Sleep-over

Everyone decided they wanted to sleep together on the hide-a-bed! And by 'everyone' I really mean Kiera! Grandpa told them that the bed could only hold two kids (hinting that Kiera and Isley were supposed to stay in the RV with them), so Kiera said, "Oh, that means that me and Reilly can sleep there!" She's such a cutie!!

It took almost long enough to take the picture and walk away when this happened...

They had a tiring day of fun! :)

Wisconsin Dells

On vacation, what's the BEST way to start the day of fun?! Did you say, "Listen to Sean scream!"? Well, you would've been in luck today, because that's just what happened! When we got to Mount Olympus, we hit the water park. They had the coolest looking slides outside... I say 'looking' because we couldn't ride them. This is how Sean took it...

Reilly was tall enough to go on it.... (I know I could've cropped the photo to see her better, but this shows you how huge the slide was compared to her small self.)
But after sitting down ... she decided that it was too much and quickly got out of there!

Since no one else was jumping at the chance to drown... I mean, slide, we went to the indoor water park. It was the coolest thing! It had a kids area that had a few small slides and a shallow pool for them to swim in. But the best part were the slides that we could take inner-tubes down. ... What's with the picture of Sean crying again, you might ask... well, this time he COULD ride the rides, but it wasn't his turn... :( :( :(

Once he got his turn... (I know the picture sucks... don't tell me about it, tell the STUPID camera!)

He was happy as a clam!

Well, he was happy until we had to leave and get dinner at a resturant he didn't pick! And so goes Sean's life...

Senior Moment

It took alllll day, but Phil finally got Judy on a ride! She's was leary about leaving three kids with me, but managed to for just one short ride.


They had a rough landing... resulting in Judy getting launched out of the floatation device. What you can't tell from this picture is that when she was still under water and trying to get up, the floaty floated right over her and she was unable to get out of the water.

So, Phil did the only realistic thing to do... He laughed at her!

Man, that was fun!!

Can't get enough of that soup!

I have been a huge fan of a certain reality clip show from it's very start. I'm talking, of course, about Talk Soup (or 'The Soup' in it's revamped form). From Greg Kinear to Joel McHale, the idea of the show hasn't changed. Recap the week's reality shows high points (or low points) with comedy. Through sketches put together from the interns on staff and guest appearances by the very reality show celebrities, the show has maintained it's quirky stabs at the way our television seems to be headed!

Well, I have to say that I am intensely offended by Fox Reality's newest lame attempt to be a regularly watched channel... on basic cable... Reality Binge is a blatant rip-off of The Soup! Even the stupid host has way too many Joel McHale-isms! Fox needs to get more creative... this is not the first thing they've ripped off and I'm sure, in their desperation to stay 'on top,' it won't be their last!

So, my friends, if you're looking for a humorous reality clip show, don't waste your time; instead, turn back to The Soup! It's better than ever!!! In the words of John Henson, the second host of Talk Soup, "It looks like soup, it tastes like soup, but it ain't soup!"

Got favs?

Just to clear things up here... Sean has wound up on my blog considerably more than Reilly; yes. However, this doesn't mean anything more than he's the squeaky wheel! He's not the favorite... they both have strengths and weaknesses; they both are favorites for a variety of differences!!
Here are their top 5 strengths ... no weaknesses because that's just mean!

Reilly #5 - She's the most helpful around the house. She cleans really well for a 5 year old!
Sean #5 - He's super entertaining; mad or happy, it doesn't matter!

Reilly #4 - She's easy going. She goes with the flow - even if she doesn't really want to.
Sean #4 - He knows what he wants and isn't afraid to fight for it.

Reilly #3 - She can make a friend anywhere she goes! Wish I could do that!
Sean #3 - He's my buddy. No matter who is around, he'll always cuddle with me.

Reilly #2 - She's exactly like her daddy! It's so cute that they have similar quirks!
Sean #2 - He learns so quickly and especially on his own... I've got to add pics of him and his violin... all self-taught (almost)!!

Reilly #1 - She can do a backward somersault on the trampoline! (That's what she thinks is the coolest thing about her.)
Sean #1 - He's such a boy!! He loves camping, playing with cars, riding the 4-wheeler, wrestling with the dog, etc. He's so fun to play with!

I'm bipolar... no, I'm not!

Funniest video EVER!!

Stop telling me!

Cranky-Sean had a hard day of whinning and playing... also, I taught him to say, "I'm bipolar... No, I'm not!" It's hilarious! Anyway, Peyton and I were trying to get him to say or do something - I can't remember what - and this is what he said back! Hahahah!
