You would have thought we told her....

..she was going to Disneyworld she was soooo excited!!! A couple of weeks ago, RDC told MWC he was going to take her on a "date".--Just the two of them. He told her they were going to lunch and then to the movies. Well EVERYDAY that next week, she would say something about it. "On Saturday, me and Daddy are going on a date." or "That is the movie Daddy and I are going to see on our date." She could NOT wait. They had a GREAT time!!! I am sure there will be more Daddy/daughter dates in her future!!!

Before they left.....

Lunch at one of her favorite "establishments"...

...and at the movies!!!! (Even though she did not wear the glasses for the movies!)

Wordless Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday

I have seen this on some other blogs and thought it was a cute idea. On Wednesdays the post is just a picture. So I figured "why not". It is not like we don't have ANY good pictures of our babies!!! :) So---our first Wordless Wednesday picture. (OK--so this Wednesday is not COMPLETELY wordless :)

A song from MWC....

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KAYKAY!!! Hope you have a fun day celebrating and we can't wait to celebrate with you!! We love you!!!!

On this day back in 2000, this lady made me the happiest man alive. And to my amazement, has done so every day since for the past 9 years.

I LOVE YOU BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Where is she?!?!?

When JDC puts his hands up like he is asking "where" or "what" he is usually looking for his sister. He usually wants to be entertained by her, near her, or playing peek-a-boo while she runs around him. We LOVE that sound of them playing and laughing together!!! It can have been loud in our house for hours and when I think I have had just about enough noise but hear that, I can't say stop it. It will bring a smile to your face not matter what is going on. Well last night, I was about to put JDC down for bed and his daddy came in to give him kisses and he put his hands up and was looking at the door --and we knew what he was thinking. We asked if he wanted to give MWC kisses before bed and he did the sign language for "please." (That is his was of communicating most of the time--his few words of signing.) Anyway, RDC took him into the bathroom where she was taking a bath and he gave his sister hugs and kisses and then was ready for bed. :) We thought it was too sweet!! I can't express to you how much I LOVE our babies!! Yes- we have had a few rough days and they are not as perfect as grandparents think they can be :)--but I would not change ANYTHING about them and I love them to pieces!!!!

Where to start!??!?!?!!

We had a GREAT 4th of July weekend!! We did not stop but had lots of fun!! Friday started the festivities with lunch at Pop and Granny's celebrating Pop's birthday. We ate lunch and decorated Pop's truck for their neighborhood's annual 4th of July Parade. Pop went out and bought ALL kinds of things --from decorations for the truck, to hats for us all to wear to beads for us to throw at the parade goers!!! (I am not sure who was more excited--Pop or MWC!!)

Then later that day we went to the annual Balloon Glow with some friends from Sunday School. At this get together, several people blow up their hot air balloons and then at sunset, they all "glow" their balloons at the same time. We started going to this when I was in high school and not missed many years since then. I love going --mainly because it is just a "big ole' social event" where we do a lot of visiting!!! (Right up my alley!!) and then they end the event with a fireworks display. MWC and JDC loved watching the fireworks!!!

On the way home!!!--Poor tired babies!!!

Then on the actual 4th---PARADE DAY!!!! We headed over to Pop and Granny's to get ready to be in the parade!!! It was fun....but about 3/4th the way through, MWC looked at us and said, "can we go back to their house?? I am sweaty!!!" She's my girl!!! Not a big fan of sweat!! :)

Getting ready to ride in the parade!!!

But she survived and after the parade we tried to go swimming but the pool was closed. So we headed home and played on the slip and slide!! Then after JDC and I napped :)--we went to have supper at KayKay and Will's. (Sorry no pictures--too busy chasing after a 15 month old!!) But we did have a GREAT time celebrating Pop's birthday, the 4th and spending time hanging out and being with family!!!

MWC and JDC have a special message....

We love you, Pop and hope that you have a WONDERFUL birthday!!!!
