Never ending!

This weekend was so much fun! Saturday we picked our neighbor Jonell up from the airport in Jackson, about an hour and a half away. Since she came in around noon, we decided that it would be fun to take the kids to the zoo to see the animals. Christian and Brooklyn both loved the Elephants! We stood there and watched them for a good 10 minutes (not that they were moving that much, but the kids loved them). We hit up a Starbucks on the way back since there isn't one in Meridian! Yes, I know...it really sucks! I'm surviving though.

Sunday, Jonell rented one of the bouncy houses for the kids to play on for Jared's birthday party. Poor Christian was so afraid of it at first until I actually spent some time in it with just us and Brooklyn. Then he realized that it wasn't going to pop, so he relaxed a bit and actually started jumping. After a while, Jonell's friend Arron came over and played on it with Christian. Poor Arron was worn out by my little man after only about 15 minutes. He said that he was chasing Christian around the bouncy house the whole time...I told him that I figured. Christian loves being chased.

We won our game on Monday for volleyball. We played Security who only had 3 players that day, but won quite easily. So, now we're in regular season and our record is 2 - 1. We had practice yesterday and only 4 of us showed up. I was so worn out by the end, my legs were shaking. It was so much fun though. I dove for a ball at one point and got a floor burn on my side. Thanks a lot love handles, if I didn't have you, I wouldn't have gotten a floor burn! We have another game tonight...I think it's against the students from the NTTC...yes, Shane's work...and I'm playing for the Marines. Hopefully the only student that knows me won't tell the other players...not that they'll care. My play group moms tease me and tell me I'm a traitor. They're the only team that wanted spouses to play...and if NTTC had asked Shane, he probably wouldn't have thought that I wanted to play, so wouldn't have signed me up.

Some words to giggle about...Christian calls bananas "baminas," he used to say "stoo poo" for stupid and when he tells me that something is delicious, he says it's "awishus." Also, he sings the irreplacable song by Beyonce...you must not know 'bout me and to the "wef," to the "wef." His new favorite song is Sweet Escape by Gwen. He sings the part of the guy who's making the trumpet sound singing; "Oo-oo, Whee-oo." He's so cute, I just love him to pieces!

Anyway, that's about it for now. I'll post some more pictures of the babies.


He turned away from the camera, so I told him that I would take a picture of his rear end...so he turned around and smiled for me!


She likes to crawl into the cupboard next to the dishwasher...
