2 months later....

Well, I guess I should at least attempt to make a post here before the next baby is born. Because then I'll have a really good excuse for not keeping up with my blog!

New baby is set to arrive in about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. FINALLY! And summer is starting to fade, we've had some very nice weather recently. My mom will be coming out at the end of the month to help with the new arrival and it should be perfect weather while she is back home in AZ!

I tried to keep the kids in here all summer, but they just wouldn't hear of it.


Daisy developed a love for The Sound of Music, Annie & Mary Poppins and easily recruited her "buddy-buddy" Calvin to watch with her. They love the music in each of them.


We took a little trip at the end of the summer to the Legacy resort in Phx. and the kids had a great time. They spent time swimming, playing tennis, crafting, playing with cousins, a trip to the zoo to name a few while we were there. We also introduced the kids and Spencer too, to Famous Daves BBQ. It's Spencer's new favorite place and the kids really liked it too.


Eventually the first day of school rolled around for Caden (2nd) and Paxton (K).


And the kids all became posers somewhere along the way! Actually Paxie has always been one to enjoy the camera, and now Daisy is following her lead. Here they are as of last month....

accidents

Yesterday as Spencer checked on to work for the day, they radioed back that there was an accident. So he had to rush out the door with a quick goodbye.

He called me later that evening around 7 or so. On my end of the phone I say, 'so, you had an accident?' And on his end he tells me all about it.

Meanwhile Caden is listening in, because as soon as I hung-up with Spencer, he came over to talk with me.....

He asks completely serious and with just a hint of concern. "Mom. Dad had an accident at work? Did he wreck his car or did he pee his pants?"

Of coarse I told him he peed his pants!

Our very own Popeye

Here is another great picture of Cal. This kid cant keep his hands off of food or drink! After we got him halfway cleaned up I decided he was picture worthy.
Anyway, there was 1/2 a glass left of spinach smoothie on the table. Apparently just close enough to the edge for his grubby little fingers to get a grasp on and he sat down to finish it off.
I discovered what he had been up to after he was crying and mad. He kept trying to stand up, but kept slipping and falling on what he had spilled while in the middle of his feast.
Sweet little boy!
