Ward Party

Our neighbor serves as the Ward Provident Living Specialist for our church. Last Saturday, she put on a water/Splash party for the ward, to highlight the importance of water in food storage and emergency preparedness. Micah and Abby had an absolute blast and keep asking when we can "do that again?"

Did I mention that my neighbor is also a fabulous photographer? She took every one of these photos...

Thank you, Wheatley's! We had a fantastic time!

Happy Birthday Uncle Cory!

Like I've said before, Micah loves playgrounds. Here he is playing on one of those metal bouncy animals you see frequently at McDonald's Play Land. What you can't tell from this picture is that we were actually at a park in SLC celebrating Cory's birthday. While everyone else was eating Carne Asada Tacos, Spanish rice, fruit salad, and Tres Leches cake, Micah was running around trying out every piece of play equipment. It was a fun day and it was nice to spend Cory's birthday wtih the family.

Funny Story...

A few nights back, I was getting the bath ready for Micah. He was really hot and sweaty because he had gone on a walk with daddy. On the walk, they ran into our neighbors, who also have a two-year-old little boy. So, while daddy talked to the neighbor, Micah and Jacob ran around the yard and jumped on the trampoline. Anyway, I guess I wasn't getting the bath ready fast enough because when I went to get Micah to get him undressed, I found him already in the tub. He was completely dressed, except for one shoe, and he had his favorite Nemo bath toy in the tub with him. I called Heath into the bathoom to see what had happened and Micah just looked at him like, "You should have been faster."

Micah and His Gampy

This picture was taken a couple of weeks ago when Heath's parents were out here visiting. When it was time to leave, Micah held onto Gampy and wouldn't let him go. Later in the day, when Micah woke up from his nap, the first thing he asked for was Gampy. When Heath reminded him that his grandparents had gone home, Micah sadly said, "Popi gone bye bye." I should probably explain some of the teminology used in this post. We call Grandma and Grandpa Garner, "Gammy" and "Gampy." That is how grandparents are referred to in Jamaica. Heath started it when Micah was born and it just caught on. Micah can't quite say the words yet, so his versions are "Mammy" and "Popi".
