Big Splash!!

Last Tuesday my aunt Pootsie and I took the kids to the water park. They loved it, and had a great time. Gage is a little timid around the water, but he did finally go down the slide by himself a few times, until a girl kicked him and the back and put him under the water. He wasn't thrilled about that. Macy loved the water and loved to go down the slide with everyone!! I got really sunburned (forgot to sunscreen myself after the kids) and the kids slept great that night. Macy slept from 9:30-5:30 which is a huge accomplishment for her. I'll have to go more often!! Thanks for the fun Poots and gang!

Gage-isms #2


Gage has said some really funny things lately. These are the most recent.
My favorite words from his vocabulary
Banbaid= band-aid, curpins= curtains, mockymers= binoculars, assidin= medicine
There are many more but those are some favorites.

He loves the Disney movie Cars and the characters Lightning Mcqueen and Mater.He calls Lightning McQueen "Kachow" because that's what he always say. It was lightning outside so I told Gage to come look at the Lightning. He came to the window and I kept pointing and saying "Do you see the lightning?" And his reply was "Mommy, I don't see kachow." Bless his heart, he thought he was going to see lightning McQueen.

I was laying in bed with him the other night and was pretending to be asleep but watching him out of the corner of my eye. He talked to himself for quite some time and here are some things he said. He played open and shut with his legs for a minute and kept saying, "open, shut, open, shut"...very entertaining. Then he sang "Jesus want a sunbeam, to shine for him. A sunbeam, sunbeam, sunbeam for him" Very sweet. Then he said "Mommy said, go to sleep, but my no sleep so I pull my eyes open." He then grabbed his eyelids and pulled them up so he wouldn't go to sleep. Finally, he grabbed his toy Mater, grabbed him said " Goodnight, Mater," gave him a kiss, threw him out of bed, rolled over and went to sleep. I wondered what I missed out on every night when he goes to bed. Wouldn't a video-camera be hilarious?

Best Friends

I hope that my children always have this much fun together and will always laugh and smile together. They love each other so much now and I hope they will always be best of friends!

Vacation from Vacation

We had a wonderful 4th of July with my family, but after just coming back from Vegas the kids were kind of tired and not quite ready to pack up and leave again. I've decided that vacations with young children sometimes aren't really vacations but more work. I think I need a vacation from vacation! The kids had fun with grandma and grandpa and Steve's white legs got fried on the jet ski! He forgot sunscreen, even after I reminded him. I took my camera with me but after the first day the battery died and I was so mad!!! I wasn't very prepared. The only pix I got were of us at the water park. Oh well, now I know for next time. We're home for awhile now, and maybe we can get back on our daily schedule.

Wonderful Wedding

We went to Las Vegas for Steve's sisters wedding to Todd. It was a beautiful wedding, but extremely hot in Vegas (110 degress) YIKES! The kids were troopers considering our flights were 2 hrs and 5 hrs delayed. We had a wonderful time and wish we could have stayed longer. We love you Todd and Heather and wish you the best of luck!
