Update!!!!

Welcome to another performance of the Wagner Circus. It has been one heck of a whoorling weekend! We decided Friday afternoon about 3 p.m that we were going to go to Peru for the weekend sooooo it was kind of chaotic getting things ready for that.

I hadn’t planned on going to Peru on the weekend so my home wasn’t “ready to leave” condition if that makes sense. I have a ton of laundry scattered all over our bedroom floor and the laundry room was piled as well so I did what most people do and I took “essentials” to my mother-in-laws and she did our laundry J Thank you Helen! She actually did the girl’s laundry, Tait and I have enough clothing that we didn’t have the “need” right away but the girls their clothes are kind of limited especially Lehna’s wardrobe so I had to bring all of hers and I grabbed Maya’s as well b/c I didn’t want her to mold b/c of the nasty formula that gets on her clothing. So Helen was very kind and did the girl’s laundry and she also did the stuff we wore all weekend.

So after work I got home to get the house picked up b/c we had the missionaries scheduled to come over and to start packing. By the time Tait got home I had gotten the house picked up and the girls packed. Then Tait and I packed at the same time to get things ready. We had planning on barricading the dogs in the kitchen again so we got things ready for that as well and by the time the missionaries got there we were ready to go. So after they left we left shortly after them.

Lehna was so excited to go to Peru to visit her Nana and Papa. Lehna and Maya were both good for the most part when we visited them. Tait got to go to the race track on Saturday night and we played golf on Saturday morning. We didn’t go to church and I felt a little guilty for that but other than that we had a good time.

When we got home Lehna wanted to wear big girl panties. Landyn is currently wearing underwear so she saw him wearing them all weekend and asked to wear them. So I promptly put them on her. I mean if she’s willing to wear them then I’m willing to put them on her. And she didn’t have an accident all evening. Then the next day Lehna asked to wear them to daycare. Again wasn’t going to deny. On Monday she had 3 accidents so that wasn’t very successful. But so far the rest of this week she has had NO MORE ACCIDENTS at daycare. She did have an accident last night but that was it. They said at daycare she’s asking to go potty so I’m VERY proud of my Lehna.

Maya is really growing like a weed she has moved into 6 month clothing already. I put away her smaller clothes not b/c she can’t fit into them anymore but b/c I have some many summer clothes that I’m ready for her to wear. This morning I caught the little rat trying to sit up on her own. She’s such a happy baby she really reacts when you talk to her. She just smiles and kicks her little legs it’s just amazing how happy she is. I don’t want her to grow up very quickly though b/c I don’t know if Tait and I will have any more children. She’s just a pumpkin baby I know that sounds odd but she’s small and round. I just can’t believe how content she is just sitting in her baby seat or swing just observing what’s going on. She’s a good baby very easy, of course this probably means she’s going to be a hard teenager but right now I enjoy her. Oh the idea of having teenagers… YIKES and teenage girls on top of that DOUBLE YIKES! I’m glad I have a few more years before I have to worry about that. I’m just glad that they don’t come out as teenagers at least I have a few years to prepare.

This weekend sounds like it might be busy as well. Tanna and I have decided to take all four munchkins to get their pictures taken together… Tanna will probably agree that when we took just Lehna and Landyn to get their pictures taken that it was QUITE A CHORE I can safely say it was awful. So I don’t know why we think that we can manage two MORE children and get them cooperate all at the same time. I guess we are just gluten for punishment. I know that when we took Lehna to get her two year pictures she was horrible. So I don’t know if she will cooperate or not… I hope for the better but I’ll prepare for the worst if we can’t get them altogether then oh well. I just want Maya’s picture to be cute. We are also going to have Maya and Decklyn’s picture taken together so that will be cute. Then we were invited for a family get together in Williamsport this weekend as well so we will be attending that if all goes well.

I don’t think we have anything going on for Sunday yet… but it’s only Thursday.

Well that’s all that life is right now. Busy and not busy all at the same time. I enjoy busy though helps keep me out of trouble!

Another Two Week Update

Okay so I haven’t been really good on keeping this blog update but I have been trying to do it in like two week intervals… so this maybe a bit longer then normal b/c I have so much to say so much has happened.

The first weekend in June we had a lot of family over. The reason why is b/c Tait was baptized on Saturday and we had Maya’s blessing on Sunday at church so we had family that came to participate in the craziness.

Tait was baptized on Saturday and it was a very nice ceremony. He did have to go twice b/c the missionary messed up the prayer and when they dunked him his entire body didn’t get under he was missing his upper hand. Then the second time they did it everything went off without a hitch. The only true problem was is the baptismal font is new to this church so the time filling the water it was supposed to be a like an hour and a half so it was only like ½ full so the missionary struggled a little bit with Tait and helping him back up. The floor is really slippery anyways and when the tank is only ½ full makes it a bit more difficult. After the baptism we went back to our home where my grandmother provided quite a spread of sandwiches and chips for us all to enjoy.

On Sunday we then all went to church for Tait’s confirmation and also for Maya’s blessing. The bishop said that it was definitely a Wagner Show and he was right. After church we then went to the park for a BBQ and some family fun. I don’t have pictures of the events b/c I was just too busy I did bring my camera I just didn’t take any pictures.

Lehna & Maya

So this past weekend we went to the Strawberry festival which is in Crawfordsville. WE have lived her for the past four years and we had yet to attend the festival but we figured now that Lehna was a bit older and we had Maya that it would be a good opportunity for us to enjoy the tradition.

Lehna playing Plinko

Lehna had a blast I think we played some games. Some we cheated at b/c she was so young but she got some jewelry and candy. I tried to interest her into getting into one of those inflatable castles but she wouldn’t really hear of it. She didn’t want anything to do with it. But we put her on the pony rides and at first I took her and she was so scared she clung to me as we walked around in the circle but by the time the ride was over she was sitting by herself and holding onto the saddle. She said she had a good time.

After we took her to the children’s part we went to go get something to eat. I was really hoping to get some strawberry shortcake since it was the strawberry festivle but we had a heck of a time finding it. So we tired strawberry tacos instead and they were pretty tasty. There was a band that played so we watched that for a little bit and I tired to convince Lehna to dance but she really didn’t want to so I didn’t push the issue. After we got done eating a quick lunch we went to the Colt’s Caravan which they had a few things on display and that was kind of fun looking at that stuff. They had this thing where you could guess the different referee signals and I didn’t do to well. I thought I knew the signs but I was wrong on so many of them and some of them I didn’t even know what they were signaling.

We then went to go back on the horses again b/c Lehna kept asking to go back on them so we did that after the stop at the Colt’s Caravan. Lehna was so excited to get on the ponies and was just jumping with excitement.

Colt's Caravan

The strawberry festival was about like Circus City Days except it was smaller. I did enjoy that all the food places were in one location and the kids section was also in it’s own section that made it nice. So I definitely want to take Lehna to circus city days come July so she can have fun at that carnival as well.

Tait & Lehna

That was pretty much our weekend. It was busy but it was fun. Next weekend is Father’s Day and we have convinced Julie, Jackie’s Sister, to watch our rugrats so we can go out to dinner and watch a movie. It’s been a while since we have seen a movie so it will be nice to have date.
