Get ready, Grampa!

My dad is coming to visit!!!  He'll arrive late Monday and we have been counting down sleeps excitedly ever since he booked the flight.  Last time he was here, the twins were this size:



Now they are this size:
So it's been a long time coming.  We'll see how long it takes for him to be wrapped around Miss' little finger. Maybe he'll break Grampa Randy's record of 1.06 seconds.  ;)

 the boys are beyond excited.  This morning I was still in bed and Dace was at the table eating his yogurt.  Zade came downstairs and the first thing Dace said was, " Zade, only 2 sleeps left now til we go get grampa!"  Gramma can't make this trip because of work and she will be deeply missed.  We hope to get them both down here for another visit in the fall.

Last FHE we made a list of things to do/ places to go/ things to eat while Grampa is here and this is the current list:
It's going to be a jam packed visit!  Is it monday yet????

More about Miss

We went from winter/spring to summer really quick, like almost overnight.  It hit the 70s and upped the humidity and I was so not prepared for it.  I have 1 pair of capris to wear.  I washed up Ammon's summer wardrobe - 23 pairs of shorts!!!!!!  Plus Tees etc.  Miss has nothing.  She had 1 summer dress that gramma (my mom) had brought down when the twins were born.  that was it!  Despite the lack of budget, I broke down and got her a couple things this past week.  1 tshirt was not going to cut it for very long.  It sure is more fun shopping for that little sweetie as apposed to shopping for myself.  As badly as I need clothes, I still don't want to buy anything until these last 5lbs are gone.  Anyway, here she is in a couple of her summer outfits....




I took the maxi dress back.  It was a 2T and super cute but it was too tight on her.  Which surprised me because she is still so teeny.  So once I put a tee under it, it would be way too snug.  I want to find her another one though.  Baby maxi dresses are adorable!

Miss cut molars this week.  That second picture is the day that was the worst for her.   She was not her usual self but she still endured.  

Lastly, last night I was sitting on Zade's bed comforting him after he got a big owwie in the bath.  He was wrapped in a towel crying on my lap.  Miss got out of the tub and came over to see what was wrong, standing on a book beside the bed, beside us.  Within a couple of seconds, she started peeing which always fascinates her when that happens because she never sees it or feels it on her legs.  I looked down and the book was Winnie the Pooh.  How fitting!  Miss peed on pooh!  I started laughing, Zade started laughing then nakie Ammie came over to see what was funny.  He then wanted to be funny too.  So he walked through the pee puddle and stood on Pooh too, laughing at himself and laughing with us!  Dad came to the rescue and cleaned it all up.  Sometimes you just gotta laugh through the chaos.

Gone Fishin'

The boys went fishing with Uncle Daniel today.  There is a small pond across from their house and they live a block away.  The boys had a blast!  Zade caught 2 and Dace caught one!  It's a new favorite hobby and I know a grampa or two who will be very proud.  These boys are hooked! ;)
