Our Happenings

This is what's been happenin' here at the Ricks.  Some happenings took place a couple of weeks ago but I didn't want to blog about just one thing so now that I have multiple random things to blog about, here you go.

First, Jocey loves her phones.  She has a couple of toy phones and she loves to talk on them.  But she especially loves when we let her talk to family on our real phones.  She talks/yells at them forever.  And it's so funny to see how animated she gets and how much she jibber jabbers.  I posted a video a few weeks back of her talking to Dave on the phone so you can go here to watch it.

She was apparently being generous with her phone time.

Next, I've posted pictures in the past of Jocey and her messy eating but let's be honest, we love those kind of pics.  So here's another.  She loves pastas and really goes to town.


A couple of weekends ago, Matt, Dave's youngest brother, had an Ultimate Frisbee Tournament at a park in our neck of the woods so Jocey and I decided to go watch.  It was such a hot day but we were able to stay in the shade and watch a game.   They were the only high school team there and the rest were all college groups.  They didn't win but they had fun.  I realized that Ultimate Frisbee has their own culture.  After a game, the give a spirit award to the other team and they have cheers etc.  It was fun but totally different.

Matt is right in the middle with the blue shirt, blue shorts, and white shoes.  This is the best action shot I got.

Next, every once in a while Jocey gets to play with her friend Elise.  She came over to our house and sometimes they don't always get along very well but this last time they did so well together and I got some cute pictures of them playing together.

Leg exercises?

I told you Jocey loves her phone.  I love how they look like they are talking to each other on the phone.

This past Friday night, my friend Christine and I, had a small girls getaway.  Dave and Jocey went over to play with Tyler and Grant and us girls went and got pedicures.  It was so nice.  This is only the second time I've gotten a pedicure.  And they had massage chairs to sit in.  Woot woot!  We definitely want to do these kinds of things more often.  We picked up dinner on the way back to the husbands and kids and ate.  Then we put the kids to bed and we played games into the wee hours of the night.  I am a night person but I was so grumpy the next day.  I guess I'm just not as young as I once was.  Sorry Dave.

 I splurged and got flowers on my toes.

Last is Jocelyn's nursery experience.  Her first attempt wasn't perfect but she did okay.  She lasted until almost the end of the second hour of church.  They brought her into me and said that she was crying and knocking on the door saying "dada."  So I went back into nursery with her and sat in there for a little bit.  I snuck out but they brought her to me again maybe 15 or 20 minutes later.  I just kept her this time because I had to teach and couldn't go sit with her and Dave was gone that day.  Well today was her second attempt and she did it!  They said they had to make several trips to the water fountain to keep her happy but she stayed.  And below is her first nursery picture.  I'm such a proud mama right now.  We have a big girl in the house.
