Clapping, waving, bubbles and more....

Time sure does fly!!  I figured once school started that I wouldn't be able to post a lot...so I will just have to settle for lots of events in one blog!!

Jenny discovered that Whitney loves bubbles!  She doesn't necessarily go crazy reaching for them but loves watching them fall to the ground.  She even learned the sign for "more" while asking for more bubbles!!  She doesn't use the sign frequently but we are working on it:)



Whitney also loves playing peek a boo with Jenny, she goes behind the door and peeks through the opening which makes her giggle!!


Whit has acquired a new hobby....stacking Tupperware!!  Jenny keeps her Tupperware in the bottom cabinet since her girls loved playing with them and has me convinced that I should do the same!


We have been working on waving, clapping and blowing kisses for about a month now and she did two of the three this weekend!!  Aunt Kelley feels special since Whitney waved to her for the very first time...although it was on my birthday so perhaps she did it for me!!  And then on Sunday she took a break from her bottle and just randomly started clapping.  It is the cutest thing ever.  I will see if I can get a video of it this week!!


She is not yet crawling but I have a feeling it is just days away.  We have all of our gates/corner protectors and outlet covers ready to go for when she does decide to move!!  She practices on her hands and knees and has only gone backwards so far.  Whit loses interest in it and decides to lay down quickly but I think once she figures out what to do she will rest no more! haha

South Haven, Michigan

We love Michigan and had such an amazing time on our family trip to South Haven this year.  The 4.5 hour drive was easy with older kiddos and totally worth it for the memories we made this year! An old high school in downtown South Haven was renovated into lofts recently and we decided to check it out.  It was such a cute place with pieces of the high school here and there for memory sake.  They had old school desks as the sinks in the bathrooms and lockers turned on their side used as planters throughout the building.  The lofts were very nice and spacious and had an indoor pool and movie theater. We had some great food this time around and even met up with some friends that were staying nearby.  The girls loved being on floats in the water, swimming in the pool and checking out downtown.  I would say the highlight of the trip was the dune ride we took on a rainy morning.  It was so much fun and had such amazing views!! Spending five uninterrupt...

Broken Bone

During quarantine Ryan and I were always saying to the girls, "be careful and don't break anything, we dont want to have to go to the ER during this crazy time...." Whit of course breaks her wrist smack dab in the middle of it all!!!  Myself, Ryan and both girls have never broken a bone -- why does it happen when we literally aren't supposed to and don't want to leave the house!?!? Whitney was riding her scooter on April 22 and the wheel got caught in a crack on a neighbors driveway, down she went catching herself with her left wrist.  She immediately screamed out, "I BROKE MY ARM!!!"  I knew it was a bad fall but everything looked okay, just a little blood and I thought this is like her other falls where she is pretty dramatic.  Fast forward and hour and she is feeling sick to her stomach and still in a whole lot of pain.  We luckily have several neighbors in the orhto field that took a look at her arm; she put it in an ice bath and they suggested t...

Fantasy Football

Football season has arrived which means all the men in our family start using "uh huh" and "mmmm hmmm" as their main vocabulary.  This is especially true on draft day when all of them gather at the Sims house for good food and lots and lots of football talk!  The girls make sure they are "seen and not heard" on this day and usually congregate far away from the madness that ensues inside.  Picture this: 15 or so guys huddled over pages and pages of spreadsheets listing every football player worth anything in the NFL, scrambling to make just the right pick, only to receive 'smack' talk from all the other guys about how that wasn't the pick they would have made.  Bret doesn't mess around and has a larger than life poster to list all the draft picks with color coordinated stickers.....Im telling you if you haven't experienced this you won't believe your eyes!!  Once the draft if over (after about two hours of the above craziness) they a...
