Holiday World

This year we took our family vacation to Holiday World..May30 through June 2. We stayed in the RV at Lake Rudolph Campground, which is adjacent to Holiday World. We had a few minor (no, not really) setbacks in getting this vacation off the ground. First, the water heater in the RV got a hole in it. Since Mommy's not even about to take a cold shower, that was a must-fix before we could go anywhere. So a few hundred dollars later, the furnace craps out. Well in Indiana you never can be too sure what kind of temperatures you're going to be dealing with at night in late May, so there went another few hundred dollars. When we got there and got all set up it was in the mid-80's and humid as all get-out. It was then that we realized the air conditioner wasn't working. AARRGGHH! Oh well, such is life. We had a great time anyway! Here's Ty filling his pool so he can stay cool.

Steak dinner. Yummy!

We buzzed all around the campground in this golf cart. Poor Ty wanted to drive it so badly, but Justin found out first-hand that the security guards don't like it when you let a 2 yr old drive.

You have to be 36" to ride the medium sized rides in the park. Of course Ty was 35.5" the first day we went to the park, so he had to settle for the tiny rides. He didn't mind, though. He really liked all the rides he went on, especially the merry go round. The next day we went back to the park we put the thickest soled shoes we could find on him and he made it to 35.75" so I guess he'll have to wait until next time to get the bajeepers scared out of him on the bigger rides.

We all liked the antique cars because all 4 of us could ride together, and Ty could drive...his favorite thing to do!

Ty really like the lazy river thing that you ride around on tubes. Except when Justin tried to take him on it to calm him down when he was throwing a temper-tantrum for his blankie. I had gone in to the nursing mothers' room with Dallas and I had the blankie with me in the stroller...oops. Justin said he screamed all the way around the ride! He threw a doozie of a tantrum the day before that too when we were waiting (forever) to order lunch. Poor Ty wanted Daddy (who was standing in line along with about a hundred other people waiting to order) but we couldn't leave the table where we were waiting because then someone else would snatch it up and we would have nowhere to sit. Add to this that he was also hot, tired and hungry (the tantrum trifecta) and I'm sure you can just imagine...it wasn't pretty. But after he got some food in his belly he calmed down and was very well behaved the rest of the day.

How could he be any cuter???

Dallas is plotting a way to get his hands on that ice cream.

Dallas got to cool off too.

Mr. Serious

This "choo-choo" was one of Ty's favorites.

All tuckered out...

...mission accomplished!

More Kisses

One day last week I dropped the boys off at the babysitter's just like always. I usually go in a talk to her for a few minutes while they get settled in, then I give them kisses and leave. Ty will cry every now and then, but usually he just gives me a kiss and says, "Love you, bye" and that's about it. On this particular day I had given them their kisses and was walking to the door when Ty came running up behind me from the other room saying, "More kisses, more kisses!" So I of course gave him more kisses and he said, "Love you, Mommy" and ran back in the other room to play. I hate leaving them at a sitter, but if I have to do it that's how a mommy wants to start her day.

Poor Kid

He can't even talk yet, and he's already putting his foot in his mouth.

Love You, Mommy

Last night Ty did the sweetest thing. Lately if he wakes up in the night, he's been coming in our room and climbing in bed with us. Last night he got in bed next to me and wrapped his arm around my neck and said, "Love you, Mommy." (This was particularly sweet becuase he usually doesn't volunteer Love You's except to Dallas.) Then he puckered his lips up so I would kiss him. Then he rolled over and fell right to sleep. My sweet boy...

Who's Who?

Big Jesus

Funny Ty story #2:
The pastor was finishing up his sermon this morning and making his final point, which was Big Jesus equals Big Faith. So quietly he said, "little Jesus equals little faith." Then he says very emphatically, "BIG JESUS..." and pauses for dramatic emphasis, and Ty chimes in with, "BIG JESUS" for the whole congregation to hear. After the laughter died down the pastor said, "Thanks, Ty. I'm glad someone is participating today!"

In Dallas updates...this week he has started laughing! So of course we've been tickling the poor kid like crazy trying to make him laugh. What a sweet sound. I have a decorative plate on my entertainment center that says, "The laughter of a child is the light of a house." How true. In less exciting news, he's currently battling a pretty challenging case of diaper rash. All the sudden last week he just broke out like crazy from his old diapers. We've switched to hypoallergenic (i.e. EXPENSIVE) diapers and loaded on the Desitin and Vaseline...not much luck so far. He's also got a break out on his scalp, which I believe is a cold sore that he got from me. For the past week, I've had the mother of all cold sores above my lip. I got it from Justin, so I was trying to be very careful about kissing Dallas so he wouldn't get it, but apparently it didn't work. Poor kid.
