Olympics 2010
We had a great Valentine's Weekend.
We were lucky enough to have Papa and Nana babysit all afternoon and evening on Saturday and Doughnut and I were able to do a little shopping and have a relaxing meal out! We really enjoyed our time and the kids had a blast. The kids went to the movies and then enjoyed being with Nana and Papa. I am lucky to have a GREAT VALENTINE to share the weekend with!
On Sunday, Valentine's day, we had a pajama day. We all slept in (does not happen here as we are usually at church) but today we let them sleep in.
We are really excited for the Olympics and we made a score board to watch how many medals the USA will take. We spent quite a big of time cutting out medals, snow flakes for our boarder, and finding out we already had 4 medals. We had to color the silver ones as we did not have gray paper but the other colors were as close as we could get. (We did not plan this, it just happened.) Ice Cream stayed with the project the whole time (usually he hates crafts) and Candy was in her glory. We are excited to see our chart fill up in the next two week. We think our medals might be too large and we will overlap by the end.

Valentine's
We have been missing for MONTHS!! I know and if you are still looking for us we are still around. We have been busy but I have also found other things to do with this time. (Found facebook and that takes most of the computer time.)
We thought we would try and get back to posting a little. We made some fun Valentine's again this year. The kids each picked what they wanted to make out of a magazine and they turned out GREAT!!
Ice Cream made a space ship with google eyes. It said, "You're Out of this World." I was able to attend his class party and the kids loved looking and laughing at them. He got a lot of great compliments.
Candy made a beautiful flower out of hearts. She cut all the hearts out and I helped with the middle and leaves. If we had more time she would have done all of it but we needed to get done.
I did not get to attend Candy's class party but I think she enjoyed giving them out.
Candy also just got her hair cut and it turned out a lot shorter then we asked for. It is really cute and will grow. The first thing she asked for was a pony tail. (It was not long enough for one before we cut it but she thought it might be now.)

Soccer Season
June 20th
We are really enjoying soccer. Candy is having fun and scoring goals. She enjoys her friends and they have a team song.
Ice Cream is our defense guy. He loves to make sure no one scores a goal against them. He really enjoys that position. He does not love being up front and knows that is not his strong position. Ice Cream's coach played defense in college and encourages him. Most 8 year old boys on his team want to score goals and tend to tease him that he is not scoring. He tried being the goalie today and did not like it. He was really mad at himself when he did let a goal in.
Milk Dud loves to watch and thinks he should be playing as well.
Ready for Kindergarten
June
Ice Cream did not have any shots but he did get measured and eyes checked.
Candy was all smiles even knowing she was in for shots!!
All she heard was you need the shots for kindergarten and she was ready!

Height 45 1/4 inches tall = 90%
Weight 45 pounds = 80%
All shots went fine.
Ice Cream did not have any shots but he did get measured and eyes checked.

50th Anniversary
June 11-14
Notice Ice Cream in his swim suit while everyone else is in pants and sweatshirts!!
He wanted to get in and in he did!!
We were able to head to the lake a day early to spend some fun days with my cousins and aunts and uncles. We all gathered for my Aunt and Uncles 50th Anniversary. It was fun to be with everyone but the weather was cool for June. We had about 50 people the night before for supper and since it was so cool we were all inside the cabin.
They had a great party and their kids did a great job putting on a program.
We wish them many happy years.
Below is some cousin fun.

It was cool but he loves the water!
Candy and my cousin's 4 year old were asked to wear the original flower girl dresses. We had them try the dresses on the day before and they just loved parading and twirling around.
