More of the Same

Well, bad news.  Dash is learning some unfortunate stereotypes. So the other day he tells me, "I'm wanna be a daddy or a grandpa because they're the ones that do work."  Of course, I tell him that mommas and grandmas work too. His reply, "Well, yeah, like clean and stuff." Yikes!  I mean, I'm happy with being a stay-at-home mom, but really.....

Anyway, outside of the high testosterone levels in our home, things are pretty much the same.  By this I mean I still haven't had the baby.  We are still staying busy though, you know, I have all that cleaning to do :).  On Monday, the boys and I went to Rapid City for my doctor's appointment and then on Tuesday we went to Gillette to watch Brand's last football game.  Colt has especially taken to football.  In fact, he thinks coaching is all Brand does.  Throughout the day Colt will ask, "Where's daddy?".  And then he answers himself, "Oh, football."  Actually the way Colt says it makes it seem like Brand is a soccer coach in another country.  Its more like. "Oh, futbal."

Finally yesterday we went back into Rapid City with Jared and Kerri Ivie.  The Ivies wanted to see a bone exhibit that was at the Rushmore Mall so we were really talking it up to the boys about how we were going to go see these bones and Dash got excited because he thought we were going to a museum.  Anyway, when we got there, we decided that the exhibit wasn't worth the admission price, so instead we went to Cabela's and Dash thought all the dead stuffed animals were part of the best museum ever.  In addition to that we stopped by a park and the boys got to eat chicken nuggets and ice cream, so all in all, we had a good day.

Dash and Abby Ivie at the park in Rapid City.  The boys love playing with Abby and since she is already a head taller than Dash, we feel pretty confident that they'll always be "just friends".
