Slip n Slide


364, originally uploaded by megan bauer.

My mom's neighbor has a little boy who is two weeks younger then Emmett. He's been coming over to play and today he brought his slip n slide over. The kids had a great time, but it only took a few minutes before Eddie and my brother, Brian, decided they should give it a try. They ended up hooking two slip n slides together, so they could go farther and challenging each other to see who could get to the fence. They even took out a huge container of bubbles and poured in on themselves and the slip n slide, so they could slide farther. But the best part was when my mom decided to give it a try. Hysterical! Check out the videos.

My MOM!

Sick baby and Six Flags

We went to Six Flags today and had a wonderful time: our family, my mom, and my brother, Brian, and his girlfriend, Brianna (I'm going to see if I can post pictures tomorrow). The day was perfect...... 83 degrees and sunny. The boys had a super time (Emmett's fave ride: the log flume. Owen's fave: the waterslides). We spent the morning and evening doing rides and the afternoon in the attached waterpark. For some reason it seemed much cleaner and much nicer than I remembered. I thought Henry felt warm in the morn and he didn't want to nurse, but he was super happy and I didn't think much of it. He was absolutely perfect at the park. We didn't hear a peep out of him ALL DAY (and we were there from open to close), but he felt really warm when we got home. Sure enough, he was 103 degrees. UGH! Hopefully, this doesn't foil our plans at the lake on Thursday. He's already on antibiotics for an ear infection, so this must be viral. BUMMER!

We've arrived!

After 15 hours in the car, we've made it to E'ville safe and sound. It was actually our easiest trip to date. The boys were excellent! We didn't even open the DVD player and Henry was easily entertained and happy. Yeah! We did it in one day leaving at 10:30 AM and arriving at 2 AM. Piece of cake.
And, while Eddie was driving and I was trying to stay awake and keep him awake in the wee hours of the morn, I learned how to text. Wow! It's fun and potentially addicting. I also discovered that I can check my email and use the internet from my phone. Who knew?
We spent the day today swimming at Eric and Nicki's. Tomorrow is Six Flags. I'm going to see if I can download pics to the computer to share.

Happy Anniversary!

Today Eddie and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary!!! We even went out together ALONE! Our dear neighbors, The Hourihans, offered to keep the boys ALL NIGHT! So, we let them keep all of them while we went to dinner (and Target) and then we picked up Henry and Owen and Emmett are staying the night. They were so excited. And Mrs. Sue spoils them rotten :)! The only thing that might have made it a little better is if we weren't leaving for E'ville in the morning. We had to come home after dinner and get packed. Oh, and Eddie got me a love/anniversary charm for my charm bracelet. Here's to many more babe :)

Team work

The boys have been hard at work creating a "city" w/ their cars in our basement. They've spent hours down there at a time. It's been wonderful :). I worked last night and this morning I asked Owen and Emmett how they slept. Owen said, "well..fine. But I was really tired, and I couldn't fall asleep because Emmett wanted me to rub his back for him until he fell asleep." :)

Sick again!

Here's Henry a few days ago...when he was happier. He's getting a bit of an attitude and cries or screams if the boys take something from him or if they have something he wants. Check it out on the video. Of course, you can see why he's not crawling yet...he just makes a peep and the boys give him what he wants.
He has ear infections again. We go to the ENT tomorrow. He weighed 19 pounds 1 ounce today. Which is a one and a half pound weight gain in 6 weeks. Wow! I think it's because he hasn't been sick in 6 weeks, so he's been eating better. We're leaving in four days for E'ville. Hopefully, he's feeing better before then.

Soccer Camp

Owen went to a soccer camp this week run by the Baldwinsville Youth Soccer Association. He started out w/ his age group, but was moved up the first day to play w/ the 9,10, and 11 year olds. The coach of the camp called him Rooney the first time he met him. Owen thought it was great, because Wayne Rooney just happens to be one of his fave players. Friday, the last day, Owen was named Camper of the Week, the top prize. He was the only one who got the trophy, which he declared was the coolest trophy ever!
