Idaho Trip...where to begin???

I am so behind on blogging lately. I have been enjoying the 90 Degree weather in Idaho. We did so many fun things and I know that this post won't tell all of what we did but trust me we had fun everyday.

We went to the zoo...

                                                                  Fed and chased Kitties

                                                                           Even chased them under cars...

                                                                      Threw rocks in the pond....

                                                           Watered flowers....

                                                              Sprayed Devin with water....

                                                                        Played catch....

                                                                Jumped on the tramp...

                                                              Roasted marshmellows and ate smores...

                                                                          Got real sticky...

                                                              Had a bridal shower for Carly...

                                                       Jumped on the tramp some more...

                                                        Had a pet racoon for a couple of weeks but he ran away :(....

                                                                     Tried to do makeup....

                                                           Ate lots of peas from the garden...

                                                  Blew out birthday candles for Grandpa's B-day...

                                                       Had two pet turtles....

                                                      

                                               And last but not least Devin and Carly got married!

There is the very short version of our very long Idaho trip.  It is great to be back home...but not so great to be in 110 degree temperature!

Stories

Taycee has been saying the funniest things lately so I of course have to blog about them so I remember them.

The other day I was in a hurry and needed to kill two birds with one stone, so I asked Taycee if she would shower with me to save some time.  Usually she would say no because she doesn't like water in her face but this time she said yes.  So we got in the shower together (sorry a little TMI???) Anyways so while we are showering I turn to put my face in the water to wash it off.  All of a sudden I hear "Cute bum Mom" Ha ha.  I couldn't stop laughing for the longest time.  What a compliment huh?? Kids say the darndest things.  :)


We are in Idaho right now.  Which is awesome because it gives us a lot of free babysitters :) The other day I had to run somehwere real fast and Taycee was still napping so I told my brother to listen for her to wake up.  Well I guess she woke up and he went in there to get her.  He said "Taycee can I get in your crib with you?" She of course said "NO"   He said "Am I too big" She said "NO"  He said "Am I too fat"  She said "No mommy's fat!" Ha ha.......the reason she said that is because everytime I get dressed and look in the mirror I say "Taycee I'm fat"  Guess I should start saying "Taycee I'm Skinny" :)     Love this age!

A day at the aquarium

Taycee loves fish.  We took her to the AZ aquarium and she had a blast.  She of course cried when we left.  The rest of the day all she talked about was the two sharks she saw.  She thought it was great.  Scott and I loved it because it was in an air conditioned place.

No Nap

This is what happens when you have a busy day and no nap!

 Scott and I were both shocked that she fell asleep in the highchair so we had to take a picture next to her :)

World MS Day

Today is World Multiple Sclerosis Day.  I thought I would blog about it considering that I have MS :) There are a lot of people out there who are living with MS, and a lot more people who don't know what the disease is (which is fine because I only knew a little before being diagnosed.) So if your interested in finding out more click here.  It's a great website.

Movies

Taycee loves watching movies lately.  First it was Finding Nemo.  After a month or two I finally got her to switch to Toy Story 3.  We have been watching it for quite a while. 

 I was getting quite sick of Toy Story 3 so I decided to buy Cars thinking she would like it.  So that night we bought it I put it in the TV in our room.  It wasn't about 5 minutes into the movie she came into the living room looked at me and said "It's dumb.  I want Toys"  Seriously?? Where in the world did she come up with the word dumb and how did she even know how to use it in a sentence properly.  I guess she really is a sponge and we definitely need to be more careful with what we say around her. :)

Sorry Cars you didn't make the cut but give it another month or two and she will watch you non stop for 4 or 5 months straight!

Ice Cream

This is Taycee's favorite ice cream right now.  Last night we all had ice cream and she was super excited for her orange cream.  She was sitting in her high chair and Scott came over and said "Can I have some." She looked at him very seriously while she was treating her self to a spoon full of it and said "ewwww ucky, it's ucky" Ha Ha.  Scott and I definitely had a good laugh.
