Park Play with Cousin Caleb

After a yummy dinner at Lolo's (Mexican restaurant in MB), with Nai-Nai & Yeye Ream, we took the cousins (Maddie & Caleb, & his parents Diane & Russ) to Cloisters Park to wear them out. It was a nice cool evening & not too crowded. The kids had a good time running, swinging, climbing & eating. Yes, eating. Seems Caleb has an affinity for the good ole MB sand! The plan worked well for us-Maddie went to sleep by about 9:15!

Library Puppeteer

I took Madeline to her first library story time today. We were told that there was going to be a magician/puppeteer there. (Thanks Auntie Julie!) It took Maddie a while to warm up to him, but about 30 minutes into it, she was up front with the rest of the kids. (She is in the middle of the sea of kids in the last picture.) My niece, Diane, her husband Russ, & their son Caleb were there too.

We're Ba-a-a-ck!

Hey! As you can tell, we're finally able to upload pictures again. Michael had made some changes to our router last week that wouldn't (for some reason) let us upload pictures. It's fixed now, so watch out! Many Pictures & Posts to come! haha

Heat Wave!

This is our thermometer sitting in the living room on Fri June 20th. The big number is the temp outside & the smaller one to the left is inside the house. Yep! You're reading it right! The temp outside on Friday was 107 & 99 in the house. Not a pretty day around here. We are not supposed to get that hot here. Michael bought one of the last 2 kiddie pools in the area the night before. There are no fans to be found in the whole county!












"Matt won't realize it for another few seconds, but I just pottied!"

Happy Birthday Honey!

WOW! Watching baseball in high definition is amazing. You feel like you can reach out & touch the sea creatures on Discovery channel HD. Now the non-HD channels look pretty grainy! Boy, did I get spoiled quickly!

It is a great babysitter-for Michael! :)

Flour & Sugar!

Here is the picture I was trying to tell you about.
(I was able to upload the picture using Michael's computer)
I will try to do more later & get you caught up in the Phillips Phamily Phive life!

No fun!

Ok, blogging is just NO fun when I can't put pictures up. :( Yesterday, Juliette was here & we made brownies together with Miss Madeline. (The older kids were at summer school) Juel was mixing the flour & sugar together & the next thing we know, Miss M is eating a spoonful! Yucky! But she seemed to like it. So just imagine her standing there, flour flying everywhere! :)
