MIMI DAY 05-05-2010 RED BUTTE GARDENS

Boo's fieldtrip to the Fire Station in Stansbury.

Dinosaur Museum, Thanksgiving Point

Not than many really great pictures, but we had a really great day! Last year when we went he was a little afraid of the big old dinosaurs. This year he stayed really close to me, then we walked thru a second time & he was much braver. He's studying dinosaurs in school so he had a ton of questions.

First a soccer game, then fishing!!!

Boo's concentrating hard to catch those blue gills. He can see them swimming around so he's dangling the worm in front of their face. He caught over a dozen fish and even took two home for his waterfall, so he was happy. Don't tell the soccer coach I let him fish in his uniform though.                                                      

Boo's 4th Birthday~A New Bike & Nintendo DS~The Aquarium

 

I love how he's saying WOW at the jellyfish!

Luckily we had  beautiful weather for Boo's family birthday party last week-end, because it rained all day on

his birthday. We went to the aquarium and had a fun day anyway.  We didn't get to fish, but we got to look at them!

The rain did bring a Beautiful Rainbow though and Boo asked his Mom; "Who made that rainbow?" and she said "God" and Boo said "God must've known it was by Birthday!"  Yes, God is looking out for him.

What a nice birthday present.

First Goal of Gavins Soccer Career. That's Our Boy!!!!

Boos 1st Soccer Game~He's #3

When I told Boo we were coming to his game and were going to yell "GO BOO" he told me NO MIMI

you can clap, but don't holler GO BOO. So I tried really hard to keep quiet! He did really good & one time during

the middle of the game ran by us and waved! The name of his team is the Alligators. As a sports mom for so many years, I am so excited to be a Sports Mimi. Right at the top of my list as one of my favorite ways to spend a Saturday morning.

That wore me out!!!

MIMI DAY 04-07-2010

BOO IS ALMOST FOUR AND GETTING PRETTY STINGY WITH THOSE KISSES. SO YESTERDAY BEFORE HE AND PAPA WENT OUTSIDE TO FISH I TOLD HIM I NEEDED A KISS TO BRING HIM GOOD LUCK. IT TOOK AWHILE, BUT HE FINALLY CAUGHT A COUPLE FISH. HE RAN IN AND TOLD ME "MIMI, IT WORKED, IT WORKED". I'M SO GLAD. MAYBE I'LL GET A COUPLE MORE KISSES IN THE FUTURE! PROMISING THE FISH HE'LL THROW HIM BACK.

IT WAS A BIG ONE. HE WORKED HARD TO GET IT IN.

Boo Finally Ran out of Juice Sunday Afternoon

Right before Boo goes to sleep he always says he's hungry. He told Tom "I'm really thirsty and hungry BUDDY!" After fishing, and bike riding, and playing so hard, he finally laid down on Tom and he was Out!!!

Week-end with our Montana Kids.

The paparazzi have spotted Baby K!
First stop is LA FRA with Cousin Gavin for a smothered burritos.

Adorable with a capitol "A"

Killian is so good with sign language and

kept telling us his mouth hurt. Poor Baby!!!

"I didn't know you had a chair my size."

Loves

"DO YOU LIVE WITH MiMi??????"

Happy Boy.

MiMi's House: Where cousins become Best Friends.

BOO AND PAPA'S PROJECT. I DON'T KNOW WHO WAS MORE EXCITED!!!

BOO & PAPA BUILDING THE PLAYHOUSE IN THE GARAGE. IT SERIOUSLY TOOK 3-4 HOURS. I WAS IMAGINING A HOLE CUT FOR A DOOR, BUT PAPA HAD OTHER PLANS WHICH INCLUDED TWO DOORS AND THREE WINDOWS.

THEN IT HAD TO BE CUT IN HALF TO GET IT IN THE HOUSE, THEN PUT BACK TOGETHER. IT IS PERMANENTLY NOW IN MY VINYL ROOM & I HAVE PROMISED BABY K I WOULD LEAVE IT UP UNTIL HE COMES TO VISIT THE NEXT TIME. I HOPE IF "HOUSE BEAUTIFUL MAGAZINE" SHOWS UP TO DO A PHOTOSHOOT, THEY'LL OVERLOOK IT!! HA

NEXT HE WANTED POPCORN, A BLANKET, STUFFED ANIMALS, THEN HE ASKED FOR A TV. I LAUGHED, BUT PAPA WENT AND FOUND THE PORTABLE DVD PLAYER & HOOKED IT UP & HE STAYED IN THE PLAYHOUSE WITH BOO AND WATCHED A WHOLE MOVIE.

HE EVEN HAS A LAKE VIEW OUT OF HIS HOUSE.

NEXT HE WANTED TO DECORATE IT. I KNEW I'D SAVED ALL THAT SCRAP VINYL FOR A GOOD REASON. HE SPENT HOURS "DECORATING" AND SINCE THESE PICTURES WE'VE SPENT ANOTHER DAY "DECORATING". I'LL ADD MORE PICTURES ONE DAY.

BOO IS SUCH A LUCKY LITTLE BOY TO HAVE A PAPA THAT LOVES HIM SO MUCH AND IS SO TALENTED & CREATIVE TO COME UP WITH THIS. XOXOXO

AND ONE OTHER BONUS: THE PLAYHOUSE BOX CAME WITH A BEAUTIFUL SECTIONAL.

We're so Happy Baby K and his mom & dad finally made it to our house last week-end!! It was so fun, and went so fast.

We celebrated Tara's birthday. Cute matching PJ's . They didn't have matching ones for Clay though, darn't!

Papa giving horsey rides. Gavin is so happy Baby K came to visit.

Nothing feels so good for a mom, than to have everyone home.

"When the whole family is together, the soul is in place."

Gavin hid Uncle Clay's Hat behind the couch as a trick. So the next day when his glasses were missing he looked behind the couch then called Gavin & asked what he did with them. Gavin promised he hadn't seen them.  Well the next day Clay found them in his car so he called Gavin to tell him Sorry that he thought he had hid them & he found them. Gavin responded:" IT'S OK UNCLE CLAY~STUFF HAPPENS!"

Childrens Museum at Gateway

Uncle Clay are you in there????

That's high enough Papa!

I am a Shining Knight in Armor.

"Mimi, Will you ask my Dad if he'll buy me one of these?"
