Ice Skating - June 16, 2012

Montana trip - June 8-12, 2012

Roger couldn't get enough time off work to come this year, so the kids and I bummed a ride with Linda and her kids.

Baseball - June 6, 2012

Wednesday - June 6, 2012

Parker had a baseball game today.  It's fun that Parker gets to play baseball this year.  He loves it and he does a pretty good job.  The girls get a little bored, so they play on the playground.

A Party at Linda's House - June 2, 2012

Saturday - June 2, 2012

We had a lot of fun playing at Linda's house today.  The kids were really excited to get to see and play with their cousins.  Kristy came and they don't get to see Kristy's kids very often, so it was extra fun.  Our kids play really well together.

 When it got dark, Linda put on a movie with the projector on the side of her house.  It was so fun to watch a movie outside.

Selling cookies and Kool-aid - June 1, 2012

Friday - June 1, 2012

Alissa and her friend, who lives next door, decided to spend the day selling cookies and Kool-aid.  I used my chair and set it up by them so they could have some kind of shade.  My chair has an umbrella attached to it.  We don't have anything else for shade.  It got really hot out there today.  The girls had a lot of fun.

Parker's first Friend Sleepover - May 31, 2012

Thursday - May 31, 2012

I've started babysitting Braxin 2 or 3 times a week.  The weather is so nice and we just want to be outside all of the time.  I just thought it would be really nice if I had a good place outside for Braxin to play that had some shade.  So I got creative and covered the back patio.  It worked really well.  Braxin enjoyed his outside time.  Our neighbor, Ty, came over and enjoyed it also.

Parker's friend Jeshua came over to play for a while today.  Parker and him started planning how they should have a sleepover.  Parker has never had a friend sleepover before, so I thought it was about time we did this.  The funny thing about Parker is that he is a big sleeper.  At 8:00 pm everyday, his body is ready for sleep and he can hardly keep his eyes open pass then.  Well, it turns out that his friend Jeshua is the opposite of Parker.  He has a hard time going to sleep.  His mom sent him with some kind of sleeping pill, but it didn't kick in for a long time.  Parker was out by 8:00 pm and Jeshua was just sort of wandering through the house looking for something to do.  Jeshua stayed up until a little after midnight.  I felt bad because he got a little bored, but it wasn't too terrible.

Roger's 33rd Birthday!

Friday - May 25, 2012

I stayed up late and decorated the house for Roger's birthday.

 Roger had to work last night, so he slept through the whole first half of his birthday.  When he woke up, the kids were so excited to give him his gifts, so he came straight into the kitchen and sat at the table for his gifts.  You can tell he is still a little tired.

 Roger doesn't like pie, so we bought him a Marie Calandar's Chocolate Satin pie.

Roger's birthday was pretty fun, except that Roger had to work.  We only got to see him for a few hours on his birthday, so we did our best to make those few hours enjoyable for him.  He woke up around 2:00 pm, then he had to go to work at 5:15 pm.  It's a bummer to work on your birthday.  roger handles that much better than I think I would.

Playground at Iceskating Rink - May 21, 2012

We came to watch Roger play hockey tonight.  They have a weird little playground at the iceskating rink.  The kids have always wanted to play on it, but we are usually in a hurry so they never get to.  We decided to make time and let them play today.  They had fun.
