Week 8 - 2017

This weekend Jeremy’s mom and Grandma were in town. We went to the renaissance festival Saturday. This is our third time and it didn’t disappoint. The weather was perfect! In the past, it has always been really hot by the time we were leaving but it was really nice. We went to the Family Circus show and Blake was really into it. It was fun to watch him. After we grabbed lunch (Turkey leg and Broccoli Soup Bread Bowl) and got a seat for the Jousting show. We watched the Jousting show which was really fun. That’s always my favorite part. We walked around for a while and then Blake went to the petting zoo and before we headed out we watched the end of another circus show.

We also painted another big chunk of the downstairs this weekend. It’s nice to see it all coming together but the big difference is going to be when we put in the new floors. We probably have two, maybe one more weekend of painting and then we can start on the floors. We are trying to go slow so we don’t get overwhelmed but it always seems to be more work than we think. Especially with two kids around.

Kylie is in love with MumMum’s right now. Blake is really into picking out his clothes and pockets! He loves to put his hands in his pockets.

Week 7 - 2017

This week Blake had a Valentine’s Day party at Daycare. On Valentine’s Day, the daycare had a Sweethearts breakfast for the parents. We had breakfast with Blake and then went to work. In the afternoon, the kid’s rooms had party’s. They had snacks and exchanged valentines. Kylie and Blake made frames for us and gave them to us when we picked them up on Valentine’s Day. Blake had so much fun! He was super hyper when we picked him up! We went home and opened our Valentine’s Day box from Grandma and Grandpa Krass. Blake and Kylie are SUPER spoiled by them! Blake LOVES Grandpa Krass. Every time we talk to him Blake freaks out and screams GRANDPA!! He always LOVES to show us Grandma in a magazine we have.

Blake and Kylie started playing together this weekend. Blake is really into playing doctor so he was Kylie’s doctor all weekend! He’s pretty good with sharing toys but he doesn’t like to take toys from Kylie but he has gotten pretty good about giving her a different toy if he takes the one she has. She normally doesn’t care though because she just loves hanging out with him.

We started our remodel this weekend. We took out the baseboards in the front of our house and painted most of the front of the house. Our front room is two floors high so I got the pleasure of taping the ceiling and painting on the top step of the ladder. The first two times I was freaked out but after that I was fine. I’m excited to install the new floors and make the house snazzy!

Week 6 - 2017

Not much happened this week. Blake did chip a little bit of his front tooth a few weeks ago so I took him to the dentist. He had a blast! He loved sitting in the dentist chair and was buddy buddy with his dentist. He suggested just leaving it so that's what were doing. Blake got a toy out of the machine and thought it was so cool!

We all got haircuts this weekend except Kylie. Jeremy cut his and Blake's hair in the morning and then we went to the mall to get mine cut. Blake and Kylie played in the play center at the mall.

We have been working on teaching Blake and Kylie to play together. So far Blake gives things to Kylie and then takes them right back. He doesn't have a hard time sharing with other kids but when it's his sister everything is his. He's very protective of his tablet and if she touches it he yells at her. He always tells us she broke it when she touches it. :)

The Cardinals Stadium was having a free RV Show this weekend so we headed over to check it out. Blake had SO much fun climbing in and out of all the RV's. We picked out our dream RV.

Week 5 - 2017

Nothing too exciting happened this week. Kylie started feeling better Wednesday. She started to play a little and by Friday she was almost back to normal. Jeremy and I were sick most of the week and are still recovering. Blake so far seems to have mostly missed this sickness. He did have a cough for a few days but that's it.

Friday after work we all went to Red Robin to celebrate Jeremy officially being a CPA! Blake did pretty good. He loves his tablet so for the most part that entertains him.

Saturday was mostly errand day. We have been sick so long that we haven't been able to get things done. Blake and I went to Target to get his valentines for school. Jeremy put his car up for auction so we had to go get him and then I spent the rest of the afternoon doing our taxes. We did go for a quick Costco run. Saturday night Jeremy and I watched a movie at home after the kids went to bed.

Fresh out of the shower

She loves her doll

She LOVES Chloe

Watching TV, just like daddy

Super bowl was fun. It was a good game. I've recently gotten really into planning. The world is so different when you plan. We now have a family planner that I put everything. I now make to do lists for everything and I'm able to accomplish so much more. It's been amazing! I have also really gotten into budgeting. Not like budgeting, budgeting to mostly tracking our spending. I had no idea their was this huge planner community and it's been fun to get a new hobby. I stopped couponing a while ago and haven't found another hobby until now.
