Victoria's 6th Birthday Party

Victoria had her birthday party at a horse ranch today and it was awesome!  We rode horses, learned how to groom horses and even painted a horse WITH PAINT!  It was such a fun birthday party and I was thrilled to help her celebrate.  Happy Birthday, Victoria!

The Negotiator

Today after school, mommy had a few simple errands to run but didn't want to get us out of the car each time.  So, she asked her helper, Tripp, to run in to 2 places. 

Tripp:  Mom, you owe me $2.00.
Mommy:  I do?  For what?
Tripp:  Because I ran into 2 stores for you.

A few minutes later.

Tripp:  Mommy, you owe me $5.00.
Mommy:  $5?  I thought you said it was $2?
Tripp:  Well, it was but you didn't respond to me quick enough. 
Mommy:  Where did you get your negotiation skills?
Tripp:  From my mother.

Dance, Dance, Dance

There are few things in life that are as fun as dressing up and dancing on the stairs.  And, that's why we do it often!

Levi's Swimming Lessons

Levi started swimming lessons and loves it!  Here are some pictures from his latest splashing around session. 

What's in a name?

Tripp and Blake ride to school together some mornings and this morning, he told Ms. Ellen all about the new baby.  He even told her that if it's a boy, we're naming it Luke and if it's a girl, we're naming it Jesse.  

When mommy picked us up this afternoon, she asked where we found the names and we told her, "Disney Jr of course!"  We then explained that Luke is the brother on the show and Jesse is the babysitter.  I also told mommy that if the baby WASN'T a boy or a girl, we would name it Mr. Kiplinger like the lizard on the show.  We have all of the bases covered.
