A new park



Happy Holiday! MLK JR. day that is! For most people holidays like this either means work as usual or the day off. For me it means more than usual. Since there's no school I have all 3 of the Ott's as well as mine. But that's no problem. So I just hope that all those on holiday are enjoying themselves today. :-)
Just look at these big chocolate brown eyes. How can you even resist?

Today we visited a new park in Mission Royale. We'd never been there before & man I wish I had taken my camera. (I'll do that next time, don't worry). Besides ya'll are getting spoiled with all the pictures. :-) Did you know there are actually blogs out there with no pictures at all?! I know, lame!
Anyway, the park is big & has 2 really big slides. Dawson loved all the climbing. It's like 3 big ladders to get up to the top slides. Besides all the fun levels in between. And 2 rock climbing walls and lots more things I don't even know what are called. Like I would call them things like "The lilly pad walk" or "the spinning monkey bars" or "the shakey brick wall". And others I can't even begin to name & still sound half-way intelligent.

Then next to that is a small play set for little kids (meant for Dawson's age I'm sure).

Now this whole park is right next to the 5 acre water park that Mission Royale has. It wasn't opened today of course. But I would be interested to get more info. about it before summer. Everything I look up about it online is old & tells about it coming the Spring of '07. So I don't know if you have to be a resident of Mission Royale to go in it or what. But if not, that would be really cool this summer for me & the kids.
Speaking of which, here I'll give you one last pictures to look at for today.
Here are my boys & I all dressed up for church. Other than Dawson not being too thrilled about it, aren't they just so handsome?!

Yeah, we didn't even realized that is was MLK Jr day until today. Charles realized because some banks were closed or something like that.
So.. a holiday after our vacation... pretty sweet!
That parks sounds sweet! Sounds like you guys all had alot of fun!
I don't think I would take the kids to the park right now in the morning. My body is having temperature shock and thinks it is WAY COLD here! And it doesn't help that I can't put my tennis shoes on, or any shoes for that matter. Flip flops are great, but then my feet are freezing.
So... this water park is like swimming and stuff or what?
I love the picture of you and the boys! You all look so cute!
And the picture of Dawson is adorable. I just can't stand it!
He's too cute!

A Fresh look.

Time again for one of those painting/decorating pangs to hit me. I put the kids down for naps & knew that I didn't want to do housework or sit at the computer or anything else that I normally would do with this quiet time to myself. I did however feel the definite urge to do something creative, relaxing & with paint involved. So I casually go out to get the mail & then... bam ! Those of you who know me, may have guessed what came next. I can't just have me & everyone else just look at a boring 'ole black mailbox everyday. That poor mailman/ mail lady ! He/She (we have both) will thank me for it I'm sure. See, here is my poor dilapidated mailbox prior to 1pm. It was in bad need of a new coat of black paint, the bird poop washed off & some screws to hold it up straight. It's so ashamed it can't even hold it's head up high! But behold the beauty of the newly restored mailbox! A new look along with all new screws. It can hold its head up hi...

Family Memories

It's totally weird & unexpected, but the 4 day vacation up to Show Low was one of our best vacations ever! Even Tim said that was true for him. It was nothing spectacular, just good, clean fun! Relaxing, yet not boring. Fun, yet not busy. And the kids all behaved & got along...maybe that's what made it awesome! Plus the fact that we hadn't done too much as a family for a year due to Tim's hospitalizations, sicknesses & lack of vacation time left. We went to a very fancy restaurant. Savannah had been learning in school about etiquette in a place like this, so she was able to practice it & keep the boys in line. This place also had a live band out back, so afterwards we went out there & sat around the fire and danced a little. We all played frisbee golf. Tim grilled our dinners while I sat on the porch & read. The kids played games outside. Tim joined them in several hide-and-go-seek games, which they thought was cool. He did some pretty impressi...

My time to reminisce about Dawson.

No matter what I do, my children just keep getting older! I tell them they aren't allowed to. I don't give them big parties. Nothing works. :-0 I so vividly remember the first days with him in our family. Savannah & Hunter were thrilled to have a baby in our house. My little thumb sucker. I have to say, Dawson is just so full of life & personality & odd thoughts & sayings. He's very imaginative and thoughtful & caring and the next minute he's pestering someone out of their mind! He's unpredictable most of the time. He will always find the loop-hole to the rule & find a way to do something naughty that there wasn't a rule made up for yet. He makes me want to pull my hair out most days...but it's that passion that makes me crazy about him too. Last night we went to Rustler's Rooste for dinner with my in-laws to celebrate. ...
