Singing Happy Birthday to Kyle...yeah, does anyone else see a problem?! Kyle wasn't even there!!!! So we all sang and Marcy recorded it :-)! We were going to just play it back for Kyle when he finally showed up, but mom made us do it all over again! Darn, it would have been so awesome!
It was so fun to have you guys here! Thanks for playing with us and we love you all!!! See you soon!
This past week we have been able to spend time with my brother and his cute family. We haven't seen them in almost 3 years and it was so great to spend time with them. It's always bitter sweet because you know at some point they have to leave but it has been so wonderful having them here! This was the first time most of the family had met Tyler and Kylee. They are almost 8 months old and SOO stinking cute and way too much fun! Shayla and Dallan have grown up so much I can hardly believe it. I never knew Kassidy and Addelyn very well because they were away when they were born, but we all love them and they are way too fun! What a great family, they are all so wonderful!!
I pulled out my camera numerous times to take pictures to share and of course I had taken the memory card out and keep forgetting to put it back in. :-/ This means that I actually don't have any pictures, but I will be sure to steal them from everyone and share what I can find because they are all SO cute!
When we left my parents Sunday night I was getting hugs from everyone because I wasn't sure if I would see them again before they left. When I told Shayla that, she looked at me and simply replied, "Of course you'll see me, we'll be back in three years!" and she ran off to play. :-) What a cute girl. We have had so much fun with you guys and if we don't see you before you head out...love you, and see you in three years!
P.S. Shelly, I don't know how you do it, but keep up the good work you ROCK!!!
By request of the Prince it was a Cars themed birthday party. And everyting was great! Thanks Amy and Lonny!
Victoria had to go to the bathroom and not long after Connor came out of the house yelling for Mom. Of course he suddenly had to go as well. I told him I would take him and we ran to the bathroom. Because Victoria was in there I told him he would have to hold it. So I showed him how to squeeze his legs together and scruncy up his face so he could hold it. (Somehow, I know this helps!) I kept telling him to hold it and one time I said, "Good job Connor, squeezy your cheeks." He dropped the previous pose, threw his hands to his face and did just what I told him to do, he was "squeezing his cheeks". When he did this I just about died of laughter. Later, Amy saw him "squeezing his cheeks" and asked what he was doing. When we explained what happened at the bathroom everyone bust us laughing and of course he was more than willing to once again demonstrate his newly developed skill!! :-) Love you Connor, thank you for always making us smile no matter how crappy a day we had!!!
You feel like you'll never be enough.
You feel like you aren't worth a thing.
You try and try and still fall on your ass time and time again.
You feel like you have something to prove.
You finally feel like you have made progress, but prove to be mistaken.
