Connor Visit Part #2

Thursday was a hang-out in the morning day...just doing a little jammin on the guitar...


and mid-morning we headed up to see Mommom Ritter.  Nothing like having 3 active kiddos in a small apartment, but it was okay :)


We had a nice lunch at Applebees, met up with my mom for a wander-around-Target and then headed home for naps.  Laura and I took the kids to the pool that evening, and Chloe will proudly tell you that she jumped in and can breathe under water...with Aunt Laura.  No One Else.


Friday we did bubbles and outside playing in the morning...a Pinterest idea that actually worked - covered the cut-off end of a water bottle with an old washcloth, dipped it in bubbles, and then the kids blew through the top of the bottle.  It created a bubble...blob :) and it was fun!



Uncle Kevin got a new helper with the lawn cutting!

This was probably around 11 in the morning...and it was already 85 degrees. Hot Hot Hot.


Since Kevin had the day off, we took advantage and during lunch met up with my mom and sister to celebrate our birthday.  Our waitress was nice to put a candle in the cheesecake we ordered!



On Saturday, we hung out at home....then went to a spray-park after grabbing some lunch at Wendy's.  The spray part of the park wasn't working (motor broken) so we just played on the Hot Hot Hot playground instead.  These children could care less than it's 95 degrees! There are fun things to do!  Chloe did take a short break to hang with Aunt Laura in the shade... 

These two partners-in-crime wanted nothing to do with taking breaks....



While I had given Kevin a hard time for not coming with us, it turns out he was hard at work cleaning and prepping for a birthday dinner at our house!  My parents and sister came down and we had a fun time celebrating!




There were cupcakes for the kiddos....and those cupcakes were enjoyed. and devoured.




Bedtime stories were getting more and more crowded :)  The more the merrier I say!

It was so so much fun to have Connor come stay with us - I want to do it again next summer! :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Mexico 2025 ;)

 After a year of not blogging, I'm making this post as an attempt to restart :)  We went on a family vacation back in February that was wonderful. It was a good time of year to travel and the picture above is from the first day. We got to the resort at lunchtime, threw on the swimsuits, and then had a dinner reservation at 6! So it was a jam-packed day but everyone was thrilled! We enjoyed time at the pool, the kids grew more confident in speaking Spanish and ordering drinks, and each night was a great dinner & ice cream at the little coffee shop :) Everyone has said they would go back :)  Maybe some day!
