Tele-TUB-bies

I admit it ! We are the kind of parents that like to have a good laugh at the expense of their own kids! and I was bored too, so I couldn't resist it. It is a good thing they still don't mind the jokes I play on them and they still talk to me. I love my kids!

. . . and some cookies!

I have to share this story before I forget it. Every Sunday when we go to Church, Ben and I talk to Taylor and McKay and explain to them everything that goes on in Church. That way they understand or get an idea of why we do some things, what they represent, the need to be reverent, etc., etc. Anyway, last Sunday just before Sacrament, I was telling Taylor that we needed to be very reverent while we wait for the "pan y agua" to be passed around (bread and water as if you haven't figured it out yet). To this, Taylor looked at me and said: "Wait for pan y agua. . . and some cookies!" After she said that, it was very hard for me to keep a straight face during Sacrament. It took all inside me not to laugh out loud. I can't think of how she got the idea that we get cookies during Sacrament, but her face was priceless. Kids say the funniest things!

Birthday Party

Today was a busy Monday for Taylor and McKay. They attended their first birthday party (other than their own of course!), and had a great time. Well, the invitation was for Taylor, but wherever she goes, there goes McKay. It's a good thing she doesn't mind yet. Anyway, Taylor got an invitation card last week from her little friend from Nursery, Addie, and she loved it so much, she wouldn't let go of it. So I am pretty sure she was looking forward to this. She enjoyed buying a birthday present for her friend (Then again, what kid doesn't like going the toy store) and playing at the park. Taylor played so hard that when it came time to cut the cake and give away presents, her cheeks were so rosy and she was so sweaty. It was nice for me because when we came home, they both crashed pretty hard at naptime. Thanks Addie and happy birthday!!!

Family Reunion

It has been a week since we got back from the 2008 Harris' family reunion in Twin Falls, ID, and it's taken us this long to recuperate from the trip. We had a very enjoyable time and stay at the reunion. It was awesome to see most of the family that we don't get to see very often and spend time and visit with them. (We missed those who couldn't make it, but we understand). We also enjoyed all the family activities and celebration done for the 4th of July. It was great seeing our little ones also participate in these activities and getting to play with their cousins. I know for a fact that our daughters, especially Taylor, had a good time doing this. Every night we had to scrub them both in the tub three or four times just to get rid of all the dirt and sweat they had accumulated during the day; and when it got time to go to bed, they went down like a rock and even got to sleep in the next day. That tells me they had a good time! and so did we!

I am going to share one of my favorite moments from the reunion. It is shown in this picture of the men watching on the iPhone some good old Terry Tate office linebacker youtube action in the morning after breakfast. Don't they look like they are having fun?
