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. :-)

Happy Memorial Day!

Yesterday we took a walk to downtown. On our way back home we walked around the railroad museum and train station. Here are some pictures of us in front of the train:

These are from the rest of our walk home:

Today we were in the Memorial Day parade with the people from my doctor's office as well as other patients. It was a nice day for the parade. G1 and G3 rode in the stroller. G2 rode on Matt's shoulders most of the way. They all had fun--especially G2. We even had Mom walking with us. It was a fun time.

Here is a video of G2 during the parade (if you listen carefully at the beginning you can here her say "cheese" because she thought I was just taking a picture):

Here is a short video of what the girls were doing yesterday during nap-time:

*Jessie--we will not be coming down tomorrow on the train. :-( I'm just not feeling the best and figure it's not a good idea to risk it. It just means that you guys will have to come visit us very soon. I mean you have to come anyway to meet G4. :-)
