Here are the kids driving the trucks. I was riding with them so sorry for the bumpy video. :) It turned out better than I expected. They obviously thoroughly enjoyed this ride.

Riding the bus video
Here's Owen with Nana and Dadda on the "School Bus" as he called it. It was a little bus that worked kinda like a ferris wheel and went around in vertical circles. I think it was his favorite ride as he kept wanting to go back to it. :)
Now it'll take 2 months!
Man oh man... I keep thinking that one day life will slow down just a little bit, give me a chance to breathe easy and update everyone on what's going on. However, life goes on and so does the severe lack of blogging. :) That said, here's an update!
Matt has the list of things we need to blog about, so I'll miss some things I'm sure, but here's a start and I'll add more... really... I will... soon...
Weekend before last we had our first trip to Six Flags over Texas! It was so much fun. We took both of the kids, Nana, Poppy and Aunt Bee. I was surprised at how much Ella was allowed to ride. She and Owen rode everything they could again and again. :) It was so fun to ride with them and to watch them having fun. We have something like 300 pictures and a couple of cute videos. I'll post the videos after this and here's a link to the pictures. Boy did we have fun! And for the record, yes, my kids like funnel cake. :)
Other fun things...
- Owen has mastered his tricycle. I think I've got a video of that somewhere. I'll see if I can get Matt to put it on YouTube so I can post it here. He loves riding up and down the sidewalk any time we're outside. Ella also loves to ride the smaller plastic tricycle, but is still a bit short to peddle. She clearly knows what to do and gets very frustrated that she can't reach. :) So instead, she has to settle with me pushing her around on it.
- Ella is trying to talk a little bit. She says a few little things like "Bye bye da-da" and "Bay-eee" (for baby) and "uh oh" and she asks "where is _____?" but I dont know how to type the way she says it. :) It's really cute and she holds her hands up and shrugs her shoulders and it's so cute. :) She also asks "What's that?" but again... I'm not sure how to type the way she says it. :)
- We have lots of new babies to play with amongst our family and friends. Baby Caitlyn was born 2 weeks ago and we went to see her yesterday. She is so precious! Baby Seth was born a little over a week ago. We haven't gotten to meet him yet, but we will in a few weeks! We can't wait!! And alas Baby Mary Jane arrived last week!! Her poor mommy was in labor for 26 hours! But she survived to tell the story and we absolutely can't wait to meet the sweet baby girl we've heard so much about.
- On a similar note, we just found out that Owen & Ella are gonna have a cousin! My little brother is going to be having his first baby in 7 or 8 months. Congratulations! We're so excited!!
- Here's a funny story that I have loved to tell lately. :) On Easter Sunday, we let Owen come with us to "big church" to listen to the music and he was being good, so we let him stay in there for most of the sermon. Towards the end he was getting restless and wanted to talk, so I took him to Sunday school for the last few minutes. During the sermon, Pastor Steve read a little children's book that one of his friends had written. It was called "Hey, that's not what the Bible says!" and has funny little stories where the Bible stories are wrong and then it corrects them with that phrase. Well, later that afternoon, we were all at Aunt Josie's house doing our usual Easter festivities (food, egg hunt, food, etc) and out of nowhere, Owen says "Hey! That's not what the Bible says". I about fell out of my chair laughing and being astonished. I had no idea he was paying attention to the sermon! I was shocked! It goes to show you that little minds soak up everything they hear. The lesson I learned there is that he's really not too little for "big church" and we should give him the opportunity to go more often. We never know what he might learn from it!
Okay - I really need to do some work now. I'll cross-check with Matt's list and add anything I forgot. :) Check back and bug me if I'm slow at giving updates! :)
