Football Scrimmage

Tonight was the Bullets scrimmage game.  Alex and Amelia were excited to go out on the field with Daddy.  It's going to be a great year folks!  #futuresangamochamps

Bye Bye Bumps

This morning Grandma brought the kids back from Hillsboro and met me at Dr. Conlon's office so we could get another look at Alex's molluscum that has been bothering him.  Dr. Conlon is a pediatric dermatologist and I was beyond impressed with his bedside manner with Alex and Amelia for that matter!

It was decided that due to the location we should try to remove them.  It was a gel that he put on each bump with the end of a Q-tip.  We waited for them to dry and we were on our way.  Alex did an absolutely amazing job.  It may maybe because he was so tired that he almost fell asleep.  Dr. Conlon said to keep on eye them as they would start to blister over the next several hours.  We kept them clean and Alex full of Tylenol.  

We headed to Steak n Shake with Grandma and then it was home for naptime (for Mommy too!)

Date Night

We stayed in last night and grilled out and relaxed at home.  Tonight we headed out to dinner.  It's so weird being at home without the kids.  I can't imagine what we did with all our free time before we had kids!!! I will admit it was nice to lay in bed and watch the news a few mornings!

Old Settler's Day

Holly, Amelia, Alex, and Paxton

Yesterday afternoon, Grandma came and picked the kids up from daycare and they headed down to spend a few days at Great Grandma Furness's house in Hillsboro.  Every year Hillsboro has an Old Settlers Day festival and Grandma, Aunt Jody, and Aunt Teri always enter a float in the kids parade.  They love using this as an excuse to get all their grandkids together, build a float, and spend time together.

This year's theme was "The Places You Will Go" and they chose to do the Pixar movie Up.  The kids loved the balloons on the float and being inside the house.  Of course, it was extremely hot out and being in the house was really hot, but Paxton and Alex really enjoyed being in there.  This movie is currently one of the kids favorites to watch, especially Amelia.

Alex was excited at the evening parade when he recognized a good friend in the parade, State Senator Andy Manar!!  Amelia was more interested in the candy than a picture!!  The kids rode a few rides and had lots of food and candy.  The kids had a great time and I know Grandma did too!

After School Snack

Snacks are a must IMMEDIATELY upon arriving home from school!!

Funny Faces

This is what Alex and I did while Daddy put Amelia to bed tonight.

Pre-K Screening

Today Daddy took Alex to Sherman Elementary for his Pre-K screening.  He did a great job answering all the questions and doing what was asked of him.  We didn't figure he would be eligible to participate in the program, but figured it was a good way for us to gauge if there were areas we needed to work on.  We are very happy that Janna is teaching him so many things at daycare!  We have a smart little man on our hands!

As a reward, Daddy let the kids play at the playground.  Amelia was more entertained watching the cheerleaders practice outside, and even attempted a few moves.  The result was a huge goose egg on her head.  We need to work on her coordination skills a bit!!
