Last Day of Preschool for the Little Miss

Bailey has grown so much this year in preschool.  I gotta be honest I was a little worried about her because she is one of the youngest in the class but she did awesome!  She really loved every minute of it which I am very surprised. She isn't always a fan of new things but I guess because this was "her" thing, she was great!  She had THE cutest teachers and great friends in the class that made the year just fabulous.  I was able to go to the last day of school for game day with her cute little class. Definitely the highlight of my week.  I just love these little kids!  Especially mine!

Bye Bye Binkies!

For months now we have been talking to Bailey about getting rid of her binky.  She tells us, "When I am older I will get rid of it"  That is her answer to everything she doesn't want to do.  Love that girl.  Anyway she planned to give it to Chill for Father's Day but then decided she wasn't ready. The day after Father's Day she talked all day about having a party and cutting up her binkies.  I went along with it telling her we could but thinking when it came right down to it she would NEVER do it.  Well we were in the middle of FHE and she said she was ready to cut them up so we stopped everything and had her get the binkies.  She even got her favorite on which I was beyond shocked.  She passed them out to everyone and let us all take turns cutting up a binky and then she threw them away.  She was beyond proud of herself and just kept saying "I'm a big girl now!"  So there you have it.  That was way too easy and painless!

Whitewater State Park

Everything is so green and pretty here right now.  We are LOVING it.  It is also hot and humid but after that long winter that lasted FOREVER...we'll take this hot weather.  We were just sitting around Saturday afternoon after Carson's soccer game wondering if we dare do anything outside because it looked like it was going to rain. Carson wanted to take a little stroll to the park...so we did!
 

After the park we decided to just jump in the car and head out to Whitewater State Park.  We had been there before and wanted to take the kids back there to swim.  We started throwing everything in the van- swim suits, snacks, sunscreen, fishing pole, flip flops, etc.  and off we went.  We got there and Chill and I realized we didn't grab our swim suits.   I had to chill with Max anyway, but Chillin really wanted to swim so he just went in his shorts.  The kids had a fabulous time and they didn't want to leave.  Poor little Max was running a super high fever and he was miserable for most of the time.  I felt bad that we just drug him there, but I think he did alright.  It was well worth the 40 minute drive out there.  Bailey was a wild woman and loved ever minute of it!

 

 

 

Father's Day 2013

We  had a great day.  The best part about it was Chill had the entire day off.  He is working some Sundays right now which is a bummer, but he had Father's Day off wahoo!  I am mad I didn't get any pictures of the day.  We just had a good time together.  I of course was a good wife and woke up super early and made German pancakes.  I also had to get ready to teach our primary lesson because they gave all the men the day off so Chill didn't have to teach class!  We gave Chill his gifts before church and after church we hung out, had a nice dinner of ham and funeral potatoes, and then went over to our friends house for dessert.  It was a nice day.
