Children's Museum

We had a great time at the Children's Museum yesterday. Micah had a great time playing with some of the exhibits and wanted nothing to do with the others. Sarah had a great time with every thing. She would have liked to stay longer but... it was getting late and the museum was closing.

Micah sleeps in her new bed

Here is Micah sleeping in her new big girl bed for the first time. She slept in the bed for nap and then last night with out any problems. I can't believe how easy it has been. Sarah slept in her big bed also but came down about 4 times because she didn't feel well. Hopefully tonight will be better for her.

Sarah pulling her tooth out!

Sarah pulling out her tooth

Sarah pulled her 4th tooth tonight. She was scared to do it but wouldn't let anyone help. She did it all by herself. She is the bravest kid I know!

First days of school

Micah and Sarah getting all ready for the first days of school. What an exciting time for them and sad time for me. I can't believe I have a 2nd grader and a pre/preschooler!

family Vacation

I can't believe how long it has taken me to update the blog about our first family vacation. We went to Mackinaw City/Island, the Soo Locks, Tacquemaneon Falls and Lake Hubbard. We met up with the Fourniers in Mackinaw City for a few days and then drove down to Lake Hubbard. Micah and Sarah both played in Lake Michigan, Lake Heron, took a boat ride on Lake Superior and then swam/played in Lake Hubbard. I have lots of pictures to share. Sarah jumped off a floating dock, found a crayfish and climbed a lighthouse. Micah played a great deal where ever she could.
Micah had a hard time sleeping and driving in a car. She would cry every time we put her in car or lay her down. Sarah does well where ever we go. She was a great big sister the whole trip.
We would begin our days around 8:00 and not get home until around 10 that evening. This I wasn't expecting. I think we came home and now need a vacation from the vacation.

Sarah's 7th birthday party

Sarah had an at home birthday party this year. She invited her entire class and then some other friends and family. There were 15 boys and girls here along with quite a few moms and dads. John the Science Quest guy came to do science experiments and show off some really cool animals he calls pets. He brought a parrot, a hedgehog, two snakes, a skink, breaded dragon, ferret, turtle, and chinchilla. The kids got to hold and or pet each one of the animals. I think Micah liked the turtle the best and Sarah liked the parrot the best. It sat on her head. John also did some really cool experiments. He had a smoke machine with a drum that he blew smoke rings with, he crushed cans with warm and cool water, he blew toilet paper off of a paint roller with a leaf blower, he had a hover craft that the kids got to ride on, and he blew fire with Bianca and a lighter. Not only were the kids entertained but also the adults. He also made slime with the kids as a gift to go home with them. After he was done we just had time to eat Chick-fil-a, fruit and have ice cream sandwiches for dessert.
All in all I think Sarah and her friends had a great time.. Her friends from school were: Matthew, Brian, Evan, Jordan, Christina, Maddie, and Gianna. Mrs. Arguijo also came which made the kids day! The other friends that came were: Abby, Claire, Hannah, Emma, Isabella, Anna, Kameron, and Catherine.
