Lunch Time

Saki has always been a pretty good eater (which you would not be able to tell by his size). While we were at the lake though, his lunch consisted of a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Well, about a third of a sandwich, and oreos. Every time I would try to give him a healthier choice of food, he would come back to me with another oreo cookie. I wonder who kept giving them to him? I guess that's why he loves his daddy so much :)

A Day at the Lake

I guess it wasn't really a lake...but we went to Jensen's Grove with my sister and her family on Saturday afternoon because it was so warm and sunny. We packed a lunch and ended up having a lot of fun. It was nice because Ife wasn't working and it was a fun family day. Saki absolutely loved playing in the sand. I didn't think that he would go in the water because it was pretty cold, but he loved it. Whenever the little waves came in from the boats, he wasn't quite sure what to do. He kept picking up the rocks and then turning to show us what he found.

Here's Saki with two of his cousins - Madison and Regan.

It didn't take long before I had to put a hat and t-shirt on Saki. It was 90 degrees. I always worry about him burning because he is so fair.After a while he decided the water was too cold and thought it was better to sit on Madison's lap so he wouldn't keep getting hit by the waves. Here is Saki with daddy. He did pretty good not eating the sand until Ife started burying him in it. Cute little toes.

Sisters Party

I know my sister Hope already blogged about this, but I thought I would add some information about our yearly sisters party. This is one of the best weekends of the year and I definitely look forward to it every year. My sisters and sisters-in-laws get together one time a year - without any kids - to just hang out and be girls. Anyway, this year we went to Logan and on Friday night we went to the play Beauty and the Beast. It was really good and fun to get out and not have to worry about crying kids. Of course, we stayed up all night talking, which is really what the sisters party entails. We just tell stories about childhood and our crazy lives. Anyway, Saturday we did what we do best...sat around and ate really good food and talked. Rosetta let everyone choose to have either a pedicure or a hair highlight from her. Needless to say, she was busy giving service to everyone the entire weekend. I chose a hair highlight, but here is a picture of her giving Kristy a pedicure.

We also spent hours...maybe 8 or 10...maybe even more...making bows and headbands. Okay, this was really fun for the first few hours because my sisters are so crafty and I am seriously amazed at what they can do, but come on hours and hours. Anyway, everyone benefited from this service except me and Camille because we obviously have no girls. Of course, everyone said we could make stuff for gifts etc., but really, those things were just too cute to give away. I would have wanted to keep them. That night we got dressed, after an entire day of staying in our pajamas (of course who wouldn't want to stay in their pj's on their time away from everything), and went to dinner. It was delightful. Anyway, here is a picture of all of us before dinner.

That night we stayed up way too late again. How much fun though it was to talk about everything that has been going on. On Sunday, we ate, talked and headed back home. I got car sick on the ride home. Wow, that hasn't happened to me since I was a kid. Anyway, sorry Camille, Cindy, Tawny and Bethany. Well, I guess I'll sum this up by saying how awesome my sisters are and how lucky my two brothers are to have Angie and Bethany as their wives. They fit in perfectly with the family. I don't know what I would do without these wonderful women in my life.
