Great Grandma Draman

Great Grandma Draman has come to visit from Iowa.  We haven't seen her since Lincoln was a baby.  It is so nice getting to visit with her.  I am so glad the kids are getting to see and visit with her. 

Today was our first day shopping for supplies for Great Grandma Vella's 80th birthday party.   And yes Grand Draman came with us.  We drug her through several stores today, and I think may have tuckered her out.

The kids just couldn't help themselves.  They want one of these cars so bad.  Haha!  I can't blame them I always wanted one as a kid too.

 

I couldn't help take this picture of Payton playing Barbies with Grandma Draman.  Building memories.  So cute!

Water Balloons and the Trampoline

Yesterday we went to our friend Damian's birthday party.  It was everything water, a pool, water balloons, and water guns.  The kids had so much fun.  So much fun in fact that they decided the wanted to replay part of the party.

Dave found some balloons and filled them with water and tossed them on the trampoline.  I took these pictures during the first 5 minutes.  Then went in to start dinner.  20 minutes later Dave brought them in completely drenched and giggling.

Soccer

Soccer time again.  Payton did so much better today.  She only cried during the first game.  Maybe next week she will not cry at all.  :o) 

On the other hand, Lincoln LOVES it.  There is so much joy on his face as he is running around playing the games and kicking the ball.

Today Ralph, Michelle, and Ashley were able to join us.  They commented several times on how much Lincoln reminded them of Dave when he was little.

Afterwards we went to Shin Sushi for dinner and then tried the little ice cream shop next door.  It wasn't Sweet Retreat Frozen yogurt but it was it was pretty tasty.

Maxi Skirt

Payton started off the morning still throwing up but as the morning as passed she started feeling better.  Thank goodness.

We decided to lay low to make sure that she didn't over do it.  So per their request it was a pj day.  Yay!

I happened to have all my sewing stuff out because I went to a craft night the last night after the kids went to bed.  I have some fabric that was cut into LONG strips 20 inches wide for a project that decided not to do.  Now I find myself trying to decide what to do with it.  As Paton was laying on the couch I thought, "Why not make her a skirt with it?"  Then I did.  :o)

I was so proud of myself.  I made a pattern, cut it out, and sewed it together in less than 40 minutes.  Sweet!  What's better is that she LOVED it.

Barfies

Today started off just like any other day.  Got the kids up and dressed.  Payton even read a couple of books to me.  But as I was finishing up getting ready Payton came in and said that her tummy hurt.  When she turned to look at me her face was white and she had really dark circle under her eyes.  I thought, "Uh Oh, she's gonna barf."  It wasn't long before she did and then she did all day long.  She couldn't even hold down water, poor baby.

We set up a little "bed for her in the family room so that she could watch some TV when she wasn't sleeping.  When Lincoln saw her bed he HAD to have one too.  Haha!  Fine.

Austin was very interested in her barf bucket.  He was very entertaining.  Fortunately it was clean, otherwise that would have been disgusting.

It was so sad, she kept saying she was scared and asking why she was throwing up.  I hope she feels better tomorrow.
