Summer is here

Today Jason got Day a surprise, and he did it all by himself.  It was a princess slip and slide, and she loved it.  She kept saying "oh thank you daddy."  She loves it! 

Earlier we were outside and Day wanted me to let her in to get a jacket (which I thought was odd).  I let her in and she came outside wearing her lifejacket, then she got in her pool. 

When Jason got up this morning, he got ready to go a Union Meeting.  Day walked in and said "Daddy don't go to work".  Then she said "stay here and play with me and Kenna" (I think she really thinks of Kenna as her sister), "we are family". 

This is picture taken after Nana brought Day back from vacation bible school sign-up.  She did very well.  Someone even commented on how social she was.  She would go to other children and say"what you name is"?

This is a pictured she colored for Nana all by herself.  She even matched the crayon colors to the pictures by herself.  I'm very proud and secretly hope she always, "colors outside the lines!"

She got really close to an almost broken window today in our living room.  I pulled her to the side and said,"don't get near that window it could hurt you, and mommy would be sad if her baby was hurt."  To which she replied with a "bit" of a tantrum, "I'm not a baby, I'm a big girl!"  "Yes you are a big girl" I said, and I was thinking you are too big already.

Lastly,  What is coming out of the box?

A mole that sprung out of the ground as Day was playing on her slide.  So we set him free to be with his momma.

Yes, she pet him.

See ya later, mole!

Memorial Day 2010

We had a great Memorial Day.  We spent it with our friends Trent and Leslie and Kent and Tamra just relaxing on the lake.  Tamra and I have been friends since high school.  It was fun and relaxing.  Day played with all the kids, and made three new friends Brayden, Tyler, and Jade.  She kept calling Jade her sister.  Day also made friends with neighboring campers.  If she saw a dog she would go over and ask if she could pet it. Hayley was also great for Day to play with.  Hope to do this more this Summer.  Heres a pic of the girls playing in the sand.

Shrek 4

I have to say I loved Shrek 4.  It makes you appreciate what you have, and boy it made us appreciate what we have in more ways than one!  It was actually Day's second movie.  She already saw the chipmunks about a year ago, but this was the first one where we watched the whole movie.  She kept saying, "what's gonna happen next, where's Fiona, thats not Fiona, oh and Whats gonna happen next.  The girl watches movies like her momma does, hehe!  Of course after the show we stayed and played games in the game room.  That girl loves games like her daddy!

The Zoo

This was our first trip to the new children's zoo and we all had a wonderful time. I think our favorite part was actually the Oklahoma exhibit. I am so glad Jason talked me into going through it. Day's favorite part was either seeing all of other kids, or taking pictures with every statue in the park. Everytime we passed one, she would ask me to take her picture. She also kissed every statue and if the animal was close enough she would try to kiss them too, just like she did to a frog we caught and she held at home.

Eureka Springs Cabin

I love Eueka Springs and can't wait to go back.  We shopped, took pictures at Judge Roy Beans, visited the turpentine refuge, quigleys castle, Eureka Underground, pivot rock, and thorncrown chapel.  We stayed in our old cabins.  Well anyway here are alot of pics!  I've decided to break up this post so here is our cabin part.

The View outside our cabin.

I got a little bubble happy! The tub was running over so I had to put some in the sink.  These pictures were taken in "our" cabin #7 at Lakeshore cabins.

Watching the deer outside our cabin.

Eureka Springs site-seeing

It was the perfect temperature when we went.  It rained alittle, but by each afternoon, it had stopped and the weather was nice.  These are some places we visited.

These were taken at Quigley Castle, the grandaughter to old man quigley apparently gave us the tour.  It had some pretty plants and flowers, and other "unique" stuff as well.

This is pivot rock.  My man is strong!

This is me at turpentine animal refuge looking at Vada.

Vada snoozing!

This is Willy the lion, it was neat to be so close to him when he would roar.

This is Thunder.

Eureka then and now

This is us leaving for Eureka Springs on Friday morning.

Jason kept snapping pictures, and I didn't know he was going to do that so he took one of just himself.  I don't know why but I think that is funny!

This is us on the balcony of the cabin.  Ok now the fun stuff.

This is us standing in front of the cabin#7 door in December of 2004.

This is us standing in front of the same door in May 2010.  Yes it is the same door.  We just have a better camera now!

This picture was taken at Judge Roy Beans in 2004...

and this one in 2010!

Again, this one is from December of 2004...

and May of 2010!

I love that we have done this each time we've went.  I hope we do it everytime.  I can't wait to play dress-up again, and I'm so lucky to be able to have a husband who is my friend, and I have so much fun with!
