Well Colby is getting to be such a big boys, he is starting to get some chunk to him. Hali did too around 3 months old. He eats a lot- we are trying out the rice cereal and some solids like bananas and sweet potatoes.I know it seems early but he eats more than 9 times a day and can sit up well in a high chair and he wants to eat my food so maybe he will be fuller with real food. We think he might already be getting a tooth because he slobbers all over the place and chews on his fingers all the time. He is so fun to play with, he is an easy going boy most of the time and loves to smile. He is almost done wearing all his 3-6 month onesises and is moving into his 6-9 month pj's. He is laughing now. He is working on blowing raspberries in the movie. Eva taught him and he does it every once in a while. It is so cute!

Happy Birthday Hali
Hali is now 2 years old. She is getting to be such a big girl! We decided to have a party for her, kind of last minute, but it turned out great. I have a great friend that let us borrow her jump house for the party. The kids had so much playing on it, Hali was a hoot. I am so glad my parents have such a big backyard we were able to pull it off and have room to run around and have other kids on the swing set and slide play set. After playing a while we ate homemade pizza, opened presents, had cake and ice cream and topped it off with a pinata. It was fun to watch all the kids try to hit the pinata and pick up the candy. I just wanted to thank everyone for the Birthday wishes and cute presents for Hali, she loves them all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON!
Well Aaron is now 27 years and 3 days old! I think Aaron actually enjoyed his birthday this year. Aaron usually tells me not to spend money on him or that there is nothing he wants, but I usually do not listen. It is really hard to surprise him or get him something he wants. Why do people do that to others? It makes it really hard to buy a present. Anyway this year he had no idea what I got him and he liked all the gifts. Especially because he had to play the "Price is Right" game in order to win the presents and the final prize, if he got all the prices right. Aaron is really good at this game and he of course won all the gifts. Happy Birthday Babe! Thanks for a wonderful year together and I look forward to many many more!

The funny thing she does
She answers the phone now. When the phone rings she yells "awwww I'm gonna get it," as she runs for the phone. Then she picks it up and says "hi ... wait a minute"if its for me or continues the conversation with whom ever it is, usually Grampa.
I told Hali the other day to come so I could changer her diaper and she started to leave the room. I told her to come back and she bent her knees and pointed her finger at me and said "Ii'm gonna be right back" (saying right back really fast). She says it all the time and she usually does come right back.
If I ask her where something is she will say, "it's on the couch behind you." or "on the floor behind you," even if it's not but its always behind me what ever it is.
Monday morning she is eating breakfast and she says, "where'd Eva go?" and I said, "to work1" and she says "I don't think so!" (saying the "I don't" part really fast) We skyped Lizzy on Sunday and Lizzy was putting her finger in her nose and Hali said "Lizzy picking her nose... I don't think so." She uses it like we do when she is doing something she is not supose to, she picks up on everything. that afternoon as we drove home from church she says, "Mama... I want lunch...fries...and dip." This girl cracks me up.
Aaron and I finally bought a van 2007 ford freestar because it was only 7900 dollars with 50000 miles and it is leather and a dvd player! Dvd player did't work when they sold it to us but Aaron fixed it so I really like the van it's perfect for us. Hali always asks to watch a movie and she is usually stays quite. Now I fell like I can go places, its so nice.
Aaron took his introductory flight on Saturday and he loved it. It's all he wants to do now- buy a plane, fly a plane, he is pretty excited. He flew a really nice plane it was a 2007 little blue spots plane.He flew over Lake Camanche, which is like 50 miles away. The video footage below is of him flying 30 feet above some hills it was a beautiful day. He is not sure there is enough money in it to make it a career, but something he enjoys. Which I think is great.

Family Reunion
We had most of my family here this week so it has been very exciting and eventful! My sister and her 3 kids from Seattle Washington drove all night and got here just in time for a Valentines Day breakfast. We had eggs, bacon and I made heart shaped pancakes for the kids. They liked them- I think. It was so nice to see them and I finally go to meet Amy Marie who is now almost six months old! She is such a cute and happy baby. Here's a summary of our week:
Amy Marie
Sunday: Colby's blessing- Aaron's family from Fairfield and L.A. were able to come so we had a full house. We had a nice lunch, passed Colby around and just enjoyed having a lot of family around for a while. I learned that David is very good at getting Colby to smile and even laugh a bit, it was so cute to watch the two of them.

Monday: Aaron was scheduled to go on an introductory flight but the weather was horrible so it was postponed till the 28th. Maybe then we can see if Aaron is a true pilot at heart. The Cheney’s arrived later that day. We had Lizzy go wake up Hali from her nap it was great to see them together again. Now we had all of the grandchildren together.
Tuesday: we, the Grigg's and the Cheney's went to the Jelly Belly factory and enjoyed the free samples and bought 6 pounds of belly flops! Hali and Lizzy held hands and looked out the windows at the Jelly Belly's, it was precious. It was well worth the drive getting there and back all the kids loved it! We started a 1000 piece puzzle that night that Aaron Grigg got at the Jelly Belly factory.
Wednesday: Stockton Children's museum with Grandma. I stayed with Hali, Lizzy and Mom most of the time. Hali loved getting into everything like the bus, helicopter, police car, fire truck, and tractor. She even let David paint her face! Lizzy did not like that too much- she thought it was too messy. For dinner I made some homemade pizza. It was one of Mikes favorite things to make and everyone loves it when he does, so I decided to give it a try. The pizzas were not exactly the same but I guess they were good enough because there were 3 pizzas and no leftovers. Hali and Lizzy loved hanging out with each other watching "ariel" or "cilarella" They danced and chased each other all over the house. Hali started to call lizzy "lizzy Ann" which is what I call her sometimes or "Elizabeth" and when chasing her or looking for her she would say "lizzil bizzil" which is what Aaron calls Lizzy. It was pretty funny to hear it coming from her.

Thursday: the boys all went shopping while the girls watched the kids and chatted. It was a nice day so the kids played outside. David and Timothy played very nicely with Hali and Lizzy for about an hour, that was so nice. David took some pictures of all the grand children. We also worked more on the puzzle. It kept us all very entertained for a few days it was fun to work on it all together, a great buy for 5 bucks. We finally got it together later that night but we are missing one piece, which really sucks.

Friday: everyone left early this morning, a sad departure, now the home is quiet and a bit more dull but we will survive. I enjoyed everyone here while it lasted and I must say we have a great family because I miss them all already.
Hali enjoys watching Cinderella and Peter Pan all the time. She loves the part when the mice tease the cat, she laughs and says "Oh that's silly." lately she has been going around saying "okay honey," or "what are you doing honey" anything with honey, it's pretty cute. She loves her new baby brother she likes to hold him and help change his diapers. She holds out the diaper and asks Colby "stinky diaper? Wanna change diaper? okay!" than begins opening the diaper for me and unbuttons his p.j. "wipe? okay" than pulls out the wipes. well it keeps her entertained. Hali can be a real punk at times she says "no" a lot and "leave me alone" or "go away." Luckily she only says it one or twice and forgets about it. She likes to tell us to “wait a minute.. okay,” when we ask her to do something. The latest thing she says is "Mom!Come here right now!" She also calls herself Hali Mae in third person like today she went up to big Dave and said "Hali Mae wants to go shopping." She is growing too fast I tell ya.
Colby is smiling a lot now and cooing-close to laughing. He is also reaching for toys and lifts his head. He is growing well and looks a little like Hali when she was this age and a lot like his dad.
