Summer fun, and family visits!

Wow, it's been a while since Mommy has updated our blog. Geesh! Although in all fairness to her, we have been pretty busy. We've been enjoying the summer now that it has finnally arrived. We've been spending our days splashing around in the kiddie pool, or going up to comet pond. Also we've had family in from out of town, and Daddy and Uncle Rick have been taking Collin fishing. Here are some pics of what we've been up to the last few weeks!

I got a fishing rod for my birthday from my Auntie Missy, and Uncle Mike and I've been asking and asking Daddy to take me fishing. Finally a few weeks ago he and Uncle Rick got some poles and their licences and took me. I loved it! It was a relaxing day just sitting by the water with the guys!
I was the only one who caught a fish! It might not have been a big fish, but a fish non the less!

On Thursday July 23rd Mommy loaded us into van and said that we were gonna go see our Matante Simone, Cousin Susan, and Cousin Roy! Now seeing as we had NEVER met him we had no idea what to expect..although mommy did tell us that he was a little boy and the same age as Kylie. We were so excited...especially Collin who is pretty convinced that he has no boy cousins. We got there and at first both Collin and Roy were a bit shy with each other, but Mommy left the boys to it. With in minuets they were getting along and playing like old pals! Matante Simone filled up the kiddie pool, and since we didn't have our suits with us we all just went out in our undies. We had a great time! Just splashing around and playing with our cousin.

Wed. July 29th was the day I had been dreading for weeks. My surgery day. If you don't know, I had a bump on my right eye. Mommy said it's called a cyst. What ever it's called the Dr's said it had to come off since it was growing so fast, and that meant having surgery. I was NOT happy. Anyway, Mommy and Daddy woke us all up very early that morning. What they were doing up at 5:15 am is beyond me..although they said they hadn't slept at all that night. Anyway, they packed us up and dropped Kylie and Aiden off at Auntie Missy's and we headed to the hospital. I was feeling pretty nervous and was very tired, hungry and thirsty. Mommy said I couldn't have anything to eat or drink till my surgery was done. Now that made me MAD! Anyway, while I waited for the nurses to call my name I did get to play on the computer in the hosptial..so that was sort of fun. Then they called my name and we went back to a room where Dr. Wiesburg came to talk to us..you know what, he wore his PJ's to work. Mommy said they were really surgical scrubs, but they looked an aweful lot like PJ's to me. The Dr's said that mommy or Daddy could come back with me till I fell asleep. They later decided that it would be best if Daddy went since Mommy had a baby in her belly. So they gave Daddy the craziest looking outfit I've ever seen. Just as we were getting ready to go, Mommy tied bed-bed (my special blanket) around me so I could be brave like super-man, and I carried pickles and buddy (my bunny and teddy bear) to the Operating room! I was very brave and everything went great! Mommy and Daddy said I was back there for about 45 minuets. When I woke up I was a little sad, but once I really woke up I was ok, and I even got to eat some popcicles, and have some juice. Here are a few pics from that day!

SaturdayAugust1st we had a big party at Matante Pauline's house. We were all so excited because we knew we were gonna get to see the triplets. We've been following their blog and talking about them and missing them for a long time. So we were all excited to see them and Kiss them. Mommy told us that they weren't little babies anymore, and boy was she right. We couldn't believe how much they had grown.

Jordan thought that everything was funny! Mommy said he reminded her alot of Collin as a baby.

Jack was deep in thought with his binkie!

Addison is such a little cutie,

she kept laughing at us playing

Addie was NOT impressed with everyone trying to take her picture, Jordan however thought it was pretty amusing that his sister was making such a fuss.

Aiden just couldn't help himself. He just had to give Jack some kisses! Hmmm I wonder if he'll be that sweet with our new brother?

Here our our baby cousins with their Mommy and Daddy..Jack, Addison, and Jordan! Aren't they just little pumpkins! That's what Collin calls them. Oh their mommy and daddy's names are Scott and Jamie. Mommy says that Scott is her cousin and growing up he was her most favorite person in the world!

Here we are having a nice picinic lunch. Mmm Hotdogs and mac salad! Yummo!It was so much fun having a big family get together. We loved seeing all our Aunts and Uncles, and getting to meet our cousin Roy..and getting to see the triplets again. We've really missed them and can't believe how big they got. We love you all!
