No Pictures, Just a Post on National Pirate Day

So, it was beautiful today in KC. Bright and sunny with a high in the 80's and low humidity...light breeze to round it out...B E A U T I F U L!!! Josh and I took the kiddos to the park near the zoo to enjoy some pizza and fun. The kiddos love going to the park so it was just perfect.
After showing London the stairs twice, he figured out he didn't need anyone to help him get to the slides. He is a big boy and he can do it by himself. He would climb up the stairs, choose his slide and then ride down feet first or head first...one time it was feet first, but he went on his tummy instead of bum. It was really great! He is only 16 months old and has figured out how to do so much by himself! The most joyous (and I mean real true joy) was hearing him laugh as he slid down each time. He thinks the slide is just the greatest invention in the whole world and he lets you know it.
On the potty front, CeKariya now owns big girl panties. She wore them today at preschool. (She wears a pull-up from home to school because it takes about an hour to get there since I drop of Jamion and Josh first.) She went all day (even THROUGH nap time) completely dry until the end. She was on her way from outside to the potty but didn't make it in time. I'd say 8 hours in big girl panties at the age of 2 years 2 months is pretty darn good! Now, if we could just get CJ on the same page as her...
So, lastly, today is National Pirate Day or so I heard on the radio. I took a quiz to see what my pirate name would be. You're reading a blog by Bloody Bess Flint! Every pirate lives for something different. For you, it's definately the fighting. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky...Think it has anything to do with me being Scottish Irish?
Enjoy!

Updates, Updates, Updates

So, it's been a while since I've updated my blog and many things have happened since then. I've loaded some little clips for you all to see what I've been up to since my last post...keep in mind that Josh and I are boring. If these little clips don't make you happy or inspire feels of excitement...that's fine. Enjoy!

First Show - GOM2010: In March we took girls from our church down to Camp Windermere in Roach, Missouri. GOM stands for Girls on Mission and it is a program that is held yearly and brings missionaries from all over the world to Roach to discuss what they do in service for God. It is also a time of fun and bonding for the girls!

Second Show - Trip to NJ: I had the chance to go to Panasonic North America Headquarters to meet with their Toughbook tech support team for some training. It was a great time as I had never been to New Jersey. I was lucky enough to get a city view room (after asking) and while we didn't have time to go anywhere but to HQ and the hotel, it was a great trip.

Third Show - The Park: The Overland Park Arboretum is a great place to go for walks. Aunt Marty, Joe, Josh and I had the chance to go out on beautiful day for a three hour walk and then some ice cream (not in any of the pictures).

Fourth Show - The Zoo: Josh and I renewed our membership at the KC Zoo. The zoo is a great place to go for walks, talks, and it's a great place to look at animals!

Fifth Show - Royals vs Twins: We received two free tickets to the Royals vs Twins game last Sunday. It was very chilly, but the Royals won!

Sixth Show - Baptisms: God is still alive and moving within our world! Two girls that I've had a chance to teach, tutor, and poke and prod were baptized today. Praise God!
