The Casons, Sleepy Times, and SHOOO-EEEE!

The other day we went up to the Hualapais, with my dad and Trudi and Coco, Tyra, Matt, his new wife Tiffany, and their kids Bailey and Cason.  That's right, Cason has a new cousin named Cason.  It helps that they call him Case and we call our boy Caso.

The girl, Bailey, is about to turn 6 and she and Paige get along SO well.  And "the Casons" as Paige calls them, are perfectly compatible too.  Cason has only ever met like ONE boy who was within a year of his age, and this Cason is definitely the first who liked to play the way OUR Cason does.  They both love robots and superheroes.  They ran around the playground in the mountains, saying they were "Spidermans".  They're instant best friends.  They all have so much fun together and don't fight at all, at least so far.  It's pretty awesome.  I failed to get pictures while we were in the mountains though.  :(  On the drive home Tyra gave Neely some of her bracelets to wear and I had her take a few pictures of Neely feeling pretty.  These are the only pictures I got of the day.
 Jess came home sick yesterday, and slept for several hours.  While he was sleeping, I went out back with Neely.  It was so quiet and peaceful, I just sat on the porch swing watching her slowly stir her "soup" with an unsharpened pencil.
She was so content, quietly "cooking", for quite a while.  Then she switched gears, taking a pillow from the porch swing, and a blanket, and going to have "Sleepy Times" as she tells me in the video.  I also like the part when she tells me "No, Yeah, YEP!"   That's a frequent answer lately, to most of my questions.
 
ONE more video, from first thing this morning.  After breakfast we went out front for a while.  Cason saw a bird, and started yelling "SHOO!"  (We told them to shoo away birds, when we first planted the grass out there, and they still think they need to scare away any birds that land in our yard.  Ha.)  Neely ran out and started yelling "SHOOOO-EEE!", trying to make her voice all deep and scary.  She's so funny.
