Weeks 10, 11, & 12

March 8

Today was a hard day, I was not feeling well and
Daddy had to be at Camp Adventure all day and
night for meetings. We got to go to CA for dinner
and here you two are with Jonah throwing rocks
down the hill. Later that night I had the flu.
The one thing I remember is how well the two of
you did while I was sick.



March 9

Daddy and Oliver being silly at bath time.



March 10

The second Thursday of each month Oliver
gets to go to "Book Buddies" at the library.
We have a story time and then the parents leave
the room to go make a take home activity while
the kids get to have some creative learning time.
He loves this class. We always get to take
a hard cover book home to keep of the story from
the night. This night was pajama night and we
took home the book "Llama, Llama Red Pajama".
One of our new favorites.



March 11

This was a very fun evening for the two of us.
Steve and Gayle gave us a date night for Ryan's
birthday and we were finally able to cash it in.
After dropping the kiddos off with
GG and Poppie, we headed to the Melting
Pot. This was a new adventure for us. We had
filet mignon, ratatouille, duck, lobster tail and many
other fun treats.
A few hours later, however, Ryan and Sophie both
had the flu. It was a long night but thanks for GG
and Poppie.





March 12

Recovering from the night we had, GG and Oliver
work on making muffins for dinner. He is such
a good little helper.



After dinner, was bath time. Or was it swimming
time. Either way, they both got clean.



March 13

Our first and maybe last adventure to
Chuck E. Cheese's. Sophie is enjoying the
bike ride.



March 14

The 3 of us had a pretend campfire in the
front yard. We even had marshmallows on
straws. It was so much fun!



March 15

Poppie was here for a couple of days helping
daddy. Here he is taking a break to read a
story to the kids. Grace was enjoying the story
too.



March 16

Uncle Phillip came for the evening to visit and
have dinner. Here is everyone going for a
walk around camp.



March 19

One of mommy's dearest friends, Jayma
got married today to Dave. It was such a wonderful
day and they make a great couple.



March 21

Again, Oliver having fun in the bathroom. He
is getting good at brushing his teeth.



March 22

Our neighbor from our old house and good
friend Marian came over for lunch. Afterwards,
Sophie and Marian played card games together.



March 23

This was an exciting (and hard) day. We went
to the Ark Preschool Open House to sign Oliver
up for preschool. Sophie will be in the older preschool
class and Oliver will be in the younger class.
How time flies.



March 24

My mops group is the "Orange" group. Our
last meeting we played "Minute to Win It" and
as you can see from the score board, we won
and had so much fun doing it.



March 25

We had a camp out in the family room tonight
with popcorn and marshmallows. We watched
"Stewart Little" and slept out there all night.
Can't wait to do this again.



March 26

Alexis and Jonah invited us over for a cookie
decorating party. Yum and fun!



March 26

I got to have a girls night out with some ladies
from Mops. We went to a fashion show and it
was such a great time. It was just like being in
the big city, well as close as we are going to get
to the big city.



March 27

Just about when I was ready to have a melt
down from being so tired, Oliver goes and does
something so cute that makes me laugh. Giving
me the energy to keep going. He was pretending
to be a ghost. I just love him!

Week 9

March 1

Still stuck spending most of our time indoors
we are having to come up with some creative
ways to have fun. Here S and O have
bowls of black eyed peas and it kept them busy
for a couple of hours over a 3 day span.
Who knew this is all it took???



March 2

This week at story time with Mrs. Pam,
the topic was lions and tigers. This is Sophie
with Mrs. Pam after craft time.



March 3

We had a wonderful surprise today. Sophie's
friend Caroline showed up with a doll house
and all it's furniture and people. Caroline is a
few years older than Sophie and is ready to pass
a long her doll house. Sophie was so excited and
has not stopped playing with it. Sophie is now
sharing her special doll house that Papa &
Grandma refurbished for her last year with
Oliver.



March 4

The kids and I spent the night at Grandma and
Papa's. Blake and Ava were over for the evening.
Papa made the kids "Rock Star" (as Blake called
them) milkshakes. As you can see, they are a
hit.


March 5

Playing with Papa's trains has become a
necessity when at their house.



March 6

We made a special trip to a Meijer store and
Sophie swooned me into buying her the most
expensive dress I have ever bought her. You
should see how pretty she looks in it.



March 7

While Grandma & I were shopping we couldn't
pass up on craft deals. Grandma bought these
for the kids and today they colored them. I
thought Oliver would be so excited about the
pirate but his first comment was, "I want two
eyes." But he quickly got over that and into
the pirate mode.
