to get his shoes under the bench, and run them over to Grandma Brown right away! Grandpa Brown then came back over to the bench to put them on. As you can see, Alex did his best to help him tie his shoes!

Well, we're having a great time with Grandma and Grandpa Brown! Ellie is LOVING the attention. She has a smile for everyone! Even when she had a little cold, she slept horribly, but still smiled whenever anyone paid attention to her during the day! What a blessing she is! We're off to the coast today, so hopefully we'll have some good pictures from that! I also have to post our garden harvesting pictures! We've got enough zucchini to last us through the next century :-) Take care!
