Last Night of VBS

Friday was the last night of our church's VBS over the life of Moses. I actually think Brock "got it." Every baby now at the house is baby Moses. Then today in the parking lot, a lady in the car next to us had a wrap on her head and Brock says, "Look Mama, Moses!" I was like, "Oh, yeah, that looks like Moses." So funny. They put on a little program of the songs they learned during the week. Of course in Brock's class of 2 and 3 year olds, they just stood there and looked precious while everyone else sang. It was so cute when they first took the stage, Brock's new buddy, Eli, gave him a great big hug and then they held hands through their whole performance! And, as a bonus, my parents and sister stopped by to see Brock "sing" his songs and before going home we all had cookies and ice cream! Yum, yum!

VBS - The Life of Moses

We started VBS tonight and it's over the life of Moses. Brock did really well and even got his picture taken with Moses! Hopefully I'll have more cute photo ops this week.

All-American Girl

My little All-American Sweetheart showing off her patriotic bikini, which was about to fall off her little bottom, and also sporting her little pony tail! Brock had to get in on the picture taking action with giving her a little hug. So sweet.

Yum, Yum, Yummy!

Swimmin' in the Kiddie Pool

Well, even though it wasn't all that hot outside, I decided to take the kids out and let them play in the kiddie pool. Brock hopped right in and Jillian just kind of stood there for a bit, not knowing what to think. I dropped her in and the girl stood there for the longest time. It was like she didn't know what to do or where to go. Luckily Moi bought them some pool toys so those kept them pretty entertained. Jillian figured out she could get in and out easily so she'd stand for awhile and then hop out. Brock figured out he could lean on the side of the pool and water would gush out. It was very full from the rain last night! I see many more fun days spent in the kiddie pool, that is if they don't put a hole in it first!

Eastern Illini's Family Night

Last night we went to Paxton for TJ's work's family night. TJ was there working and in charge of the bucket truck rides. Jillian got to go up but Brock was too fascinated with the bounce houses to want to go up with Dada. I think Jillian was a bit nervous at first going up, but she did great. The bounce house they had was an obstacle course where there were a few walls that you had to climb over. Brock was determined to get over the walls, with mama's help of course! I think I got more of a work-out than I've done in a long time! I forced Jillian in the other bounce house and she liked playing and jumping on the part just before you go in, but Brock was a jumping fool. The food was yummy and Brock even had an ice cream cone that he figured he'd better just eat the bottom part first, so as you can imagine, we had an ice cream mess all over his hand. I think we may go back again tonight since tonight is for the members which my parents are, I guess I'm a glutton for punishment.

Little Mommy & Dada

*Kiss*Kiss*

My Granny brought Brock & Jillian some goodies when she was here for Ashley's graduation. The baby doll carrier has been a hit. We went for a walk last night and Brock wanted to be sure to bring along the baby. I had to tell him that we'd take the baby next time. They are such a good little mommy and daddy!

Is It Ready Yet?

TJ helped me get the kids' 3-Ring Kiddie Pool up last night. Brock helped with the hose action. He just couldn't leave it in the pool, he had to hold it so it could make bubbles. Jillian, I can't tell ya how many times we thought she was going to do a nose dive into the water. They are just itching to get in it! Hopefully this weekend when it's warmer and no rain is in the forecast we'll be able to do some splishin' and some splashin'!

Just More Proof...

I brought Brock down shortly after getting Jillian up and ready for the day, and he plopped right down beside her on the couch for some Sesame Street action. They're my little cuddle bugs.

Applesauce Anyone?

I think he loves him some applesauce, what do you think?

Arthur's Strawberry Jam

We took the kids to Arthur on Saturday afternoon for their Strawberry Jam. They did have some fun inflatables that Brock thought were the nuts! Jillian on the other hand, not a fan. I did take her down the big slide twice, which I think she thought was fun, but Brock on the other hand just kept going up and down, up and down that slide. He was having a blast! I'm thankful the guy working let him just keep going and going. After playing we of course couldn't leave without a strawberry shake-up and a corn dog! It was a fun Saturday! Here's a super short video of Brock going down the slide.

Tuckered Out

This is what you get at 7:45 pm when you've been out and about all day and have not taken a nap...

They DO Love Each Other!!!

See...I told you that they can be sweet with each other!

LOVE/HATE Relationship

So, I thought I'd be "fun mom" and take the kids out with me while I ran a few errands. I wanted to take them to meijer to get a little swimming pool that I can put on our patio and get me a little beach chair so I can get some sun on my white legs! Well, we made it pretty well through the store, up until check out time. I thought I'd try to do the self-check out for a change and boy, was that a mistake. While checking out, Jillian managed to scratch the puddin' out of poor Brock's face. I guess she was ready to go! I didn't realize at the time how bad it was until we got out to the car. No wonder he was screaming bloody murder in the store. Some days they love each other, other days....well, not so much.
