June 1, 2008

We took the kids on a bike picnic today (Sunday)!! What a riot and they did so good!! We ended up getting another bike seat for our bikes... I had Savanna and Dad had George plus pulled the cart behind him with our lunch, diaper bag, etc. We road down to Walker park which is behind Walker Fitness.. They have two different play sets back there, ponds, bike trails, etc. The kids had a ball!! On the way home we went down to the ice cream garage for a nice treat!! Didn't even realize that we had been gone for for 3-1/2 hours!!

Still struggling a little bit with George with the pink eye... It is horrible trying to get the drops into his eyes.... Sometimes need Savanna, Dad and I to all hold him down and get his eye open... Then he gets up and starts laughing at us!! Lil' devil.... He has not had a normal bowel movement for over a week either... Dr. thinks it is viral and can't do anything... He is still in great spirits though!! Dad has a Honda 200x in the garage and he loves to go for rides and sits on it all the time. He can get the kick starter out by himself and thinks he is so cool!! He also rides Savanna's little princess bike.... He starts at the garage and gives himself a push off, lifts his feet up and rolls down the driveway into the road... Naughty but truly smart little boy!! He does better than Sav ever did with the battery powered Jeep also!! Did I say that he is only 18 months old????!!

Savanna..... what can I say.... today is Wednesday and she helped Gina clean the tupperware cupboard out.... matched all the lids to the bowls... She knows her ABC's, can count to 15-20, can look at the pictures on the pages of her nursery rhyme book and recite or sing the whole story.... Knows at least 10 of them!! Can sing a ton of songs on the county radio.... But..... won't go on the potty consistently.... guess it will come in her own time!!

Logan coming this weekend!! YEAH!! Can't wait..............................

Memorial Day weekend, 2008

Thursday morning of Memorial day weekend started off with a bang!! Savy Jene woke up with what we later found out was "pink eye".... yee haw.... after a trip to see Aunt Beth at her office, and medication, we were off to the U.P.

We ended up spending the night with Dama at her hotel in St. Ignace. Savanna and George so missed their "Dama" and were so excited to see her!! Aunt Marcy was there to welcome us too!! After breakfast with Dama, we were off to TL!!

Our first stop was to see Aunt Kimmy for haircuts for both Georgie and Savy and a nice visit!! The kidswere in school and we were sad to miss them and Uncle Kirt.

From there we were off to see Grandma Barager who had been in Florida all winter and had just recently got back to TL.... After some cookies and homemade chicken noodle soup, Dad dropped the golf cart and off Mom and the kids went to the cabin... Cousin Tom had arrived and had a "bad pipe"....

Of course, we had to stop at the store and see Grandma Victoria for some ice cream and a visit too before we ventured out to the mosquito and black fly-haven of a cabin!!

As Savanna would say.... "my Donny and Aunt Bethany" came Friday night to spend the weekend with us... Dad and Don got the boat launched, the golf cart home from Uncle Dennis', a new-used swing set from Uncle Kirt and Aunt Kimmy set up, etc.

It was great weather all weekend, pretty warm.... and oh, did I mention that the mosquitos and black flies that chowed on the kids and drove the adults nuts... by the time we left, which was a day early because of the bugs, the kids looked like they had chicken pox and Dad called he realtor on the way home and listed the cabin for sale!! Don't go to the cabin on Memorial Day weekend!! BUGGIES!!

P.S. GEORGE LEARNED HOW TO SAY "BUG BITE" (HIS NEW NICKNAME)

Weekend of May 16, 2008

The kids and I went to work-out Friday a.m. for the first time in about two weeks... They had been sick and I didn't want them to go to the daycare with coughs and snot noses. They missed it and so did Mom!! Dad came home early and Uncle Chuck arrived shortly thereafter for lunch!! We went gardening shopping after... We brought the wagon and the kids got to ride around in it through the plant aisles (better than George tearing all the plants apart!!) Then stopped for ice cream treats!! We soon found that our fridge had went on the fritz..... again.... this has to be the 4th time since we bought the thing when we moved in 5 years ago... So off to various neighbors Greg went to store our food... What a pain!! Greg and I lit the candles on the deck and sat out and had a couple of beers... Pretty cool to have a bigger deck!! Thanks again babe!!



Saturday it was off to Menards again in the a.m. for more landscaping shopping!! Greg (and the kids) re-did all the landscaping in the front yard and it looks great!! Uncle Rob and Aunt Kath and family came over for lunch and to see the new deck... We had a nice afternoon visit!! Pete Bosch's 50th b-day party that night and Kayla Boos, the neighbor girl came over to babysit the kids that night.

Sunday was church at Holy Trinity and Gram Dunneback's birthday party.... Getting ready to head to the cabin next weekend for Memorial day!!

MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND

May 12, 2008
Wonderful weekend at our household! Greg spent the majority of the weekend building a bigger deck on the back of the house. As of Sunday night it was completed and looks great!! He even had time to make me breakfast on Sunday, take me out to lunch, pick up the house, etc.!! What a wonderful husband I have!!

Kids are still suffering from their colds... Snot galore it seems and coughs... But verry happy to be outside in the warmer weather!! They are quite the riot!! George only wants to be on the golf cart, three wheeler or motorcycle going "vroom vroom"!! He does it so well!! He definitely has the word "no" down pat too!! Growing like a weed... won't stay out of the road.... typical boy who gets into everything.... but oh so cute!!

Savanna is beautiful and her Daddy tells her so every day!! We are trying to potty train her to not the best avail!! Bought her "gummy bears" and she gets one every time she goes on the potty... Guess it comes when she is ready!! Very talkative and knows it all.... Her latest saying is "Mom... what do you want to do? Huh Huh? What do you want to do? Do you want to go outside, or go downstairs or swing? Huh Huh... what do you want to do?" I laugh every time... Makes you realize that you need to stop doing the laundry or whatever chore doesn't need to get done and just PLAY!! Enjoy your kids!!

May 8, 2008

This morning George of course, woke us up at his normal 6ish!! Today is our last day of running for daycare as Gina will be here next week for the summer. Savanna was sleeping on the floor in our bedroom as she had come in in the middle of the night. Took her still half asleep out to the car!! Going to Aunt Kathleen's this a.m. Aunt Kathleen says that Savanna wanted to wear Cousin Maddie's underwear today and has gone to the bathroom four times with no accidents before nap... George wanted a nap at 11:15 a.m. but she wouldn't let him until he ate his lunch... Both kids have colds. George started with a fever for a few days... Now both of them are have terrible coughs and snot!!

We started building a bigger deck on the back of our house as we will be staying there it looks like another summer. We put a bid in on a house on 13 Mile across the road from Mom and Dad May's but didn't get it... yet... maybe?? We have been looking at houses for a while now... wanting out of ours for some more land, pole barn for Greg, etc.
