Day 64...Finger-paint!

We had a little project to do, so I whipped out the finger-paints. 

Lots of fun...and a big mess.  Hope Nanny likes her birthday cards!

Day 63...Smile

Life is good...

and happy!

Day 62...It's getting hot in here!

So we moved outside!  We had lots and lots of fun today playing outside.  The power wheels came out.

So did the sprinkler.  It was a little too cold!

And Rhys just was laughing and enjoying the fresh air.  Weird, huh?  Rhys laughing!

Day 61...Bodie's 3rd Birthday!

Our little Bodie turned 3 today.  It's a little hard for me to believe.  Three years ago Papa Bob drove me to the hospital (long, but funny story).

It's amazing how much having kids changes your life.  He has helped me laugh harder, appreciate more, acquire (lots) more patience, and feel more deeply.  He was tested and will continue to test my limits. 

Bodie has shocked me many times, with many things.

Our little (or not so little) man brightens our day and the world is a happier place because of him.

His birthday didn't start off too good however.  He came into our room early in the morning because of the thunder.  Then he rolled out of our bed, which sharply woke him up.  But early presents and a birthday breakfast fixed everything!  He got a baseball mitt, a watch, a garbage truck, and a Buzz Lightyear.

Buzz glows in the dark, so we had to lock ourselves in the pantry to see him in action.  I LOVE the shine from his tooth :)

Then Bodie and Daddy went for a swim before dinner.

After a nice dinner, it was home to give the new footer...I mean scooter, a try.

Ginger was tattooed, by the birthday boy, with our address stamp.  Too bad for her, even if she tried to runaway from this nut house, now her "return address" tattoo will get her right home!

Happy Birthday Bubba boy...we love you!!

Day 60...Pre-Birthday

We began Bodie's birthday celebration today.  He has soooo badly wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for his birthday, so today we gave in agreed.  The kids had a blast, and I had a free token coupon, so we were all happy!

Bodie immediately jumped into the Monster Truck!

Then the boys Daddy and Bodie got into a intense game of Deer Hunter.  FYI...the deer lost.

Rhys woke up (kinda)...

to see what was going on.  McCall got her picture sketched.

We actually had fun, and we didn't even get a pitcher of beer!

After we said goodbye to Chuck...off we went to see Buzz and Woody (In Toy Story 3).  However, we were sorely disappointed that the Pronto Pup is no longer at Edward's.  I guess its been awhile.  The movie was GREAT, and Bodie's pre-birthday was lots of fun!

Day 59...He's at it again

Bodie has not used the doggie door for a long time.  It was calling to him today.  For some reason he thought the grass was greener on the other side of the fence.  (Which I will tell you, it is not greener.  Its the dog yard!)

Something caught his eye...now sure why.

Day 58...Sleep? Eat?

Rhys couldn't decide if he should sleep, or eat. 

He ate a bit and then made up his mind.

I tried to tell him if he slept at night or took naps this wouldn't happen.  He didn't listen though.  He was too busy snoring!
