July 2008

July has been soooooo busy! But we have had alot of fun!

Uncle Roci Came to Visit!

Our Uncle Roci came to visit us for just a short time yesterday! He had a very long lay-over on his way to California so we all had dinner at Uncle Jim and Aunt Nini's house! It was so good to see him. He even gave Stephanie and I some cards that we can take to the toy store and buy toys!! I cant wait to go! Then we had to take him back to the airport and I wanted to go on the airplane with him but mommy said, "not today." Thank you Uncle Roci! We love you!

Alphabet Time

We have started school...with mommy. She tries to make it fun...but I really want to ride the bus and play on a playground...not happening at this school just yet! We are learning a letter a day (or two days)...taking our time. Today we learned about "A". Mommy made these neat papers that we put on the refrigerator...she tried to find what she wanted online, but couldnt, so she decided to make her own. She said she would email them to anyone else that wanted to use them to learn their letters too. Pretty soon i'll be writing my own blog entries!!

Quilts for Sale!

Anyone getting cold at night?? Probably not quite at this time of year...but plan ahead! Grandma Phillips has quilts for sale and you will not find better made quilts! A link to her website on our blog...on the right hand side...under "Our Favorite Links" - Quilts by Grandma! They would make great gifts or just keep them for yourself!!

Out of the Mouths of a Babe!

Mommy has to go to the dentist today...she's scared...she does not like the dentist. But I told her what I learned at Vacation Bible School..."Have no fear....Jesus is here!"

Garage Sale!

Hey everybody! We have been soooo busy this week getting ready for a garage sale. Mommy is selling alot of our toys (which she says we have too many and dont even play with them all!) and alot of our baby clothes. It was very hot today, and she says we have to do it again tomorrow!! At least I get to play with my Cousin Leah! We've been painting signs...and our faces!

4th of July - Busy Day!

As we said before, we had a wonderful weekend with family and friends. On the 4th of July, we started out trying to wake up Papa and Nanny by knocking on the door...then blew some bubbles....then went to a parade...then went to Aunt Ninny's and Uncle Jims for a picnic...then went on the boat (see fishing trip)...and finished the day off with a bang! Thanks to Uncle Jim, we had our very own fireworks show...and we didnt have to fight the crowds! I had alot of fun...and yes, Stephanie is always eating or drinking something! We picked up so much candy from the parade, Mommy says we're set until Halloween!
ps - mommy says, nobody sings it like Whitney!

Our First Fishing Trip!

We did so much this weekend....many posts to come! Here was one of the highlights...our very first fishing trip. We actually went on the boat twice. Once with our Papa and Nanny who were visiting from Oregon. The second time to actually fish, with our Daddy, Mommy, Aunt Laurene, and Uncle Jim. I know I saw Willy in the water...He needed me...I kept calling him, but he never came to the boat. Oh well. Maybe next time! Oh and when you are listening to the song and here it talk about our "cold brew"...rest assured...it was apple juice!

Funny Story!

Chris was in the bathroom combing his hair getting ready for work. The girls and I were fixing his lunch, as usual. Chris yells from the bathroom, "I think my hair is getting more red." And without hesitation, Samantha yells back, "No Daddy, just white." I haven't laughed so hard in quite awhile!!!
