My two little monkeys!

Ty and Mara are funner than a barrel of monkeys!! They keep us laughing by what they say and do. Ty loves singing songs and with the help of primary he is learning many new songs. Today while we were walking up the aisle of the grocery store I heard a little tune coming from the car-cart "Called to serve him Heavenly King of glory..." Ty sings anytime anywhere. In the video Ty is singing a popular song from Fiddler on the Roof "If I were a Rich Man." (Or as Ty sings it "I'll be a rich man...") I heard him singing while I was doing the dishes and I ran in and got the video camera and as soon as it started taping he didn't want to sing anymore, but he did!

Today we went to the park and Ty did the monkey bars all by himself! I was quite impressed and excited for him! There was another little boy there who said to Ty "You can't do those monkey bars, I'm 7 and I can't even do them!" Well Ty showed him and made it to the other side without any help. The little boy was quite surprised and thought Ty was amazing--well, he is!

Little Mara is so silly! She jiber-jabers all day long. She isn't fluent in the English language yet but she is learning new words and sounds! Our favorite is "a-dada-doe" which we hear all day long. It means 'where did daddy go?' One day I ran into the store and the kids waited in the car with Nate, all of a sudden Mara said, "A-mama-moe" or 'where did mama go?'!! Too cute!

Mara's favorite thing at the park is the swings! Today at the park they had a swing-set with ten different swings on it. Most were really low and she could get on by herself. She went from swing to swing making sure she swung on each one! She just giggles and squeels when I push her. I put her on my lap and we went swinging together. She loved it! I could tell it tickled her tummy how she laughed and giggled! It was really fun.
