Happy Wednesday! Welcome to the Summer heat!

Whew! I'm glad that I'm shedding pounds - it's hot out there! I know - I'm whining, and we haven't gotten anywhere NEAR the hottest part of the summer. I guess I still have enough Colorado blood in my veins that I thrive in the Winter!

Today I thought I'd just kinda give you a couple of funny family stories. You're actually getting these before the air audience, because I won't be sharing these on the air until later today!

Have a very blessed day, and I'll catch you on the radio later!

Today’s “Logan” Story…

Dinner time can be a real adventure when you have small children. Between trying to get one to eat her vegetables or the other one from trying to store macaroni in his nose – you’ve got to be on guard.

Last night we all just stopped and had to laugh. Logan was drinking some iced tea from a sippy, and he spilled a drop on the table. It must have been some great tea, because our son proceeded to bend down and SUCK the tea off of the table top!

It was the funniest thing I’ve seen in I don’t know how long.

I’m gonna have to start calling him “slurpee” or something…

Today’s “Ashleigh” Story…

We had another surprise from Ashleigh last night. She was riding bicycles with one of her little friends, and decided to try something new. Ash still has the training wheels on her little bike, but her friend doesn’t. Ashleigh comes bursting through the front door with a mile-wide grin and her little eyes just all lit up, saying, “Mommy! Daddy! I rode a bike on two wheels!”

Julie and I looked at each other and followed our daughter out the door, and sure enough – she had taught herself how to ride on two wheels with only a little help from her friend.

She’s not sure she’s ready to let go of the training wheels on her own bike, but I’m sure it’s going to be soon…

Today’s “Julie” Story…

My wife works hard. All day, every day – she’s hard at it, just to keep up with our children.

Today she got up, scrubbed out and re-inflated their little swimming pool, filled it – one bucket at a time from the kitchen sink, and got it all clean and ready for them to go swimming. She tracked down the kids, wrestled them into their swimsuits and got their pool toys together, and set them outside for a little splish-splashing.

And after about forty-five seconds in the water, both kids decided to so play in the dirt and rocks…soaking wet.

Yeah – my kids are the ones that will look at $100 in toys at Christmas and play with the cardboard boxes, too…

OH - ONE MORE VERY IMPORTANT NOTE - PLEASE READ THE STORY BELOW, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR LITTLE ONES ARE STILL SLEEPING IN A CRIB!

Maker Recalls About 320,000 Cribs

About 320,000 cribs sold at Toys R Us, Babies R Us, KidsWorld and Geoffrey Stores may not be safe.

The maker, Jardine Enterprises, recalled them because wooden crib slats and spindles can break, creating a gap, which can pose an entrapment and strangulation hazard to infants.

Many different styles and finishes are included in the recall, and a full list can be found at JardineCribRecall.com.

The cribs were sold January 2002 through May 2008 for between $150 and $300. One model, the Mahogany Positano Lifetime Crib, sold for $450.

A news release said consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cribs and contact Jardine to receive a full credit toward the purchase of a new crib.

Owners can call Jardine at (800) 646-4106 or visit the Web site for more information.
