One Hot, Muggy Day

We went to the Air Show today. Hot, hot, hot. It was NASTY. The older kids had a good time, but it was a bit much for Benjamin. He looked pretty miserable in the heat. We left a little early, all went home and took showers, and then met for dinner at Texas Roadhouse (very kid friendly!).

Jacob and Chloe entertained us by belting out Taylor Swift songs (they've agreed they have the same taste in music -- Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga). Apparently several other people at Texas Roadhouse are Taylor Swift fans as well, because we heard her songs AT LEAST seven times while we were there. Thank you, Texas Roadhouse.

Baseball!

Greg's work scheduled a company baseball night a couple of months ago. Then my work scheduled one for the same night. Weird, huh? We went through Greg's work because it was FREE and because it included a party deck area with food. Plus, I didn't know of anyone from my work going (it's a big company).

It was a really great evening, with a nice breeze to keep the heat from being unbearable. The kids enjoyed watching the planes fly over (to promote the air show over the weekend). They also had fun playing with the many kids there.

Pool Time


We were in St. Louis a couple of weekends ago. Good times in the pool!

Just a Few Things

Benjamin's very interested in motorcycles right now. He points out every one he sees on the road. While sitting at the table recently, he said, "Motorcycle!" I said, "Did you hear a motorcycle?" He then said, "No. Just kidding!"

*********************************
Benjamin has been playing with my old cell phone (battery removed) a lot lately. He calls and talks to Aunt Sarah. The conversations basically consist of "Heh-wo? How you, Aunt Say-wah? I wuv you. Bye!"

The other night he woke up crying. I went into his room and he was standing in his crib, eyes still closed, saying, "Mah phone! Mah phone!" I pointed it out to him and he went back to sleep.

From a few weeks ago:
Jacob told Greg he really likes the little lamp in his room because it gives off a nice glow and makes his room feel so cozy.
