zehnders splash village

     

Over the weekend my parents took our family and my brother's family to Zehnders Splash Village, everyone had so much FUN! Sam was the only kid that went down the big covered water slides. Sienna took one look and refused to even go near them, she did go down two other slides which made me proud! Cameron also went down the same slides as Sienna and would have probably gone down the big one if he was older. In the evening my parents watched all 5 kids while Brad, Robin, Jason and I went down to the water park to act like kids again. We even got into a duck race. Everyone got a numbered duck and on the count of three tossed them into the lazy river, who's ever duck finished first won. GUESS WHAT?? Yep Robin's duck won, she got a large pizza. We all acted like she just one the lotto! Thanks to my parents for a wonderful weekend!

Kids School Christmas Play/Party

 
On Friday December 18th the kids daycare put on a Christmas play for us, it was SUPER CUTE! Cameron's class were all dressed as elf's while they sang and danced around. Of course if you know Cameron he was the center of attention breaking it down in the middle of the stage. Sienna's class were all dressed different (some trees, some presents and of course Santa and Mrs. Claus). Sienna was so proud that she was Mrs. Claus, she did very good dancing and singing. After they all performed they sat in a circle waiting for Santa. First I want to say they all sat in a circle except for Cameron who sat in the middle of everyone. Then when santa arriving ringing a bell all the kids ran to give him a big hug, except for Cameron who stole Santa's bells and ran around ringing them. Both of the kids loved sitting on Santa's lap and getting a present from him. 

 

SO MUCH TO TELL

  

I know it has been a long time since I have posted and have so much to tell! First off the kids LOVED Halloween, Sienna was Dorothy, Cameron the Scarecrow, Daddy was Tinman, Dozer was the Lion and I was the wicked witch! So the BIG news is... WE ARE MOVING!! We did not sell our house in Grand Blanc but we are renting it, we have to be out this Saturday 11-14-09 by noon! We are moving in with  my parents for a few months to save some money and start looking for a new house, we are hoping to find a home in the South Lyon area. SUPER EXCITED but also know it is going to be a challenge living with my parents for the next few months but it will be all worth it in the end!

Cute Saying:

"Mom why are you and Cameron sharing germs?" From Sienna because I let Cameron drink out of my cup.

"Mom I learning about the body, did you know we have a heart that pumps blood." Another quote from Sienna, she is learning so much in pre-school.

I would give a quote from Cameron but it would mostly be NO NO NO NO NO NO NO, yep I think it is his favorite word. He is for sure speaking a lot more lately, mostly repeating.

 Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

Cider Mill and more!

 
  

On Sunday September 27th we went to Spicers Orchard with The Stone family! The kids had so much fun eating donuts, running around on the all the play toys and they enjoyed the train ride through the Orchard. My dad decided to join us at the cider mill then head back to our house to fix our kitchen light since Jason has been out of town. Over a month ago Jason installed a new kitchen light and last week it decided to come crashing down and almost hitting me. To our surprise nothing broke except a plastic part that I was able to order from Home Depot.

Cameron's favorite word right now is NO! He is such a boy, loves to climb, make car noises, drive his toy car and play with balls. BUT he also LOVES his teddy bears!!! Lately he has been a pistol, fighting with his sister (but also give her lots of loves), sitting on her and jumping, throwing a fit on the floor when he doesn't get his way, he bit me last week and hits sometimes and thinks it is funny. I asked daycare and they said he is not aggressive with any kids but when he wants something another kid is playing with he just goes and sits on their lap until they move. We have our work cut out for us!

Sienna's cute saying "Cameron it's all about you not about me" I think she got it a little turned around. We are SO PROUD that Sienna has gone over two weeks without sucking her thumb!! At her last dentist appointment her dentist said if she does not stop soon in the next year she will have to get a retainer. As of this month Sienna is officially a pre-schooler, she loves school but told me last week that she doesn't know if she wants to go to kindergarten because its going to be harder then pre-school. What she has learned in the last 2 weeks: Her 5 senses, how to be polite and what is teasing, and she is also learning Spanish!!

Labor Day weekend 2009

WOW it has been over 2 months since I have posted anything, better late then never!

 

Our Labor Day tradition - Aloha State Park

We arrived Thursday and stayed until Tuesday. On Friday we always do some grocery shopping and relax at the campground, our site was right on the water. Saturday we always go to Key Hole Bar for Michigan first Football game of the year! Before the game we head over the bridge to St. Ignace for their annual craft shows along the water. On Sunday we usually head to Mackinaw Island but this year we decided to kick back and relax a little. Monday we did our usual Bridge walk and shopping.
