Family Reunion- part 1

We went to my in-laws cabin in NC to get away for a week before I went back to work. Sarah and Peter flew out from Denver and Angie and her kids met us there as well. What a nice way to end a maternity leave! The weather was perfect and the time was relaxing. We wanted to do family photos on our own in the meadow down the path from the house. Here's how they turned out.

The Newlyweds

Trying to get 6 kids AND grandpa to smile and look at the camera at the same moment...

fun but impossible =)

 The cousins by the barn

 Bethany doesn't want kisses...

 Isaac wants to go home. Period. 

Watch as the meltdown unfolds...

It is what it is...

I told my son to get his finger out of his nose and he seriously looked at me and replied, "but mommy, i gotta get my burgers out."

stay tuned for more...

Fishy Coffee

I was giving Isaac a bath tonight and like always, we were playing with his bath toys. One is a Pelican Pitcher (used to rinse off soap) and he was scooping and pouring.

He asked me if I wanted coffee (which i'm still not sure where he learned what coffee was) and i said, "Oh yes, coffee sounds yummy." He grinned and turned his back to me and began to fill up the picther.

Once he turned around he was almost giggling as he 'offered me a drink'. I said thank you and pretended to drink it.

Then, he started to laugh. "Dats not COFFEE Silly Mommy! Ew! Ew! Don't drink the fish water! Da waters got fishies in it!" Then he poured out the pitcher and out fell Nemo and Dory fish toys.

Practical jokes at 2 1/2? Oh momma, we're in trouble =)

too big

I was tucking Isaac into bed last night and told him that he was getting too big!
"Yeah, I AM too BIG!" he said. "I SUPER big! I going to go up, up, up, to the ceiling! I grow allda way up there!"

"No, don't grow too big too quick," I said. I started to give him smothering kisses and my smart son replied,
"GENTLE mom, gentle".

I started to laugh and asked, "Isaac where did you learn that? Who taugh you the word, Gentle"?

"You!" (and after I started laughing again, he said...) "Silly Mommy."

PEP in her step!

Are you ready for some college football?!
