Lleyton the Ghost

Daddy and Lleyton love to spent Sat morning playing in the blankets. So this comes as no surprise to see Lleyton playing ghost with Amie. What a fun big brother!!

Oops!!

Before I had kids I never thought of my self as clumsy. Silly yes, but butter fingers was never a nickname of mine. But now that I'm older and Wiser?? I apparently have become very clumsy. My latest blunder was a fully ready to eat lasagna. One minute I was taking it out of the oven, the next I am watching it fall to the floor with a great big splat!! We had a good laugh about it. I'm sure this Lasagna will not be my last victim. May my life be full of more Laughable moments like this!!

Halloween 2008

Lleyton was a Dragon and Amie was a Pumpkin. Lleyton had lots of fun trick or treating. At first he didn't want to leave the first house we came to. He saw the big bowl of candy that they had and wanted to stay. then we told him we had to go to a different house to get more candy. It didn't take him to long to move on from house to house. Sorry the pictures are blurry. Toddlers and babies don't hold still very well.

Yum!!

Amie is such a great eater. Just a LITTLE on the messy side. Here are some cute pictures of her eating. She did the walrus all by her self. She just can't help stuffing her mouth to the brim. I must be a baby thing. The one of her on the floor is a common picture in our house. We lovingly call Amie our little Vacuum. Lleyton dropped his dry cereal on the floor. Amie been the helper that she is immediately helps her brother pick up the cereal. Of course this upsets Lleyton because she eats all his cereal.

Fun With Dad!!

The Coffy family loves to read. We go to the Library more then anywhere else. Here is a picture of Lleyton reading next to dad.


Here is a video of Amie and daddy playing together. Amie has a very deep sort of laugh. make sure you turn on the volume!!

Yellow!!

Lleyton runs up to me so excited about something. He was jumping up and down saying Yellow. I did want all moms do. I just said "that great honey" and went on with my business. then, he started saying "help clean". He had baby wipes in hand and was wiping his body with them. I looked at the wipes and saw that they were yellow. I thought that was strange. So, I looked Lleyton over and realized that he is Yellow. At first I thought he was coloring on him self with crayon. but it wasn't crayon. then he brought me a stamp. He has gotten in to my stamp pad and used it to color his body. I took pictures then gave him a bath. It took a week for all the yellow to come off. So here are some pictures of my Yellow son.

Good Bye Wisdom!!

I finally got my wisdom teeth out. They put me out with an IV. Not only did I get my wisdom teeth removed. They also put in 2 crowns(because of my wisdom teeth) and a ton of fillings were redone. Everything went well during the procedure except I got nauseated from the medicine and threw up on a nurse. They said it happens all the time. Two weeks later I can almost eat on both sides of my mouth. Boy does it take a long to time to heal!!! I recovered faster from having a baby then from this.

Utah State Fair

On Thursday we when to the Fair. We all had a great time. They had this great area set up for kids called Little Hands on the Farm. They start out with an apron and basket. Then they follow a trail to get some feed. Then they move on to a huge cow. Lleyton stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the big cow, the girl behind us when in front of us and showed Lleyton how to put the feed in the trough. You could even milk the fake cow. Lleyton was too intimidated by the size to be interested in milking it. then they give you a carton of milk to put in your basket. Next was the garden, you plant a seed(token) in the garden then on the other side you pick up the veggie you planted. Next was driving the tractor(tricycle). Lleyton filled it up with gas then took it for a spin. Then you sell your products at the market and they give you a play dollar, they then let you go shopping to spend your dollar. You could buy cereal or an apple. After little hands, Lleyton wanted to go down the big yellow side. Rich took him up to the top. Once they were at the top Lleyton started back down the stairs. Maybe next year I will take him and just grab him and slide. Then we went to see the farm animals. the pig in the picture was 800 lbs. WOW!! we then saw some sheep. Lleyton even got brave and Petted the sheep. next came the Cows. I can't believe I'm saying this but, those cow were gorgeous. They were all freshly groomed and glowing. I just wanted reach out and pet them. Of course I didn't be cause I'm not a farm animal petting kind of girl. Over all it was a great day. There is nothing better then spending the day with your family.

