May 14th

Grandma and Grandpa Fluharty have lots of fun toys for Liam to play with. He especially loved the pizza guy Elmo, with the talking pizza, and this mosquito.

May 12th

Elder Todd Choules entered the MTC on Wednesday, May 12th. He will be going to Phoenix, Arizona on June 3rd. We drove down to Utah on Tuesday night (the 11th), went to dinner at the Olive Garden, hung out with the Ferraris, and drove back to SLC to stay at Mike's Mom's house. On the 12th, Whitney, Kambree, and their kids went with my parents to drop Todd off at the MTC. (BTW- I stole these pictures from Todd's facebook page, posted by Whitney.)





Then Whitney wanted to get some pictures of the temples around the valley for her temple series. Kinlee, Saige, and Peyton went with Grandma and Pa-pa home to Pocatello while Whitney and Kambree drove to the temples. I met up with them at the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. We then went to Jordan River, then to Draper. I didn't get any pictures of Draper because I had to pick Mike up from work. Holy huge houses around there, though! Whit- I need pictures that you took from there, as well as Provo and Mt. Timp.




I couldn't resist getting some cute pictures of my little peanut! He loved playing in the grass. I think these pictures turned out really cute.

May 9th

Farewell Sunday for Elder Choules. Todd spoke in sacrament meeting- Did a great job. These are the Barker and Ferrari boys with Todd:

We were also trying to get some good photos of all the Choules grandkids wearing their matching Easter clothes. Liam was totally fine with taking pictures, but the girls weren't. Peyton wouldn't look at the camera or scoot near Liam. Kinlee didn't want to be put down from her mommy's arms. Saige did well, though. She is such a good big sister/ cousin. She loves the little ones. They all looked so cute, though.





Shaylee and Daniel

Kevin and Mike comparing arm length, I think.

May 5th

We arrived in Pocatello on Monday, May 3rd. Liam adjusted well and had lots of fun hanging out with his cousins. My parents have been working on their house and it is looking amazing! This picture of Liam is in their dining room. The wood floor is beautiful, the trim is beautiful, the windows are beautiful. I love it!

May 5th was my niece, Kinlee's, first birthday. Kam and Kevin ordered a really cute cake, decorated the house in pink and brown, had yummy snacks, a pinata, and about 40 people at the party.

This was pre-party playing with Pa-Pa.





Saige and the spread:



Kinlee's personal cake. This thing ended up all over her face and clothes.


The birthday girl. Her mommy made her clothes- in pink and brown, of course! She's a doll!


I missed the pinata and didn't get any pictures of Kinlee eating her cake... Whit and Kam- send me some of those. It was fun. I think all the kids really had a great time and the adults had fun eating and talking.

Liam wishes us all a happy May Day!

This first image is not from May 1, but sometime last week. He has been pulling himself up for several weeks, but it took him a bit to learn how to let himself back down. However, he has now mastered it, and here he is in the midst of plopping his bum down to the ground:


These pics are from today. I didn't have the flash on, and Photoshop isn't helping much:



Finally, here are a few videos that we took. Our peek-a-boo shouting war deserved a couple of takes, so you'll hear the same introduction. Chels and I decided they were both cute enough to post.

Happy May Day!

The naked escape

Liam loves to climb the stairs. He also loves to be naked. One night after his bath he decided to escape before I could get his diaper on him. Where did he go? Up the stairs, of course!

Pacifier, cookie, same difference, right?
