WOO HOO VACATION

I'm goin to Idaho, I'm goin to Idaho....da da da, la la la....
I'm so excited. J, M and I are all leaving on Saturday morning to fly to Idaho! not to mention my sister Erin will also be arriving that day! And who will be there to greet us? Mom and Emily!!! YAY!!! (although I will sadly note Megan and my neices, and of course Jason, will not be there)
I love my family! I'm pretty sure they know that... but just in case - I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

I miss everyone so much because we all live so far apart. It's a very sad story. But every once in a while we get to get together and it's worth the world to me! AHHH!!! I want to scream I'm so excited. I am stressing myself out though, trying to get everything in order and ready. J tries to be helpful, but mostly he's only good for taking care of his stuff ( he kinda just gets in the way of everything else, but I appreciate the effort.) It is incredible how much harder it is to just get one baby packed, much less myself. It is even more amazing how much stuff one baby needs - fortunatley Emily has a lot of friends with babies, so it cuts down my load some - no high chair needed, no extra toys or entertainment to bring, she even offered baby food (which of course M refuses to eat now)- but still...babies! goodness!!

Today, while trying to get everything ready, M still needs all her attention. So she was fussing that I was neglecting that fact, until I had no choice but to sit down with her. At some point I decided to sing the ABC's to her. I don't sing it often enough, so she made me make it up to her today. After I finished my first round, she sat and smiled a minute, and then made the hand sign for 'more'. So I sing it again. 'more' she says. So I sing it again. 'more'. again. 'more'. again. finally I told her "there is no more, it ends with Z." Thank goodness she was content to stare at the fish for awhile.

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!

bribe

We had a fun weekend - we went to the zoo which was having family fun day, and then we went to the dog show (both of which were free). Then on Sunday we went to Greg & Robin's to see their new puppies, and they are stinkin' cute! And Greg BBQ'ed for us - yummy! At one point, while we were hanging out at their house, Robin sat down on the couch and asked M if she was gonna come sit by her, and M said: "I will sit by you if you get me a drink of water." (as she was climbing up on the couch next to her). And this would be the first time I have heard her use a bribe (and certainly not the last) - I told her maybe she should ask instead and she got embarassed.
