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! :)

Home Decorating

Every so often, I get the urge to re-decorate our entire house. Since that's not really a possibility, I usually just end up changing some pictures or decorations. I was inspired by this post (the blog was found on the side-bar of my cousin's blog ), I thought I'd make a 3-D wall hanging of my own: I might keep it, I might give it as a gift....not sure yet - but I like it! Our downstairs bathroom was in need of a little "perk-up" so I made two coordinating frames to lighten things up: Now this isn't really home decorating....but I'm still including it :) Chloe recently acquired some fancy 4th of July hair clips from Aunt Michelle/Grandma B. She needed the perfect dress to match those clips, so I found some fabric and made one! Check back at the beginning of July for pictures of Chloe wearing this dress! :) My need for creating might have been calmed by these projects...or maybe it's only encouraging me to do more!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...
