Keeping Crazy Man Happy...

ROCK HUNTING-


We live by the perfect place for a good rock hunt. I had Nixon collect his rocks in his old frogs' house. At first he wouldn't accept that because it was the frogs' NOT for his rocks. However, I did convince him and it turned out to be a great rock hunting container. 

Nixon's two frogs died while I was on a girls trip to St. George. His Daddy and Grandma Micci dumped the dead frogs in the river by our house. EVERY TIME we pass the river where they dumped them in the car he will always say, "HI FROGS!". Same goes for when we walk on the rive trail...he has to be tribute to his beloved frogs as well! Good thing he doesn't quite get that they are goners, rather he thinks they are just taking a REALLY long bath in the river!

Nixon yelling, "HI FROGS!"

Trying to find the frogs through the hole.

Nixon would NOT sit in the stroller and insisted on helping me push it. However, he started pushing a little TOO fast and tripped. He got a cut on his foot so he then wanted to ride in the stroller. I felt bad for the kid, but this little accident was kinda a blessing because I was not about to walk a mile back home with him thinking he was going to push the stroller (which ended up in the trees half the time). When he gets hurt or sad he always wants his 'T' (blanket), but we didn't have his 'T'...so he took Jack's instead. :S (Jack is the little baby I babysit)
