Bad bad blogger

It's been a LONG time since I've blogged. I have so much to catch up on. This summer seems to be flying by. I've been trying so hard to spend quality time with all of the kids this summer because I know once school starts it's back to the same ole boring daily routine.
So far we have been to Space Farms (local zoo), Turtlebeach Water Park and Great Wolf Lodge not once but TWICE. We are planning on going back a third time August
25th. I figure it'll be an early birthday present for me. This time will be extra special because I'll get to spend quality time with my hubby. The last time we went it was just the three older kids and I. It was fun but I missed Carl. I'm not used to not having him around so while I had fun with the kids it was always stuck in our minds that he wasn't there. It took some getting used to. Something none of us ever WANT to get used to.
Any who, Saige is talking up a storm! Her latest word is yellow. She knows the color and points to it and screams out the word every chance she gets. She also knows when it's bedtime and when she is told it's time for night night the older kids tell her to "Run Saigie RUN!". Of course she takes off running and when I finally catch her she's laughing like crazy. She also lives for when daddy comes home. She loves when he gets home and takes her for walks. Well, it's not a "walk" for her because she's up on daddy's shoulders. This is her favorite spot. We call it the cat bird seat. She LOOOOVES it up there. They go check on the cows and Saige cries "COWIE" the whole way. TOO cute!
The other kids are just enjoying summer. Julie fell out of bed a couple weeks back and has an indentation in her cheek that we had checked out by both the pediatrician AND the dentist. Both assured me that it will go away in due time. We sure hope so. Stephen and Michael should be going to soccer practice but I just can't bring myself to go. It's SUMMER!! Geez, we need a break!
Busy days are ahead and I dread the end of summer. I'll post some pictures soon! Carl and I took the boys to an AC/DC concert last week and I'm dying to post the pictures but haven't had a chance yet. SOON I promise!
