Hall Family Blog, Take two.....

Okay, so at this point, I think it would be too hard for me to go back and try to cover what has been going on since my last blog post. From the threatening e-mails I have gotten from irritated family and friends that I haven't posted anything since March - especially pictures of the kids - I figured our family was safer if I just jumped back into it and tried blogging again. It is harder than you might think to find time to sit down at the computer uninterrupted, but I figured if I have time to sell things on e-bay, I have time to blog. Just as a warning, posts may be short, especially since when I sit down at the computer, Parker automatically starts yelling, "Mommy, I need your help...out HERE! "(meaning not in our room where the computer is, but out in the front room where his toys are.) His other favorite thing to do is drive his hot wheels over the keyboard while I am typing, so that may account for lots of typos in my blog posts. BUt I guess something is better than nothing. Here goes:

Here is a pretty recent pictures of the kids playing in bed. Yes, Wyatt is a little squshed, but he is uesd to that with the size of his sister. SHe outweighs him but at leats 3-4 pounds. Parker likes to get in their cribs with them and jump. Safe? probably not. Fun? Of course!

Another cute one of the babies.

This is a picture of Wyatt in the hospital over the summer. He has been back to Children's Mercy twice for laser surgery on his throat. When he had RSV back in February, he was on a high-frequency ventilator for 3 weeks, which did a number on his thoat. He has accumulated scar tissue that gets in the way of his eating and breathing. It is not permanent, but may take a while to heal properly. The laser surgery "cleans out" the scar tissue and hopefully helps the healing process. He is a trooper, and has done well with it all. As you can tell from the picture, he also likes to flirt with the nurses!

Below is a cute video of Parker singing "Popcorn Popping". This is his favorite song to sing before saying a prayer at bed time. Josh and I watch this over and over and laugh every time. The quality isn't great (doesn't really look like Parker), but we recorded it with Josh's phone, and not the video camera. Here it is below for your viewing enjoyment. Listen for the key change....

Here is one more bonus video for you. Sorry, low quality again (these are all video's from Josh's phone). Parker loves to play in the back yard and he's loved watching the Olympics. He say's, "I want to watch Michael! I want to watch Michael"! Meaning Michael Phelps. He also loves watching re-run's of the X games. Anything that involves bikes, skateboards, rally cars (especially the rally cars), and lots of flips, twists, and crashes. Gone are the days of Dora and Diego, Wonder pets and the Backyardagains. Now it's only the Olympics and the X games. Here is the video, doing his own "sweet moves" and going for the "gold medal"...

As a side note, Josh took this video while I was out, and I had Wyatt with me, he was not drowning somewhere in the pool. Hopefully you noticed that Josh was holding onto Brynley while she was in the pool (with one hand on her, one on his phone taking video?!! I did not approve this). Josh says I should try taking all three kids to the pool by myself during the day when we need something to do, and that "it wouldn't be THAT hard." I respond by pretending he didn't just say that. Does he mean that, like him, I could hold onto each baby with one hand and cheer Parker for jumping into the pool alone?! I think not. :)

More to come, this time I promise...
