So I just turned......old, and Gary got me my favorite birthday present EVER!! He found a trampoline at the DI and had it set up when I got home from work on Monday. I love it, my whole family gets on it and we wrestle around, watch lindsy try and run fast in a circle, watch the stars at night, hide from the dog when he's out and wanting to slobber on you, let Justin go outside and eat his apple on the tramp, it's got such endless possibliites!! :) Way to go Gary! I love you!!
My Justin
Every night we read Justin books, one book he loves the most is a Mercer Mayer book entitled "just a mess". In it there is a quote that talks about how messy his room is and how he asks his mom to help him clean it up, she says "you made the mess, you can clean it up". So today I am getting lunch ready and Justin is playing with the magnets on the fridge. He placed all his letters over the crack between the fridge and the freezer. I opened the fridge and they all burst off and shot around the kitchen. I yelled to Justin "you better come clean up this mess" and without missing a beat he replied " you made the mess, you can clean it up". ouch, quick kid.
Justin was being naughty tonight and got some time out. I went to talk with him and thought i'd throw some motivation his way. I asked him "Do you know who is coming to our house in 9 days?" he had no clue... "someone with a long white beard"..."BOYD!!!" I was talking about Santa and he thought it was his Uncle Boyd who usually sports a full beard. ha ha h!!!
Christmas time!
It is coming...I thought i was ready but I was wrong!! I also don't know how to handle to boy who's santa list changes daily.
Lindsy
She is getting so big! The usual position I find her in is clinging to her high chair tray holding on with all her might and her feet are on the chair. The whole tray could pop off and she would go flying, it makes me so nervous!
Her first true sentence was spoken last week when she said "Justin is being mean to me". I guess we say what we know. :)

Hooray for the trampoline! And Happy Birthday last month... I meant to call you, but life happened... Your kids make me laugh! Love it! Love you!
Becki,
That is a great first sentence from Lindsy. I'm loving Mom and Dad's blog, too - thanks for making it for them!
Somehow I missed this post... It was a nice surprise to find something new to read :) I love your family! Especially your two children, and I'm sure Santa will be a big hit no matter what presents he brings.
Fun gift. I didn't know it was your birthday. Happy late birthday.
I just love your kids. They are so cute, and so good. Such a great family!!
I've been told that before, that they didn't make the mess so 'the person who made the mess, really should clean it up'. I miss seeing you, after the holidays we should get together for lunch.
A tramp!! just like the one you had! we watched stars on it at night too, remember? and get eaten alive by mosquitos!!
Uncle Boyd?? I thought you were talking about MY visit.....
That is the best pic. of you. Old??? We are not old! Are we? We were watching College ball the other night, and I told Joe we were older than every one of the players...he reminded me we have been for almost 10 years. Hey...I like being out of touch.
Love that picture of you! If I remember right you are a trampoline gymnast extraordinaire! We will have to come over and jump soon!
