I came across this cafeteria worker this morning. We took Mark and Suzy to the cheese factory and a cheese lady gave the boys these hats. Spencer was so excited. He thought that he had just been hired on to work in the factory. He kept telling me that we now needed to go buy him some cheese factory clothes for work. I have a fantasy of making cheese but I thought it was only me.It was a cold morning so we bundled the kids up to go to Spencer's soccer game.
Luke was being particularly affectionate. Notice my hands guiding the embrace as to prevent Luke from inflicting pain on the small child.
We love our Lukie.Spencer had a friend come over. They sure had a super time.
Benjamin graduated to the big-kid car seat. It is still hush hush since he is not yet 1 year old, but size-wise, he is there. He LOVES it...but it doesn't show in this picture. Mark and Suzy came up this weekend after the preisthood session on Saturday and stayed until Tuesday. It was so much fun having them. Unfortunately we forgot to take our camera on our big outing. We drove up to beautiful Applegate Reservoir where the men hit golf balls and we all threw rocks into the water. It was splendid. We also spent our time hanging out, going to a few stores, and relaxing. They opted out of the Crater Lake and/or coast adventures that we offer here at the Higginson Hostel Suites.
Thanks for making our weekend so much more eventful. It was a lot of fun.
no photos of you or your guests? i am glad mark and suzy came for a visit. the kids are delightful to look at. gotta love it when the kids get to be in forward facing carseats. i will keep it hush hush... especially since aaron jr was in a forward facing one at about 7 1/2 or 8 months. :)
About Spencer and the cheese factory job; He has said a couple of times, "Dad, you and Mom need to take me to work at the cheese factory and stay there with me so I don't get taken." He is very imaginative.
We are the Higginsons. We hope to use our blog as a way to share our lives with our family and friends.
