Well?

What do you think about the new blog? It's no secret that I like the color red. It's my favorite along with green. Yes, I know, Christmas colors. I found the new template on the blog and changed it, but you could still see the daisies showing through from my old blog. I asked Kevin for help. He took over and fiddled with it. I got in the shower. I got out of the shower. He was still fiddling with it. I asked him if he googled "how to get rid of the cutest blog on the block template." He brought up another screen, read the directions, and it was gone in less than five minutes. Isn't that funny? I'm sure Kevin will have a comment about this, but I thought it was funny. Let me know how you like it.

Fun Games With Futon Cushions

Yes, that's the title. Kaelyn's futon from Ikea had a separate head cushion that came off. Since it's not currently with the futon, it's being played with. Normally it's a plank or a big sword, but for these videos, it's a cushion.













Crazy kids + crazy dad = great blog.

The Town Carnival

We decided to take the kids to the town carnival today. It was because it was about 70 degrees here today, and the idea of not sweating and carrying kids appealed to us. Kaelyn wasn't there with us because she had homework to do. AND...I BROUGHT MY CAMERA!!!!!!


Rory on the worm something that Logan didn't want to go on.

Waiting in line for the big slides that Logan didn't want to go on. Kevin was going to bring Marley, but they wouldn't let him sit Marley on his lap. Have you seen these slides? Marley ended up not going on.




That's why Marley didn't go on. They wanted her on a burlap sack in the middle lane with Kevin in one of the side lanes "holding" her. What are they smoking?

This was the alligator ride that Logan was waiting through everything else to go on. Then he got there and I don't think it was what he expected.

Then he warmed up a little.

Marley did not like this idea of Rory and Logan going on rides and her not getting to do anything. So...we went to play games.

This is the duck game...and a long story. You pick a duck, and it says "S" for small,"M" for medium, and "L" for large. See the toys behind? They're on three levels...small, medium, and large. How did you know? Rory picked a small, Marley picked a small, and Logan picked a medium. The lady acted like he just solved world hunger. "Oh my gosh you got an M!!!!!" Logan picked a light toy that he can't have while he sleeps. Marley got a little stuffed animal and Rory got a stick that makes noise when you turn it upside down and right side up. The lady said that if we came back, they could trade in those toys and get an upgrade. We went back for the last game of the evening at 7p. Rory got a small, Marley didn't play again, and Logan got a large. Well, you can imagine the lady's surprise to that. Rory traded in her stick for a medium toy since she got two smalls. She wanted a black and white striped tiger. Logan wanted to keep his light toy (this was before he knew he wouldn't be able to have it in his room) and got a toy car, which was on the large level. Walking back to the car immediately after that, Rory was upset because she no longer wanted her tiger. She wanted the noise stick back. Go figure! It must have been hard watching Logan get two bigger prizes than she did. We tried to talk about it, but you know Rory. I had Kevin take her back to the booth and get her noise stick back and another small toy. She came back with her noise stick and the black and white tiger. God bless that game runner. The end.


We were going to take the kids on this ride. No one else was in line. Kevin and I were discussing who was going to take Marley. The ride runner told me to park the stroller in the gate and get on the ride for free because he couldn't stand to see the family broken up. So Kevin and I jumped in the car with Marley with Logan and Rory behind us. You can see Logan really well with this picture. I was trying to take a picture of us all riding but it didn't go so well.
I didn't think this was too bad.

Next we moved on to a ride all three could go on together.

I went on these spinning dragons with the kids. Kevin was in charge of the pictures. I yelled at Rory the whole time we were waiting to go that she was not allowed to spin us fast.

This is Marley sticking to my side because we were spinning so fast.
What do you mean it doesn't look like Rory's spinning the thing?

Ok, so maybe I spun us a little fast. They loved it though...even though it doesn't look like it. all in all it went well. We missed Kaelyn, but we had fun. Here's a pic of the troops with their winnings.

For the queasy or weak of stomach, please do not play these videos...Nana. :)




Oh guys! I had three videos to load and the other two kept coming up with errors. Now I don't have a full blog. Sorry...but I hope you liked the Marley one! Kevin thought it was hilarious. I knew better than to worry. Hopefully tomorrow will post the other ones.

More Marley Love...

While we're on the subject of Marley lovin', let's turn the table to Logan, Marley's sidekick. Logan is Marley's side kick because Rory would go off to school twice a week, and it was just us three. They have a love/hate relationship most of the time. Logan doesn't understand that she's only 21 months and Marley doesn't understand that she's only 21 months. It's a running theme with my kids. Here are some lovable moments.
You know how in the movie Oceans 11, Brad Pitt's character was always eating or drinking? This is how I view Marley. In almost every picture she's always eating or drinking. Anyway, lovely moments from brother and sister. I better hold onto these pics for later.

Two for Two!

  I made it back, and it wasn't that long!  Continuing on with the pic collage of 2026.  Here we roll... January This guy's birthday...
