Sunday Dinner with Grandma

August 28, 2011

We've been very blessed to have Skype to keep in touch with our family back in Utah. It seems like every Sunday we make a point to get on the computer and talk with both my family and Joel's family back home. It's a lot of fun for the kids to see everyone. When I say to Van "Do you want to talk to Grandma?" He runs to the computer, tries to open it up and says "Hi! Mama!" It really is the cutest thing.

Tonight we had dinner with Grandma Sandy. Van made sure he shared his vegetables. However, shirts are overrated.

Oh, and did I mention that I have the prettiest girl in the world too? Because I do.

I am pretty sure I have the cutest boy in the world. That is all.

It's Raining, It's Pouring...

August 28, 2011

We had some fun rain and thunderstorms this past week. And, of course the kids had to run through it in their nakeds. The rain out here is very different from Utah, it seems to come down in sheets and then almost instantly stop and then start again. It's also crazy that it rains like this when it's 90 degrees outside. Something we are also NOT used to.

Nick's Park

The weather has been awesome lately! We haven't had to run the AC 24/7 and we've been able to spend more time outside without dying of heat stroke. Most of our days consist of going to Nick's Park right down the street. The kids love, it and never seem to get sick of playing here. Charlee calls it "Castle Park" I suppose because it kind of looks like a castle. Charlee gets pretty bummed out if there aren't many kids to play with, and Van is pretty content just chasing Charlee around the entire time.

This is what I get out of the shower to this morning. Van is screaming bloody murder and Charlee keeps saying "Van! Van! Hold still!" She's managed to take Mardi's leash and tie her brother to the chair with it. Oh my! And it's only 8 AM.

Good Morning!

Joel's leaving for work, the kids are up (yay), the dog needs to go out, Charlee wants to take him out, Mom's not dressed yet, Joel lets Mardi and Charlee out, he's on his way back inside...

Calmly, Joel says to me: I want you to take a close look at the deck.

Yes, those are Charlee's poo pellets on the deck.

This is my life.

Good Morning!!
