trip to Owensboro and uncle janet

We got home yesterday afternoon from visiting our friends, Brad and Codie, in Owensboro, KY. I have only great memories of our time together except for the fact that I ate junk food like there was no tomorrow! (Codie, thanks again for the two loaves of brownie bread and the extra large chocolate chip peanut butter cookies!!!) Codie planned a little MSU reunion on Friday night so we were able to see lots of old college buddies and their families! I think there were 7 couples, 10 kids (all under 4), and one baby girl on the way! I could kick myself that we don't have a picture of that sweet time! We were all too busy catching up to think about getting our cameras out.

The four hour road trip went by relatively fast especially because we spent the second half singing 70's hits from our 70's Veggie Tales CD. If you don't have it, I recommend it. It makes car rides (both long and short) really fun! Per Ty's request, we spent the second half of our trip singing the same two songs: "Locomotion" and "Proud Mary," which he calls, "Rollin'" (you should see him bopping around in the back seat and hear him singing, "Rollin' on the river...do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do..." It's the cutest thing.

One other recent Ty-ism is that he sometimes calls us by our first names. It started around Christmas because he heard our nephew, Dylan, referring to Corey as "Uncle Corey." For a few days daddy became "Uncle Corey" and I even inherited the title, "Uncle Janet." As of late, Ty goes around saying to himself (and whoever is listening), "Other people call her Janet. That's her name is." :)

That's cute that Ty requested that song. I remember singing the Tina Turner version a lot in high school...Nathan's favorite song to request is "Jingle Bell Rock." I've had to start telling him I don't know where the CD is (which is true unless I actually think about it, which I don't, so I don't feel like I"m lying!).
