So we took our poor little child to Chuck E. Cheese...it used to be fun and exciting! Am had her 4th birthday party there and the kids were jacked about going. Now it's another story...our baby that has NO FEAR of anything. She head dives into her swimming pool and the bathtub and comes up laughing, she climbs ladders (by herself) to the tallest curly slide and goes down by herself (usually ending up backwards) but immediately wants to do it again, she says 'hi' to everyone we see...grocery store, park, walks, etc., and tries to kiss anyone who will pucker up! Not this time...there is something about a giant singing rat and his friends, and a clown pushing down on the other end of a see-saw that made her freeze and shake! Here, below, she is keeping a close eye on the clown that pushed on her see-saw...mind you, it's fiberglass.
Then she saw the pink horse following her and slowly melted down into a stiff, screaming mess.
Yet here she is, with her own pool that she dives in and out of, trying to put her little push toy in. She's out little She-ra!
She is also 'queen of the fits'. Here she is telling me 'no, no, no' and trying to escape up the stairs.
Here is our poor dog. Don't get me wrong, he loves being outside and basking in the sun. The poor guy has had such a hard transition with Maddy. He just doesn't like her, she stole his spotlight, his thunder, and being the main attraction in the family room. He whines, and shakes, and is a complete mess. He's gotten himself kicked out of 'Puppy Lounge'. If Dogmode every stopped letting him come stay, we would forever be stuck at home, or at least until we decide to find him another home. Most days I don't have the heart...then there are the times when you pick him up, because he doesn't obey well, to take him in, and he screaches like he's being tortured! Our neighbors prolly think he's being abused...and let me be honest...there are days when a swift kick in his hiney doesn't sound half bad...but, for now, he's the deranged, mentally unstable, toddler in our family.
This is one of those days when I am too tired to finish the day...oh wait, that's every day! Almost! Thank heavens for Unisom, Crystal Light energy and Amp!
Sort of out of place... On our way home from St George, we drove through Richfield where my grandma is buried. None of us had seen her headstone yet, and it was right before Memorial Day. Perfect timing... Not a day goes by when I don't think about her or miss her. She was the most angelic, most sweetest, most caring, most giving, most loving person I have ever known. I will never forget the weekend I stayed with her when grandpa had his hip surgery. She tried so hard to stay awake with me, she made her homemade custard, and we talked and laughed a whole lot. Then in the morning, she had to get to her hair appt (across the street), and she slowly got into her pathfinder and tore across that street and into their driveway like a NASCAR driver! That always makes me laugh. Love and miss you grandma!
Every day, well every day when it wasn't raining or cold, Dan takes her over to our very sweet neighbors house to use their swing, slide, and trampoline. She LOVES them. Here they are stomping back. I missed it with the camera, but she bent over to smell the purple flowers, then kissed them.
Yes, I do have another child. :) Ambree is busy with 2 jobs... Famous Footwear and Gymboree. Yes her working there has been a little hard on the wallet, but with the discount's, how could I NOT?? She's gearing up for Fall Semester at SLCC and getting used to having a car, and the added responsibilities and funds. Mom's purse strings are (almost) cut off, trying to get her used to the 'pay your bills first, then play...' rule. Almost set in...almost! Love you AM!!
