Why am I so stinkin' excited? Well, it is 7:30 and both of my kids are in bed and asleep!!! Carter skipped his nap today and so he was very tired.
Jeremy picked up take out on his way home from work today and then picked us up for a picnic! We then played at the park as a family. I loved it and so did the kiddos. I always get a little antsy to get out of the house. I didn't have to cook and I didn't have to clean! Thanks Babe, what a fun evening!
I took some cute pictures at the park I will put them up soon! Paige has been walking for about 2 months now and I love it. She is just so little and seeing her walk is too funny. I love this stage. She is pretty smart too. She knows the signs for Milk, Dad. Mom, More, Please, Sleep, food, and I think that's it. We love teaching our kids sign language. I think it helps with frustration when they know what they want but can't talk yet. She talks a little bit too. She says, Mama, Dada, Dog, Ball, Carter (Ardar, so sweet), Night Night, and bye bye. She also shakes her head yes and no. Ask her if she is a princess and you get a big grin and a nod! So fun! I love that little munchkin!
Several months ago my little brother came home from his mission to Atlanta. We had the Fam all together so we did pictures! Not an easy task! We did different colors for each generation. While I took individual family pictures my Uncle Claire watched Paige and it was just too cute. And yes poor Paige had a black eye. She was starting to stand on her own...not always easy! Carter was so done when we did our group picture. This was the best we could get. Not one for the wall hu!?
This picture is old but still cute! Really why do we buy expensive toys when the favorite ones are empty boxes? We got a freezer and my dad took the box and cut a door in it. Carter and Paige had so much fun with it. Thanks for the fun Grandpa Eddie!
This was just a little thing that Carter said that I wanted jot down! What a crazy kid!
I went to the Doctor for a UTI. Carter and Paige both came with me. (So much fun) We went into the batroom and Carter asked what I had. I told him that it was a cup from the nurse with my name on it. He asked what it was for. I told him that I had to pee in it. He Said "Ewww that is so gross!" Then the expression on his face changed, his little eyes lit up, He said "I want to do that too, Pleeeeease!!!"
I had to laugh, I also have to watch him and make sure he doesn't try it at home because we all know he just might.
I have been gone on vacation for a week!! Jeremy tried to make it a surprise. When he couldn't find anyone to watch the kids he told me. I am glad that he did and I was able to pack myself! We totally went on a cruise!!!!! We are not usually spontaneous so this was a big step for us. Thanks to the swine flu boats are not going into Mexico. Lots of people canceled and they have killer prices. (If anyone is interested my in laws are travel agents, stressfreecruises.com)
We left from LA and cruised to San Francisco, Seattle, and British Colombia. We slept in until we felt like getting up, we ate and ate and ate! Oh man! WE went ice skating, rock climbing, miniature golfing, and saw lots of shows. Comedians, dancers, magicians, ventriloquists, and much more...all on the boat.
Here are some pictures....In San Fran we got Carter and Paige both Alcatraz PJ's. We had some intense card games. We were on an amazing ship and had lots of fun just relaxing. I mentioned to our waiter how much I loved the mini flour less chocolate cakes and he made sure that I had a plate of them to take to my room for later. If you love to be pampered go on a cruise.!
They come and clean up your crumbs between courses...They have so much good food! That might be why we all come home a little heavier than when we left.
Thanks so so so much to everyone who watched our kiddos! We love you!
Not one for the wall hu!?
