Summertime and the T.V.

Summer is in full force.

Scarlett loves helping with Willow. She feeds her and talks to her. We have been calling Willow "sissy" and "Willow Bean." Really we have called her these because we have Scarlett who called her sissy and we have Ryan who usually nicknames just about everyone...

 

Let me give you a few nicknames that he calls people.

My girlfriend, Nicki, he calls pony (i know, really?)
My other girlfriend, Liz, he calls (Lizdog... (really?)
His own brother, Adam, I think he is the one that started the whole "cheese" name.
He usually calls me "b"... i think it means beautiful, babe, bubbly... ok kidding

We have been swimming alot too. Scarlett and Willow will be taking swimming classes together. Instead of paying for private ones with Scarlett, I am going to get in with the girls and the instructor is going to teach me how to help them both. It's very important that our children have the concept of pools and the water when they can walk out the pack porch and get in. Makes me really nervous. Scarlett loves to swim, she is doing really good without her floaties but just needs to be more confident that she can do it.

We went to Braeden's pool one day to swim and relax.

 

Then, there is the T.V>
The first year we were married, Ryan made this purchase.
He was sooo excited.
Because I think he said "you could watch sports better."
Anyways, it died.
We said our goodbyes.
And the trashmen thought I was crazy.

 

I had a little party for all of my little kids that come over every Friday for learning time. It was the end of the year party. They sang a few songs for their parents and then we ate lunch, played and went swimming.

 

Can't wait to get you caught up with all of the things we have been doing this summer... We have been busy, as i know all of you are too!

Aubrey and Scarlett

We were so excited when Ms. Heather asked if we wanted to keep Aubrey for the day.

They were sooo busy.

They swam, ate, played playdoh, ate, colored, ate, dress up, ate, danced, ate...well, you get the picture.

Playing play-doh

 

Eating a snack.

 

Playing

 

We read the "little red hen" and did a little shape activity to go with it.

 

Might I just add that as I am a little behind on my blog, Heather is current, you should flip over to her blog and read her dog story. She cracks me up. She runs in the morning and to have this happen to her is so funny as she wouldn't hurt a fly.

Easy summer days

Summer has hit us with lovely heat.

I love the heat.
Ryan likes cool.
I love the sun.
Ryan likes the shade.
I love baking in the sun.
Ryan likes sitting in the sun.
I love summer in Florida.
Ryan likes summer in Ohio.



Ryan and Scarlett working on our lawn.

 

Scarlett was really working hard. At one point she was sitting in the chair watching daddy and then 5 minutes later she was in her heels and sunglasses.

 

Willow Grayce loves taking in all the action up CLOSE>

 

One of Scarlett and Willow's favorite things to do is to play together. Especially when Ryan has Willow taking down Scarlett, Willow giggles and giggles.

 

You belong to me

Scarlett loves Taylor Swift, thanks to her Aunt Ashley and Uncle Dan. They bought her this microphone and cd for Christmas and she just rocks it.

(please ignore the pool deck mess behind her)



This is her singing,

you belong

 

to me....

 

We usually eat dinner outside on the deck and Scarlett ends up moving the whole house outside.

 

our litte poodles

I had to buy new jammies for Willow so I thought I would buy matching ones.

 

 

Willow was 8 months when she cut her first tooth. Now, she has 4 that has popped through. We call her slobber bobber.

 

Dance Class

Nana recorded Scarlett during dance class. Her recital is in a few weeks. I figured out how to upload a video to youtube. I know I know... I might be turning into a technology freak. ha.

So here it is.

Ok, so I guess when Scarlett was 2 years old. I uploaded 2 more videos on youtube, who knew?

Anyways, check out these links as well..

Jesus loves me

and

Scarlett and her spider


Well, you don't have to watch them, but I am totally impressed that somehow I uploaded them and then I FOUND them.

Just Dance

I am not sure why I don't have any pictures from when Nana and Pappaw were at our house. But we just laid out by the pool and grilled the rest of the week that they were in Florida.

Nana came to dance with us to watch Scarlett and here she is striking a pose.

 

Disney

A quick picture of our family room.

 

Mommy and Scarlett on our way to Disney... yes, we were a little jammed in the car.

 

Where dreams come true. We actually saw a guy propose to a girl in the front of the castle. Of course, Ryan thought that was cheesy until he remembered that he proposed at a castle too. ha

 

J.M. Smucker store at Disney.

 

Marriott Resort

So on Wednesday, we picked up Nana and Pappaw at the airport and checked in so that we could go swimming right away. They had this little children's pool and Scarlett thought it was HER pool.

 

Willow chilled out in the stroller and ate snacks.

 

Scarlett splashing Pappaw in the pool.

 

On Thursday we went to Disney in the morning until the girls needed a nap. Then, we went back to the resort for a few hours to relax and let the kids sleep. So Nana stayed up in the room while Pappaw and Ryan were in the pool, and I layed out. It was so peaceful.

 

We later went back to the park for the parade and a few more rides.

The Parade

Oh, I believe one of the things I look forward to at Magic Kingdom is the Parade. It is just magical.

Here we are waiting for the parade. Yes, we have to wait along the fence about 20 before the parade.

 

Willow was sleeping in the stroller for the night so this is about the best family picture we have at the parade.

 

Nana and Scarlett watching and it must have been very intense.

 

The best part of the parade. Cinderella and her prince, this picture tells about how all the little magical things take place at disney.

Daddy and Scarlett riding the Dumbo ride.
They went around and around.
I really can't take it. I would have thrown up.
I hope my kids don't get car sick like I do.

 

Of course, Nana and Pappaw bought Scarlett anything she wanted...
of course, it was a big ol ballon that we carried around the rest of the evening.

 

See Ryan below?
See the stickers on his back?

 

Well, I put them on his back and I thought it would be funny to see how long they stayed there.
It was for a few hours... pretty funny, eh?


Scarlett with full control of the situation below.

 

Just pappaw and the girls

The girls just love being spoiled. Pappaw and Scarlett checking out Mickey's House.

Scarlett was trying to find mommy and daddy. It took her about 4 circles to finally see us. ha
