Don't Try This At Home!

One of the subjects we cover in my current class is Supplemental Restraint Systems (airbags). After going over the subject material and having some time to study we took a fieldtrip out to the parking lot and deployed a few airbags. It was a ton of fun and now I know how to do it safely so that I can show others. They are really dangerous and can really hurt you if you don't know what you're doing. It takes less than 3 volts of electricity to set one off. You sliding across yout car seat as you get into your car or rubbing your hand over your shirt creates about 10,000 volts of static electricity. If you handle one of these airbags improperly it may deploy and severly injure yourself. My advice to you, if I'm not there, don't try what you are about to see at home!

Lydia 5 months, Isaac 21 months

Today Lydia is 174 days old and Isaac is 658 days old. I can't imagine life without them. We took Lydia's 5 month shoots and Isaacs 21 month shoots today. I hope that you like them!

Reading

Isaac loves to read stories now. I usually find him playing with his toys and holding a book. If he thinks I look like I'm not busy working he's always bringing me his books to read. We love story time together. He also loves reading to Lydia and she thinks it's great!

Lydia dressing herself?

So a couple weeks ago I caught Lydia wearing Daddy's shoes.....

and today I caught her wearing Isaac's pants....

how did she get these things on?

ISAAC???

Isaac trying to pick up Lydia

Powell Burritos!

Wanna burrito? Very tasty!

Darth Vader and Lydia the Sucker!

Isaac loves to wear his towel around after bath time. He reminds me of Darth Vader. Lydia has started loving to suck her binky and her thumb at the same time. She gets mad if you try to pull either of them out! Silly kiddos.

Waiting at the Doctor's Office

We dropped off Lydia's urine sample to be tested today. While we waited for the doctor Isaac rearranged all the furniture. The nurse and doctor's thought he was hilarious!!

Water balloon Heaven

Rlaxing with Daddy

My little cowboy!

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all our Daddy's! Grandpa Wood, Grandpa Powell and of course DADDY!

Rolly polly!

Rolly polly Lydia. Lydia finally rolled over from her front to her back. We found what her motivation is:TV!. She just loves the TV and will do anything to be able to get a good veiw, rolling over included. We'll try to upload a picture sometime this week! That is if we can get her to do it again!

New Week

Last week was a tough one here at the Powell house. We're glad to be moving onto a new one! Lydia is doing much much better! (I've decided that 104.8 is my new least favorite number. Never had a least favorite number before!) The doctor just called and said that the E. coli that caused her UTI is an antibiotic strain so she needs to be tested again 3-4 days after she quits the antibiotics because they might not work. If she still has the UTI we'll be doing another run of antibiotics.

Anyway church this week was awesome. Isaac sat through all of sacrament meeting and Lydia only needed to be taken out once. Usaually this means that they both need to be taken out because Isaac doesn't like to be left with other people (and Brandon is at work) so he follows me but he decided to stay with Sis. Wilkens. We were so glad not to have Isaac in the mother's lounge with us!


Here are some pictures of the kids in their church clothes this week:
