Carter and Macie came up missing one afternoon and everything was really quiet, so I decided I had better go and see what they were up to and this is what I found. That was our laundry basket but as you can see it has been turn into a boat and all the dirty and clean laundry has so neatly been piled together in one big pile on the floor. I am going to have to really keep an eye on those two.
Grandpa Pat is trying to get Macie interested in seeing the baby calf one Saturday morning at Family Day at Reed's Dairy. What a fun day, we met my whole family there and had lunch and ice cream.
These two are best friends. They love playing together. This was their fort and the chairs were their pretend movie.
Macie is already playing dress up. She is our little shoe monster. If our shoes come up missing we know who to go and find. Her favorite thing to do is to sit by the front door and try on all the shoes and then walk around the house in them for a minute. It is the cutest thing. Just the other day we were able to get her a new pair of sandals and I have never seen a little girl so happy to have a new pair of shoes.
The two of them had so much fun playing with the bubble machine. I think those were one of
the best things ever invented.
Sherri and the kids came to Idaho Falls and spent a couple of days with us. It was great. She has really become one of my best friends and I appreciate all her support. They stayed the first night at our house. Carter loved it. He got to sleep out in the family room with his cousins. They all slept very well. The next day we got up and went to Tautphaus Park where we met Becky and her kids. We all got to talk while the kids played it was great. Then for lunch we had pizza and then played some more. What fun. Carter talks about his cousins Saylee and Julie all the time. It usually starts with him saying remember when Saylee and Julie... and then ends with lets do that again. He is growing up so fast.
Dave loves Craigo's so that night Dave, myself, the kids, and my parents went out to dinner and then we came back to our house and had homemade cheesecake and presents. I think it turned out to be a great birthday. The kids and I gave him a new backpack for school and Carter added some very special treats inside the backpack. Only I think that when Carter was picking out the treats he was thinking more about himself than his Daddy. Oh well, Dave loved it. My parents gave him a couple of new shirts that he really liked and is usual $50.00. He also got some money from his mom and dad and from my grandparents. My sister gave him a gift card to Subway which he was thrilled about because we don't really eat out anymore so this was his way of being able to get his favorite sandwich and not having to spend any money. She also gave him some Reese's and 3 Musketeers. I don't really know what happened to those they seemed to be gone really fast and I don't think that Dave got very many of them. My brother gave Dave a gift cert. to Sportsman's Warehouse. I think he is going to get, as he calls it, his quack quack stamp. He got a lot of text messages that day from his family and friends wishing him a Happy Birthday. All in all I think he had a great day.
This is our little boxing girl! So she and the tub had a big disagreement and she ended up losing. She is so fearless that she just scares me to death. She fell pretty hard and smacked her face on the side of the tub and this was the result. It was bruised almost instantly and that night it swelled up really bad. Now it looks like she has been in a fight with someone. This picture is right after it happened and so you can kind of see that it was a little swollen and now it is really a dark purplish blue.
Cute pictures! A lot of HAPPY things for a long month- I love it!
