Pioneer Day

Thank goodness for State holidays. We needed a day off of work. Last night Shane cooked us a great dinner of steak, chicken and Halibut.... Man we need to get back to Alaska as we only have about one more Halibut dinner left. Sesha kept telling me that daddy is a good cooker. She likes it when daddy cooks on the grill and lets her help. Then after dinner we set off some fireworks. So much for our scheduled bath and bedtime. Sesha had a blast holding the roman candles that we bought. Yeah we broke down and bought fireworks this year. We went to bed late and slept in a little bit this morning.
We decided that Sesha needs a pet. So we went shopping for some fish and a tank. We went to a pet store and she wanted a bird. Then she wanted a snake. The bird is a definite no but maybe a snake. I kinda liked the lizards they had, I just didn't like the prices of them. So maybe this weekend we will find something. I liked the idea of fish personally.
After the trip to the pet store we went out to breakfast at IHOP. (Sesha loves Pancakes so she said the whole way to IHOP). The kid taking our order was pretty nice. He brought out our drinks and brought Sesha a special twisty straw. Then she was sitting there being her cute self and he came back to our table and gave her a bracelet. It was pink and it made her day. Then he brought us out our food. Sesha poured strawberry syrup all over her pancakes and we put ketchup on her eggs. She ate all of her eggs, didn't touch her pancakes and told me she wanted more eggs. I told her to eat her pancakes and if she did I would get her more eggs she told me she was done eating. So the question is, does she really like pancakes or does she just like pouring the syrup...... More to come.
After we ate breakfast we drove to Draper and picked up Keirstin and went to sportsmans warehouse. She wanted to buy a gun. It was cute and guess what.... It was PINK. Daddy told her that just because she is a girl doesn't mean she can have a pink gun. I was fun watching her pick it out. She was trying on sunglasses and picking the guns that matched her glasses. She had finally decided on a pink pair of Princess glasses and a pink gun. Needless to say she is not going to get a pink gun. :( it was a sad day for her.
Well not much else happened other then she took a nap around 6 and she is still asleep. (it is 10:40PM) so hopefully she will sleep until morning.
We hope everyone had a wonderful 24th of July....

Hello,
Not much to report today. This weekend we were able to attend the Cox family reunion. We haven't been in such a long time. It was fun to see the family. We just went on Saturday to spend the day. Then Saturday night we went out with Chet and Julie. It was relaxing. We drove home Sunday morning.
Last night Shane and I decided to go out to a movie. We went to Indiana Jones. Man he is getting old. It was a good show.
Sesha is doing good. She is growing so fast. I painted her fingernails and toes this weekend and she kept telling me "grandma is going to be so proud"! I am not sure where that came from but it was funny how she kept saying it.
Yesterday morning was the first morning since the kids left that she got up and picked out her clothes to wear and didn't throw a fit. Maybe she is getting back on a schedule? Hopefully it will get back to normal around here with her.
Shane is still really busy at work. Me not so much, I have been getting off early. But that will soon change. Shane is busy in the summer and my work picks up in the winter. So it is a trade off.
