Day 88...Splish, Splash

Daddy and Mommy both had the day off...crazy, huh?  We almost didn't know what to do with ourselves.  Lucky for us the house needed picked up and we had errands to run.

After all the uneventful stuff was finished, we embarked for our swimming journey to Papa and Nanny's.

Daytona had to see just who and what was disturbing her peaceful nap on the couch.

McCall is such a grown-up swimmer...she isn;t even using her wings!

We did have a minor accident...you can't see anything?  I know, from the massive meltdown that followed, I expected blood or a protruding bone...but nothing.  Drama mama McCall strikes again.

Nanny and Papa's flowers are as beautiful as ever...and for the most part they are all real!  (*wink* Sorry Dad!)

Rhys and I hung out and enjoyed the shade, while working on some sitting.  He's getting better everyday!

p.s. Buzz Lightyear attacked Rhys on the lip.  Rhys got him back by slobbering him to death.  Don't mess with a teething baby!

Day 87...Jim Johnson

I came home from work today to find football on TV.  What?  Bodie and Daddy were happy as could be.  Bodie then proceeded to tell us that when he plays football he wants people to call him Jim Johnson.  Maybe we have taken the "Jimmy race car" thing too far?  I'm not sure where this came from, but he thought it was pretty funny.

Perhaps it's and Ocho Cinco thing?  His bodyguard (aka Daddy) shielded him from this picture.

After awhile,  he decided to go back to being Bodie Francis Vian.  I'm glad.  He doesn't look like a Jim to me!

Day 86...really?!

More technical difficulties.  Dead battery.  Really?  Why can't I figure life out this week?

We had a great Saturday.  We met Papa and Nanny at the mall to pick out some school clothes for McCall and some preschool shoes for Bodie.  We had a blast...even Rob and Papa seemed to enjoy the shopping.  The we went to "The Cake Factory", otherwise known as The Cheesecake Factory to everyone other than McCall and Bodie.  We had lots of fun.  Stay tuned to the first day of school for McCall's outfit reveal!

Then it was off to Garden Valley to help Papa Bob and Sue Sue unpack the first of many loads in their moving adventure.  Yep, Papa Bob is the new Principal of the Garden Valley school, so the whole Vian family are know Idahoans!

Day 85...If your happy and you know it...

LAUGH!!  Rhys brightens my day with his toothless, belly laughs!

Day 84...I'm not smart

We had a lovely play date on Thursday, and the kids had a blast.  I of course forgot my memory card...so no pictures.  I think no sleep is finally catching up with me.

Day 83...It didn't work.

Well, the Sleep Sheep didn't work the miracles that I hoped for.  I must say I wasn't holding my breath.  Oh, well it is cute and it makes a nice addition to Rhys's crib.  He just is happier being awake with his Mommy, (at 4:45 am).

But he is sleepy....

just SUPER STUBBORN!

Day 82...Keep your fingers crossed!

So today I invested in a Sleep Sheep. 

I have read wonderful reviews that said it's white noise helped their babies to sleep and to sleep longer.  I can only hope.  It also came with this weird looking Mobi night light.

Rhys needs sleep...so do Mommy and Daddy.  On average babies 9 months of age should average 11-16 hours of sleep per day.  Rhys is not average.  Seven hours in a 24 hour period is a GOOD day.  So here's to the Sleep Sheep working its magic!
