The Fabulous Legacy Center

Here's a fun time at the greatest pool that ever existed. There's awesome playsets for kids with slides, bouncy swings, and a big ol' barrel that dumps water all over, a lazy river and a ginormous slide that I am always a wee bit scared to go down. We went with Grandma Tomi, Emmers and Anna, Seth and Ruthie and had a blast. I definately recommend it to everyone. Though it can get busy, we went in the morning on a Thursday and it was the perfect occupancy. Us and about 10 other people. Legacy Center rocks the 'Iz-'Ouse! You must go!

Notice how we now have to use a swim diaper and plastic liner now, due to the runs given to the masses last year. I was fine with it- I want none of that at my house! And yes- Gracie is the same size as Anna who is 5. Crazy.

Even the locker room was full of secret places to hide and play.

Lucy had fun for a while, but there just wasn't quite enough stuff to keep her interested and awake. I guess you can't please everyone.

What Doing?

Life gets busy I guess, then I forget to write about it until I start to notice that I've missed my blogging therapy session! I haven't even been all that busy - I just feel that way because I ought to be! I have preschool starting in like 3 months and though I'm ready - I'm totally not ready! I have my garden that is right now the garden from you know where, and isn't even close to getting in. But I don't care. If I have to plant them in August and have nothing to show for it, then so be it. I'm not doing all this bug infested, back breaking weed pulling for nothing! My real problem is that I'm reading Little Woman, a book that I love, and I can't seem to finish it, but every spare minute I get, I read! I'm in some serious trouble! My laundry kept piling up to the point that Andy did it, which happens more often that I like to admit. But in my defense, he runs out of clothes faster than I do so I don't notice it as soon!
But life is happy and we've done some fun things. I set up the slip'n'slide on the chance warm day we had this summer so far. It was really fun and I eventually let Gracie have a turn. It was cute though- she'd watch me do it then say, "Mommy- I too big." "It's boring" But as soon I had her go with me she was lovin it.
We went to the park for a picnic yesterday with daddy, which is always fun. We just follow Gracie from one play set to the next and haul all our junk all over the park. She loves the power as much as the slides I think!
But mostly I keep busy feeding babies, changing babies, bathing babies, scolding babies and best of all playing with the babies! Pretty much- I love it!

We visited one grave on Sunday, and Gracie loved all the decorations, especially all the flags. We left before she got any ideas,

Lucy is minutes away from learning to crawl I'm afraid. I'm actually very excited for her because she's wanted to get up and go the second she was born. Anyone that's held her before can attest. As you can see I always forget my camera, so here's a random photo of the sweet little punky pie. Her thumb sucking skills are pretty cute!

Piggies at the Zoo

I love the Zoo. I just do and you can make fun of me all you want. I've already been twice this spring. (I have a family season pass.) Those little caged animals thrill me to peices, poor things. I always get so excited when they actually move around and act like they're glad to be alive. Andy told Gracie all last week that we would go to the Zoo on Monday. Turned out that it was overcast, showering and cold that day. But, a promise is a promise so we packed up our jackets and went. It was the best zoo day ever because all the animals were in rare form. I saw the wolf for the third time in about 70 visits (the second time was about 2 weeks ago) and he was pacing around; the black bears were playing and being crazy; the tiger was pacing and I made a noise I guess he didn't like cause he sprayed in my direction; the cheetah was out pacing; the gorilla was enjoying his view of us while eating a tissue box like it was popcorn; on the train ride an unfenced buffalo headed straight for Gracie (which freaked me out); the monkeys are always entertaining; and when I said "here pretty kitty" to one of the cougars it came right to me! That trip is going in the record books. Too bad Gracie and Lucy won''t remember it. They had fun though. And amazingly enough, Andy and I didn't bicker once the entire day! Go ahead and add that to the record books too!

Photo Shoot

My darling cousin Kelsey and equally darling cousin assistant Jocelyn took these pictures of the girls and did an awesome job! And even though my girls were difficult to get to smile... she got some way cute ones I think!
Thanks a million Kelsey!
