Melts my Heart

Tonight as I was getting ready for Eric and I's "date night".  Collin was in our bed jumping away while I was putting on makeup.  All of the sudden he starts continually to say, "mommy, mommy, mommy".  I finally peered my head around the corner and said, "Yes Collin"  And in just a matter of seconds he just melted my heart.  He looks so sweetly at me and says, "Wow Mommy, You look pretty!" It is times like these that being a Mommy proves to be the absolute best thing in the world!

Our week away

  About 2 weeks ago Eric was once again setting out to work Epic in Oklahoma for a week, which was going to leave me and the kiddos home from Saturday - Thursday.  Now usually we would just stay home and play.....but being that it is SUMMER I thought when else is a better time to go to KC and the lake.  Our first trip was to see Sarah, Matt and the kids.  Even though no one really slept all that well we had so much fun playing in their backyard, going to the pool, going to the park and of coarse us mommies loved getting that evening chill/girl talk time in:)  Sarah had to work one morning so I experienced what life would be like with 4 kids under the age of 4! Wasn't too bad....      


   Then by Wedsnesday I think Eric was tired of hearing about how much fun we were having and he decided to leave a day early so we could head to lake for some family fun!  Lets just say it was a FABULOUS weekend.  We got there early Thursday morning and it is always so amazing how relaxing the lake can be.  We swam, fished, went on walks, went out in the boat and Collin got to go on his very first jet ski ride!  Here are some pics from this weekend.

Dancing Collin

Being home for the summer, and since it is often too hot to go out and get our energy out, we have been having lots of dance parties.  This morning, while I was still lounging around on the couch, Collin just started doing this dance.  The funny part about it is each time he alwasy started it the same and at the beginning was really into the moves!  Each time he would add a few new moves to it, but always kept the tap, tap, wiggle wiggle part at the beginning!
