July in Review

Here we are just a few days away from leaving Las Vegas. It has been a great summer vacation. We have been to Disneyland, Carlsbad's beaches, Kanab Utah's scenic mountains, Salt Lake, overnight fishing in Lake Mead, camping in the Searchlight Desert, and to the Whitney Ranch pool many many times! It's weird to think the first time we left to Virginia, Jackson could barely crawl. This time when we go back, he will start preschool and Sydney looks and acts more like a little girl now than a toddler. So in two more days we will drive for the last time accross the country to our Grundy Virginia home. We will return in a little less than a year and we'll be back for good!

A couple weeks ago Keresa asked Jackson her name. He said Keresa. For Dad's name he said Kah-may. Yesterday I asked him again, and he said for Mom, Keresa, and for Dad, his name is Honey.

I was eating some steak for breakfast. Jackson watched and when I was done, he ran and told his mom, "For breakfast Daddy ate mistake!"

In the book we read before bed the other night there is an owl whose house is in a tree. The kids were telling me what kinds of things must be in the owl house. Sydney said, "His owl couch, owl bed..." Jackson said, "Yeah, and his owl eye drops."

When they were driving me home from work, the kids told me all about their day. Jackson said, "And the baby had so much fun in Mommy's belly today! He was swimming all around and having SO MUCH FUN!"

Sydney said, "What is inside our heads?" Keresa said, "Our brains." Sydney said, "Then why do hairs grow out of Daddy's nose?"

Jackson and Keresa were talking about our trip to Lagoon. Jackson started arguing with her and said, "But I can't even say Lagoon... Oh wait, I said it!"

Keresa is feeling great. She is starting to feel a little sore by the end of the day, but other than that and the killer heat of Las Vegas, she is liking this pregnancy as much as a person CAN like a pregnancy.
