Many of these happy flowers are popping open at my house.

Fun and Friends 7.1.11
Vincent's besst friend, without a doubt, is Miss Paige. He loves her so much and always wants to see her. He gets more excited about seeing her than anyone else and usually the two of them don't get tired of each other. Occasionally they'll hit their limit, but most of the time they're pretty happy campers. Paige and Vin had a playdate the other day. Here are a few cute snapshots of them.

First Visit to Six Flags
My friend Heidi invited Vincent and I to Six Flags. She has a season pass, so we were able to go using her coupons making it relatively affordable. Vincent has never been to Six Flags. He has been to the local fair and enjoys the rides there.
He really loved Six Flags and had a blast with his friend Paige.
Vincent wanted to ride every ride. Unfortunately, he was a little too short for some, and a lot too short for others.
He ended up riding every ride in the kid's park, as well as the bumper cars, Mine Train, Scrambler, Moon Cars, Log Flume and Thunder River. Oh, and the Farris wheel. He couldn't pick a favorite, but after each one he wanted to go again.
The awesome part is that it was on a Wednesday afternoon, so it wasn't that busy. Some of the rides didn't have a line, so they didn't even have to get off or they could get off the ride then immediately get back on.
It was a really nice day, so we decided to focus on the theme park and not the water park.
I have a lot more, but apparently I only uploaded a few to Flickr, so this will have to suffice.
Vincent is already asking when we can go back!

Missing My Boy...
It's been awhile since I've updated this. With nicer weather I've been outside a little more.
I'll try to get caught up.
Gary's mom had been planning a vacation with her three grandsons, including Vincent. The day school ended, they headed to her house. I'd like to say I got a ton done, went out or did something crazy...but I didn't. Honestly, I missed my boy like crazy. Everyone kept telling me to go out and enjoy my "time off."
I did get to see Hangover II on a double date with my best friend and her husband. I also made cookies with my sister. Sure, I cleaned...but having a perfectly clean and organized house reminded me that no one was there to mess it up! Pathetic, huh? The truth is, I've never been a partier. Gary and I are both homebodies and actually enjoy spending time together, at home. I know it's crazy. We even talk about stuff, every day.
The most exciting thing I did? I took off the baby locks off the cabinets! It's about time! Vincent has been able to open them for years. I also organized the kitchen, but more on that another time.
I struggled with not going to see Vincent the first weekend he was gone, but unfortunately, our 150 gallon fish tank started leaking all over and we ended up having to take care of it. It wasn't too bad before we discovered the leak, but the water still leaked through our wood floors into the basement and knocked down a bunch of ceiling tiles. :s Oh, and we had a bunch of homeless fish. Luckily, we had an 80 gallon tank in the garage that didn't sell in a yard sale a few weeks prior. It served as a (cramped) temporary home. Only one fish was murdered because of the lack of space...It was sad, but I'm glad only one died. Gary really likes the fish.
After 10 whole days G and I went to pick up Vincent. When we got there the boys were eating hail balls... and loving it. I was so glad to have my little sidekick back! I don't even care if he leaves toothpaste in the sink and doesn't pick up his toys...He sure does make life a lot sweeter. I don't know what I'd do without him!
