Sledding

Ok, so this must be the smallest hill ever. But the kids loved it, and we didn't even have to leave the yard!

Preschool

Well, where do I begin. Owen enjoys preschool, just not the part when I leave. The teacher says he’s good and has fun. He even tells us about what he did ... if we ask a million questions. He got to be the helper once so far. There's about 10 kids in his class so they’re on a ten day rotation for being helper. We had a picnic dinner there one night and then the following week we had dinner again for new families. His teacher’s name is Mrs. Boyd which we all love, because it’s so easy for him to remember.

6 years

Our 6 year anniversary is today. We plan on a date night next Saturday. Sean's cosuin got married this weekend. Owen and Cameryn were so excited that they got to play with Sean's little cosuin Megan at the Reception.

We went to the zoo today, what a beautifully cool day.

Cameryn's Baptism

What a cute little service. I think it took about 5 minutes. Cameryn was being very shy and we couldn’t get any smiles out of her.

Kids being kids

Sound asleep...but not for long

Looks can be deceiving. Cameryn passed out in the truck on the way home, and Sean put her on the couch. I thought she looked so cute that I just had to take a picture. Then she woke up at 8:30 pm full of energy. It wasn't so cute when she refused dinner, then changed her mind at 10:00pm and decided she was starving, and then stayed up until past 10:30pm. What a crazy night!

Downtown Passport

We were tourist in our own town. The kids weren't impressed but Sean and I enjoyed looking around. We ended the day with bedtime stories in the yard.

Itsy Bitsy Spider

Owen's watching for the Itsy Bitsy Spider to come down.

Cameryn and Dorothy, Dorothy and Cameryn

This about sums it up. Cameryn loves Dorothy the Dinosaur!

The Carrot Man

At lunch today we were eating apples, and with the Johnny Appleseed Festival around the corner I decided to share that story with Owen. When I was done he quickly started his story about Johnny’s friend the Carrot Man. The Carrot Man uses dirt, rain, and sunlight to grow carrots in the ground, and the Easter Bunny like to eat those carrots. I love his imagination!

Tongue, Eye, and Brain

On the way to church Owen read a sign that said "Watch for ICE on bridge". At bedtime we were talking about our day, and I praised him for knowing how to read that sign. He said "Yeah, well my tongue helps me say the words, my eyes help me see the words, and my brain make me smart to read the words." So I guess it was a group effort to read the sign.

What a busy day

We planned way too much for today. It started at Fun Spot Park. Owen loved it and did great on the rides. Owen even rode three big rides with me. Although he would not ride the Scooby Doo swings. He attempted twice but each time he panicked and needed off the swing. Cameryn also made it in the swing once, but panicked. Other than the carousal Cameryn would not ride a single ride.


After that we went across the street to Sean’s friend’s lake house. The kids absolutely loved the lake. They could have splashed around that lake all day. Next time well have to allow more time to enjoy. Owen even got to drive the boat. On a sad note we were swimming at the same spot were a man died just minutes after we were there.


Then we were off to the Wizards game. Grandpa Mike’s work had a family night. The kids enjoyed some yummy food and snacks, playing on the playground, and got balloon animals. The poor balloon animals never seem to last long. Cameryn popped her pink flower on the way to the car. Owen had his blue elephant disassembled the next day. Maybe we can talk Sean into learning how to make balloon animals so we have a constant supply.

Pop go the Wiggles LIVE

We had a great time at Pop go the Wiggles LIVE. Our camera is broke so we had to use a disposable camera. I still have to finish off the second camera and get those developed before I can share any pictures. And our printer/scanner is broke so we'll have to figure that out before I can scan in pictures. We're not having very good luck on the technology side of life. Owen got a Captain Feathersward hat and sward. Cameryn got a Dorothy hat and tail. (Along with shirts, and a Dorothy doll) They were up all night running around being Captain and Dorothy.

My 1st Tattoo

Well, I finally did it. It still looks pretty gross I'll have to post a new picture once it heals a little more.

3rd Place

Here's Owen with his 3rd Place trophy from Saturday's Ivy Tech Mustang Show. Sean said that because Owen was such a great helper cleaning "Daddy's noisy car" that Owen could keep the trophy on his shelf in his room.

Owen had a rough weekend this past weekend. Friday night he crashed Cameryn's pooh bike and got pretty banged up. Then on Saturday during the awards at the Ivy Tech show Owen got stung by a bee. He bounced back just fine though.

Two Thumbs Up from the Dentist

The kids had their dentist appointments this morning. He said they both have good teeth. He said Owen needs to start flossing (sounds like a challenge) and Cameryn has four back teeth coming through (ouch). They did really good and are very excited about their toothbrushes and toothpaste.
