I LOVE THE SUMMER!!!

Bad boys bad boys whatcha gonna do?

On Thursday morning I came downstairs and noticed that there was a car sitting in front of our house. I saw that there was people sitting in the car so I assumed that they were waiting for someone. I didn't think too much about it. An hour later I noticed that they were still there. It looked like they were sleeping in the car. Another hour passed and they were still there. It was starting to make me nervous so I decided to call the police. I was a little bit nervous, but I looked up the number and called. I don't know what I thought was going to happen, but it was surprisingly easy. Ten minutes later a police car showed up. The cop took the driver out first and did all of the things that you see on TV. He made him put his hands on the hood of the car and spread his legs. The officer then patted him down. (All of this happened with me looking through a slit in the blinds and making the kids stay away from the windows.) I continued to watch as the officer did the same thing with the passenger and proceeded to administer all of the touch your nose with your finger etc. Then the officer searched the car and started pulling out stuff including a full open bottle of liquor. After about an hour and a half another adult (which turned out to be the driver's mom) came and got the kid and left. After it was all done the police officer came to the door and asked if I was the person that called. I said yes and he explained that the kids were probably sleeping it off. (Though why they parked out in the open in front of my house I don't know)

It was an exciting morning. While this was all going on the little neighbor girl came outside to see if Seth could come and out and play. She didn't make it as far as our house because when she saw the police officers she went in the house yelling that she wasn't coming down here because the police were arresting people. Her mom didn't believe her until she went to the window and saw the cops. She called me a few minutes later wondering what in the world was going on. We had to laugh because her little girl was worried that the police had come for us.

Life just has limitless experiences just waiting for us!!

4th of July

What is better than blowing things up? Nothing according to all of the little male people that live in my house. They started several nights before the 4th and continued until the very last minute of the 4th. We had friends over and lit off all of the "fun" stuff (anything that leaves the ground and then explodes) on Friday. On Saturday we went for a BBQ and smaller scale explosions to Steve's mom's house. All in all we had a busy, but great 4th.

Happy Birthday America!!!

Seth turned 4!!

So yes it was a month ago today, but I just have been behind. Seth turned 4 on June 1st. He was so excited to have his birthday and he had been telling me for months what he wanted (every commercial that came on brought on new excited shouts of MOMMY I want THAT for my birthday) He started out his birthday by going out to lunch with me and the little girl that I watch Lydia. We went to IHOP because I had a free "its your birthday" meal for him. He was so excited when the waitresses came out singing to him and gave him ice cream. He has the greatest reactions to things. He makes the excited face and will say things like "AWESOME" and "COOOOOL" and "WHOAAAA". We then took a trip to Walmart where I got him his new bike and he got to pick out yet another match box car. (Though you can't call them match box cars you must call them Hotwheels...he knows where to look to find the Hotwheels logo) When we got home and checked the mail there was a package from Aunt Tami. There was definitely a struggle trying to decide what we should do first ride our bike or open the package. That evening we had a green cake (food coloring is a wonderful thing) and ate green ice cream and opened some more presents. He was in hog heaven. It is great when they are little and it is still the simple things in life that make them happy. He told me that we all need to have more birthdays. He is also already telling people that he will have his 5 birthday next and will ride the bus. Life just keeps flying by.
