A few other funnies - in the video, the videographer asked Brock how he proposed. When he said he wrote "Will you marry me?" with lipstick on the mirror, Mia said, "Daddy! We never, EVER write with lipstick on the mirror! Why would you do that?" She didn't let him live it down, mentioning it several more times this morning!! Then she said, "Mom, I'm going upstairs to get a skirt on my head." I was like, huh?? So she came down with a tulle skirt on her head with the front pulled over her face like a veil. Too funny, that one. :)
Brock's had this week off, so it's been awesome. We took the kids up to Chicago and planned on going to the aquarium. The line was pretty long, so we ended up at the Field Museum instead with the dinosaurs. They probably would have liked the aquarium better, but they still had fun. Then we spent the night at my Aunt Michele's and went to the Dunes the next day. Man did they have a good time!! I thought we were going to have to drag them off the beach when it was time to go home. They are at such great ages for doing fun things, it's really the first summer we've gotten to do a few things like this.
At the museum, I learned that some dinosaurs are called ‘therapods’ – I learned that from Mia! I looked it up, and she is right! Ha!
Good ol’ Lake Michigan
Building sand castles with Daddy
Their favorite things was running into the water with Daddy!
Drake loved throwing the sand in the water with his shovel
A few pictures of some other summer activities!! Getting ready to go to the pool with Nana and Papa
We pedaled around the canals with the kids in back! They loved it. Drake wore his goggles the whole time. I don’t know if he thought he was going to fall in or what!
Daddy and Mia hanging out with Mason
Mia and Mason – oh, how she loves her baby cousin. She says, “Mom, you’re gonna wanna get a picture of this!”
My little diva when we went blueberry picking
Ha! Drake picked a bunch of blueberries, but they ended up in his mouth instead of his carton – this was about 20 minutes into picking – notice his carton is still empty. He was eating them ALL
Crazy boy with mommy’s sunglasses
At the pool! Drake doesn’t want to leave :)
Mia and Mason
They love their goggles!
Mia telling a story while swimming in the backyard. With swimmies. And goggles. :)
They love picnics on the driveway
Sometimes I still laugh that I have a boy – messes are a part of our daily lives, he runs these cars all over the floor
Drake loves these broken binoculars! EVERY time we go to my parents’, he finds them
My dad and his grandkids!
A few other funnies I remembered – the other day we were driving, and Drake says, “Mom, why did you stop?” I told him, “Because we’re at a red light. Red means stop, green means go, and yellow means slow down.” Mia says, “Mom, yellow doesn’t mean slow down. It means ‘Proceed with caution.’” Oh. Ha!
The day we left from the beach, we stopped out to eat, and there weren’t many choices for the kids. We just decided to get them grilled cheese, which they rarely have. Drake kept saying, “I don’t want that!” I was like, “Buddy, you don’t even know what grilled cheese tastes like – you’ll like it.” He says, “I don’t want girl cheese, I want boy cheese!” Thankfully, he really liked his boy cheese. :)
Ok, one more and then I’m done. Brock and my dad went golfing this week, and Drake said, “Mom, I really want to golfing with Daddy and Papa.” I told him when he is older, he can go with them. He said, “Mom, widdle guys can do big fings, too.” I could just eat that little guy up. :)
Thanks for stopping by!! I’ll have some pictures soon of Brock and my little anniversary getaway to Chicago!!
