1st Lagoon Trip

We took Sawyer to Lagoon for the first time today! It wasn't as good as I was expecting but we still had fun. We went with Kade and Elisa and their baby Kole. We headed to Lagoon-A-Beach first thing and it was so nice. We stayed there for a few hours then headed to the rides. The first ride we tried was Puff the magic dragon! I waited in that line for probably 45 minutes. The guy who was running the ride was an idiot. Sorry, that is rude but its true. Ask anyone! Anyway, we got on the ride and he did pretty good. He was kinda scared and did some whining but he did alright. We took him to ride on the little airplanes with Kole and he HATED it! He was violent!! Poor kid. We took him on the carousel and he did ok on that. We wanted to take him on the train to see the animals but he zonked. I mean he was OUT!

Zonked Boy!

He is going to sleep pretty well tonight!!

Boondocks

Friday night was a blast! We went on a double date with my great friend Kelli and her hubby Josh to Boondocks. We did the go carts (Brandon slaughtered us all) and then we decided to do the bumper boats since I had never been on them. I was not prepared to get soaked like we did! I had actually tried doing my hair for the first time in at least a week and by the time we got off I was drenched and all my make up was pretty much gone! Here we are after the boats... look at the guys pants! Drenched! It was so fun though! Next time.... I will wear waterproof mascara!

After we played around in Boondocks for a while we headed to DQ for some Blizzards and fries! Healthy I know. Sooooo good though! :)

I love this girl! Kell you rock! :)

One Of Those Nights

I hate those nights when you just can't sleep. Last night was one of those nights for me. Brandon stayed up playing a game and normally I can fall asleep alone but not last night. I waited and waited for him then when he did come to bed Taya needed to go outside. Then she kept me up cause she needed water, and I heard air planes all night, and the baby woke up a few times (thankfully went back to sleep without needing me). Every sound in my house kept me awake. I was way tired but couldn't get my stupid brain to shut down. I probably only got about 2 hours of sleep and that is not in a row. Then I got up at 4:30 to exercise. Agony. I wanted to cry. I had taken 4 days off and eaten like crap so exercising was very hard. If I hadn't had Tia there to motivate me I probably would have just called it quits and gone home 15 minutes into exercising. I cannot take a ton of days off like that. It kills me.

Soggy Bottom Boy

Sawyer played in his little pool with a regualr diaper on and this is what he looked like...

Look at all that junk, all that junk inside his trunk! lol Regular diapers + water = flooded diaper! ha!

I am thinking this pools is now a little too small for him. Guess its time to upgrade at least a little bit!

Gardner Village Petting Zoo

Went to Gardner Village and had a WILD time at the petting zoo. Ok, so adding that wild was a little lame. We did have a great time though. Brandon took the day off so we headed down there after I was done with my gma and pet some animals! Sawyer absolutely loved it! I was a little nervous cause really you never know how animals are going to react but Sawyer had no fear! And there was this HUGE, GIGANTIC, HUGERIFIC pig there! He was probably over 700 lbs and about 30 of Sawyer! lol It was awesome!

Father's Day @ The Cabin

We had a great Father's Day weekend at the cabin. We did some fun rides, found rocks, watched the birdies, squirels, and chipmunks! It was nice and relaxing.On one of our new rides the men did manage to find snow and get stuck in it..... (picture below) Men! lol

Making It Through This Hard Time

Its been 6 months..... At times it feels like 6 years. Others times it feels like only 6 days. I think about my Dad daily. This Father's Day is going to be severely hard. This will be the 1st Father's Day without him. I remember complaining about having to go see my dad on Father's Day but now.... I wish I still had that chance. Its heart wrenching to have that kind of regret. I wish I would have done things different. I wish I could go back and cherish those special holidays. Why did I take those things for granted? I never thought I would lose him so soon.
Today, I am sending a prayer that will hopefully reach through the veil and to my dad....
Dad, I love you. I miss you. I am sorry I was a rotten daughter. I wish I could take back the times I hurt you. I wish I spent more time with you. I wish I could be held in your strong, comforting embrace one last time. Please forgive me..... for everything. I will always be your little girl. I look forward to seeing you again. Until that day.... I love you.

Pool Fun

Went to my neighbor's house yesterday with Sawyer and played in their pool! The two kids had such a good time! They were so darling together and played really well! I love play dates!
It was so cute to watch Tabitha helping Sawyer into the pool and always wanting to hold his hand or hug him! She even tried sitting on his lap! Adorable!
