Just a Few Things

 There is a cute little thing that Lily says, that I wanted to blog about before I forgot. Whenever 'her' is supposed to be used in a sentence, she says 'she's'. So if she wanted to go to her friend's house she would say "Can I go to she's house?" It's so precious. I love when kids are little and say those cute little things. Sweet girl!
 Sara got her second bottom tooth. YAY! I just noticed it on Sunday. She hasn't been fussy or feverish or any of the other tell-tell signs of teething. I literally just noticed as I was removing yet another object out of her mouth. I have to quickly tell you how much she loved Popsicles. She kind of sticks her tongue out and tries to lick it before you can even get it into her mouth. She's so stinkin' cute.
Adam has a new saying I wanted to tell all of you about. Whenever he doesn't like whatever you've just told him, he says "Mom, that's just plain old rude!" Now most of the time I have to contain myself from laughing but sometimes it he says it in the middle of 'negotiation'. That is where he uses every argument possible to win his case. Anyway, I thought it was funny and wanted to share it with everyone.

Sara's Clappin' To NKOTB

 Sara learned to clap and mimic a clap on Friday. The Today Show was on the TV and Sara learned to clap. She copied the audience, who were, for some reason, clapping to and excited to see New Kids on the Block. Sara started clapping and enjoyed the excitement because she sat there forever, just clappin'. Now when you clap, she claps too. So cute. The next picture shows what a'studier' she is. She tries to figure out everything. She's by far the most content baby we've had. When she's board, she simply moves on the something else. You rarely hear her fuss, but we do have to go looking for her once in a while. We usually find her under the table, munching on Cheerios. Told you she's a smart girl.
 Saturday, Arlene and her kids came over. She brought with her, her 13 year old named Kodee, a 10 year old named Konnor, and a 3 year old named Kamryn. All the kids that were here and the kids around the neighborhood had a squirt gun fight. (That's right, it was warm enough for a water fight, YEY!!!!) Arlene and I hung out all day and had a BBQ in the evening. It was so fun to just hand out and not have an agenda.
 I wanted to show you what Sara does when she sees a camera. She squints and closes her eyes. It's amazing how many pictures I take just to get one shot. She's so funny, plus look at her trying to pull herself up again. Stinker. You can almost see how red her hair is in this shot. We also found a freckle on her leg. That's a common thing with redheads. We have freckles in places where the sun has never seen. My little Sara has yet to be out in the sun, mostly because we haven't seen it much, but also because she is white as a ghost and will probably sunburn in front of the TV.
 Now to my other kids' whiteness. Adam was slathered in sunscreen, well almost, you can see where the sunscreen was rubbed to, and more importantly, where was missed. It's almost like someone had a hand full of sunscreen and touched his shoulder. Spencer has one similar to it, but not quite as prominent. Both of the have weird and tiny sunburns on there shoulders. My poor, ghostly white, children.