Frog Prince any one??

While unpacking boxes Lleyton discovered his frog Halloween costume from last year. He just had to have it on. Next thing I know he is rabbiting around the room like a frog. Kids are so fun!!

Skateboarding in the Kitchen

Lleyton has such a great imagination. Lleyton and Amie were playing in the kitchen and living room. Lletyon starts yelling Skateboard, mommy skateboard. Of course it really sounded like sketbarrd, mommy Sketbarrd. Lleyton was laying on is tommy with a plastic container that had his inside. he was pushing himself across the floor. Saying weeee, mommy weeee. I got him on cameara while he was then pushing his homemade "skateboard" across the kitchen floor.

Cute Bums

Who says diapers are ugly. I found this great pattern to make my own cloth diapers. They are called Rita's Rump Pocket. They Turned out great. I made 17 of them. I used 3 different flannel prints from Wal-mart. It was just my luck that the flannel was even on sale. I spent less then $18. So they were just a little over a dollar for each. yeah, that is like buying a month of disposable diapers. they are a one size diaper so, they will last until potty trained. I just use my flat diapers to stuff the pockets and they work great. the stars and flower one are my favorite. the Frog one is a strange. there eyes just kind of pop out at you.

Big Helper

I like to make my own baby food. To make cereal I just put some rice or oatmeal in the blender and blend away. but, my blender decided that it was not going to blend rice or oatmeal any more. So, I found an alternative. I pulled out the hand grinder and went to town. Lleyton thought it looked like fun and joined in. He had a blast taking turns winding and using a spoon to push the grains down. What a great helper he is!!

Fun with markers

Lleyton just loves to color. this is his first experience with markers.

We made it!!!!

We have made it safely to UT. It was a long trip. The kids did great. Sorry, I forgot to pack my cord to my camera so i could download pictures to the laptop. My memory space is very small so I only took a few pictures before it was full. We were able to spent a few days in MO with some friends. We went to the Kansas City Zoo while we were there. I will be getting more Zoo pictures soon.

Watch me go!!

Amie is crawling!! I wanted to get her on camera so Lleyton and I where trying to entice her with all kinds of toys. She just stared at us. then she saw a sticker on the floor and started going for it. Go figure.

Update to story time with Lleyton

Lleyton is no longer allowed to have story time without strict adult supervision. A few weeks ago Lleyton was reading to Amie in her crib like normal. So, I went to do something in my room. a minutes later. Lleyton comes in my room shaking his finger at me saying "No, No, baby. That's a No No book." So I went in the kids room to see Amie destroying the book. Yes, it was a Library book. lucky for me i got it in time before more damage was done. Since it was just one destroyed page the library didn't charge me. Every time I think about what happened I just have to laugh. Lleyton gets so serous when it comes to Amie doing something that is a No, no. He is such a mother hen to her. He just loves his baby Amie.

Sore gums

Nothing soothes sore gums like a Popsicle!! Yummmm. (No, I didn't open it)

Story time with Lleyton

Lleyton just loves "His" baby. Today Lleyton had story time with Amie. I heard Amie wake up from her morning nap and I also heard Lleyton talking. At first i was upset because I knew she needed to sleep longer and that Lleyton woke her up. He just hates to let her sleep during the day. So, I walked in to the room and saw Lleyton reading a book to Amie. I just had to take a picture. He is such a sweet big brother. Even thought he likes to wake her up.

I'm Sitting!!

Amie is doing a great job of sitting by herself.

Paper Towel Fun

Amie is learning and discovering new things everyday. Her latest discovery is the paper towel rack next to her bumbo seat. Here are some pictures of her caught in the act.

Signing with Lleyton

To help understand Lleyton's babble. I decided to teach him sign language. We found a great video called Signing time with Alex and Leah at the library. This is a video of what he has learned. sorry about his head being cut off. I had to help him some. he got camera shy.

First Meal

This is Amie's first taste of real food. She loved it.

Dinner Time Fun

This is old but so cute. I just had to add it. It was taking in Dec. 07.
