The Mall and more Mall..........

Ok my day was a little crazy but nothing too bad. My dad wanted me to go shopping at the Mentor Mall with him today to pick out my mom a birthday present. So me and the 3 kids picked him up and off we went. He wanted to get my mom a Miche purse. (www.michebag.com) we had so much fun. We had lunch at the food court found the purses and picked out some great stuff. He also got her a gift card so she could pick out more. THE KIDS WERE GREAT!!!!! Then off to home. We hung out at home for a little while and then went to Grandma Linda's to play with her kids. (my mom does in home daycare) then my dad gave her the birthday present. (her b-day is not until Wed. but he could not wait) So we went back to Mentor my mom picked out some more skins for her purses they are SO NEAT I love it. And we went to Joann Fabrics and then we went to Lowe's. My dryer broke 2 weeks ago and with Shaun out of town I can not wait another 2 weeks for a dryer so we just had to get a new one. We just got home, Emma is spending the night with my mom and Sophia, Leigha, and I are getting ready to go up to bed. We are going to hit the Garage Sales at 9 am.

Just a Thursday

Well not to much going on today. I thought Sophia broke her other hand today! Tuesday she fell on it and she was fine. But last night she was crying it hurt and she was not using it. So today we got up and heading to the doctors. We had to get a X-Ray so Nana Bell came with us. She went in with Sophia while she got her X-Ray and I stayed out with Emma and Leigha. She did GREAT. She did not even cry. (the last time she SCREAMED!) They called and said it looks swollen and that maybe she just jammed it. But no fracture or break. WOOHOO. We spent the rest of the day at Grandma Linda's playing and relaxing. We ran to Walmart and ate dinner over there and then came home around 9 pm. Now I am off to go upstairs and read with Emma. She is on the 4th Harry Potter book and LOVING it.

Wagon Trails

We had a great day! We went with all the girls from school. (New PTO officers and old officers) and all our kids. (We missed you Billie, Adam, and Karley) We went to Wagon Trails, it was about an hour away. We had a BLAST! Thanks Debbie for suggesting this very fun activity. Wait until you see all the pictures. I took 237 so I only can add a few..........

Emma all ready to go. It was a very rainy and misty day but we were all excited and ready to go.
Leigha was SO good. She slept all the way there and the whole wagon ride. She is an amazing baby!!!!

Mommy and Emma

Jamie, Emma, and Karlee

Sophia and her monkey

We rode on a big wagon car and the animals just came up to us and we fed them feed. It was crazy. They chased us.

Can you tell she was amazed!!

The water looked clear and calm until the lady threw in some fish food.

Emma telling me what the animals were doing when she fed them.

Water Buffalo

I LOVE THIS PICTURE.

The camels were CRAZY!!!! The Camels were at our 5th stop. None of the animals were too crazy so when we stopped for the camels we were all talking and just looking around and 1st a Camel ripped Emma's bucket of feed right out of her hand and she screamed. Then I was sitting with Sophia on my lap and she was holding a bucket of feed. Well the camel went over my head and into her bucket I don't know who yelled more me or Sophia and we both held tight to the bucket, we were not letting it go. So all the girls I was with ran towards us and grabbed Sophia and helped me fight to get my bucket back. In the mean time the Camel slimmed my one side and back. (YUCK) then the Camel ripped the bucket out of Sammy's hand. (the little boy we were with) Then the MUDDY Water Buffalo was having a good old time wagging his tail and I did not realize he was spraying me with mud. So my back, hair, and face were sprinkled with mud. It was funny.

Typical Sophia.......

Our day went pretty smooth.......

Today I went and got my blood work done, my mom watched Sophia and Emma while I did that and some other small errands. After that we hung out at Grandma Linda's for a little while. This is mommy and Leigha watching the kids on the slip and slide.

Leigha is so cute!!!!

All the kids.

Morgan, Stephanie, Taylor, Carter, Caiden, Emma, and Sophia.

Sophia, Morgan, and Stephanie always walked down the slip and slide and always in a line together.

After dinner Ruth and Paul came over to say their final goodbyes!!! It was really hard to say goodbye. They are going to have so much fun together in Utah and we will see them sometime. Thank goodness for the internet so I will send them lots of pictures and they will not miss anything. (and they better send lots of pictures!)

Our Swimming Day.....

We had such a great day. We went SWIMMING!!! (well the girls did) Ruthie and Paul invited us to come swimming at Paul's Aunt's house. So Nana Bell, myself, Leigha, Sophia, and Emma met Ruth, Paul, and Chelsey (Paul's sister) and her little girl Lilly who is 3 days older than Leigha. It was so nice, the weather was GREAT. The pool was heated so it made for a great swimming day. THANK YOU so much Paul and Ruth. It was the girls 1st time swimming this year!!! Above is a picture of Aunt Ruthie with Baby Lilly. She is so good with all the kids and babies. We are going to miss her so much!!!! Thanks for such a great day. We love you guys.

Sophia had a bathing suit with floaters in it and she was in a little boat. She swam around GREAT. She loved and it was nice that she did not sink.

Emma showing me she can put her face in the water. She did so good today and had a blast.

There is Uncle Paul. He is SO GREAT with the girls. He is always willing to help me out and to play with them. THANKS PAUL. We are going to miss having you around every week.

Paul helping Sophia surf around the pool on a little board. She loved it.

Emma showing me she can touch the bottom, she was so excited!

Paul's aunt lives on a farm! They had COWS! So it was so nice when it was time to go we told the girls if you get out and get dressed we can go and see the cows. Well that worked GREAT! They were dressed and ready to go in no time.

Sophia took some of the pictures of the cows, she was very excited!

On the way home Sophia took a nice nap.

Shaun

Shaun is leaving for a couple of weeks to work with his buddy Josh. So I will be updating my blog a little more often so he can check it and know what is going on with the girls.
