A visit from the police man...

About a month ago Dezi's school had the Police Department come down to do a little career day.  They spoke to the kids about what they do, how they help people and the differences between some of the other community helpers like the firemen.  The kids got to sit on the motorcylces and ATV's and got to go inside a police car.  The officers even let the kids start up some of the vehicles and push buttons to hear the different sounds they made.  I thought it would be a great opportunity to take some pictures of Dezi at a school function but it didn't go as I had hoped.  

Dezi was not at all into wanting anything to do with the police.  Which I have to say is probably Gil's and my fault since we would tell him that if he was not good the policeman would take him away.  Ooops!  But since then we have not mentioned anything about the police man in a negative way and now only talk good things about them.  Whew!

In the picture above you can see how totally unhappy Dezi is about being so close to a police man and sitting on the bike.  I asked him about it later and he said.."But mommy I didn't want the police man to take me away from you."  I feel bad about it now.

In this picture his teacher Ms. Mary is coaxing him to take a photo for his I.D. card.  He eventually did it but you should see his expression on his card.  She also had to be there when they took his finger prints too. 

Oh my Dezi Kain.  He can be so sweet, so annoying, so outgoing, and so shy at any given time.  But I love this little man to pieces!

My kids...

They crack me up!

They love each other!

Are to adorable for words

Are my world!

Are super silly...I love them so!

6 month old Ava...

 Ava is 6 months and I don't like that she is growing up so fast!  I need a "slow motion" button to slow things down.  But, I get to write another list of her accomplishments thus far, Yay!

1.  As you can already tell by the picture above everything is now in danger of the slobber monster!  She'll shove her whole hand down her mouth if she can and has gagged herself  a few times.

2.  She still has that smile that can light up a whole room.

3.  She is now starting to notice that she doesn't like to be out of mommy's sight OR arms.

4.  Still does what girls do best....TALK!  But it's super cute to watch her expressions.

5.  She is now eating baby food.  And does not like prunes at all.

6.  She is constantly blowing bubbles and spitting and especially loves it when I am feeding her.

7.  She can pretty much sit up on her own now and only topples over a little.

8.  She grabs at everything in reaching range. 

9.  She gets angry and flaps her arms when you take a drink from a cup and don't give any to her.

10.  She loves her brother and wants to grab at him when he holds her.  (He doesn't like it but I think it's hilarious to watch how irritated he gets...Is that mean?)

So there's my list for 6 month Ava.  The pictures below are just because she is so darn cute!

So here's a question for ya....
I've seen people post pictures as a collage and even can write on each picture and was wondering HOW DO YOU DO THAT?  Any and all information would be kindly appreciated!  Oh and Thanks a bunch in advance.
