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. :-)

Fun Times
Tuesday we went to Iowa to visit and have dinner with Leah and Tyler (Matt's aunt and uncle). Our first stop was to Rick and Ginny's (and Skyler's too of course). We always have a blast when we visit them (or when they visit us). Surprisingly though I did not get any pictures while we were there. Very strange I think...
The next place we went was to visit Matt's great-aunt Lolly and Peggy. If was nice to visit with them and catch up. I think it had been since Thanksgiving since we had seen Lolly. Hopefully we will be back to visit before too much time passes again.
We then went to the mall to see Grandma Fairlie (she works at the mall) and to pick up Matt's wedding ring. There were a few stones loose so they were fixing it. We have a blast at the mall. The women in the jewelry store are wonderful and my kids love them.
Our final stop for the day was to Leah and Tyler's. They fed us a delicious meal. Thank you so much for that. G1 and G3 loved the cats. G2 isn't much into animals (she gets that from me). We also went out to see the horses. G1 and G3 threw apples to them. G2 got down after a while and picked up apples for Matt to throw to them to the horses. G1 got to get in with the horses with Uncle Tyler. He really enjoyed it. He did get spooked when a horse jumped from getting bit by a horse-fly and bumped G1's head.
The drive home was nice. The moon was absolutely beautiful. I wish I could have gotten a better picture of it than I did.
Wednesday we decided to go visit Marcia and Jacob. While there we got to spend time with Jessie and Aiden. We walked to the park and of course had a blast. On the way back Aiden and G1 held hands. It was absolutely adorable.
We went to Jacob's parents' house for dinner. I love spending time with his mom (his dad's great too, I've just never really spent any time with him). The piano was a big hit with the Gs. It was fun watching them play.
We decided to stay the night and continue having fun longer (which actually that happens most any time we go visit them--so I wasn't surprised).
Thursday morning Aiden came back over for Marcia to watch her. We made bread and the kids all played. It was a lot of fun. Hopefully we will get to see Jessie and Aiden again before they move. Thanks for hanging out with us Jessie and Aiden; thanks for letting us crash at your house Marcia and Jacob.
After we got back home the kids were all pooped. They ended up taking a 3.5 to 4 hour nap! It was wonderful. I was able to get most of my book read in that amount of time.
Friday afternoon I took G3 to get her stitches out. She didn't like it but she did really well. I tried to get a picture of how she looks but she didn't cooperate very well. I also included another picture of G4 just because I wanted to.

Toddler Beds
We decided to change the big girls from their cribs to toddler beds. Since they are climbing out of the cribs anyway we figured this is going to be safer. So, Tuesday evening Matt and I got their toddler beds set up. When I talked to them about what we were going to do they seemed really excited. But once we moved the one crib for G4 out of the way and started turning the other crib into a toddler bed they didn't seem to happy. At first G1 was not happy that we were giving "his big boy bed" to his sisters, but he got over it quickly (the white bed is the one we got for his 1st birthday).
After we got the toddler beds all ready G1, G2 and G3 jumped around on the beds for awhile. Once it was time for bed G2 was not happy at all. She screamed for quite a while. G3 did like she always does at bed time and just laid there looking around, chewing on her "Happy" thing.
This is what I found when I went up to check on them before going to bed myself (G2 fell out of bed right after I took this picture):
This is what I found when I went up to check on the girls tonight. I couldn't even get the door open wide enough to get through. (This is G3 by the way.)
After G1 and I's eye doctor appointment Thursday we went into the optical part of the office to order my new glasses and pick out Matt's safety glasses. G1 helped try some on.
G1 and I both got our eyes dilated. G2 and G3 enjoyed playing with the sunglasses things that I got to protect my eyes from the sun.
Oh, yeah. Aunt Marcia came up for the day to watch the girls so Matt could drive G1 and I to the eye doctor. We had a lot of fun with her.
This is what Matt found when he got home from work last night. Normally the kids are in bed no later than 8 but last night I needed to get Marcia to the train station and when I got home and got the kids in G1 wanted to cuddle on the couch. I was okay with that so he went and got all of their blankets and "Happys" (yes I know that isn't spelled correctly but "Happy" is the name) and we all laid on the couch and fell asleep. (The above picture ^^ was taken after Matt picked up G2 and then decided she needed a diaper change. Her legs are filthy because they had suckers and got all sticky and I just didn't get them cleaned up.)
Matt decided that was a perfect opportunity to take a family picture. He's a silly guy. :-)

Water Fun
Sunday before Marcia had to get back to the train station we played outside for a bit. I had gotten the kids a Diego sprinkler and it was their first time trying it out. The big girls had more fun eating rock I think. G2 is the one in the purple swimsuit: G3 in the cherry swimsuit.
Pictures of the Gs: In the outside pictures (pictures from our walk this morning) G3 is the one in the stroller. In the indoor pictures G2 is the one in the car seat. All 3 girls have matching outfits on. :-)
