He is talking and talking all day long. Half the time I am not quite sure about what but he likes to tell stories about things he has done. It makes it fun to go out and do things with him and then hear him talk about it later!
Clifton randomly came up to me this past week and told me he loved me. Melted my heart!!!!!! One of the best being a mom moments so far.
Updates on McKay -
She has not giggled much since her first couple times. I try and try but nothing. I guess I am not funny enough:( It is my goal to find what makes her laugh! She is getting so big. I already have to put clothes away that she does not fit into and get knew ones out. Too fast!
This week Alex had to go to California for work. So I decided that while he was away I would escape to Portland. I was extremely nervous to go on my own with two kiddos. Also to sleep in one room with two kids. Clifton is such a light sleeper I worried McKay would wake him up and he would fight going back to bed. But it went very very well. We made the three hour drive fine and the nights went well.
Monday we went to the zoo!
That day was the only sunny day we had so that afternoon we played outside on my brothers trampoline.
Tuesday we went to OMSI (the Oregon science museum) I loved OMSI growing up so I was excited to take Clifton. He is still too young for a lot of it, but they have a toddler area and he liked most of it.
We also went to the Duck ponds and feed ducks! This was Clifton's first time feeding the ducks. I cannot seem to find ducks in Port Orchard.
I got to meet up with some old friends! It was great to see them and their cute families. I loved hearing what they have done with their lives. I cannot believe it has been 8 years!
We also went bowling. Clifton loved the ramp so much more then rolling/throwing the ball!
Here are some random fun pictures from the trip.
McKay sleeping with her hands up!
We had a ton of fun in Portland. I was so happy to be able to go down and for the kids to do well so it could be an enjoyable time. I was so scared to do it on my own but it is good to know that I can.
The next day when we got home our home development had an Easter Egg hunt.
He only got a few eggs but he had fun specially eating the treats that were in the eggs.
This weekend was General Conference. I loved hearing the Prophet and Apostles speak. The messages they spoke where what I needed to hear. It gave me a long list of things I need to improve and work on. It also gave me motivation to be better.
However it was real hard with Clifton running around. So I found an activity that kept him busy and quiet.
Anyone who knows me knows that I rarely make breakfast. I am a simple cereal kind of gal. So to make conference weekend special I made breakfast. Alex got crafty and made little waffle sandwiches. He took biscuits and cut the dough in half laid eggs, cheese and bacon in the middle and grilled it. I made cinnamon roll waffles! It was a good conference!
April fools day was on Sunday. So I decided to throw a little prank on Alex.
A great week!!!!!
Looks like you had a lot of fun! You do get the hang of two kids, makes it easier with how young McKay is still. I've heard good things about the OMSI, maybe one day we'll go there.
