We took the kids to Thompson Park this morning for a bike ride. We put Gillian’s seat on my bike and the girls went cruising. Daddy stayed with John. We met up at the playground. The boys made it to the playground before us. John immediately said “We beat you here. We are faster than… Continue reading Bike ride
Once again on our way home from school, the kids and I discussed our days. Gillian was a good girl today. She napped (yesterday she didn’t nap). John proudly told me “I had no timeouts today!” He paused and then said “But I have something to tell you. I was on the yellow light today.”… Continue reading No ice cream
We have had a busy couple of days. I think my last blog post was on Thursday night after the rehearsal dinner. Let me apologize up front, this may be a long post. Friday night we had a barbecue at Mimi’s house. I had to meet up with the girls for a nail appointment, so… Continue reading The Wedding
Daddy’s brother, Travis, is getting married on Saturday. Gillian is the flier girl, John is the ring bearer, Daddy is a groomsmen and Mommy is a bridesmaid. Tonight we had the rehearsal.

John came home from school yesterday and said “me and Rashub, Gus, Nick and Eva are in Ninjago.” Daddy told him that was great and that he was happy that he and his friends were pretending to play Ninjago. John said “We aren’t pretending. We made a wish to be Ninjago for real.” Ninjago is a… Continue reading Ninjago
We took the kids swimming today. We put Gillian in a tube similar to John’s swim vest. Basically it’s a tube with a vest. Gillian loved it. She wasn’t afraid to get her face wet. As a matter of fact, she constantly put her face in the water. The big benefit of this tube is… Continue reading Water Baby

After bath time tonight we were having a dance party in John’s room. While we were dancing, Duncan ran out of the room and downstairs. Daddy and I looked out the window and saw Grandma and Grandpa’s car. We all went running downstairs and Gillian was yelled “Grandma!” John immediately started to perform. He ran… Continue reading Surprise Visit
Tonight Gillian pulled all the cushions off of the couch. She started jumping up and down on the cushion-less couch. She would jump up and land on her tushy and she would laugh. John noticed what she was doing and had to join her. The two of them jumped together and laughed. I know we… Continue reading Trampoline
Wednesday is water day at school. The teachers had a little pool and a beach ball sprinkler set up when I dropped the kids off at school. It was supposed to rain today so I didn’t think the kids would get a chance to play outside. I asked John tonight if he got to do… Continue reading Rain, desserts and Olympics
