"Dad, your face is boring"

That's what Jenna said to Ben today during dinner. We got a good laugh out of that and it made our day a little brighter.

Now, I know what you're all thinking, "What the.....? She's posting on her blog!" Yes, it is true. But I must say this post is for one person in particular. And that's YOU........ DAD! As for the rest of you, get a facebook account and add me as your friend. It's a million times easier to upload pictures and videos to that website than it is blogger.

Let me recap the last couple of months. Hmmm......let me think......what have we done?.......oh, yeah, gone to the beach and the pool. And that about sums it up. It's so bloody hot and humid down here we can't seem to muster up the energy to do anything else outside. You want proof? Check out the pics of Ben's face from the 4th of July. Yes, that is sweat dripping down his face at 10 o'clock at night. My mom once commented when she came to visit in September that she felt like she was 'melting' and well, that's a pretty good description of it.

Jenna took swim lessons and does pretty well for a 3 year old, if I do say so myself. She loves puzzles, books, jumping in the pillows, and alligators. Last week she yelled down from her room after we put her in bed "Mom, Dad, there's an alligator under my bed!" She also likes to tell us what time it is. Usually it's something like "Fifty-Nine Seventeen" or "Twenty-Nine Dollars" (just ask Kara!). She swallowed a quarter a couple of weeks ago. And no, I didn't go fishing for it the next day. We just let her do her business, took a peek in the toilet for a few days to see if we could see anything, and just assume that it made it's way out of her system. No souvenirs this time!

Dani likes to cause a ruckus everywhere she goes. But that smile of hers just makes everything better. She has started saying a few words - doggie, drink, juice, be be (paci, blanky, baby, poopy - take your pick) tickle, dada, mama, Jenna (nenna), No, please, and a 6 or 7 animal sounds. She and Jenna play so well together and it's fun to watch them entertain themselves. She loves the pool and the beach and it's nice to put her little floaties on let her have some freedom in the water.

Ben and I went parasiling for our anniversary and it was the coolest thing ever. Oh, and I won tickets on the radio last week to the American Idol concert next week. Who does that? I guess losers like me who can recognize Jessica Simpson's voice in a sound bite. Either way, we are going to the concert and I'm totally wearing an 'I Heart Kris Allen' shit. It's gonna be awesome!
