Happy Friday!

Today is Jason's last day of concrete! He has been doing this for about 12 years now and is now off to be a high school math teacher. We are excited for these next few busy weeks as we pack everything up and head down to Colon to start his huge career change.
As the girls and I were driving home yesterday we saw a Burgess Concrete truck drive by us, I mentioned that it was Daddy's work truck. She was very curious about this and wanted to know if Dad was in there. I said, "No, they dropped him off already at his truck, he is now home." She then asked, "Daddy work with Darrin and Bennett?" I said, "Nope, just his worker friends." Well she really wanted names so I mentioned a few of their names, one of which is named BJ. "Daddy work with Babybop and Barney too?" (For those that aren't familiar with Barney, BJ is a character on that show) I wasn't too sure how to answer that one, so I just said, "BJ is Daddy's worker friend." Somehow she thought these characters were then going to be at our house when we got home. As we pulled in at home finally, she was in tears that none of her favorite Barney characters were at her house to play. It was quite sad, yet hard not to laugh. The things she comes up with at this age......

Kels thinking she's cool like her big sister, playing in the tent.

"Hey Sister, do you see me?"

I'll try again and get your attention.

Learning to sit like a big girl!

birth certificate, beach, block party, and bacteria

Today was a jam packed day. Started off with going to get Kelsey's birth certificate, then headed off to the beach with Brenda. We decided to try Tunnel Park this time so we didn't have to pay to get in. We parked across the street and walked. I carried Kelsey in her carrier, fold up tent, cooler, diaper bag, and bag full of beach toys. Brenda had her hands full with holding Macey's hand as we crossed, her bags, fold up bouncey seat and two chairs. We never realized how steep and big the hill was to make it to the beach area, oh my. (I think next time Bren, we should just pay the $4 or go to the neighbors pool) We got settled, and everything went great for awhile. Kelsey a happy camper sitting in her tent in the bouncey seat watching everything going. Mace snacked and played with toys for awhile. Then the whinning began. She hated the sand on her hands, but wouldn't go NEAR the water to wash them off. So I ran back and forth to get small bucket fulls of water to pour onto her hands. We made it about an hour and a half and had to go. She wanted to go bye bye. We even had to say no to the swings because of too much whinning :( Good thing for naps, they make her a MUCH happier camper. The rest of the day she was a different child, much happier :) We ordered Sluggos pizza at dad's and then headed off to First Church's Block Party. My aunt Rachel was in charge of this one and it was themed Fiesta Party. Needless to say we had a good time, we got there when it started and shut the place down after 8:30pm. Mace had fun getting candy from the pinata, searching for money in sawdust, eating popcicles and doing the cookie walk. We're now home, both girls went to bed super late (9:30 and 10pm) and we now have a guy here trying to treat our water for bacteria. We had to get it tested to sell the house and we already bleached out the well and killed our grass from it and we STILL had bacteria so we now have a specialist here trying to get rid of it for us now. Jason just told me the water is now shut off so his chemicals can do their thing. Let's hope this works! Who knows how long we've been taking in bacteria, sorry girls. Hope you turn out okay :) Jason just told me he hasn't even eaten dinner all night and it's 10:30pm now. I better go help him find something. I'll post recent pictures tomorrow sometime.

Kelsey's big day!

Today was Kelsey's big day! She was baptized this morning and we had many friends and family there to witness this celebration. Kelsey didn't mind the water on her forehead one bit and watched happily as everything happened. Mace was a bit hesitant about going up on stage, so blankie came along. And as you can see from the picture, she was thinking, "Don't you dare touch me!" Maybe she remembers back to her baptism, when she cried through it all :) Afterwards we headed to the park for some good food and a Cosco cake. It was a fun day!

Annabelle, Bennett, and Macey enjoying their food for about 2 minutes, before going off to play.

Annabelle still loves Kelsey!

ps. We've put an offer on a house down in Colon, hopefully it gets all settled here soon! That will be a whole other post though!
