Daddy's Birthday

We had such a fun time getting ready for Daddy's birthday.  I took the kids shopping so they could pick out their own gift for Dad.  Donnie was easy, but Cadynce just couldn't think of anything good enough.  We were brain storming on what Dad likes and all she could come up with was "her", coffee and swimming.  When we got home Cadynce ran for the wrapping paper and began wrapping all his gifts and put them all safely in her bedroom.  They helped me make a dirt cake which was a lot of fun for everyone.  I have a couple of very good oreo smashers.

On the morning of Dad's birthday, Cadynce ran out of her room asking if she could get the presents out.  Daddy opened his gift from the kids.  Donnie picked out a football that we can play with at the pool.  Cadynce helped pick the one that matches his swim shorts!  Cadynce made a cd filled with their favorite music so he can listen to on his way to work.  They had so much fun watching him open their gifts.  They both made cards and Cadynce had me write on the inside, "My heart will never stop loving you Dad."

When Dad got home from work we went to Bigz to eat and play.  After dinner we went to the pool for a late night swim and then ended the evening with dirt cake.  What a fun day we had.  View Album for more pictures.

Breakfast and a Movie

A couple of weeks ago Don mentioned the name Tarzan to the kids and they wanted to know who Tarzan was.  They began watching little movie clips on the computer before bedtime each night.  It turned into an obsession.  Last Friday, we tried to find the movie and everyone was sold out.  I called everyone and found one Wal-mart that had a few left but it was not close to us.  That night was "kids night out" at the church, so Don and I went and bought the movie, did a little shopping, had dinner, and then picked up the kids.  They were dying to know if we found it and when they could watch it.  We told them they could watch it first thing in the morning.  As expected, Cadynce came barreling in our room remembering what we had promised the night before.  So, we all got out of bed and we turned it into a "Breakfast and a Movie" morning.  I made pancakes and set up TV trays for the kids to enjoy while watching Tarzan.  They loved it!  They can't stop talking about Tarzan, and often run around the house pretending to be Tarzan.  View Album for more pictures.

Our Summer

We haven't had a whole lot to blog about lately.  It's been at least 100 degrees everyday so we go to the pool ev-er-y day!!!  Sometimes twice a day.  We have two little fish, and they are totally crazy at the pool.  They are constantly trying new things, and Donnie can now come up to take a breath and then continue swimming to his destination.  Don and I even get to enjoy a little time in the lounge chairs while we watch our fish swim around.  View Album for more pictures.
