Daniel's Birthday


I guess I have taken a blogging vacation. Probably because I would rather clean my house right now than do anything else. But I wanted to share some funny pictures of Daniel's birthday before I have a new baby to blog about.

Daniel's birthday was March 19th and he got a small train set which he loves. Then on that Saturday we had a small party for him at the park. He didn't want cake so we had muffins for dessert and yes I was wrong, most people wanted the chocolate muffins instead of the ones I picked out. My parents came and manned the slide with the kids which was awesome considering all the other moms that showed up were pregnant and that just makes playing on the playground with your kids kind of miserable. Daniel is concerned that I can't go down the slide with him anymore, he always wants to sit in my lap and go down but there is no lap to sit in at the moment.



Needless to say none of the kids wanted to stop playing and eat or open presents. I can't remember how we enticed them but it must have been good. Some highlights of that scene were of course that the wind picked up freezing us out and making it impossible for the candles on the muffin to stay lit. Also that he was more interested in the cards that sang a song than anything else until he opened a shovel and rake for "his" garden. I think we had a good time overall. The only down side was that Daniel cried all the way home saying "please go back to the park, the big park. PLEASE!"

Happy Birthday to Daniel! Sounds like a fun little celebration! Hope you are doing, well- was well as can be expected in this miserable point in a pregnancy. Let us know as soon as the baby arrives! Good luck with everything!

It was a fun party and yes I was very grateful for your parents playing with the kids on the slide..well, for the short time my kid actually played on THAT playground. LOL. Anna walked in while I was reading the post and said - 'Happy Birthday Daniel! I give him present and we play on the play ground' So obviously she remembered and had a good time.

Too bad she was such a stinker when you guys came over the other day. Sorry I didn't get back with you yesterday. I was walking out the door when you called and it has been crazy ever since. So just write my last name in her clothes. Thanks again. It was so good to see you guys. I will call you soon so we can make a trip up there.

Holy long comment. Maybe I should have just called you! LOL.

Ikea beat the rainy day

My kids love the dirt. They love being outside while I try to plant and do everything in the dirt. Alice rolls in, runs in, and eats the dirt. The grossest thing I have found lately is her with her mouth full of mud and a pebble in her hand and big smiles on her face. To beat that I have found her now three times with dirt in the mouth. Yuck! Today it rained. This has got to be the fifteenth day this month that it rained and my kids could not stand it. So eventually I told the kids to get their shoes (which makes Alice run to the door) and that we were going to IKEA. IKEA is a great way to spend the day. Daniel and Alice played in the kids rooms that were set up and ran through that little hole in the wall they have between two of the rooms. They loved it. One of the rooms had a slide in it which Alice discovered that she loved. Down the slide she went, over and over and over again. Then we came home and the crying and tantrums started up right away again. But for those two...

Nothing like people to ruin your day.

Alright so last week we found out that our condo was put up for sale. Jason looked up the sales price, quickly realized that is was pretty low and we feared for the type of people that would be coming through to view our condo, we were right to fear. Usually I am pretty easy going and try to be accommodating but somethings are unbelievable. So these people put in an offer on our home and then the husband wanted to come check it out so their agent and our agent agreed on a time. We thought, okay they'll be here what like a half hour? So Jason and Daniel went to look at homes for us and I stayed here to watch the show. The husband proceeded to test each outlet to see if it was hot, then he was looking in the attic space, then messing with the fuses and air conditioning. He was the first to show up so we thought, ok, this is going to be alright. Ten to fifteen minutes later someone else knocked on the door. There is this lady with three kids and a pizza box. She mumbled some...

Sitting Up

Alice has begun sitting up. She can sit for about a minute on her own and then for about five minutes supported. Grass is also her new favorite thing and she will grab the blanket that she sits on and move it so that she can grab the grass. She can currently pull of fist fulls of grass with no hesitation. Although she did face plant in the grass and decided that the grass was not where her head should be. Daniel loves raspberries. He loves to run outside and pick raspberries straight from the bushes. Then he loves to run around the yard at grandma's house screaming. Alvin the dog is actually more afraid of Daniel than the other way around. Our house is coming along and hopefully within the month so we can get more settled. Yellowstone was a successful trip and our kids had a blast. Daniel could not see out the binoculars so eventually we just started pointed out animals that he could see on his own which were: buffalo. Good things seeing four million buffalo was exciting...
