Visitors, Part 2

We we so lucky to have so many visitors this summer! Among them, my cousin Steve and his cute family! They were fabulous house guests and we wished they could have stayed longer! I didn't take as many pictures as I should have, but I did get some pics from our day trip to Hogle Zoo.

June enjoying one of her favorite things: Bark mulch

Max and Rebecca

The new exhibits are actually super cool if you haven't been to Hogle since they've added them, you should go! We watched the seals and the polar bear forever!

So cool.

These two have the greatest time together :) it's so fun to watch.

Junie trying to stay cool

Steve and Kelli :) Love you two

Miss Nina

We hope they come back every summer!!

Visitors, Part 1

This summer has been filled with visitors! Miriam & Calvin came & spent a week with us and we loved it! Max especially. He misses Calvin so much already & keeps asking when he'll be back.

This one's for you, Mom :)

Lake Days at Pineview

I love spending time with my in-laws! We had a little family reunion at Dan's parents' cabin in Liberty & spent a few days on the water. Quick summary:  the boys loved the boat, the men learned to wake surf & Mari saved a life! Yes, someone next to us on the beach was drowning and she dove in and saved them! She's legitimately a hero!

Here are some fun pics from the lake...

Look how handsome my nephew is! Lookin good Carter!

Here's a boy of summer if there ever was one!

These two are total buddies - they play together so well and are always sharing! When they see each other they get all smiley and excited! It's so fun having two so close in age (4 days apart!)

Cole loves his Uncle Blake

Nina, we should get this one framed! Love it!

And now, karate poses!

Naughty Words

I have this spreadsheet that I use to keep track of my kids funny sayings, firsts & stats. I was just looking over them today and read one that I was laughing over and thought it would be fun to share! This is from a few months ago. Enjoy!

Mommy picks Max up from preschool - this is in the car coming home:

Max: Mom, I said naughty words in preschool today.
Mom: Max! What did you say?
Max: Pee.
Mom: Why?? Don't do that buddy.
Max: Nobody heard me.
Mom: Oh... okay well don't do that again, alright?

The next day:
Max: Mom, I said naughty words in preschool again.
Mom: Max!! What did you say this time??
Max: Poo.
Mom: Buddy! Please don't do that!
Max: No one could hear me. I whispered it super quiet like this - "poo"

Mom: (trying not to laugh) K please don't do that anymore bud.

A few days later:
Max: Mom, I said bad words in preschool today. Even badder than pee and poo.
Mom: (incredulous) Dude! Why do you keep doing this? What did you say??
Max: (points down to his crotch and makes wide eyes)
Mom: (I'm already laughing at this point) Max!!! What the heck!
Max: I said it in my head.
Mom: LOL
