June was all about our Colorado trip for Brian and Erica's wedding. We also celebrated Daddy's birthday, Joey's birthday and Gramma Lang's Birthday. We had Father's Day with daddy.
July flew by me going to Phoenix for convention and lots of locket parties! We spent 4th of July with Aunt Becky & Uncle Steve. We had our 15th wedding anniversary with little or no fanfare! You went to the Zoo with Gramma Debi D and Allen and had lots of fun. She visited with you another time and you went bowling.
August was lots of fun. You went to a family reunion/birthday party on the Lang side. I couldn't go so Aunt Val & Gramma took you. We went to St. Joe for a hotel night with a pool and KC Chiefs training camp - so much fun! My birthday came and went. Now, August is over and it is time for fall!!
I need to get on here more often so that I can make notes of little things. It was nap time on Friday and Joey was having a hard time settling down. I went in there and he laid on my tummy for a bit. Elijah asked if he could lay on his tummy. Joey laid his head down and Elijah stroked his hair and sang "Hush little baby." I just had to watch and sigh in contentment. You guys sure do kill me sometimes!!
We have some assigned chores around the house. Just today, Joey has started helping, too. You guys have 3 chores... gather your milk cups around the house so we can wash them, unload the dishwasher (handing me one item at a time) and then putting the soap in the dishwasher and starting it. Joey would just play but today, he took it all over. He unloaded about 75% of the dishwasher and was ready to put the soap in and close it before I even started loading it. He also likes to stand on his chair and rinse out dishes to hand them to me for the dishwasher!
This weekend is a holiday weekend and our intent was to stay home all weekend and boot camp potty train Joey. Well, yesterday was a fail. And, it looks like today, we gave up because you guys are at the Children's Museum with Andrew & Tyler. :)
I am way behind on my scrapbooking but I got quite a few pages done yesterday. I haven't posted in awhile and so some of these go all the way back to October!!
Christmas morning at our house. I think I am finally done with scrapping Christmas!
