Day at Elitch's

We decided it would be fun to take Mason and Lily's buddy Wyatt(who has a brand new brother) for a sleepover and to Elitch's for the day. We took them on all the kiddy rides and played hard. We got ice cream, had lunch, and got splashed by watching the water ride (Mason got pretty wet). All the kids fell asleep on the way home...

Bowling Night

We promised Mason that we would take him bowling...what we did not realize is that it is so expensive to bowl on a Friday night! After taking out a small loan we got a pizza, soda, and a lane. The kids had so much fun! It was pretty funny watching them carry their 7lb balls to the lane and shove them down. Chris beat me bad, Lily was 2nd. And Mason was too busy jumping up and down! I remember the day when bowling was a fun but cheap thing to do...

Happy 6th Anniversary!

Chris and I celebrated our 6th Anniversary by taking the kids to Mimi and Papa's and going out to dinner. We went to Dinner Detective at the Broker and it was amazingly cool! Dinner mystery involving questioning general public as well as actors, ended up being directed at me! The actors kept pointing the finger at me "the innocent teacher/day care provider". Oh ya, and I got hit on by a 21 yr old BOY. Chris had fun with that one, and we laughed it off. I guessed the killer right but did not have all the facts straight. We would do that again, so much fun!

Garden View

I love the late spring when we go out and plant the garden. I look forward to the summer when I can look out the kitchen window and see all the splashes of color. Now, the kids and I harvest the veggies together. We also enjoy raising the Painted Lady butterflies every year and releasing them in the garden. The kids help me water the flowers and trees. This really is my favorite time of year.
