So Funny

So we set up our pool in the back yard today. The boys have been waiting all week, but it keeps raining. I sent Brock inside to change into his swim suit, and it turns out the one we bought him last year for our Hawaii trip no longer fits. Only here's the thing - it's not too small, it's too big. He had to wear his one from two summers ago. Our conversation went like this:

"Wow, Brock, I guess you've lost weight," Ruth says.

"Yeah, that's because I've been eating Special K cereal," Brock states very matter-of-factly.

"Huh?"Ruth asks, not sure she heard him correctly.

"Yeah, I read that it helps you lose weight."

Ruth laughs her head off. 

We do have a lot of Special K on hand, because (in case you haven't read my list of favorite things on the right side of this page) the Chocolatey Delight kind is a favorite snack of mine.

Father and Sons

      Father and Sons was last Friday. It was Tyler's first time camping. He loved every second of it, and only missed his Mom a little at bed time. They shared a huge tent with our neighbors who have a boy Brock's age and a four year old whom Tyler adores, so they all had a really good time.

Happy Birthday Beth!!

Today is my little sister's birthday. She's only two years younger than me and we have been good friends our entire lives. She's one of my favorite people in the world, and I just wanted her to know how much I love her and that I am thinking about her on her birthday. (I'll call, too, of course) Happy Birthday Sis! Love you!
