Very Excited!

We are going to see Smart tomorrow.  When I was packing and getting things together tonight, Sweet asked what I was doing...  I said "we are going to see Smart tomorrow." 

He then sat there for a minute and then said  "after we go to bed?" I said yes and went on with packing.  

A second later he ran past me with his clothes off and got in the bath and said "I need to get ready for bed so I can see Smart.

Keep in mind this was at 5 pm, still light outside... He went in his bed picked the books for me to read. And he picked every single book that Smart has given him (he knows which ones they are because he can read Smarts name now) 

We read 7 books before he decided he would wait for it to be dark to go to bed.  We are all excited for the next few days.  Its going to be a fun trip I am really looking forward to it.

Puppy Preschool

Tonight, Sweet and I took Daisy to her first, "Puppy Preschool" class. We're enrolled with a friend of mine, Dani; her husband, Matt; and their Lab puppy, "Audi." It was a lot of fun (Sweet almost made it the entire hour before he said he wanted to go home).

Daisy has 4 other classmates, a small furry dog, Zoey; a german shepherd, Kaiser; Audi and a puppy that skipped the first day of class. We're hoping that in eight weeks, we'll have a more confident, better socialized wiener dog. Here's to big dreams!

Boys, Boys, Boys!

Smart came up for a visit this weekend and we had a fun time flying the helicopter, playing wii, playing with Cousins and Aunt K, golfing (in the cold), playing more wii, watching madagascar 2 and playing with the dogs.

Sweet was really excited to see his brother and started standing by the window at 6:30am thinking every car that passes was Smart. This morning Smart tackled Dad, Sweet was soon to follow and they had fun wrestling and using dad as a jungle gym. They were so silly and it was a so fun watching them play together being total boys together.

Saturday night we went to see the Cougars play basketball. Sweet did a great job cheering and was good until the last 3 minutes of the game when he decided he had had enough and wanted to leave. Cute is doing really well with his helmet and has not been complaining from it. Thanks Grandpa Keith for the invitation!

Smart is 6!

*** Forgive me for posting this a little bit late. ***

I have a hard time believing that Smart is now 6. It's hard for us to comprehend how the time has passed so quickly. We love him so very much and we're so grateful that he came into our life when he did. He is a great big brother and has been a fantastic first child. We hope you had a great Birthday, Smart!

Happy Birthday Smart!

We had the pleasure of celebrating Smart's Sixth Birthday. Here are some of our favorite pictures from the weekend.

Smart is starting to enjoy taking self portraits. Here's one with his cousin.

This is from Jumpin' Jacks. They ran, climbed and played very hard.

What a 3 year old does at a BYU Basketball Game.

It's hard for Sweet to sit at these games very long. When the team came running out after halftime, he turned to me and said, "Yeah! We all done?!?" Before the game was over I probably said "almost" 10 times. But he still had a great time. Thanks for the invitation, Grandpa!

Sad.

We had a great time in Orlando, but we weren't in Jax long enough.  We had a great time visiting Jason and the B's.  We love them to death and had a great time catching up.  We even looked at extending our trip once we got there, but we had too many limiting factors.  But, we will be back sometime...  Until then, we'll just have to blog to keep in touch.  Until we can talk them into coming to Education week.  :)

Airplane, you need go fly!

Sweet said as he looked out the window of our airplane.

Surreal Life

It's weird/exciting to be back. I only wish we had more than 24 hours.

Daytona 500

This is for Uncle Nascar (you know who you are).

On the Road Again

It's Not Working

When we got off Goofy's Barn Buster today, Sweet was trying to get Grandpa P's attention, but after saying "Grandpa" several times unsuccessfully, he turned to me and said innocently, "Dad, it's not working".

After he got his attention he said, "I went real fast!"

We love this 3 year old!

Our Favorite Ride

Toy Story Mania. It's awesome.

To Infinety. And Beyond!

Waiting for Toy Story Mania!

He's been good!

Smart said...

We just got off the The River Rapids and Smart said, "That was the worst ride ever. Why would they make a ride like that?"

We all got soaked.  Most of us went on the ride willingly, but I think ALL of us had fun.  Grandma H  won the prize.  Every inch of her pants were soaked.

The Lion King!

Trapped in the Monorail.

We're trapped. Monorail ahead of us broke down and is not operable.
We're grateful we're not on that train. However, our bus leaves in 20
minutes to our hotel. AND I don't particularly care to spend anymore
time on this train.

Forecast: More Rain!

It's still raining very hard.  Sweet is soaked all the way through.  Smart is more concerned about walking in puddles than staying dry.  However, we have no serious injuries to report thus far.
