Good morning, World! I haven't been on here in a bit, just to blog. I was talking to an old friend on facebook last night who said she liked the recipes I was posting! It was so good to hear that someone was even reading the blog, lol! I know people read more when I was pregnant with the kids. Truth be told, that was the reason I started this blog in the first place was so that I could "journal" during my pregnancies and while the kids were growing. It's shown quite the progression as Michael and I have made our way through the years and our marriage. :)
Here's a little of what's been going on in our lives lately:
SAHM - As (almost all of) you know, I am a Stay at Home Mom! It has been 14 months since I worked at Belden's. I (almost always) love staying home with my kiddos and my nephew. Potty training has been a special challenge to my patience. :\ Fortunately, I think (most) of that is behind us now. Dayton seems to be completely potty trained, it's been ages since he's had an accident for me, and Avery is well on her way, nearly having it mastered. Of course, not working means I am in the house, literally ALL THE TIME! And for those of you who don't know, I'm not really an introvert. I need to be out, to get out of the house, to see people, to entertain. So I've been making an effort to get out of the house to maintain my sanity.
Baseball - The Wichita Wingnuts are our local minor league baseball team. We've enjoyed several games already this season. On Mondays they have "Dollar Night" where you can get in to the game for a dollar, and select concessions (hot dogs, small popcorns, small sodas, ice cream cones, and ice cream sandwiches) are also a dollar. This makes for a pretty affordable family night. On Thursdays they have dollar beers as well as dollar wings. This last Thursday we went and Avery got to run the bases after the game! She had so much fun!
Zoo - Michael and I renewed our family membership to the zoo this year. We'd managed to get the whole family in under the "Member Plus" membership for the last 4 years (we had our membership long before the kids were around). The member plus means there is one named person on the membership (me) and I could get in one guest (usually Michael), kids 2 and under are free, so we haven't had to pay for our kiddos yet. However, since Avery turns 3 in a few months, we would have to start paying for her. So we upgraded to the family plus membership. We can get in 4 kids, our two, and Sis and Adam's two, since I babysit them and will be taking them with us. Michael and I both have our own membership cards, and we can get in one additional guest. So when we have people visit, we can get in at least one other person in for free. We love the zoo! We haven't gone as much since the weather got hot, but anytime there's a nice day, we like to try to get out there. We get our money's worth out of that membership!
There's a lot more that we've been up to lately, but I need to attend to the kiddos now, and if I don't publish this now, I'll forget and another half finished blog won't get posted. :P Maybe more later (or eventually). Love you all! Have a great Monday!
