I am stop behaving!

We had a pretty fun Labor Day weekend. Saturday night Marcia and Jacob came and stayed with us for a family reunion on Sunday. On the drive we had some interesting conversations with G1.

Conversation #1:
Me: Gavyn take a nap with Jacob
G1: No
Me: Then go to sleep and take a nap next to Jacob
G1: No
Marcia: Then stay awake
G1: Mommy telled me go to sleep

Conversation #2:
Me: Gavyn get your foot out of Giuliana's car seat.

Me: You know, we can have fun until you stop behaving.
G1: I AM stop behaving
Me and Marcia: I know!

Conversation #3:
Me: Say "negotiation"
G1: I can't

Me: Say "awesome possum"
G1: I can't

Me: Say "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (completely butchered the spelling I'm sure)
G1: I can't

Marcia: Say "I love Marcia"
G1: I can't...love Marcia, I love Mommy
After just a little bit
G1: I can't say "awesome possum"

Conversation #4--this conversation was all G1 and happened when we saw some cows:
G1: Gavyn scares cows.
...
G1: I need to scare cows.

Monday we had the ward pancake breakfast. Marcia, Jacob, Rick, Ginny, Skyler, Mom, Dean and the 6 of us all went. They had fun playing. G4 got to swing for the first time. After the pancake breakfast Marcia and Jacob had to get back to the train station. We then walked to Main Street to watch the parade.

Monday night I got a couple videos of G1 and G4 talking.

Here are a couple more random conversations I have had with G1 lately:

Conversation #5--seeing an Amtrak:
G1: Marcia lives on that train
Me: No she doesn't
G1: Yes she does (in a sing-songy voice)

Conversation #6--while chewing on the inside of his cheek:
G1: I've got a nipple in my mouth (the skin flappy thing from chewing on his cheek)

Conversation #7:
G1: Mommy, you're a train
Me: No, you're a train
G1: You're a train
Me: You're a train
That went on for a little while. :-)

This one's for you Mom

I hope everyone had a wonderful (and safe) 4th of July! I love the 4th. There is always fun things going on and I love fireworks. This year Matt worked 11-11 so the Gs and I spent the day down at Mom's house and then went and watched the fireworks with her, Poppy and cousin Bryan. Friday night G1 stayed with Grammy, Poppy and Bryan.

Here are some pictures from before we headed to Mom's. These cute outfits they are wearing are from their Grandma Fairlie. (G2 has on the plaid outfit and G3 the red outfit.)

These are picture of us hanging out at Mom's.





We went outside so the kids could play with the tricycles. That was a blast.

See, I get it from my mom! But don't tell her I posted this picture--and Mom if you're looking at it you really aren't seeing this picture; it's a figment of your imagination. :-P

Saturday morning Bryan, G1, G2 and G3 were in a tractor pull. After the boys each got first place (G1 was against G2 and G3--and they can't pedal yet) we played in the park.

Daddy then had to get to work and the girls needed a nap (which was taken at Grammy's).



Saturday evening we headed back up to the park to play for a bit before watching some more fireworks. The kid got very messy but they had fun.
