Spring Break - 2017

We headed down to see Nana and Papa again in Orlando for spring break this year.  We did all of our favorite activities while enjoying the gorgeous sunny weather.  The boys both lost teeth on our trip and were visited by the tooth fairy.  Bennet lost his second front tooth while swimming in the pool and Hayden lost a tooth on the way home in the car.  Made the trip even more eventful!

A Six and Eight Year Old

Well, the boys have officially turned 6 and 8.  Hard to believe that it’s gone so fast.  When we asked the the two what they wanted for their birthdays, they each wanted something different, but very low key.  Surprisingly, neither of them wanted a big party.  Bennet just wanted his two best friends, Max and Ryan, to come over to his house to play and have McDonalds for lunch.  Couldn’t get any simpler.  As for Hayden, we were initially going to go to the trampoline park in Springfield, but with the unseasonably gorgeous weather, we planned an over night in Iowa City and had a blast.  The four of us were outside almost the whole weekend and the boys swam a lot at our hotel.  Hayden and Bennet chose wisely and we had a wonderful time celebrating 6 and 8!

1. Bennet is in Kindergarten and Hayden is in 2nd grade. (Love that they are in the same school.)
2. Hayden did a front flip off of the high dive.
3. Bennet lost his first tooth.
4. Our trips to the beach and Florida

Christmas Jammies

Multiple pairs of Christmas jammies are always a good idea!

When the Weatherman is Wrong

It was supposed to snow this weekend and then turn into an icky wintery mix, but luckily it stayed to our North.  So, on Sunday afternoon, the four of us went exploring in the woods and played on the icy “ish” creek.  Although we came home quite muddy, it was a fun little outdoor adventure.
