Remember when . . .

I've been tagged, and I thought I'd join in! (Just for you Connie!) Here are the directions:
As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! (Be nice! I'm VERY pregnant!)
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. HAVE FUN!

New lyrics

She didn't WEAR "an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka-dot BIKINI." Paige sings that "She WAS an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot ZUCCHINI." Just in case you were confused about the true lyrics.

She and Tyler also swear that we're having PAMcakes for dinner.

It's a date!

The induction date has officially been set for Thursday July 24th at 9:00 am. That's TWO WEEKS from now! YIPPEE! To top things off, I officially have gallstones. We're going extremely lowfat from now until then to make certain that I don't have any more attacks. The lowfat part won't hurt me or Morgan, I'm sure of that. Tonight's menu was tilapia, whole wheat couscous and asparagus. It was REALLY good. Shane's one mean fish cookin' machine! That's all for now!

My parents. . . they're great!

They really are. You know. . . they came in town to 115 degree weather on their motocycle in full sweat and proceeded to drink 7 glasses of water each. All the while, they were still smiling. They came with us to swimming lessons on Tuesday morning in the 100 degree weather and then they wanted to go back Wednesday AND Thursday.

We saw Indiana Jones together, went bowling, went swimming, went out to eat and went to Home Depot where Dad hauled a REALLY heavy grill home for Shane's birthday. . . . again, in the 115 degree heat.

I think they may have been really bored in between all of these outings. At one point Mom said she even read the cookbook. I love that they put up with us for a week to spend time with my kids. Tyler and Paige just love it when they are here. They love it when Dad sings karaoke and they can dance. They love showing off their art and their toys. They love eating dinner with everybody all together. They love playing games and reading books with Mom. I'm so thankful to have such great parents! We miss you!

Yes, that last picture is Paige in my wedding dress. They were looking at pictures and she wanted to see my dress. You can see where things went from there. She thought it appropriate to "just sit for a while" before we put it back in the box. What a girl!

p.s. Mom, my two friends Melanie and Melany have confirmed the landing of the helicopter in the park, so I guess we have to believe you now!
