Riley Jo

 

Got to see Riley Jo yesterday. She is beautiful and a blessing from our God. Maurie and Joshua seemed to be doing well, as they were just released from the hospital yesterday. Prayers are for sleep, patience (with Riley and each other) and the ability to "soak up the moments."

They sure do go by fast!

Crazy Kylie!

 

Kylie's crazy face. Precious isn't it?

Kylie's Quotables

Had an interesting lunch with George and Alex Wilson(preaching minister of Portland CoC.) today Hope to begin some work with him in the Portland area - maybe I will learn something.

Now on with the real point of this blog:

1. Daddy, it is a BIG one! (Kylie while on the potty)
2. Can I have a S-N-A-C-K? (heard it 1,000 times if I have heard it once)
3. Daddy, you have a big face. (while getting ready for assembly Sunday morning)
4. OOOH - Daddy you have hair on your pickles. (anytime I am without a shirt)
5. Can I have a S-N-A-C-K? (oh did I already mention that one?)
6. Daddy, I think I need to watch AH SAMANI-A. (when she wants to watch the Lion King)
7. Not quite!!!! (when we say it is time for bed)
8. Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for mommy, daddy and Simba. (prayer time)
9. Will you tell me a story about Princess Skylie? (story time character - you know? Not Princess Kylie but Princess Skylie. Daddy is so smart.)
10. Did I just pass gas? I did! Am I stinky? I am. (you get the point)

There are so many - maybe I will start writing them down.

Softball Tourney

Well it is official - I am not 20 anymore. Walker and I played in a softball tourney today. Three games is all it took to wipe me out. I hit pretty well the first couple of games, but by the last one the heat and sun had done their damage. My tank was empty.

We played ok overall. The last game was the most interesting though. We played a pretty good team that acted like they were about 12. Mind you, these guys were my age and older, but I think softball was their sole reason to live. Humiliating people was the name of the game. I don't know - I just can't get there. I mean do these guys understand that they are playing "beer league" softball. They were pretty good, but come on. What causes you to act like that? I just can't understand. It was a good opportunity to "kill them with kindness." But we didn't even do a good job at that.

I must say, I was pretty excited that we got beat that last game. I am not sure what I would have done if we won.

Anyway, fun times and good exercise.

Family

Family left today for St. Louis. Emily is going to spend some time with her parents. She hasn't seen them in a while and misses them. They will be back end of this week.

It is storming here in Louisville at the moment which has killed my plans to get the yard mowed and trimmed (hence my blogging). There are some things that need fixin' around the house - so I am going to give that a go. Wish George was in town to keep me in check. I think I can handle these jobs though.

Taylorsville Lake

We spent the day on the lake with mom and dad. We were all pleasantly surprised with Taylorsville Lake. I hadn't heard much about it, so I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be a great little lake. There were no shortage of boats and wave runners out today. What can you expect on a 85 degree sunny Saturday in July?

We got to see most of the lake. The kids were well behaved and Kylie didn't pee in the boat this time. We definitely counted that as a small victory. Emily and I got to do some tubing - and I got to fling Emily off of it once. She was a real trooper and had a lot of fun.

I was also pleased with the distance. Took us about 35 minutes from our house. Hopefully mom and dad will make the trip again real soon (wink, wink).
