Our little life...full of simple joys :)

This past Saturday night, we decided to babysit for a friend of mine, Lara. She has the most beautiful, sweet and smart little boy named, Neil. Her and her husband brought him over around 4:30pm and he stayed til' around 8:30 or so. He was so cute with Harper. Harper was a bit hyper and wanted to be all in his face and he would say, "Hopper, behave" or "I think Hopper needs to be put outside." He told us earlier in the night that he knew his name was "Harper" but he was going to call him "Hopper." He also called Darren, "Derrick", the whole night. Lara said he had an Uncle Derrick, thus the confusion. He played play dough with us and we watched Monsters vs. Aliens. Darren was more interested in the movie than Neil was.

The next day Lara told me that Neil was pretending to call us and talk to us on the phone. He would say, "I'm calling Crystal and Derrick" LOL.

Sunday afternoon we decided to take Harper to the dog park again. This trip was a little different than the first. There weren't as many dogs and they weren't as friendly as before. As soon as he came in this one big white dog grabbed him by his neck with his mouth and would not let him go. Normally we don't pay attention to that sort of thing because we know that's how they play but this one dog was just relentless. Every time Harper would try to get up he would push him back down with his mouth around his neck. Harper was doing the army crawl on the ground and crying. Finally with the other dogs owner just standing there, Darren picked Harper up and told him to go play with someone else because that dog was a meanie.

After a while we decided to go home and call it a night, I feel like we've had a pretty busy week. I have a pretty bad tooth ache this morning so I'm going to the dentist this afternoon then Darren is playing with the guys tonight and singing at the coffee house tomorrow night.

I would love for us to be able to make it to the state fair this year....Darren was suppose to sing in a wedding on Sunday but they backed out of having any music for financial reasons so maybe we can make it there then :)
