Messy Me

Yesterday I took the kids to my Messy Me class that I teach through the Parks Dept. It was great fun and for sure my kids know how to get messy.

Houston We Have A Problem...

Umm. This is not good. Emmit ends up in our bed each night. YIKES. What are we doing?

I have to admit though it is kind of cute. Seeing him so sound in his sleep next to his da da.

Summer, Summer , Summer Time...

Hope you all enjoyed the weekend sun and got to roll your windows down.

My Majestic Mother's Day

I had the most Majestic Mother Day. Woke up to coffee, cards, flowers, hanging baskets, new running shoes and a date with my family for brunch. We all put on our Sunday best and ate with our pinkys up at the very posh Majestic Inn, located in the heart of A-Town. It was a beautiful day. Thank you Grace, Emmit and Josh for spoiling me today.
Love you all to the moon and back.





P.S. A extra shout out needs to go to the kids for not breaking anything at the table.

A voluntarily- observed holiday...

Say what? Cinco de Mayo in my home since college has always been a mandatory celebration and I plan on keeping it that way at least until Emmit is finished with college...

According to the encyclopedia, Cinco de May is a voluntarily- observed holiday that commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over the French.

Well whatever the reason we celebrated with our favorite family The Swapps and ate and maybe drank ( OK just I drank) a little too much for the middle of the week.

Emmit's Swim Class

Last night was Emmit's first swim class. He loved the water and had such a great time. I think even Josh had a good time as well. Josh was not the only dad in the water our friend Shaun was in the water with his daughter Brooklyn. She did not like the water as much.


Which way is the weight room boys?

Wenatchee Weekend

This past weekend we spent over in beautiful Wenatchee visiting Josh's family. The kids were loving every minute of it. Jessica ( Josh's cousin) was the Queen of the Wentachee Riders, so Grace of course was all over her all weekend long.

First Report Card

Grace completed her swim class last night and recived her first report card. We were so proud of her and she was proud of herself as well.
Good job Grace.
We will be signing up for another level one class real soon.

30lbs of Rucksack...

I feel bad for Emmit. I feel like we hardly used our Kelty Back Pack with him. So this past weekend I decided to be real adventurous with him and wash my car with this 30lb of rucksack on my back. BOY was he heavy.

Please excuse my I just worked out then washed my car look I was going for on Sunday.

Wish Us Luck

This is my great attempt to teach Grace how to garden and most important how important eating fruit and vegtables is.

FYI- Grace will use the same carrot stick to eat an entire bowl of ranch salad dressing. Do I need to say more.

Wish us luck on our garden.

Caught

Emmit is often caught on the kitchen room table. Great parenting right? Well it takes him like 3 seconds to shimmey up there. He is crazy!

Jackson Turned 5

Jack turned 5 a few weeks ago. Peter and Angie gave him a great party at McDonalds. It lasted like an hour too long, but I think the kids enjoyed all the running around. Grace dosen't look so big standing next to her big cousin Jack.

Q & A With Grace

I know it's been over a week since my last post. What is happening to me? I have so many things I want to post about, but never make the time to getting it done. Am I alone? Are there other out there just like me?

You know you can really find out a lot about your kids, all you have to do is ask. Next time we will take the questions to a deeper level.
BTW all these questions were asked this morning to Grace as I was basically wrestling her to put her pants and socks on. The questions distracted her a little, but we were both out of breath by the end of this getting ready in the morning by 7:30am process.

Mom- Grace what is your favorite color?
Grace- Purple & Pink

Mom- Grace what is your favorite food?
Grace- Bread

Mom- Grace what do you want to be when you grow up?
Grace- Still a giant. ( Note sure what this means)

Mom- Grace was is your favorite cartoon character?
Grace- Kaou (sp?) Sprout Channel people check it out if you don't already

Mom- Grace who is your best friend?
Grace- Natalie ( sorry Ty!) We will work on you being her boyfriend.

Emmit's 15 month check up

Weight- 30.4lbs- 95.5%
Height- 33 inch- 90%
Head- 49.5cm- 95.5%

Emmit is growing fast and doing well. Emmit also received three shots. He cried. Then gave the doc a few high fives.

Emmit loves oranges and throwing all other food on the floor. He lovesto pull himself up onto tables and then leap into your arms. Totally not safe. He loves his sister and he loves to give the kisses, followed by a slap to the face. Totally normal for this age.

Emmit also likes to vaccum. Not sure where he learned this wonderful skill...

And yes Emmit my love you still sleep in your car seat. The doc thought this was funny and kind of different.

We love you little man.
