Say Cheese!

I absolutely love Mikayla's little smiles and grins. Getting a picture of them is another story. They are usually at times when I don't have a camera handy. Today I was trying really hard to catch one. Rod had called to say that he needed to be late tonight so he can leave early on Friday (his last day of school for this year!) One sure fire way to get Mikayla to smile big is to have her daddy talk to her. She loves his voice. When he comes home, without fail, she smiles the minute she hears him. Since I had is voice handy I put the phone up to her ear. Bingo! I have to admit the picture isn't a great one but it kinda got her smile. It was tricky juggling my camera and the phone. I love the story behind it. Rod is such a great daddy!

We had Grandma and Grandpa Head here with us for the weekend. Granny and Papa Benner were here too. It was a great time!! Shawn had a chance to go back with Grandma and Grandpa to Boise for a week. He's done it for the past few years and really looks forward to hangin' out with Grandpa while Grandma is at work. He also has a chance to go do some really fun things with his cousins. About a half hour after they left Grandma called to tell me that Shawn had forgotten his MP3 player and to please bring it when we come this weekend to pick him up. No problem, I was a little worried about how he would entertain himself during the 6 hour drive. His MP3 has stories and songs that usually get him through. Well Grandma e-mailed me pictures of how show was able to entertain himself! What a goof ball....I love that kid.
