Family Reunion

Early in the summer we also had he opportunity to participate in Shane's family reunion. We all had a great time.

For some reason Mason and Max loved these spiral stairs and spent much time camped out on them.

The kids had a great time playing with the squirt guns Marie brought them all.

I think everyone had a great time and the weekend was a wonderful sucess

We had such a great summer this year, and I've wanted so much to take the time to write about it before I forget some of the finer details (although there is a good chance that's already happened, at least to a degree.)

Mason was lucky to get out of school a week earlier than most of the kids in the neighborhood. So we decided to take advantage of our extra time and get in a visit to Grammy and Papa Jim in Utah.

We had a great time. We visited with family,

Rode the horse,

Went to the park,

Went to the zoo,

played battleship,

and in general had a really lovely time. I'm so lucky to have parents that are always so willing to welcome my crazy family and I to visit whenever the mood strikes us.

Baby Announcements

Dear Mom,

Please forgive me. I never understood what true patience was until today when I spent several hours with my four year old son and a kazoo. Truly I felt like the MOST patient and enduring creature on the planet when after each lovely ear numbing rendition of a song was finished "Did you like my song mom?" was asked of me and I gritted my teeth, smiled and said, "I loved it, why that's the best kazoo playing I've heard all year."

Reminder

When your three year old standing on the threshold of your recently steamed carpet says, "Mom I don't feel good." you have exactly 1.3 seconds to aim his mouth in the direction of the tile floor before it and everything within a five foot radius is covered in vomit.

Seriously this mommy thing aint for wimps.

I'm so clever...

The other day I sneakily changed the desktop on Shane's laptop to this picture.



a few minutes after he left for work I got a text that read, "very funny."

Yeah I think so too, in fact I still get a kick out of it.

For those of you that want the back story, yes that really is a glacier that I came upon in Alaska last summer, when I went there to visit my old college roommate Jeri. Jeri is a super cool girl, who is so fun that when you hang out with her you find yourself doing crazy things like licking glaciers.

Sorry, no rodent lovers here

Today out of the blue Mason said to me, "Mom rats are uh-scusting."

You got it dude they sure are.
