The Past Week

Dave has been in CA the past week for an intensive seminar....I wasn't sure how the week would go; fast, super slow, somewhere in between?

I thought I would get a lot of projects done...at least that is what I'd hoped.

I did get the house cleaned up, (well kind of)
cared for a food-poisoned 4 year old,
bought a NEW TV!!, (which involved going to 4 stores w/ all 3 kids)
had 4 HS friends and our 8 kids over to play,
took Jake to Vacation Bible School,
worked out at the gym,
went to a bonfire with my HS girlfriends,
bought a new rug for the sunroom,
brought Sydney to gymnastics,
carried the new TV into the house and got it setup,
took the kids to Friday's for lunch to celebrate Father's Day,
had Dairy Queen ice cream cake w/ at my father-in-law's house,
6 loads of laundry,
I'm meeting some girls for dinner tonight, and then picking up my honey from the airport.

(I know I am missing so things we did, but I really can't remember, things are kind of blurring) The kids were great, but missed their daddy. Jake asked me on day 4 when his dad was going to be home because he REALLY missed him....sweet!

I'm excited to hear about Dave's week and hang out with him! It is the longest we've been away from each other since 1996!

Maybe tomorrow I'll go to bed super early and rest!!!!!

CHEERS TO DADDY @ FRIDAYS BELOW:

Summer has began!!!

Let the summer time fun begin! I'm so looking forward to all the fun the summer brings. Playing outside, trips to the cabin, boating, time at the beach, going to the park, playing with lots of friends, vacation bible school, soccer/t-ball camp, planting flowers, pulling weeds, riding bikes, water guns, oh, it will all be so much fun!!

Farm School Picnic

Sydney loved going to preschool at the Children's Farm Preschool this year. It is so up her alley; being outside so much and being able to help take care of the animals. Whenever I've asked her what her favorite thing to do at farm is, she always says the same thing; riding the horses. Personally, I think holding the baby kittens is a very close second. She made some great friends in the class! She is sad she can't go there all summer. I decided not to do the summer camps they offer this year, and try some different activities.

Happy 6th Jacob!

Really, Jacob you are 6! Wow! Over the past year, Jake has grown and matured a lot. He is amazing with Regan, douting on her really. He is always checking on her to make sure she is happy, and has what she needs. Jake is always wondering what Papa is doing next door. Jacob is really excited to put his new fishing pole to work this summer! Grandpa Doug, we'll be up to visit soon, and you can teach him the ropes again.
