He's Two and She's Four, and you know they adore you

That's the only part of the song that applies: "I can give you two reasons to show you love's not blind, He's two and she's four and you know they adore you..." The rest most definately does not apply! (For those of you who don't know the Dixie Chicks song, its about a guy who leaves his family for another woman...)

ANYWAY, E just turned 2 on Wednesday, and he's not hiding it at all! He is getting so big, and learning so fast! Potty training is still in progress, but going well. More words are working thier way out every day! Trucks and cars are still his love...I'm not exaggerating. And thank you everyone for his great gifts! He got everything I could think he could possibly ask for...cars, trucks, tractors, (noise-making, the whole lot), hats, sunglasses, shoes, train & track! You guys are great, THANK YOU! Pics are to come later - don't miss 'em!

And for those of you who were at his party, I would like to mention he is no longer afraid of the wheelie poppin' car! - thank you Grandma Gauthier (really, he loves it)- For that matter, I don't really believe he was afraid of it, I think it made him mad that it got away from him! (for those of you not there - it drives away after pushing a button, and pops a wheelie!) He loves it even more now that he figured out, with someone on the other end, it will come back to him. Still does NOT want to share it.

Dear Kathchen, I love your blog and all but I think maybe you should disable the link to Craving Chronicles until certain persons among us are not dieting ;)

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.

Caught Bare Bottomed.

Yesterday I went to retrieve my kids from playing in the backyard with the neighbors....When I round the corner I behold my 5 year old daughter with her shorts baring her bottom to the 6 year old neighbor boy. Me:  M!  E!  It is time to go home. now! M:  E did it too! (while sheepishly pulling her shorts back up and E snaps his head around to look at me with big eyes and "O" mouth) WHY?

back to school

We had a great trip up to Idaho for a family reunion (J's side of the family) after a short camping trip with some of my family in Iowa (not family from Iowa, just where we met up). We've been pretty busy and summer has disappeared. It didn't help that I had summer classes,and only 3 weeks off. We got to do some rough scouting in Colorado, to see where we might likely live when we finally move. Quite a few good stories, but I split them up. When we were in Colorado Springs we decided to go to Seven Falls - where they told us the Mountain elevator is broken, so they will take $1 off our admissions. We agreed, not minding 185 steps....wait, what did J just agree to? So we went to climb said stairs, which were small, and steep and seemed to go on forever; about half way up - the first set of stairs - M gets tired of climbing (we saw this coming,and I didn't blame her, I was tired too!) so I take E from J and J picks up M (he's stronger after all). We push ourselves th...
