Catching Up...

(Taken on our cell phone- we couldn't get her to slow down enough for a better one)

We celebrated the New Year with Aunt T and Uncle Ferfer (hopefully they will send pictures since I forgot my camera at home) and our family friends at TriplePlay in Coeur d'Alene. The kids had a lot of fun playing at the water park with their friends, Foster and Isabella. We hadn't seen them for a couple months which is a drastic change to the everyday visits we had when we were living across the street from them in Somers. We had a ton of fun catching up and are looking forward to heading back to the Flathead Valley soon to see them again.

Too Much T.V.- is it possible?

During lunch at our table...

Sawyer: Mom, if you have to stop and go to the bathroom a lot of times on our drive to vacation then you should see your doctor he might be able to help.

Mom: What?

Sawyer: If you have to stop to pee a lot of times while we drive to our vacation you should see your doctor he might be able to help you.

Mom: Who told you that?

Sawyer: Mom, it's okay I just saw it on t.v.

Introducing...

Baby Girl Perry currently expected to

arrive December 16, 2010. Confirmed

many times, to Sawyer's dismay, by

the Ultrasound Tech. "Did you already

check to make sure it was a girl?" "Are

you sure that you said it was a girl?" And

on and on, he is beginning to warm up to

the idea of "having two little sisters to take

care of." And on the bright side, "When you

aren't around mom, I am in charge of two

sisters now." Always the optimist. Sorry the

picture is a little blurry, I will get some

better ones up later, when I have some more

time.

Summer Fun

Sawyer has been waiting patiently for it to be warm enough here to pull out our giant water slide. When the day finally arrived I had to make him aware the water slide had been packed away due to the future move...not the correct answer from mom. Luckily, our neighbors and great friends have just enough of a hill in their front yard that they have a great slip and slide opportunity. Since neither one of us owns a slip and slide we created one that the kids seem to enjoy greatly. It's amazing what two tarps and a few screwdrivers complete with a hose can do. They have enjoyed this slip and slide several times since this first warm
day of summer. We have since added several intertubes and other forms of slippery fun...Sophia even occasionally takes a trip down the tarp when we can break her away from the bowl of watermelon. She has turned out to be much more of a sun bather than water seeker. But she has just as much fun watching the other kids slip down the slide. I hope you all are enjoying these warm days of summer...

Spring T-Ball

Spring started with T-ball, Sawyer's first year. He was looking forward to it for weeks and was just as excited once he got started. He had a ton of fun and was pretty good at it. His coach encouraged everyone not to use the tee, Sawyer didn't seem to mind at all since we pitch to him at home. He was the only left handed batter on his team and never had trouble getting on base. He learned that he loved playing first base since that is where all the action is. He is already looking forward to it next spring.

I may have mentioned several hundred...thousand times to my husband about when he forgot our wedding anniversary over the past two years-some of you may have also heard about it. Well he has outdone himself today and I am publically committing to never mention the forgotten anniversary again because we are going to see Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum this May in Spokane. With the exception of my friend Paula, I may be one of the biggest Tim McGraw fans so as you could imagine I am looking forward to it. Spencer, you have totally redeemed yourself and thanks for the great gift-
