Kids Day at the Park

So, I called my sister up to see if she wanted to bring her kids to the local park for "Kids Day". She of course said yes, since her husband wasn't in town (otherwise the answer would have been no...) So, we met up at the park which was giving out lots of freebies and had lots of games to offer. We had a pretty good time.



There was a little train ride that Bub insisted on riding, so we put him in between his cousins, but when the train came around, I realized he was very upset...




I felt so bad. I couldn't stop the train, so he had to go around one more time before I could make my little babe feel better. Finally it came to a stop and I ran to the little Bub and snuggled him up. It's a little too early to ride trains alone. :( All and all, it was a great day with all the nieces and nephews.

Tumble Bus Fun

So, Noah has been telling us all about the Tumble Bus for some time now. He really doesn't actually know what the Tumble Bus is all about and every time we pass a bus in the car, he yells, "TUMBLE BUS, TUMBLE BUS" and goes all crazy at the fact that we can't get it for him. So, gracious PawPaw and Nanny wanted to treat him to a little Tumble Bus action, so today, Noah got to go on the Tumble Bus for the first time. I showed up a little early just in case the Tumble Bus was early and sat down with Noah and his daycare buddies. They are just precious. I sat down in the floor and they were all over me, trying to get me to read to them, which I didn't mind and was so happy to do. They were all fighting to sit by me, which I thought was so sweet.

We all ate lunch and then, the Tumble Bus lady arrived to come take the kids away to a land of tumbles and fun!! All the kids jumped up and down yelling, "Tumble Bus, yay!!!" and finally the door opened and they all were ready to go. I see now why Noah had been all about the Tumble Bus even thou he had never been on it. Peer Pressure, lol.



I had an idea of what the Tumble Bus was and sure enough, it was a bus with padded walls and floors with little obstacles for the kids to play on.


Noah had a blast. I enjoyed watching him play. He was all smiles, as you can see. He got a bit distracted at times though....
So, as a momma, I kept getting onto him, but I stopped finally because I was supposed to be a "fly on the wall." Noah saw Nanny outside the bus and screamed, "Hi Nanny!" and the Tumble Bus lady noticed and said that we could get Noah in for half price since Nanny worked at the daycare! Score! How cool is that?





Good Gracious that child is growing up way too fast. :(

Another Update

I'm sure if you all thought I fell off the face of the earth, but I assure you, I'm still here!! I started college on August 22nd, so between going to class, homework, kids, housework, husband work (lol), and our side business, I have been one busy momma. Whew! Just writing it all down makes me tired. I'm going to try to keep this blog up though because the kids have already done so many great things that I need to try to blog about so I don't forget!!

First off, we've been working alot at the shop, or shall I say Dusty has. I do the designing and the sign/banner part of the biz, but Dusty does the real work like screen pritinting with his dad, embroidery, and uniforms. Poor daddy hasn't had a day off in ages. I'm thinking of doing something special for him real soon. Here's a few of our projects we've been working on...

Like I said, the kids have been busy being sweet little boo boos. Noah has his own "big boy" bed, but he has only slept in it a few times. Poor fellow is afraid of the dark, but he'll take naps in it with now problem. :)

We've been having popcorn and movie nights...

Nanny gave Livi some clothes and there were two pair of the same pants, so we were joking around and put a pair on Bub and we got a little silly.

Daddy has been having to get to get the kids ready for school, and you always know when he dresses them. Too funny.

 I love waving to my little one's and their daddy, but it's so sad to see them drive away without me.

Look at that smile!!! So handsome. (We told him to say chicken nuggets and that's the smile we got...he loves chicken nuggets!)

We've been reading to Noah and he's really starting to get into it!

With the weather being so hot, we've had to strip it all off and have popcicles (the kids of course...they're so lucky).  We've been hoping for rain because we're starting to have a lot of fires. Getting a little close for comfort. :(





Here's a few video moments over the past month...You're in for a real treat.

This is of the kids dancing. On Saturday mornings we start the morning off with breakfast in the living room (usually fruit loops in a bowl with a side of milk...less messy that way) and we watch the VH1 top 20 count down. This particular morning, Livi kept turning the tv off. Notice that Bub says a bad word after Livi turns the tv off the first time. This is a new habit of his...goodness gracious.


This one is of Livi getting down. She can really "drop it". (Please divert your eyes from the dirty carpet...it really needs cleaned).

We had went to Daniel Boone's and Livi really was acting up. I was pretty amused by it. Glad there wasn't alot of people in the restraunt. Bub wasn't amused by it at all and kept telling her to shut her mouth.

This is Bub getting jiggy with it.

I love the way Livi says "NO". I tried to get her on video and this was the best I could do. So stinkin cute.
