The Big jump!!

Thinking about jumping.. I'm going to do it!No turning back now...All the way in..And back up..YAY Ryan! You finally conquered your fear! You jumped off the diving board!!! WOO HOO!

How to fry an egg.

With this incredibly hot weather, Ryan and I decided to do an experiment. We went outside and cracked an egg on the street. We just wanted to see what would happen. So I went back and periodically took a picture of the egg. I tried to take a picture every hour, but honestly some of the times were stretched a little longer then an hour..here it is..in pictures.

The last picture I took wasn't on my computer, as I took it last night after I had already downloaded my pictures. I will try to add it after. Needless to say the egg cooked a little, but not nearly enough to eat.

Sprinkler Time!!

The other day it was really hot outside, and since the liner in our pool is ripped there is no way to cool off. Dan decided to bring out the sprinkler and let the kids have fun running through and splashing around. Ryan LOVED it. He ran through and got squirted in the face several times. Lilly on the other hand was a little more apprehensive. She was unsure if she liked it or not. Of course because it was the hose, the water was freezing cold. We finished off the day with sharing some cherries outside, first time for both my kids. They both LOVED them!

A New Look

I have been missing from the blogging world for a couple months now, so I thought it was about time that I get back into it. I know that some of you do actually enjoy reading it, and catching up with the kids. So here it is, to motivate me I have revamped the whole blog. Changed the background, and the header picture. I will try to get back into it and start posting on a regular basis now. So, follow along if you like. I welcome any and all comments, in fact I like them!! Hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy sharing my kids with you all!

Taking Off..

2:30am came very early on the morning we were set to board the plane and head to Iowa. We were all SO excited to get there. And the kids did a WONDERFUL job getting up and ready to go. We boarded the plane about 1am, but not before we watched a little tv in the airport and checked out the planes.
We flew with Air Tran, an airline I had never heard of. But they were wonderful, on the way out. We landed in Minneapolis about a half hour ahead of schedule.

Although all of us had been up since 2:30ish, once we got to Minnesota we went to the much anticipated Lego store!!! I think that was Ryans favorite part of the whole trip.

Love Bugs

This picture started out nice..then turned into a tackling love fest..I ♥ my kids!

Sick at Home

This past week has been a little crazy. We have had a lot of croupe going around. Ryan and Lil were home sick for two days. Ry wanted me to show you what he spent his time at home doing. Once he finished this one he tried challenging himself to see how many across on the bottom he could get. Would you like to see how big he got it?
Impressed? ;)
