Memorial day

Jon stayed home to work, and I took the children to the Day family Memorial Day BBQ. I LOVE family. Blood, not blood. Family is family. I love that the Day family feels the same, and we get to do so many fun family things together.

Jan (For those who don’t know, Jan is the cousins Grandma.) comforting Regan after I dunked him in the pool. He was NOT happy with me for a bit.

Kaylee seems to be over her water phobia. I am so happy for her. She actually had FUN in the pool this time!

Shannon is the baby swimming whisperer. She had Kaylee swimming all over and jumping in like a pro in no time.

Shannon telling Kaylee that she is doing great!

Regan had a love hate relationship with the pool today.

He hated.

And then he LOVED.

Uncle Dwayne swam him all over the pool.

I love how fearless Cassie is.

Hoping everyone else had a lovely Memorial Day.

Kayleeism

3:30 AM-

Kaylee came into our room and thumped a book angrily down next to my head. “Mom! We both put on our CRAZY pants and forgot to read the princess book, and now it’s TOO late!” I could see she was fighting the tears.

Good thing I was WIDE awake having a bought of insomnia myself. I laughed so hard, then pulled her into bed with me and read her 11 pages of the Ordinary Princess. After that she happily went back to her room and passed out.

Jon was less than pleased, “Why are my girls awake? It’s 3:30 in the morning!” He promptly rolled over and passed out. 😉

I highly recommend this book. It’s lovely. I have read it to Kaylee several times over the years. This is the first reading that she is getting WAY into it. I am loving that she is able to visualize the stories and doesn’t need picture books every time we read.

Seriously though, I LOVE this book. And I love my little fellow insomniac so much!

Fathers and Sons

This last Friday was our wards Fathers and Sons camp-out. As usual the boys were pretty excited for it. Jon is ready to buy a new sleeping bag. He said they froze. I guess Regan didn’t want to sleep in his (his is awesome), and Jon’s just didn’t cut it. Jon told me that Regan didn’t want to change into jammies because it was cold and he didn’t want to get undressed. Regan also didn’t want to sit by the fire, but decided that the fire was okay because it kept him warm.

I asked Regan after giving him a giant hug and kiss when they got back home if he had fun.
“Ya! Just the boys NOT the girls!” He hears the opposite a lot from Kaylee, and was really excited to turn that phrase around on her.
And then a bout a half hour later, “Mom, I peed on the grass!”
Guess that’s all a little man needs from a camp-out. No girls and the freedom to pee anywhere.
