Weekend ramblings

Sophia woke up to me and dexter being gone. (We went to church and I let her and pops sleep in). She ran in and woke up pops. Telling him we were gone and said where did they go? Then she asked me later why I let her sleep through church.
Travis took her to the Youhas'. Ad she rode up front the whole way there. He was very proud o herself and will make a great backseat driver one day.
I took her to pick cherries at my high school English teachers house. She loved it an loved that I let her climb the ladders. I came home and baked a pie from scratch. It turned out a bit tart but for a first try not too bad.
Dexter and I mowed the yard and hung out!! It was a great weekend over all.

Cool kids

I have amazing children who make me laugh a lot. This morning they laid on the couch laughing at each other. We went to the library and had fun getting a ton of books. Sophia has been dancing and making a lot of fun remarks. Her favorite is saying fat chance. Dexter has learned that he can make me laugh and he works it!! It's hilarious! They are so good. I am so lucky to have found a man who gave me wonderful children. He is amazing too!!

Growing fast

Today was the terminix picnic. Sophia had so much fun and dex too. There was rain and the blow up slides had to be shut down but all the kids enjoyed playing in the rain!! I am just amazed that last year Dex was only one month old when we went.
Sophia and I went to Hannah's birthday party afterwards and she is 12 now. It's so hard to believe that it been 12 years since we race to St. Louis to be with Loren and amber for her to receive her lungs. Amazing things happen everyday but hat is one I will remember forever.
I end my day wrestling on the floor with both kids while Travis took pictures and get silly with us. These are the things I live for and love about my life!!

I don't wanna get tasered

Sophia came downstairs after being asleep for awhile and Travis took we back to bed. He tucked her in and she proceeded to tell him that she didn't want to get tasered. He asked her who was gonna taser her and she said she didn't know but not to let them taser her!! Oh I love when my kids talk in their sleep!!

Oops

I haven't blogged in a bit. Things are hectic. The summer has begun. Today Sophia had her friend Brooklyn over to play and it was fun. Then Travis took the kids to eat for Hannah's 12th birthday. It's hard to believe she is 12!!
The summer is going to be crazy but fun! The weekend is already packed! Father's Day is on Sunday and my kids have the best dad ever!!

Make me laugh

Today Dexter learned that he can make us laugh by making a silly face. It was at dinner with my mom and dad and he made this super silly face over and over and realized we were laughing at him. It continued for about ten minutes!! I love the little thing about toddlers that make me smile!!
Today we went to some rummage sales and Sophia's favorite find.... Books. This is one proud mama!

Drumming

The first thing he did today was play drums. He has already learned that the sticks are for the drums. He walk to the middle of the living room, picks them up and walks over to the drums. He is so cute!!
In the photo he is tapping the foot pedal for the bass drum

Rock n roll

Yes I bought this for my children. I'm insane!!

Seat belts

Yesterday while riding in the car Sophia grabbed the center seatbelt and put it around her. So I explained how she shouldn't do it because if we wrecked she might get hurt. She then, oh so cleverly said to me "but mama I've got two seatbelts on so I'm super safe!" Smart kiddo.
It was also fun run day yesterday. Dexter had his first run. He started and went straight for a wagon. He had no interest in running with the other kids!! It was funny. And our lovely ball of energy Sophia ran the half mile with no stopping.
It was a nice day.
