Taking care of his little sister

I was in the kitchen doing the dishes tonight. When I finished I walked into the living room and Genesis had a cracker IN her mouth and Mckay was just bending down with another one and stuffing it in when I said "Oh she probably doesn't want that, but thank you."

Brother and Sister Time

McKay has adored his little sister from day one.  Here are a few pictures of the two greatest joys in our lives.  We hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

Mckay is reading Genesis one of his books and showing her the pictures.  He does this totally on his own.

Wrestling.  (We start them young)

Can you guess who is who?

Have you seen anything cuter than these two kids?  (If your answer is 'yes' then don't answer)

We walked into the living room and we found this.  Mook playing cars with Gens

Mookey invited Gensie to a sleep over and told her to bring her binky

Recent Finds

This posting is for Mom Pearce and Autumn.  Autumn wanted to see the dress for Gensie that I absolutely love, and Mom wanted to see the Playmobil's that I found recently.

House Pictures

This post is for Nani.  She asked Tasha what our house looks like.  Here are the main rooms.  We will post the bedrooms when the kids are not sleeping.

Dining Room
Standing in living room looking in.  The cupboard on the left wall is the salt and pepper cupboard.  The clock is the new one that my wonderful mother-in-law gave me.

Living Room
Looking from front entry.  The piano is to the left.

Living Room
Taken from dining room.  Above the couch is my new clock from Goodwill, minus the clock.  Quinn is fixing something.  The front entry is behind the blue rocker.  Piano is against the far wall, to the right.

Kitchen
We just made cookies, and Quinn hasn't put the dishes away yet.

Today in church

Sacrament meeting had just started and Quinn got asked to pass the sacrament. Just before he stood up to go Gensie started to poop. I said "You can't leave me now what if she leaks"? He said "She'll be fine till I'm done". Well ,we all know how newborns blow when they poop. So I held my hand at the top of her diaper holding it down against her so it wouldn't blow out of her diaper. I had her over my shoulder and Mckay was sitting nicely eating his snacks, when she really started to go. And of course it was loud and right during the quietest part of the meeting. Two young mothers sitting a ways from me turned and stared and laughed the whole time. I couldn't believe they would stare like that so I just sat there patting her on the back acting like I couldn't hear a  thing. A minute later Mckay closed his snack container and started shaking it like a rattle. I had to stop that, then as soon as he saw his dad get up and start passing the sacrament he yelled out at the top of his lungs Daddy. I then started to smell Gensie so I spread a blanked down then a burp rag then laid her on it worried she would leak. I rolled her over to check a minute later and sure enough clear through her onsie, dress, and on the burp rag. Daddy got done passing just in time to take her out of the meeting and he came back in for the last 10 min.

Christmas 2011

When Joseph went to Bethlehem, I think he... forgot Mary?

Tasha has always thought it would be fun to dress the kids up for a Nativity, but Genesis was a little too young this time.  She can be in it next year!

Halloween 2011

Tasha found Quinn's awesome head-dress at DI for $1 a number of months before Halloween, and the closer we came to Halloween the more excited she got to make McKay into an indian brave.  After she put the costumes together and altered them we dressed up and had a great time taking pictures and playing cowboy and indians.  Tasha called herself the fat sheriff (she claims she was 29 months pregnant).  Here are some pictures of our Halloween fun!
