Staycation...or not

Chase is on vacation this week, and I am super excited about it. We had gone back and forth on what we were going to do and eventually we decided to stay home and relax. Usually we go somewhere the beach or east to visit family, but this time we decided it might do us some good to hang at home. Well all that changed today, I'm not sure how but we decided to go to Brady Lake and go camping, fishing etc.. I have got to be the best mommy and wife to agree to go camping even though I'm four and a half months pregnant. I tried to explain to Chase that I spend my entire night peeing and usually burning up if it's not a cool 70 degrees. He assured me I will have a nice cot and the weather should be similar to what we keep it in our house and he would assure a safe potty situation for me. He never fails me, so I'm sure it will be fun and will be Brenna's fourth best night of her life ( she is now counting the best days/nights of her life).
I will post pics when I get home.

Update

We went in for a check-up on the thumb guard. He is doing much better than he was, but I asked the Dentist what our next step would be if he was still sucking his thumb at the end of the five months and he said he would refer us to another Dr. for play therapy. He said he will need to find another way to sooth himself. I was in shock, play therapy for a thumb sucker? You have got to be kidding me. We won't be going to play therapy!

Because you make the best food ever..

Taylor: mommy

Mommy: where? I don't see your mommy?
Taylor: your my mommy
Mommy: how do you know?
Taylor: because you make the best food ever

Kicked Out!

That's right I was kicked out of Sherwood's swim park. The kids and I had just got our stuff settled and jumped in the water for some fun when we were interrupted by a life guard. He said ma'am (stupid polite teenager) your shirt has to be white (yes I wear a t-shirt over my swimsuit). I looked down at my shirt that was the lightest gray possible (almost white) and I said "what"? He said if you are going to wear a shirt it has to be white, I then told him I would wait for the manager to tell me something, thinking it was no big deal. Well, another lifeguard said something and then directed me to a manager. We had to get all of our stuff go home and get a white t-shirt. The moral of the story: next time you go to a swim park check the fine print so you don't end up like me.

Too Sweet

Going to visit my sweet niece this weekend. I'm soo excited.


ETA: I did not take this pic.

Almost birthday time...

Brenna will be six and Taylor will be four; where did the time go? I figure if the first six years went by this fast then so will the next and so on and so forth. It makes me sad and excited all at the same time. If I could just slow down time a little....

Bowling Party

The kids had their bowling party yesterday. Taylor requested this party so much he began to sound like a broken record, so we gave them a bowling party. We weren't even sure if he would be able to lift the ball, but he did and he would toss it down and even knock down some pins from time to time. The problem was as soon as he would toss the ball he would turn around and walk away not even caring about the results and about half way through he was saying "bowling is boring". So we have been there and done that with the bowling party and as much as the adults liked it we will probably wait a few years to have another bowling party. It was still a very funny and happy early birthday.
