Gaylord Palms Get away!

Posted by Unknown | | Posted On Saturday, September 27, 2008 at 2:47 PM

Well, we survived my little birthday/family get away! It was so much
fun and also was nice to stay in such a nice resort, 4 Stars! Woo Hoo!
We played at the pool and walked around the Gaylord Palms resort which
has so much to see. We played in the game arcade games that move, way
more cool than when I was a kid. We also got to use the La Petite Kid
Care for a couple hours for the boys and they absolutely loved it!
There was this huge indoor play area and they also had toys galore in
all these cute different stations.......personally I wanted to stay and
play too! I think we will definitely have to return when Maggie Beth
turns 3 and she can attend too! The pool though was really great and
Hezekiah must have gone down the octopus slide a bagillion times!!! NO
KIDDING!! I got to got down a few of the times with him, but Page
mostly got the opportunity! Eli hung out with me and Maggie in the
shallow area of the pool. Maggie slept one day while we were out there,
but the next day she was a swimming away, what a little kicker! We also
had dinner in the Key West area at a place called Sunset Sam's Fish Camp
and we ate on the sail boat.........Page had a great dinner of scallops
and I had chicken............go figure! Our room was also beautiful and
we had a balcony view! Hezekiah said he wanted to stay for 44
days.........if we could only afford to!

Grandma & Papa Visit

Well, since my last post we had visitors and my birthday! Grandma and Papa came to visit and we had a lot of fun, except for me not feeling 100%. Thankfully, I am feeling better! We pretty much went swimming at Grandma and Papa's hotel pool the whole time they were here and the boys swimming skills were awesome! Maggie Beth got loved on by all and she enjoyed her Grams and Gramps very very much, since there were more hands around to be held and more lips to be given kisses! We had a great time! Thank you Grandma and Papa for visiting us!

Flat Bergen also went with us to Kid Fit, he got to meet Grandma and Papa and ate with us at Cracker Barrel and he even visited the pool. We also had Toot and Puddle visit with us for the weekend, that too was an adventure! We are preparing for our own family adventure to the Gaylord Palms and we are so very excited, it looks like more swimming will be in our future!

Flat Bergen comes to visit

Oh the places you will go with our family Flat Bergen! Today you went
to Hezekiah's school, to Wal-Mart with Eli and Maggie Beth, and also to
Eli's 3rd year check-up and Maggie Beth's 4 month check-up! You got to
witness Maggie get her shots. The people in the waiting room with us
thought we were quite strange taking a picture of you with Eli, but it
was fun and kept them wondering huh? We have made flat Eli and flat
Hezekiah and we will send them your way! We are looking forward to see
where you take us! I hope you check out our blog to see where you might
go later today or even tomorrow!!! You even got to go in Hezekiah and
Eli's room, but those pictures are on Page's camera!


This is such a cute idea! Thanks Lacey for sending flat Bergen to us!
How much fun we have already had!

I find it amusing.......

Hezekiah is cracking me up these days, the other day we caught him looking in the mirror making faces at himself. He would say, "Hey, who you looking at?" And then he would start laughing, he would make another face and say, "I'm Hezekiah, who are you?" It was very amusing. Page goes, "Gretchen, you have to see this."

He also has been coming up with these silly voices, that are totally cracking me up. He does high squeaky voices and then low voices and pretends he is somebody else or some crazy character or superhero. Like for example, he and Eli were pretending, and Hezekiah was red Spider man and Eli was gray Spider man and then Venom Saga was on the other side of the train table. Hezekiah would say in a deep scary voice, "Who's there? I am gonna get you Spider man." And then he would say in his Spider man voice, "Gray Spider man, Venom saga is going to try and get us, we better run and hide." I find his voices super funny. Four and a half is a funny age!!!

Swimming Lessons

Posted by Unknown | | Posted On Monday, September 8, 2008 at 11:45 AM

This morning we had swimming lessons. Hezekiah did so well! We were so
proud of him and how hard he worked. I initially wanted Hezekiah and
Eli to both do lessons, but Eli (I knew he may not do it) decided to by
pass the lessons today, poor guy. Hezekiah decided to go first and he
seemed to really enjoy himself. But I guess Page and myself told him
too much how proud we were of him and what a great job he did, because
he said, "I don't want you to say that to me anymore!" I guess we may
have over did it! :) Anyhow, Eli was happy to sit in mommy's lap and
watch while Maggie Beth slept and woke up and then decided to play! So
it was an early morning to the pool and then later we came back and
practiced in our little pool!
