Popcorn on the moon and milkshakes on the head

So today Alex informed me that he wants to be an astronaut when he grows up. We went and saw "Fly Me To The Moon" over the weekend and he really liked it. Ever since then, he's been doing his moon walking (not Michael Jackson style) and talking about the moon. So I asked him today what he'd do if he were an astronaut. He said "I'd eat popcorn on the moon but not cookies because they'd be too messy."

Just wanted to share that with everyone.

Here are a few pictures from the boys' trip to Iowa with Daddy, we'll get more when Grammy and Poppy get back from Rhode Island, where Aunt Ashlee is going to be going to school. Good luck Aunt Ashlee! We know you'll do great!











These next 3 are at the Bob Feller museum, which is a favorite stop for the boys:

Riding elephants and playing with water guns!

Hi everyone. I apologize for not posting on here for awhile. We've had a lot going on over the past month.

There isn't too much new going on. The boys just returned from a fun weekend in Iowa with Grammy, Poppy, Aunt Ashlee, Auntie Lynda ("La-La") and Uncle Bryan. They went to the Iowa fair and did everything from riding on a tractor, to riding and elephant!! Alex had a shake poured on his head and they both got lots of fun new things from The Reeds. Alex got a Transformers backpack for school and Andy got a cute Thomas bag that he can pull around himself on wheels. It sounds to me like they had a great time. I'll post pictures when I get them from Chris.

Other than that, Mommy has been keeping busy with a lot of her Twilight Mom stuff and we've been trying to stay cool as much as possible. The boys have been having a pretty fun summer but I think we're starting to look forward to the fall when Alex starts preschool and the boys will both celebrate their birthdays. They have already been talking about what they want for a birthday party and what they want to be for Halloween.

Going back a little, on July 24th, we went to Grandma Mary's and Papa Johns house for dinner and Papa John surprised us all with squirt guns. I'm going to try to upload the video of the water fight we had. It was so fun and the boys had a great time trying to soak everyone. Especially Alex. He was going around with two guns and hiding behind things to sneak up on everyone.



This is just a funny video of one of the cute things Andy has been saying. The boys are VERY into Transformers the movie, which I let them watch bits and peices of. In the beginning of the movie, the main character is giving a history on the "All Spark", which is I guess what created the Transformers originally. Andy is basically repeating what Optimus Prime is explaining. He's saying something to the effect of "Before the war began, there was the cube." He of course is saying it funny, but it'll make you laugh. We thought it was funny, so I thought I'd share it:




We took a drive up to Silver Lake with Grandma Mindi a few weeks ago, so here are some pictures from that:











We hope everyone is enjoying the rest of the summer. Let's all hope it'll start cooling off a little soon so we can get out more!! Love to you all.
